A Purrfect Week

9:20 PM

I love making these posts and getting to look back at the fun moments of the week. Last week, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to an exercise class with some friends. I watched some pretty cool things on TV--the college national championship (an Alabama loss is never a bad day), Obama's farewell address and the latest episode of The Bachelor. I also got addicted to Arrested Development on Netflix!

I participated in my last recruitment event as an active--I enjoyed waffles with sisters and got to see my successor throw the cutest Chi O & Co. themed party!


Stafford and I went to dinner and a basketball game, a swim meet, and to the Symphony to hear the music of Journey.


To finish the week off, I got to spend Sunday night at Hannah's kitty themed birthday party! We played hilarious party games and I ate a disgusting amount of food. So blessed with these two beautiful women in my life!

Happy Birthday Blog

10:52 AM

Today I decided to take the plunge and start my own blog.  I realize that few, if any, people want "a little look at Laura," so this blog is more for me than anyone.  I enjoy reading about the humdrum goings-on of other people's lives through their blogs, so I've decided to record mine, if for nothing else, then something to look back on someday.  So today, July 6, fourteen days before my own, is the birth date of my blog.  It will be happy to accept gifts ("A Little Look at Laura" has a special fondness for online shopping, so gift cards would be much appreciated. (: ) and it looks forward to being a place to share my random life experiences.

I pledge as my Mid-Year resolution to keep up with this blog and post as often as I feel so inspired.  If anyone is reading this, feel free to follow my blog and I on this journey.  We'd be happy to have the company.

Ta ta for now,
Laura
