The beginning of my last semester at MTSU!!

Tomorrow my last semester at MTSU begins. I am worried, scared and already stressed. While my roommate who is in the IDES program with me is relaxed and convinced this will be a breeze. I think that I am feeling a little anxious about it because during my summer class my teacher decided to tell us that they had to put us through the ringer one more time before we could finally graduate. I felt as though she was attacking us and out to get us already. Mondays and Wednesdays I have 2 classes, starting at 9:10 and ending at 3:10. Those will be my long days. Tuesday and Thursday I only have one class from 8:00 to 10:40. Thursdays I will go from class straight to work. Then I have to work Fridays and Saturdays. So if Class 4 days a week and work 3 days a week doesn't kill me, maybe I can do this :)
I moved into my new apartment last Sunday and I am really excited about how that is looking :) I have some awesome roommates and I think it is going to help my stress level living with a fellow IDES Girlie! I'll keep you updated. Here are some pictures of my new 4 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment.

REVIT FINAL!

Ah, a long five weeks but I have finished the final project with a whole day and a half to spare. We have a comprehensive final test on Thursday and then I will be finished with this class and have my A! Our final project consisted of a 2 story house that we had to input into Revit. We used the "client's floorplan" to produce our project. We also used basic furniture and casework to create a furniture layout for the house, unfortunately some of the materials and colors are default so they do not give the best look. Here are some renderings from my project! Enjoy! Renderings are computer aided drawings with color and texture. We have learned to HAND render as well as use programs such as Revit, Photoshop, and SketchUp. Enjoy!

Once again, Thank you for reading. Sorry so short! Time to move!

Love is the arms that are holding you, Love never fails you.

As most of you know, Michelle Collins (my cousin) married Austin Harris this Saturday, July 31st. My mom, Cody and I flew up on Thursday night, after my class and several errands. After a number of setbacks on the way there, we finally made it to my God parent/ Mother and Father of the Bride's house at 1:30 am, very very late Thursday night. Friday morning we got our nails done!!

A few snap shots before I began my duties for the wedding, handing out the programs and reading a wonderful verse.

It was a beautiful, yet casual wedding. Michelle did not miss a thing. Everything went off with out a hitch and even most of the rain held off for the ceremony. Definitely got some ideas for my own wedding, you know, 9 years from now. haha.
I would like to leave you with this beautiful song.

Love will not cease at the end of time.
