Going to the Chapel

I never thought this day would come!

My best friend is engaged!

I am so excited to announce that Mary Ellen is engaged to

Thomas!

AAHH!

We are gonna have so much fun planning and celebrating!

Of course parties and weddings are right up my alley

and I know we are going to have a blast!

Unfortunately I missed the candlelight at the sorority house and came in late!

I was so upset but luckily Melissa had an impromptu

engagement party after so I got to hear

the story of how he proposed.

They are perfect for each other and I am so happy for both of them!

I am traveling to Auburn on Friday to watch Daphne play Hoover in the

high school football state championship. 

Lu is so excited and since my high school didn't have a football team

it is kinda hard for me to get into it

but I am happy for her to have an exciting time in high school.

Hopefully Daphne can pull out a win!

Go Trojans!

Stay sweet!

Alaska!

I am going to Alaska ASAP!

Tonight I was watching Sarah Palin's Alaska

and it is SO beautiful!

They saw whales, eagles, sea otters and the mountains are gorgeous!

I am planning my trip so if you would like to join just let me know!

I spent most of the weekend working on my Christmas gifts!

I'm not gonna reveal what they are cause they haven't been distributed yet!

But I am really getting into the Christmas spirit!

I have played Christmas music all weekend

and I watched Elf, twice.

So yay for Christmas!

33 days til Christmas!

But we cannot look past Thanksgiving!

I love the turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole and yeast rolls!

We always have hot apple cider and pumpkin pie too!

Then we watch football and just enjoy every one's company!

I am super excited to go home Tuesday cause I am taking my little sister

and cousins to see the new Disney movie Tangled!

I think I am more excited then they are!

Enjoy these festive times!

Stay sweet!

Don't Count Every Hour in the Day

Make every hour in the day count.

I have found that I am terrible with time management.

I mean I get things that I want done,

but when I don't want to do something,

I will find EVERY excuse not to do it!

I have done much better without the temptation of Facebook,

but now I have found other ways to distract myself.

This is going to be a constant struggle for me,

and I know that admitting to myself

that this is a problem will hopefully help me change!

I have however,

found time to see my long lost bff, Catherine!

We both have been so busy that we haven't made time

to see each other!

We had dinner two weeks ago and made a pact to meet up

at least once a week!

She is one of my best friends and I cannot stand

not seeing and talking to her!

Catherine is one of the most genuine and caring people I know

and every time I leave from hanging out with her

I feel so good about life and the people that I choose

to spend my time with!

I know she will always be a great friend for the rest of my life

and I am SO thankful for that!

Me and Cat dressed up for our Teachers and School Girls Swap!

Well I'm gonna go find a way to spend my time productively!

Stay sweet!

Chocolate, Coffee, Men - Some Things are Just Better Rich

Ok so I am not that shallow!

But I have been on a coffee kick lately!

I don't know what it is but once I drink a cup of coffee

I feel prepared for the rest of my day!

Being productive is so difficult sometimes but

coffee always helps me focus and get so much done!

I have also gotten off Facebook as well.

It is so nice not having the temptation to sit at my computer

and stalk people for hours!

I had my awesome roommate Taylor

change my password and only let me on when she knows

I don't have anything to do!

Went to Alabama football game last night!

I hate to say this but it was SO boring!

I could not stop yawning!

Nothing exciting happened except for a few good running touchdowns

but other then that it was so so.

They have got to step up their game asap!

For one of my classes we are collecting toys for the Boys and Girls Club.

I am really excited about this project

because I love children!

When me and Lu were little,

Mama would take us to pick out an Angel Tree Kid to buy

presents for during Christmas.

It was so much fun picking out toys for kids our age,

thinking about what we would want on

Christmas and being able to give them something they probably

would not receive!

Our family also would deliver toys from our church to kids in poverty situations.

I remember one time we went to house that was so run down,

and gave the kids parents a bike to give him on

Christmas and the woman broke down in tears.

Those kind of experiences really open your eyes to a whole new world,

especially as a kid.

Anyways if you want to help us collect toys,

there is a donation bin in Reese Phifer Hall.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Stay sweet!

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Put them in your sweet tea,

and thank God you are a Southern Belle!

The smell of fall is in the air and I could not be more excited!

I love the crisp cold weather, the changing leaves, Alabama football,

and boots/sweater fashions!

YAY for fall!

As Thanksgiving approaches, I cannot help but think about how I have been blessed.

God has given me the best family and friends a girl could ask for

and I would not be the person I am today

without them!

Although I do get anxious about my future,

I know that God has great plans in store for me

and I have an awesome support system in my

family and friends!

I spent this past weekend with the fam,

we went to Lu's high school football game and then got some pizza!

It was fun seeing her and all her friends enjoying their high school years together!

We watched the Alabama game, no comment,

and Mama took me and Lu for mani/pedis!

Being with them overflowed my love tank

and I came back to ttown feeling renewed and loved!

 

Well I am off to class! Enjoy this amazing southern weather!

Stay Sweet!
