So this title might confuse you, but I promise... it will all make sense. First of all, this past weekend was HBU's homecoming game and bonfire! I must say, it was a very good weekend for beginning new traditions and...

Tara targetx One of my favorite homecoming festivities is the annual organization chili cook-off. Now, there was some good chili at most of these tables, especially at one of my favorite organization's table: BYX. Some of the BYX guys cooking their chili Mike and Andrew: BYX VP and President 2010 Mike was a great chili chef... I approve! Stefanie, Grace, and Me...two of my beautiful and amazing suite-mates! Love them! Well, homecoming was a great success... we won the game by a lot, and it was full of fun and tradition. Job well done, HBU. Now, for the hurricane part I earlier mentioned, one of my FAVORITE bands, Switchfoot, came out with their new album on Tuesday called "Hello Hurricane" (hence the title,) I am SUPER excited. I will be getting the record tonight, and I suggest you do the same! Awesome. As for other music news... Dashboard Confessional just came out with a new album, as well as John Mayer. I've heard both, and you should definitely check them out for yourself. Lifehouse comes out with a new record this month! Super excitement. Lastly, a local band, Crash 45, consisting of HBU's own Kollin Baer and John Wethington, dropped a new debut album a little less than a month ago, Definitely a winner and worth the listen. Check them out on itunes! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.11053 2009-10-14T22:16:18Z 2009-10-14T23:37:09Z

Tara targetx Pine Cove and I love it! They actually came out to recruit today here at HBU, and we had 25 students come to interview! SO incredible! I have a picture of some happy students that had just finished applying... see for yourself! OK, so its backwards... but I took it with my laptop so forgive me! But it doesn't change the fact that they were ecstatic! Check out the website, its a great way to share the love of Jesus with kids and families all while having a blast!

Hey guys! Well, it's October... but sadly here in the great city of Houston it feels like July. That's OK because I'm sure tomorrow the weather will be different. Houston weather tends to be temperamental, but I like the element...

So many of you that have read my blog before have seen me talk about the band I'm in here at HBU. I never have really dedicated an entire entry to it before, which is interesting... so I thought...

Tara targetx website, which has all of our bios, history, and gig dates. Check it out! We might be playing somewhere near you. Well, I'll post again sometime this week, so be checking up! Blessings, Tara ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.10811 2009-09-16T18:23:33Z 2009-09-16T18:48:34Z

Hey guys! So today I thought I would dedicate an entry to all of the reasons I love HBU and the city of Houston. Let's take a look... HBU provides good friends... Refuge on our retreat Sweet friends of mine:...

Tara targetx Refuge on our retreat Sweet friends of mine: Alisa and Sally Houston provides fun things to do with your good friends.... Like Astros' games! Me with some awesome guys, Andrew and Mike. Or the butterfly museum with my camp friend, Meg! These are just a few of the many things you can do in this wonderful city, and only a few of the awesome people at HBU... so keep checking in for more awesome-ness because it is most definitely coming!

Tara targetx Hey all! It's about that time again... school is starting back up, and I'm back to blogging. All the new freshmen seem to be settling in pretty well. Beanie wearing is officially over now, so I'm sure they are thankful about that! This year I am in Refuge again, but I have a little bit of a different role. I have been blessed to share the lead role with one of my great friends, Michael Razmandi. It's going really well, and I'm excited to see what God is going to do through Refuge this year at HBU and surrounding Houston churches. I'll keep y'all updated about when we have gigs so if you're close, you can come check us out if you so desire! Well, I'm gonna start talking about different subjects each month from student life and organizations to Houston area attractions, so y'all tell me what you want to know about! Thanks for reading, and have a great year! -Tara tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.10088 2009-04-22T16:13:23Z 2009-04-22T20:15:50Z

Hey all! Sorry, it has been quite a while since I've blogged, I apologize, but finals are coming up... along with many other things that have to happen before I can begin my summer vacation. This past weekend at HBU,...

Tara targetx THE Brothers Under Christ Me and Sarah enjoying Island Party! Blackberry Punch! Jeremiah was singin'! Me and the MC of the night, my good friend, Andrew the BYX VP Needless to say, me and Mike were really excited for Island Party Crash 45 was awesome John singing! Kollin and John of Crash 45 Boys will be boys.... Me and my good friend, Jake, demonstrating 100% Pure Energy. We discovered it is possible under the correct circumstances. Me and The BYX... such good guys! Well, I had a blast at Island Party, and some prospective students did as well! It was preview weekend too, and to all you seniors, I hope when Island Party 2010 comes along, you'll be there! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9887 2009-04-07T20:13:58Z 2009-04-07T20:38:50Z

How many Shakespeare fans do I have out there? Anyone? Well, if you are a fan, I have good news for you... HBU has some pretty sold out theatre fans! I will admit, I am actually one of these theatre...

