time flies

This past week has absolutely FLOWN by. I took a couple of books home convincing myself I was going to hunker down a day or two at the Trussville Public Library and get some stuff done. Yeah right. That was a complete waste of space in my suitcase. Good intentions I guess. Since we had a test on Friday night I didnt do any packing before then. I spent Friday night packing and putting up all of our Christmas decorations. My roommate Kim cracks me up at the amount of Christmas decorations (and other holiday decorations) she has. She pulled a trunk out of her closet and started pulling stuff out! We got our tree up and our lights and stockings hung. Santa would be impressed :) I woke up early Saturday morning and loaded the cra and headed home. Saturday was Kayla and Chad's wedding. It was seriously one of the sweetest weddings I have ever been to. It was definitely God-centered and precious. She looked absolutely amazing. Congratulations Mrs. Bates! Sunday night we went to my old church. Both of my grandmothers had a little concert. For those of you who don't know, my grandmothers have been best friends since before my parents even started dating. Their choir show was precious. Memaw even had a solo. Of course we went to Habaneros to celebrate. Josh amazed everyone by ordering super hot salsa while everyone else got mild. He is crazy like that. Monday I just hung out at home with my parents and my brothers. They were all off  work and out of school so we just watched TV, played games, and just hung out all day. Tuesday me, mom, and brothers went to lunch and shopping with Granny and then Stacie and I went to see Mel at her new job. Of all of my friends, I would least expect Mel to get a second job. But that is just what she has done so hopefully she loves it! Wednesday we went to get Thanksgiving decorations because we had my grandparents over for dinner. Spaghetti for pre-Thanksgiving. Delish. On Thanksgiving day we went to Granny's for too much of her amazing food. Then we painted door hangers. Last year we painted nutcrackers and Granny liked it so much she decided to make it a tradition! Then we played our family's annual Turkey Bowl. I scored 3 touchdowns! There is an upside to being a giant! Then Me and Josh went back to his house to visit with his family for a little bit. Finally, on Friday, we went to Tuscaloosa for the Iron Bowl. Andy and Garrett went with us and we had a really good time! It was such an exciting game...well the 2nd half. We pulled it off and now it is on to South Carolina, again. War Eagle! I drove back to Auburn this morning and Toomer's was completely covered with toilet paper. It goes all the way down the street. Amazing.

My break was much needed and much enjoyed. Now I have to focus on the next 2 weeks. It could quite possibly be the most stressful 2 weeks of my life. Bring it on Harrison.

war eagle

We won the West! We're going to the SEC championship! Atlanta will turn orange in December. The Georgia game was probably one of the most fun games I have been to. It was exciting. It was emotional. It was awesome. After the clock went to 0:00 the fans and the students stayed in the stadium to celebrate. We stayed for a while. They played this video in the middle of it all.

War Eagle.
It has really been a fun season so far and it isn't even over. Stupid Georgia fans set the TP at Toomer's on fire. Way to be like the Alabama fans.

Now there is only Alabama left. Everyone seems to think we are going to lose. Well I say let them think that because it is when we're expected to lose that we win big. We got put into a lottery to get tickets to the SEC championship and then the bowl game that we go to (hopefully it is the one in Glendale!) I am praying I get both...is that selfish?   :)

almost there

Today is ONE MONTH until we are done with our first semester of pharmacy school. I cannot believe it is so close to being over. School has been going so great. I got another A on my mammalian test. Tomorrow we have a bonus test because everyone else in the class did terrible. I was 1 of 9 people to get a 90 or above out of about 150 people. God is too amazing. I got a 59 on this same test the first time I took it. Christ never ceases to amaze me at His control over everything in my life. In between now and Christmas break, we have a ton to do. We have 2 tests next week. Then I will have to do a little bit of studying over Thanksgiving break because I have 2 tests the week after and then finals the next week. However, I am going to enjoy that time off. I cannot wait to see my family and my friends! Kayla's wedding is that Saturday too. I cannot wait to see her marry Chad (expecially at the Alabama Theater) Me and Josh also have Iron Bowl tickets so we will be in Tuscaloosa (yuck) that Friday. Hopefully we won't regret that decision. Haha. I have been to Tuscaloosa a lot but I have never actually gone to a game. Hopefully WE will be the ones yelling our version of Rammer Jammer inside the stadium. After Thanksgiving break we have 1 week of class and then finals. Then I finally get to go home for a couple of weeks. I get to see Ashley Mills at Lindsey and Allen's wedding. I can't wait for that wedding too! I love weddings. I tear up at every one. I am such a sap. Ha! Maybe I will be able to keep it together at my own. I guess we'll see in a few years.

patients

I am getting ready to go on 2 patient visits today. I seriously have been blessed by the patients we go see every week. Thay really are 2 of the cutest sweetest little women on the planet. I love going to see them. You can really tell they benefit from not only the pharmacy part of it but aslo from the company. I love putting in the hour every week.

On another note, both me and josh have pulled a muscle in our backs. We are a sad sight to see. I have to work 10 hours this weekend and can't find someone to cover (which means standing for 10 hours aka hurting back) so pray I make it.
