410 Thanksgiving

2009-11-19T23:11:00.004-06:00

A few weeks ago Beth and I were on our way to school and we were talking about Thanksgiving and we talked about how fun it be to have a Thanksgiving with some of our friends. So we did it! I was alot of fun!
Our Menu included: Turkey, Dressing and Gravy, Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Homemade Mac and Cheese, Homemade Mashed Potatoes, Squash Casserole, Pumpkin Pie, Apple Dumplings, and a few other things that I can't think of. I am extremely tired. Did you know that there is a chemical in Turkey called Tryptophan that makes you sleepy? I just learned that fun fact tonight.

This is a picture of my Bed Side Table... including Tissue, Meds, Cough Drops, Vicks, Chap Stick, Gatorade, my phone, and Crazy Love. The past couple of days I have been a little "under the weather." Should be feeling better soon.

Our good Friend Tyler takes pictures for a hobby. Back in the Spring we asked him to take some Roommate photos for us. They turned out so good. Well since Spring Molly has moved out and Rachal has moved in. So we needed to redo our Roommate Pictures.

Here are a few good shots that Tyler has sent us:

Kori's Wedding

2009-11-15T14:31:00.006-06:00

A girl that is in my Cosmetology Class got married Saturday. I thought that since I was in town I should go. So I met up with some other girls that are in my class and we headed to Noccalula Mountain where the church was. It was good to see Kori get married and fun to hangout with these girls outside of class.

This is Brianna and I. Brianna has become a very good friend of mine. She sat next to me first semester and the first few weeks was very shy. Then we learned how to do manicures and she and I started doing them on each other every week so became very close. Brianna is hilarious! I have so many Brianna stories, One of my favorites is we had just become friends and she and some other girls at school were going to go get lunch together. She asked if I wanted to go, I don't really remember the reason but I couldn't go and she said "your not going because you are racist, aren't you!?!?!" She said that only because clearly I was not! It has become an on going joke... I will occasionally mess up on her nails and she will call me racist or I will ask her to help me do something and she will call me racist. She is so funny.

Here is a picture of me and the girls that I went with to the wedding. We were sitting almost in this same order and in the middle of the service, Brianna looked at me and said "Girl you are the cream in the Oreo!"

This is a picture of me and Kori (the bride).

This is a picture of Lauren, Kori, me and Brianna. These are the girls who I have sat by at school this past year. Being a Cosmetologist, we talk alot... I know ALL about these girls lives. It has been alot of fun getting to know them.

Getaway to Gatlinburg

2009-11-08T19:40:00.006-06:00

This weekend was such a fun weekend! It was Jen's 23rd Birthday so we thought it would be such a great weekend to getaway and do something fun. We went to Gatlinburg. I had never been to Gatlinburg before this trip. It is a MAJOR tourist kinda place, but I did enjoy our trip.

We packed up Libby the Liberty and headed out Friday Afternoon.

This was taken when we got to the good ole' Ho Jo.

Saturday Morning we started our day real early. We had heard that the Pancake Pantry is delicious but we had also heard that we had to get there early or we would be standing in a line to get in. We got there about 7:30 on Saturday and did not stand in a line at all but by the time we left about 8:30ish the line had already formed out the door and around the building. Kinda crazy however, those Sweet Potato Pancakes were delicious.

Then we headed to Ober Gatlinburg for some Ice Skating, a mini zoo where we did see 6 bears, and also there is a slide that you ride down the mountian on a sled!

We did some shopping aound Gatlinburg.
Getting ready to go out.

Then we ended the day at Dolce Uva, which is an Italian Resturant and Wine Bar. It was such a fun night. They had Karaoke which we ended up becoming the entertainment for the older couples that were also at Uva. We met a "New Friend" named "Dot" and she wanted to join us for the song How Sweet it is to be Loved by You.

Sunday Morning we woke up early again to beat the crowd at Pancake Pantry. We packed up and headed out of town. While on our way out of town we stopped for a little Church by the stream.

This trip really ended up being such a great weekend full of fun memories.

"This is the day which the Lord has

The leaves are turning to pretty colors.
I Love hanging out on the porch and being Cozy.
FALL IS HERE AND I AM EXCITED!

3rd Annual Pumpkin Carving

2009-10-28T17:14:00.006-05:00

It has become tradition at 410 that we carve pumpkins every year. This year is not exception. This afternoon Erin had class so Rachal, Jen, and I headed to First Methodist of Jacksonville where they sell pumpkins and picked out 4 (that were 1/2 off!). It was alot of fun! We ALL had fun no matter what some might say...

Here is my pumpkin.

(This is def. not the best picture of me! I look terrible!)

