why hey friends long time no talk. (or long time no me type you read my blog…? not sure how that one works….) anyways, it’s been crazy busy in the allison nicole world and junior year is FINALLY wrapping up. can i get an A-MEN? (please feel free to quietly whisper it to whatever device you’re reading this from) Next week are finals for me and on next Thursday I’m off to Ft. Lauderdale for National Speech Tournament numero dos. I’m super excited to speech again but more excited for the beach and shops down in Florida…just don’t tell my coach that. I had a little free time tonight so decided I would update you while I could on what life has been like for me!

national speech tournament numero uno feat. a few sassy members of my team and the best coach on this planet. (Rachel who has been featured here many times before didn’t get the smile memo…)

parent trap twins or Kenna and Ally? I wish we could say we were cute and planned this whole matching thing for watching finals that night but no we just saw each other and said you’ve got to be kidding me and exchanged “you have to go change I’m not gonna”s for a good 10 minutes before settling on just looking like twins.

Just the darn best chicken and fried pickles you’ll ever have. Slim Chicken is now coming to Omaha soon my local friends 🙂

Well there’s a quick update on my life, hope you enjoyed! I can’t wait until finals are over because I have so many fun things in store for you! (feat. more fashion posts which I’m dying to get started on) Hope these last few weeks of school treat you well!

prom. probably a combination of the world’s most stressful and thrilling day combined. usually leaving me in bed for a solid 10+ hours after and even after that still not FULLY cooperating with the rest of the world. Dominic and I go to all boys/all girls schools. (he goes to the all boys i go to the all girls if you didn’t pick that up…) and it was the all boys school’s turn for prom this past Saturday and it was a blast! I got my dress a week before and it didn’t come in until 3 days before…i didn’t pick it up until a day before and it didn’t get done being altered until the day of…..BUT i got it, no worries. (also, this sort of last minute dress thing is soo not abnormal for me) it looked great and was so comfy, PLUS i found out mid pictures that it had pockets and i’m not sure if any feeling could be better.

Dominic was a great date per usual (i know he’s reading this so..thanks dude) and we color coordinated pretty darn well I must say.

is it even a blog life post without mentioning her? yeah the bff was forced to nicely came over and took some pics with me! thanks andrea u da bomb

well that was prom! hope you enjoyed takin a sneak peek of mine, hope yours are just as lovely!

I had the awesome opportunity to head down to Lawrence, KS this Friday with my dad and had an absolute blast so thought you would like to check out some of my adventures!

It was 75 and sunny and honestly gorgeous for the entire campus tour

not gonna lie i would’ve been a little creeped out of the hawks mascots if i attended school back when these guys were cheering on the teams

this jayhawk was much more my style. speaking of style i sported my lilly shorts and a button up which was perfect for the weather. sperrys got me through the miles of walking during the day and some shades were for sure put into play with that Kansas sun

towards the end of the tour we made a private stop at Allen Fieldhouse and i was freaking out to say the least. I’ve only been to one KU basketball game in my life but the chills were still there minus the 16k people it houses on game days (sold out for 11 years may i add, and i mean we kind’ve invented the game of basketball its no big deal)

overall i fell head over heels in love with Lawrence and hopefully cannot wait to be a Jayhawk in a few years! rock chalk and have a great weekend!

xoxo, Allison
