125 years young...

This year is a great year to be part of the wolfpack. Not only because our basketball team is on the upswing, or that our baseball team is nationally ranked, but because we turned 125 years old this year!!! So to celebrate, what does a university do? Throw a part no doubt. What a great way to spend an afternoon. Got out of class and was able to get free goodies. 





What would a birthday party be without cake? I am so upset that I was not able to get a better picture of these awesome cupcakes. They were decorated to look like wolf heads and were so neat. I wish I had icing skills like that for my cupcakes.

During the presentations, giveaways, and dance competitions, Mr and Mrs Wolf were always right there in the middle of it having fun and pumping up the crowd. I think that our school is so unique in the fact that we have a married wolf couple as our mascots. Not to mention their outfits for the birthday party were one of a kind. Just another reason why I love State.


My favorite part of the party though was the band that played. They are a local band that all went to NCSU and recently wrote a song entitled :When Jesus Comes Back". If you are a State fan you really need to listen to this song. It will be stuck in your head for a while, but that is not a bad thing!!! Also, our chancellor surprised us and came on stage to sing and play his guitar. He did not just pick any little old song either. Try dueling banjos with the alumni band!!! Who knew that he could do that. He is one awesome guy and I am so lucky to have him running my school. he does so much for us.

This week sure had been good. A short week since it is Easter break, a birthday party celebrating the past 125 years of a fantastic university, and hopefully doing okay on my tests. I hope that everybody is also having a good week and that you are keeping the real meaning of Easter in your hearts this week. Love all of y'all and once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NC STATE!!!!

Sending everybody off with prayers of a blessed journey!!