Homecoming

2009-10-27T07:39:00.007-05:00

This weekend was Homecoming at Jacksonville. It was alot of fun seeing some of my "old friends." Friday Night Janele and Molly got into town and we went to the KA house, WOW, it is so crazy/fun seeing people that I haven't seen in 3, 4, or 5 years. Saturday was the Zeta Alumnae Brunch and then the Football game. It was a fun weekend. I didn't get as many pictures as I had hope but I guess I am learning lessons about Blogging.

She decorated her house beautifully for the party. And the Cake... WOW was the cutest I have ever seen. I told mom last night I want a cake like that for my 24th(AHHHHH I'M GOING TO BE 24!) Birthday!

The past few weeks have been a little Crazy! But I am back to the blogging world. Because I feel like there has been so much to blog about and I am getting over welmed. I am just going to forget about the past and move forward. I do want to share some pictures with yall.

The House Sold!

We had a "Moving Sale"

We spent a few weekends on the back porch, watching football.

John Hayden turned 5! My friends Rachal, Jen, Ashley, and I all went to help celebrate!

We played hide-and-seek... Here is a picture of the winners!

Girls Weekend

2009-09-25T22:08:00.007-05:00

Sorry to all (Mom) my blog followers! The past couple of weeks have been kinda crazy. But I am back to blogging now.

In all the craziness Me and some of my Girlfriends (Jen, Erin, Ashley, Rachal, and Christina) were able to go to the lake last weekend. It rained the whole weekend, which made it so Cozy. Ashley was telling her parents about the cabin and she said "It is a Cozy Cabin which offers Sweet Serenity". Yes it is!

Friday Night we watched a few movies. Then we woke up early on Saturday and enjoyed some good ole' Waffle House.

Saturday we laid around hanging out, reading, napping, watching movies, playing Dominos, and telling funny stories using someone elses hands.
(I will have to admit that Rachal was the best at that with Ashley's hands!)

Then Sunday, we woke up and decided to go to the Mountain. We had Church on the Mountain. Ashley lead us through communion, we had the ipod for some worship music and we were able to all share what is going on in our lives.

Our Communion, Hamburger Buns and Grape Juice

Weekend Part 2

2009-09-13T12:57:00.009-05:00

Friday night after the game I went back to Auburn with Caroline and Bailey. I stayed with Caroline and her Roommates, which was alot of fun.

Dad and Mom came in from Newnan and we tailgated with some of Caroline's friends, and some of Dad and Mom's friends from Mississippi State. It was such a fun day.

Here is the "Best Burger Cooker" (Jeff, Caroline's Boyfriend)

Weekend Part 1

2009-09-13T11:06:00.006-05:00

This weekend has been an action packed weekend! It has been so much fun being with the family.

Friday I headed to Newnan to meet up with Caroline and Bailey. This summer Caroline and Bailey worked at a Special Needs Camp called Camp Hawkins. They met alot of neat kids while working there. There were these two boys who were best friends, Ethan and Owen. They both live near Newnan. Owen is the mascot for his High School Football team. So, we picked up Ethan and went and watch Owen lead his team to Victory.

Graduation from Rolling

2009-09-11T10:37:00.000-05:00

The other night a few of my friends were over and decided it would be fun to go roll another one of our friends houses. I have always loved being apart of such activity. It was fun but I think that that was my graduation night. I think that might have been the last house I will ever roll. When I told mom how I felt she in her so sweet little voice said " Yea, It might be time to grow up."

Here is a picture of the Roommates.

The whole group

And The House...

2009-09-09T20:09:00.000-05:00

My friend Ashley and I decided that we wanted to take a leisure walk around the neighbor hood. We are walking and having deep conversation when out of NO WHERE, a animal (which seems to be the size of a small horse!) starts prancing towards us. Ashley has a panic attack and she freaks out. It jumps on top of us, when it is standing on 2 legs, it is nearly 8 ft. tall. (I might exaggerate sometimes, but not this time.) After being mauled by this animal for a few minutes, we hear the owner (who is sitting on his front porch smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer, who has been watching this whole thing) yelling for Caesar. Finally he gets control of his "pony" and we walk home.

The best part of the story is that when we get back to the house, we are laughing and talking about how no one is going to believe this story and how big this dog was. We get in the car and drove back over to Caesar's house to get a picture with Caesar.

(I don't know if you can tell how big Caesar is but the yellow lab next to him is full grown.)

By the way, Caesar is a Great Dane and is only 7 MONTHS OLD! He is not even close to being full grown!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy DaD!

2009-09-09T08:23:00.000-05:00

You are the GREATEST Dad Ever! I hope that
you have a great day today! Thank you for all
that you do for me and the Fam!
I love you so much!

2009-09-06T11:40:00.004-05:00

Beth is a friend of mine from Zeta, and now she is in Cosmetology with me. We ride to school together everyday. So we have become pretty good friends. Her birthday is actually today but we celebrated last night while watching the Alabama game.

