Saturday's in Fall

I absolutely love the fall and I love Saturday's in the fall. The weather is just crisp and football is on the TV or we are at a game. Can't get any better in my opinion. I have begun to appreciate the little things in life that make me smile.

On a sadder note, yesterday I went to the viewing of a 26 year old. His grandfather is a close friend of the fam, so we went to support him and his grieving family. This put some things into perspective for me. We never know what tomorrow holds. I think we all take for granted things in our lives everyday. We should not forget to say our I love yous or tell people that we appreciate them. We get so caught up in our every day lives that we forget to say thank you to God and we forget to tell our friends and family how much they really mean to us. It saddens me to think that this young man, who is close to my age, didn't get to say good bye or didn't get to say I love you to his family or let his friends know how much they mean to him. I am guilty of this as well. So, from now on, I will try and not take for granted anything in this world. To all my friends and fam, I love y'all and each of you has made me into the person I am today.

Ok....

These last few weeks have been very trying- due to the fact that I am trying to finish this class at school- while working full time. Take today for instance. I woke up and went to work- on a Saturday. Came home and started doing laundry (haven't had time to do it in about 2 weeks) and started writing a paper for my class- while watching the UGA game. Its 11 pm and I just finished my part of the paper and am getting ready to put away the laundry and get everything ready for church tomorrow. Whew. I love organization and if I don't begin my week with it- well let's just say it isn't pretty. HA

I can't wait to be in Houston in 20 days for my best friend's bridal shower. I CAN.NOT.WAIT. It is going to be amazing and her and her fiance deserve the absolute best. They are the cutest thing and I can't wait to see them! AHH....anywho, after that then I get to see this....

If you don't know where this is....it is the best place....Athens, Georgia. Ansley is finally making the trip to Athens and its going to be awesome!! This is the best place! I can't wait for it to turn cooler up there!!! Its one of the best feelings in the entire world.

Well good night y'all! Yay for a Dawg win today in Oxford! Y'all have a fabulous evening and a great Sunday! I am going to try and get better at posting- well if anyone reads this thing anyway!

Oh Dear

Dearest Aaron Murray,

Well well well....it's another football season in the best college town in the nation, Athens, Georgia. I know things in the past have been a tad bit difficult but I think we need to talk. Things cannot end up as they did last year. The 2010-2011 football season broke.my.heart. I think its time to step it up especially after last Saturday's performance. Now, I understand that Boise was ranked higher but puhlease.....lock it up. I just cannot stand to have another embarrassing season as the last. Ok, thanks. I look forward to seeing you this Saturday at 4:30 pm. Goodbye.

Sincerely,

Concerned fans

Interesting

I found this a few days ago and I found it to be oh so true. This is one of the reasons that I love the South and the people in it.....

"Courtesy, generosity, class and charm. No folks, these qualities didn't die with the Old South after the Civil War. They still exist in the hearts and souls of true Southern gentleman. Aristocratic and working class families alike have been rearing their sons to become the next generation of this rare breed of man. So what is 'Southern chivalry,' you ask? It's always letting a lady walk ahead, enter a room first, and sit first. It's opening and holding the door for her, pulling out her chair at a nice restaurant, and allowing her to place her drink and food order first. With all of this in mind, you must remember that Southern Belles are independent and reserve their right to stand their ground and assert their classy, confident attitudes. As I like to say, hell hath no wrath like a Southern woman scorned, so just be cautious gents!

These chivalrous qualities are instilled at birth in every Southern gentleman's heart, soul, and mind. It's how your mama and daddy raised you. But a true Southern gentleman takes these qualities to heart and molds them into a life journey that will no doubt grant him the success, happiness, and respect that so many Southern gents have received before him. Southern chivalry isn't a dying phrase...it's a way of life still very much alive below the Mason-Dixon."

Just a thought....

Reagan said it best.....

After all of these recent problems with the debt ceiling and utter chaos going on around, I found this and though it was appropriate. I think its sad that our elected government officials are vacationing in the Hampton's or in Camp David and not trying to fix the problems that are going on in this country. It is ridiculous that we, as Americans, living in the most powerful country in the nation, have this many problems. And another thing, we hear more about these problems more so than the 30 United States Troops that lost their lives in Afghanistan over the weekend. I find this ridiculous and selfish of our Government.

Ok, I promise I am done with that. It's just when things irritate you...you have to get it off your chest.

Happy August everyone! It's a great month (if I do say so myself)! The South during these summer months is like a sauna....its crazy. I can honestly say though that I would not give up being in the South for anything. It's just such an awesome place.

This isn't the post that I had planned, but I thought it was one that was something that I needed to get it off my chest. I hope everyone has a great Monday evening.

To start the week....

Go Bravos!

Congrats to the fabulous Atlanta Braves on their 10,000 franchise win tonight against the Washington Nationals. I am so proud to call myself a Braves fan (thank you Garrett!)!!

Bad Day

Do you ever just have those days that you just wish would be over really, really bad? And all you want to do is cry and pretend you didn't wake up that particular morning? Well, today has been that kind of day. I don't understand this world at all. I just don't. It seems like every turn I make or everything I go to do is to please others at my own expense. Just when you think you may have things figured out and everything is going well, life throws you a curve ball and you go down swinging. I just don't understand it at all. I pray all the time and then all of a sudden, life stinks again. I just wish that things could be consistant. I wish that I wasn't trying to please everyone else and for once someone do something nice for me. I hate to sound selfish. I really do. I am not a selfish person. I am just someone having a really bad, horrible day. I really pray that everything will be better tomorrow. Maybe I will just stay out of everyone's way. Maybe that will help.

Happy 4th!

Hellloooo all!!! I hope y'all have a great and relaxing 4th! Let's also remember the reason that we are able to celebrate today and remember those who have fought for our country and those who are currently defending our country! Jared, we miss you!!!!!

This is me. Tomorrow.

Even though the book that I will be holding is a text book.

Happy weekend y'all! Only a few more days till a 3 day weekend! Yippie!

Super Tired

I'm not sure why I am so tired lately, but I am. I am sitting here in my bed at the time of oh 8:39 pm and I am about to fall asleep. I have already taken a shower, washed my face and everything and now I am just about ready to hit the sack. Wow. Hmm...anyway, this weekend we had a fishing tournament which we placed 16th in. We seriously placed with an 11lb fish....craziness.

May I just say that I am watching Real Housewives of Orange County and may I just say that I am so glad that I was raised better than that. Oh.my..lanta. I can't even begin to tell you how crazy these women are. I pray that they learn how to get their lives back together. Why can't people just get along?!

I hope everyone had a great Tuesday and y'all have a great Wednesday! Only 3 more days of this week! Yay!
