So much to look forward to! YIPEE!
Let the Countdowns Begin!
WHY IS IT SO COLD IN ALABAMA???
...What? I'm just asking...
Anyway...what up, bloggie? Long time, no talk. Enrique Iglesias seems to be stuck in my head permanently. I'm not quite sure if I'm ok with it or not..."I can be your hero baby..."
Chick-fil-A is oh so good. I might or might not have eaten it twice in the past three days. Eekk! I am not ashamed. Furthermore, I am thankful that Chick-fil-A is on my Auburn meal plan for next year. I am going to turn into a chicken by Christmas break.
My life is SO. STINKING. AWESOME. Seriously. I have the best family and friends on the planet, and we have so much fun. The only drawback to my current state of life is stuuuupid high school. I really don't like it, and I wish I could just fast-forward to summer. I'm predicting that it will be the best summer of my entire life, so that's exciting, right? School is the only thing keeping me from it. I don't mind homework, I love my teachers, I don't hate my peers...it's just the waking up early and being there for 7 hours 5 days a week...WOOF. Good thing I will get to get away from that by becoming a teacher... :/
My sweet friend Rebekah got me to join Mocha Club this week. I am on Auburn's Mocha Club: Education team. Woot woot! Everyone on the team pledges to give $7 a month (the cost of two mochas) to various projects in Africa, and we meet with one another every now and then. Learn more about MC at www.mochaclub.org
If you watch The Bachelor, you have GOT to read this blog: http://ihategreenbeans.com SO funny. I wish I could be as funny as the lady that writes this...
Caroline and I are taking a little trip to The Plains tomorrow, and I am PUMPED. I really need it. Plus, I get to see all my camp fwiends that I love like crazy!
Saturday morning, I am going with my danceline sponsor to Pure Barre, a new workout studio in Birmingham. I don't know much about it, but supposedly it combines yoga, pilates, and ballet for an hour-long workout. Plus, the first session is free, so I figured it was worth a shot. I'm excited, I love exercise!
I love my "pearl" earrings. I bought them at the Chevron at the Brompton exit off I-20 about a year ago, and they've been in my ears pretty much every day since. Such a good $0.99 investment.
I got to see Abby, Wilson, Elle, Trent, and Sean last weekend. I love spending time with my friends. They make me laugh a LOT. Plus, there was Momma Goldberg's...need I say more?
Clean out your t-shirts! My lovely friend Jamie is collecting new or gently used t-shirts for the Birmingham AIDS Outreach program. I cleaned out my t-shirt stash last night, and came up with about 20 shirts, so let me know if you would like to donate and help her out.
Also, my very talented sister-in-law, Senia, is making and selling the most adorable baby hats you've ever seen. All the money goes to a medical mission trip she will be taking in a few months. So, if you find yourself with a new little nugget, or know someone who is expecting, think about their little cold heads and get Senia to knit them a hat. I will try to get a picture up soon.
As always, I give my God credit for everything good in my life. He continues to bless my life beyong my expectations, even though I have done nothing to deserve it. I love Him so, so much.
So...homework awaits me. Gross.
Look for a picture post soon!
Y'all not Ya'll
The rule for writing contractions is as follows: The apostrophe should be placed at the point in the word at which the letter or letters are removed between the combined words.
Example: "do not" becomes "don't": the apostrophe is placed where the "o" in "not" has been removed
Example 2: "could have" becomes "could've": the apostrophe is placed where the "ha" in "have" has been removed
Therefore, since this simple rule is true for every contraction in the English language, one would assume that someone wanting to combine the words "you all" would sensibly (and correctly) write "y'all," for that is where the letters have been removed. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why people think that it should be "ya'll." No missing letters, no need for an apostrophe. I understood this rule around age 7...one would think that an adult with a college degree could understand too. Come on!
Also..."wouldn't've" is NOT a word...don't get me started...
Senior Pictures
Shane took my senior pictures at camp and they turned out wonderfully!
Thank you, God, for camp, and talented big brothers.
Ketchup
Senior year thus far has undoubtedly been the best of my high school years, but I have literally never been so busy. Between school, Cougarette, Auburn trips, and time with my wonderful family and friends, I don't really have time to sit down, much less to blog. So, my apologies. However, Clay-Chalkville's football season has come to an end, which frees up a tremendous amount of my time. Ergo, a bloggie!
Cougarette has been a whirlwind. We had a wonderful football season, and the girls worked so hard for months to make it happen. At competition, we received perfect scores, and scored a Best in Class Band and a Best in Class Danceline. I'm so blessed to be able to be part of such a great group, and I'm proud of all we have accomplished.

I LOVE my coach. She consistently goes above & beyond, and I'm so blessed to have worked under her this year.
GREENIE!
Savannah came back to visit and remind me of how much I miss her
Katie, Jordan, and I at the Hewitt game
Yes, that IS a Best in Class trophy I'm holding!
Every chance I've gotten, I've been in Auburn. I'm not one to brag, but they haven't lost a single game that I have attended this year, so I like to think that I am their good luck charm. Just sayin.
The Trinity at the first game of the season versus LA Tech
Sweet surprise, we found Liz!

In other fun...
We went to the Lake Martin amphitheatre to see Sister Hazel, and had SUCH a fun time!
Juuuust dancin'...pretty typical.
One of my lovely best friends, Katie, had a birthday!
The city of Clay had a bonfire/pep rally before the first playoff game, and everyone had a fantastic time. I thought it would be appropriate to wear my indian shirt...
My precious friend David
I wonder if Katie gets tired of me jumping on her back in pictures...oh well
Here's the thing...Caroline and I have a serious addiction to Momma Goldberg's. We're ok with it.
That about does it. As always, God is doing incredible things in my life, and I while I still and always will fall short, He is loving me and guiding me as I strive to become better. I'm so blessed, and I love my life.
I believe in Auburn, and love it.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, I am now officially an Auburn University student! The president thought it would be kind to send me a letter letting me know that Auburn would be "delighted" to offer me admission in the Fall of 2010. He also jotted me a little note (ok, a big 11 X 14 certificate) telling me that I don't have to worry about paying them any money to go to school there, he's got my tuition and fees covered for four years. Wasn't that nice of him?