Here is the Strawberry Cake I made for Beth.

Then we ended the Night with a Roommate trip to Wal-Mart.

Where we Live Wednesday

2009-09-02T07:06:00.000-05:00

I thought that it might be kinda fun to show my Blog Readers where I live. The past 2 years I have lived in the most precious house especially for college students.

When we moved in 2 years ago it was Me, Janele, Molly, and Jen.

Then Janele moved out and Cassie moved in.

Then Cassie moved out and Erin moved in.

Then Molly moved out and Rachal just moved in.

A Little Nug for Ya'

(Anytime my friends and I have a good verse, or something that we want to share with each other we call it a nugget which got shorten to Nug. So I will be sharing "nugs" on my blog.)

eternal."

The Weekend

2009-08-30T18:49:00.010-05:00

This weekend was such a great weekend. Mom came in town and we went to the Beth Moore Simulcast at the church that I have been attending the past few months. It was SO great! We both learned alot. I really enjoyed being with Mom and this was the first time that I saw Beth Moore "Live" and I love Her!

Here is a picture of me and Mom before the Simulcast Friday Night

Saturday afternoon Mom went home and I just hungout with some friends.

Jen's Co-Worker Estee invited us to Friends and Family day at her church. We went there this morning. It was followed by a yummy covered dish lunch.

Our Advisor in Zeta has this great chair that everytime I go to her house I tell her how much I love this chair. Today she called and said she was getting rid of the chair, Did I want this Chair? HECK YEA! I went to go get it... Do yall love it? I think that chair will look great in my next apartment/trailer (Wherever I might be.)

Light at the End of the Tunnel

2009-08-26T19:00:00.000-05:00

We started our first day of class on Monday. I have been dealing with making sure classes from Jacksonville have transferred to make sure that I am good to graduate in December.

GOOD NEWS!
Light at the end of the Tunnel! I am and It feels so good. This is my last semester living in Jacksonville, which is kinda weird. I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do and where the Lord will have me to be come December. I have loved hair school and I truly feel that this is exactly where the Lord wants me.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

4 Tooth Brushes= We are ALL home at 410
and ready for the Fall Semester.

This summer has been such a crazy summer for all of us. We took classes, got a new roommate, were all in and out of the house and in and out of Jacksonville from going Home, and trips. So going into the bathroom tonight made me happy to see all 4 toothbrushes.

Feels Like Rush to Me

2009-08-21T16:18:00.004-05:00

This weekend I am helping out with Rush. I absolutely love Rush! I have always thought that it was one of the best parts about being in a Sorority. It is very cheesy but so much fun. One of my pledge sisters/ college roommate, Janele, is coming in town tonight to help out too and I look foward to spending time with her.

Here is an old picture of me and Janele during Rush 2006, yep I was a Raisin and she was a Break Dancer.

2009-08-18T11:05:00.008-05:00

teach me your paths;
guide me in your truth
and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

Rip what you Sew

2009-08-17T22:48:00.009-05:00

Today was a raining day, a perfect day to sew. I enjoy sewing and am trying to learn to sew. I got my first sewing machine for Christmas this past year.

Mom is doing some window treatments and I thought it would be fun to do an apron. The first one didn't take very long and it turned out cute, so I thought I would make a couple more and give to friends as gifts. (So, if any of my friends are reading this, don't be surprised if you open up your next gift from me and its one of these.)

(Thanks to Mom for Modeling!)

Auburn for the Day

2009-08-16T19:29:00.008-05:00

We went to Auburn for Mom's Birthday. It was just easier for us to head there and celebrate since Bo and Caroline are both there. We all went to Church of the Highlands and then out to eat Pizza at Brick Oven (which was delicious).

(Me, Mom, Dad, Caroline, Jeff (Caroline's BF) and Bo)

After Brick Oven, we went to see Bo's new town home, and Caroline's new apt. then we went to go check out some possible future homes for me. So, I have been THINKING about possibly moving to Auburn in December. I graduate in December and since Mom and Dad don't really know where they might be, Caroline and Bo are both in Auburn, Auburn just kinda makes sense.
While flipping through some Apartment Guides I came across a very very cheap "home." I want to live by myself, so this "home" is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath for $300 a month, not only does it include washer/dryer it also includes 2 axles and a set of tires! Yep, I'm looking at the possibility of becoming a resident of the Barron Trailer Park. Don't really know yet, just checking it all out. I will keep yall posted.

Happy Birthday Mom!

2009-08-15T22:20:00.010-05:00

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Dear Mama! Happy Birthday to you! Tomorrow is my sweet Mom's birthday! I am so blessed and so very thankful for her! She is such an amazing Mom. I hope that one day I can grow up to be just like her! I love you Mom! I hope that you have a very special day!
