The Mississippi Journey!

It was one year ago today that I was awaiting for the computer to tell me where I would be spending the next year (or possibly more now) of my life. My sweet friend Mary Martha waited up with me until midnight. She even distracted me with things to do so that the time would pass quickly. And she gave me a few glasses of wine to help me relax. I never thought that I would love Mississippi as much as I do!

This past weekend was Super Bulldog Weekend. What is that you might ask? It is packed with activities like baseball, arts festivals, brunches, more baseball, tailgating, football, and time with friends. I welcomed two friends to Starkville for the weekend. I will say that our guest room has been put to great use! Sarah Marie and David both come north for the fun packed weekend. This was David's first time to get the full Starkville experience. Sarah Marie made her second visit of the year.

Friday night our Supper Club got together and went to the baseball game. It had been a while since we had all (well we were missing a few folks) gotten together. After the game some of us continued to the evening with a game of Scattergories. Saturday morning some girls from my program got together for brunch. Poor David was the only guy so we turned on ESPN so that he would feel more comfortable! We walked around the Starkville Arts Festival and ate lunch at the Deli. The baseball game went to extra innings but in the bottom of the 10th on a homerun won the game for the Bulldogs. We wanted something really low key on Saturday night because we had been out all day. Sarah Marie, David and I all made dinner for Leanne and Nathan and Jessica and Donald. We hung out and talked for a while and then played some cards.

It was a wonderful weekend! Misssissippi continues to be a blessing :)
