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.
