she's back!

After organizing my life with only 3 weeks left in the semester, I have a little bit more time for sweet and cute things!  Also, I gave up sweets for Lent, so I can finally gorge on some goodies!

Here's a fast update on my last few weeks:

School is nuts.  Work is nuts.  Everything is under control, but I'll be glad to have my life back in 19 days!  The downside to all of that, however, is that I will actually miss going to classes because I have gotten so close with all the girls in my major.
my cray-cray homework schedule...
this doesn't even include work/group meetings/social life (just kidding)

It's that time of the year when awards are awarded and honorees are honored so I've been blessed to receive a lot of those kinds of things but it does keep me busy!
my cupcake after mortar board induction!
I guess this is where our dues go...

I am a Sigma Rho Chi recruitment counselor and I have been learning about the in's and out's of rush for the fall and have been making some fabulously amazing friends along the way!

I met half of my sweet boyfriend's family over Easter weekend and now that we have crossed that hurdle I can breathe again! His family is 1/18th the size of mine so it really was fine.
my official induction into the clan

I have officially submitted my application to go to South Africa!  Prayers would be appreciated!
this is from addo elephant park, 40 minutes from my school!


So, all this said, I decided to make some cupcakes to celebrate myself (and to bring to a study group...)!

I give you Strawberry Champagne Mini Cupcakes!  They were delicious, with and without the frosting.  I added more champagne than I needed to (naturally) and it was a very drunk treat but everyone still enjoyed them!

isn't this the cutest color you have ever seen?!

the frosting consistency didn't come out the way I wanted
but this way it forms a cute little cupcake beret! 

seriously, I wanted to rename myself Eloise and plop down
in the middle of the Plaza when I ate these!
