Heck no, I am not getting married. Have you lost your mind?!
But my friend Jessica is! So, it's time to celebrate and off I go to Charleston in just a few short hours. The suitcase is packed. The only thing standing in my way is a little more work and class tonight. But I am hitting the road to Bham ASAP after class.
Ready for the weekend!
It is that time of year again in Starkville, Bulldog Bash. The whole Cotton District turns into one big party. Of course I joined in on the fun because I am not going to miss something that exciting. My friends Jany Gray and Allan live in the Cotton District and were nice enough to invite me over to the party. I must admit that it was a grand ol' time! We drank beer, talked and just listened to music all night long. Jeanie and I decided that we should brave the real crowd and go see Third Eye Blind that was the headliner down on the big stage. So we went. But I should mention that Jeanie is pregnant (she is married to a guy named Grey, they already have a sweet daughter named Lucy). Looks like she is 22. So we laughed that this knocked up college kid (she has graduated from college just looks young for her age) and I were walking around the Bash. It was a sight. We left after we got one beer split on us and when people started fighting us for our position on the sidewalk underneath the cross walk sign. It was fun while it lasted but I would rather sit on the porch and listen.
So it was a White Out (wear white to the MSU game). Problem: it is pouring down rain outside. Solution: wear a white shirt and put the green northface over it. Problem: northface will not keep you completely dry. Solution: Ask Jane Gray to borrow a shirt when I randomly showed up at her house. I biked to campus because I thought that it was going to be better than driving. No, I got soaked. Bad decision on the white shirt too. I waited until half-time to go the MSU game. Good decision. We left the guys at the apartment and the girls went on our happy way. Well, it was happy until that goal line stand.
Overall, great weekend! Lots of fun! Can't wait for next weekend.... Charleston!!!
My social life for the last several months has been lacking in many areas due to the fact that I had to take boards. I started studying in May and continued almost daily until this past Saturday. But the good news is that I passed!!! I cried for joy when I found out. I am sure that the people sitting next to me though that I was crazy. I am sure that I gave my parents a scare when I called crying (but then again maybe they know me well enough to know that I cry easily).
I celebrated by purchasing a new pair of running shoes. I guess now I have to start training for another half (suggestions of ones to run??). I should also say that Sarah Marie helped me celebrate by buying me a cupcake... yes, a Registered Dietitian ate a cupcake to celebrate passing boards. It's all about portion control and I am not willing to give up the things I love!
Thanks for the prayers over the summer! And sorry if I hurt any of your feelings by not telling you when I was taking boards... I wanted to keep it quiet.
If you know me at all then you know that there is one thing that I love... college football and especially Auburn football. This Saturday brought a smile to my face because it marked the return of Auburn football and new era at Auburn.
I started off the day tailgating at MSU. This time last year I was still getting settled into the Starkville chapter of life but this past weekend I felt like a local. I bounced around between several tailgates and ran into friends. After watching the Jackson State Sonic Boom band I decided that it was time to leave the game. I walked to my car only to realize that I had been blocked in. Thankfully the Allison's live close they graciously came and picked me up from campus. I watched the Auburn game at their house because ESPN-U does not come with our cable selections. Auburn has many improvements to make but that is expected after any first game!
In 4 days I will be in AUBURN! I could not be more excited! Lets hope that this week goes by really fast!
So I have been meaning to blog for weeks now and I have had plenty to blog about but I just never sit down to do it. I will do better.
So today I freaked out. I had interns start their rotation with me! HOLY CRAP! It was just a year ago that I was in their place and now I am teaching them. Crazy to think what has happened in a years time! But it is really exciting! I will keep you posted on how it goes. Thankfully, I have a great group and I am sure that they will continue to get better with time!
You might laugh that I have spent a good amount of time this past weekend thinking about this. I guess that it is because this weekend marked a fun weekend in sports that I really enjoy. I have been blessed to attend some pretty amazing sporting events in my life... Olympics, Tour de France, college football games all across the southeast and lots of MLB games. But there are two sporting events that I would love to attend one day...
Growing up we would tape Wimbledon and watch it after church...today's match was just amazing! 
Although I can't play golf at all I think that it would be so much fun to watch golf on such a beautiful course! Maybe one day I will have the chance to go to both of these!!!!
Ok, I am sure a planner. Yes, I plan things and I like to plan lots of things. And I like to plan things a long time in advance too. One things that really gets under my skin is when plans fall apart. I had some great 4th of July plans and now it appears they are no more. It makes me sad. Now, I will just need new plans... suggestions/invitations?? hahaha (J/K!)
