The One with Vandy :)



This weekend I got to go to "Nashvegas" to tour Vanderbilt University. I LOVE it there. The school is absolutely amazing.. like really. I want to go so bad.. my dream is med school there so start praying for me to get in NOW.. please :) I'm going to go ahead and start studying I think.
I would love to live there too.. Elvis stuff everywhere.. I even got my picture with him :) I hopefully will be making many more trips up there...

Watching Friends now... the best show ever.. making this dreary day happy :)
I'm trying not to complain about the cold weather.. I mean why would God want to hear us complain over something He's blessed us with?? So I'm being thankful for the cold.. in my sweats that is..

I woke up this morning and thought, "It's Monday.. I get to watch LOST tomorrow!" Yep, i'm a loser

The One with Logan's 17th!

We decided to celebrate Logan's 17th birthday a little early this year and celebrate on a LOST night! Emily got to experience her very first LOST night, and what a night to come! I think we might have made a fan out of her :) I made chess squares, but better yet, Mr. Larry Ramsey (the husband of the ever popular mealplanningwithconnie) grilled "Larry-burgers".. a.k.a the best burgers you'll ever eat! AND Mrs. Connie made everything wonderful imaginable to go with a hamburger... You can see we're a food oriented group :) LOST was wonderful as always and Logan got to blow out his candle.. yes, singular candle.. I thought I had a 1 and a 7 for 17, but no such luck.. sooooo I improvised. I used a fancy tooth pick for a 1 and the real 7 candle.. could hardly tell the difference ;) Then we played apples to apples afterward.. nothing like an extended LOST night



If you can't read.. the cake says... "We love you Logan"
"H 17 B" (Happy 17 Birthday.. like I said, had to improvise)

The One with the Catch Up

Suddenly, I've gotten entirely too busy.. haven't even blogged in a month!
So just for a quick recap...
1) Had our soccer banquet.. yes, I might have cried a little.. big surprise there.. It was a lot of fun though. We surprised Coach Pettit with a professional collage of pictures his wife put together to remember 'his girls' by.. We ate great food (as always, we soccer kids KNOW how to eat :)).. Coach made his speech, he even wrote it down this time.. I don't believe he followed it one bit, but it was wonderful as always. Then Lewis and Tami Harrell put together an amazing slideshow (the part I cried in). All in all, it's been a great year... definitely will miss it (already starting to)
2. The basketball boys went to 'The Big House' this year! I didn't get to attend many games since soccer and basketball schedules clash, but I made the last few and they were definitely the ones to make! They hosted North Half and won... Our fan section successfully fought (not literally, just kinda) with another student section one night and parents another night... interesting weekend. But anyway, they played so great, and I had my pom poms... Well then they went to Jackson to play in the semifinals for the State Championship. Probably 75 percent of school followed the team to jackson.. the team we played was made of beasts.. every single guy.. but we were proud they came that far and had a fun trip! Anna, Mrs. Mitzi, Molly, and Elizabeth Lunn, and I traveled together, belting out Lady Gaga the whole way.. stopping at Smoothie King on the way back (yummm)


3. Exams this week.. plus work.. plus exercising.. plus finding trivial things to occupy my time= one busy girl! But God has calmed my crazy nerves this week.. He is so amazing.. I was stressing like crazy and He gave me the PERFECT verse.. so that has definitely helped my mood..
AND the warm weather.. even if it was just a day, how amazing was that?? flip flops! Hope of sunshine at some point! haha

4. I'm still addicted to LOST and watch it EVERY tuesday.. I can't miss..
I've become obsessed with listening to Dave Barnes lately...
I'm really wanting to learn how to play guitar... help needed
I sold my old maxima (Maxi) and am now driving Minnie (creative names I know)... I got somewhat nostalgic when the time came to give Maxi away, but I check on her every now and then.. ;)
I colored all day today.. like with crayons.. makes me happy.. I decided I want to be a Disney princess (That's what I was coloring by the way)
I miss Felicia extra bad.... those stupid national boards... I need my sister around a little more
Friends season seven is awesome.. I mean they all are, but this is somehow even better...
I have a fatal cough.. Pretty sure both lungs are coming out soon.. pray for me if you get the chance.. yes i exaggerate a tad..

have a blessed day! Jesus and I love you!!
