Monday, Monday..

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Well, you should take a look at the coat that I got today!! While most women love shoes or purses, I LOVE winter coats!! I just can't get enough of them. At least my fetish is only a short three months and not 365 days out of the year, right?! You see, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately...I have WAY more crimson and houndstooth than I think I will ever have of maroon and white, and I am not even that big of an Alabama fan. That being said, what better time to get use out of my houndstooth and crimson attire than at an Alabama game?? I know, I know...I love Mississippi State but I have the perfect Alabama attire!! So I got this coat today so that I would spare all of you avid Mississippi State fans from having to see me in my crimson and houndstooth that I had considered wearing to the MSU vs. AL game (considered being key word!). I will post a pic very soon!

On another note, I absolutely cannot believe that November is almost here!! Where has the year gone? I have got a lot going on between now and January, and that does not even include work (as of right now)!!

31st-Halloween

7th-Brad's wedding weekend in Orlando

17th-Alabama game

28th-Egg Bowl and family in town!

And I forgot to mention that little Sophie will be turning 1 on November 6th!! I cannot believe that I have had her for almost a full year now! She is just as wild today as she was the day that I got her, but I wouldn't have it any other way :)

And as for December: weddings, weddings, and more weddings!

I am counting down the days until all of our family arrives for Thanksgiving!! It has been over a year since I have seen Riley and Matt and we have got lots of catching up to do :) Can't wait to see yall!!

Every Dawg has its Day..

I have been in Starkville all weekend and had an absolutely amazing time! I was definitely not ready to head back home. I went to lunch with a friend on Friday, dinner with friends that night, and then we all headed downtown afterwards. Saturday, we tailgated all day and went to the game that night. It was a great game...until the end of course! We sat in the student section and had a blast...needless to say, I was absolutely covered in whiskey by the end of the game! I think that I realized just how much I have missed college. We went out Saturday night, and I finally got to hear Southern Tide's band play!! And by the way, they're awesome! I think that every time my friends and I have tried to go see them, our plans have always fallen through! Needless to say, they were amazing and hopefully we will be able to see them again sometime very soon!
And as for Tim Tebow, well he didn't propose this weekend..but I'm still holding out on him :)

For all of my many frequent blog readers, I recently found out that I passed the online personality test for a potential job opening, and I have been asked to interview with the company. In the meantime I am hoping to get a phone call to substitute teach and if not I will be working at the store when needed!

It seems as if I have been soo busy lately! My dad's 50th Birthday was this past Wednesday, so we have been celebrating since early last week. Last Saturday night, we had a family birthday party for him. Sunday night, we threw a surprise party for him with some of his closest friends, and on Wednesday we threw him an "all day" birthday party at the store. We took his commercial slot on t.v. and created a birthday commercial for him, we had a banner made for the front of the store, an ad in the newspaper, two big black wreaths, tons of balloons, his friends had tee shirts that they had made with his picture on the front, a cake with his baby picture on it, and a ten minute slideshow. It all turned out great, and the slideshow could not have turned out any more perfect! He cried when he saw it! I have posted pics below.

Happy 50th Birthday to My Dad!!

Happy 50th Birthday to the best dad in the world :) I hope you have had a wonderful day!!

Awesome Weekend!

Wow..what an awesome weekend!! Friday night, we went to dinner and a movie and then met up with a few friends. Saturday, we had my dad's family birthday at our house. My sister and her boyfriend came into town and we had so much fun! Today, we all went to church and then out to lunch. Tonight, we threw my dad a suprise birthday dinner at one of his favorite restaurants in town. I will have to post pics soon, it was so much fun and he was SOO surprised! He had never had a surprise birthday party, and he absolutely loved every minute of it! Some of his good friends even made tee-shirts with his picture on it..needless to say, he was in heaven :) His 50th Birthday is Wednesday and I cannot wait!! I am working on a slideshow for him and I am also responsible for decorating two wreaths to go on the store's two doors. Little does he know, he's having another SURPRISE party all day at the store on Wednesday! I know he will be thrilled! We have taken his commercial spot for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning to run a birthday commercial that we've all come up with, he has an ad in the paper, a banner out front, a slideshow, black wreaths and many balloons! And by the way, if you're reading this, no telling..it's a secret :) And now that he has gotten to be a Facebook addict, I have blocked him from reading my blog! So he doesn't know ANY of this!! I cannot wait to post pics!

TGIF!!

Well, tonight was fun! I went to dinner and a movie, and then to visit with a few friends! I have been busy today trying to get ready for my dad's birthday. He is turning 50 next Wednesday and boy do we have a full weekend planned out for him! As we were going through all of his old pictures it has been so funny to me because we look EXACTLY alike! Besides the fact that his baby pictures are black and white, if you were to hold mine and his side by side you would think that we were twins! I will have to post a few shortly!

On another note, Congratulations to Whitney and Michael!! They got engaged tonight, and I absolutely could not be any more excited for them both!!!! This summer is going to be soo much fun!

Tis So Sweet..

Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know Thus sayeth the Lord

O how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
Neath the healing cleansing flood

Jesus Jesus how I trust him
How I've proved him o'er and o'er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust him more

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking?
Life and rest, and joy and peace

Well, well, well..

The past few weeks (besides this one of course) were busy, busy, busy getting ready to move and what not. All of a sudden it seems as if my life has just suddenly come to a halt. Within the past week, I have baked two cakes, talked to numerous friends on the phone, and I have watched many movies. Needless to say, I am getting a little restless. Somehow I never thought I would come out and say this, but I would LOVE a job. If you are tired of yours, you can give it to me if you would like..or I mean I could just fill in for you while you took a short vacay :) I am hoping something opens up soon! It seems as if this week has gone by soo slow. I went and applied to substitute teach at another school today. I also talked to the school in which I signed up and they said that I have a very good chance of getting called considering that they are in need of extra teachers right now (with swine flu and all!). Fingers crossed they will call very soon! In the meantime, I wake up every morning at 6:00 a.m....just in case they call of course!!! Are you getting my drift here?? I am started to get bored! Who else would wake up at 6:00 a.m. if you don't have to? Have I lost my mind completely? Tonight I began looking up grad schools and have considered going back. I guess we will wait and see!
