Remember that one time when I neglected my blog for almost a month?
And I skipped over Halloween, Parent's Weekend, and my 21st birthday?
Yeah, me too.
Sorry.
Halloween: my least favorite holiday, but my favorite costume yet.
Pan Am, anyone?
The skirt-suit came from Goodwill (of course) and Sara made my hat out of thin blue foam.

| An artist and her canvas. And a flight attendant. |
| Angry birds. |

| We decided they were Pan Am stewardesses...off duty. |
| Divas. (Ke$ha, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Britney) |
Halloweekend also consisted of a visit from my mother and brother. And a football game. And trips to Chick-fil-a and Chipotle. Because we are the Bowers family, and that's what we do.
| Not pictured: Papa Jeff. Maybe next time. |
| Tailgating photoshoot mishap...but I really love this picture. |
| Stevie making a new best friend. |
| Life is just better when mom is within hugging distance. |
And then came my 21st birthday.
Yep, the big 2-1.
| Two words: chalkboard wall. |
Since my birthday fell on a Monday, my loving friend/roommate Sara planned an on-campus picnic so friends could come and go in between classes. Have I mentioned how much I love her?
We all enjoyed pesto/tomato/mozzarella sandwiches, my favorite bean dip, and lemon/blueberry cupcakes made from scratch. That girl knows what she's doing in the kitchen.
| Cupcake headband! And a ThirstBuster. (69 cents for 44 ounces? Let's just say I am so obsessed with that bargain that I just wrote an entire paper on it for my microeconomics class.) |
| Some friends and a brother. |

| And a lawn chair. Why not? |
Oh, and don't worry.
Alcohol was involved.
| First legal purchase. I'm fairly certain the cashier wasn't even going to card me. I pretty much had to shove my drivers license into her hand. IT'S MY 21st BIRTHDAY DANGIT! |
And for my birthday dinner I wanted Mexican. And margaritas.
| The only picture that emerged from that evening. I blame the strength of the tequila. Whoops. |
And now its almost the end of November.
Almost the end of football season.
And almost the end of the semester.
Wishing you all a Thanksgiving week full of relaxing family time, rib-stickin' food, and winning football teams!

I'd just like to say that the "tailgating photoshoot mishap", was not in fact a mishap. I was actually trying to take a candid picture in order to tick you off, but I can see that it did NOT work.