Tara targetx Helena, Hermia, and her lover, Lysander.. or me, Grace, and Corey! Oberon and Puck, or Andrew and Lucy (who is also our director and president) Kyra and Christina play fairies that will tend to Scott, who plays Bottom Puck and Oberon tamper with the Hermia and Demetrius, who is played by Carlos Christina and Sam act as some of the comic relief in the play And here is most of the cast, all piled on a little HBU golf cart! We have fun together. Well guys, if you are interested in pursuing theatre after high school, but might not want to study and major in it, then HBU and Rex Flemming is a great place for you! We are excited for next year to see what new talent comes in, and it might be you! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9781 2009-03-31T06:02:28Z 2009-03-31T06:12:07Z

As you know, there are many campus activities that I have previously blogged about, and I am going to blog about yet another one: Dodgeball. The most epic of all non-competitive-competitive sports! I have some pictures, enjoy! OK, I won't...

Tara targetx OK, I won't lie, I had a favorite team: THE War Pigeons... some fierce guys! :) My favorite fraternity on campus, BYX (Brothers Under Christ) They came in 2nd! Two of some pretty cool guys, and good friends of mine, Andrew and John After the dodgeball tournament, we played some ultimate frisbee on the flooded soccer fields! Amazing!! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9685 2009-03-26T00:26:25Z 2009-03-26T01:28:42Z

OK guys, its been a little while, I apologize for that too! I had pretty busy spring break, but I'm back at school now and I wanted to post a few pics of random places I've been over the past...

Tara targetx And THIS, my friends, is my favorite spot in Houston. Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros. I got to take a tour of the entire field for my birthday! Its beautiful!! I got to sit in the Astros' dugout! :) Me, Sarah, and Brianna at a gig in Humble, TX (Brianna's hometown) Me and Will on the way to his birthday dinner with Refuge! Happy Birthday to Will! My best friends from Baylor came to visit me and we made cakeballs! Yum :) These are the delicious cakeballs before they were coated in chocolate! Well, as you can tell, my spring beginnings have been sort of random, but exciting nevertheless. I'll post again soon! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9523 2009-03-13T03:07:17Z 2009-03-13T06:15:44Z

So, something very exciting happened at HBU this past Wednesday! Robbie Seay and Charlie Hall were in concert on our very blessed little campus! Not only were both of the guys and their bands fantastic on stage, they were also...

And hello, friends! Well, it is time for another "Around Houston in One Semester" entry! This time, two of my very good friends, Sarah (my zoo friend) and Brianna (amazing girl- hilarious and so very talented and beautiful) went to...

Tara targetx They were excited! Sarah found some cute earrings... Fabulous... simply fabulous! Yes. That outfit ACTUALLY exists... And we left happy with cute (and cheap!) jewelry! Well, that was a very fun adventure, and just one of the many places a girl can get some cute clothes and jewelry (did I mention I can see the Galleria from my window?) I'll be posting again very soon telling you about one of my very favorite places in Houston! Can you guess what it is? ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9129 2009-02-16T16:04:55Z 2009-02-23T15:49:28Z

So, this entry is in response to Sara, who asked what kind of organizations we have on campus, and what our residence halls are like. Well, Sarah, here at huh-boo (HBU, if you say it like an actual word.) We...

Tara targetx site We also have many special interest clubs: If you're into the theatre and fine arts, there are the Rex Fleming Readers (which I am in; come watch Midsummer Night's Dream on May 1&2!) There is a mock trial team that competes in fake court cases in order to practice skills necessary for being an attorney. There is FIRM which stands for Freshmen Involved in Reaching Maturity, and there is also SIFE, which stands for Students in Free Enterprise. I could go on and on about how many clubs that exist here because there are so many! I encourage you to check out the HBU website. There are so many cool things you could get involved in if you chose to be a student at HBU! About the residence colleges... we have four options for living right now (three if you're a freshman) The Men's or Women' Residence Colleges, the Lake House, and Husky Village (for sophomores to graduates.) I live in the lake house and I enjoy it thoroughly, but I also have many friends that live in the other residence colleges. I have yet to hear a serious complaint about either the Men's or Women's residence colleges. Overall, HBU is wonderful place to live and get involved in. I am in a few different clubs and groups, and I love the people in them and the activities we participate in. I would encourage you to check out more on the HBU website! Well, thanks for reading guys! Hope this helps! ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/hbu/Tara//439.9058 2009-02-11T16:37:06Z 2009-02-11T16:43:19Z
