2011: the year of the dawgs

so. i know it has been a while since my last post. i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and a great start to the new year. its hard to believe that its already 2011, and i have already been teaching 6 months. its crazy how time flies. i have been super busy since my last post. christmas is philly and gulfport was nothing less than amazing. it is always great to spend time with family, and of course im still a child, so getting presents is a huge plus. im now the proud owner of a beautiful 32" samsung lcd/hd tv. its beautiful. and not to mention michael jackson experience for my wii. needless to say the game is intense. me and anna biggs have done some serious damage to that thing already. we have mastered thriller and smooth criminal, many more to come. this christmas was a new experience for me. first year in the big girl world, and i was able to buy every person in my family christmas gifts. it was such a cool experience. i loved shopping for everybody, and even more watching the excitement on their faces when i actually got the "right" gifts. i miss christmas already. but only good things left to come.

after christmas, it was time to make the trek to jacksonville. what a wonderful opportunity it was to be able to see the bulldogs not only play, but kick ass in a major bowl game. me, mamaw, ali, sally jo, and bailey made the long trip in the acadia. we had such an awesome time. 5 girls (and jonathan) in a hotel room is always interesting. i would like to apologize (again) for my dramatic, explosive, unnecessary pre-party actions. thanks for being such great friends. so nye 2011 was spent at the dawg pound party. cool idea, but im pretty sure we all got screwed. long line, 90 bucks, and 1 shot drinks. but it was really great to see everyone and celebrate nye with bulldogs. here are a few pictures from the paarrtty.


love you two :)

obviously, the party was a blast. but all the bulldogs know we didnt go down there for a party thrown by some kids from tsun. we went to watch the bulldogs play. i would have paid a million bucks for that football ticket. it was a little bit of a struggle to get going after nye. but after being in that stadium and watching the dogs run all over those wolverines i was feeling like a million bucks. im so proud of my dogs. i cant wait to see what this next season has in store. i think dan mullen is perfect. im pissed at manny. but we will be just fine. everybody make your donations and buy your season tickets. because 2011 is most definitely going to be the year of the dawgs. here are a few pictures from the game.

we were really excited!!!

our new friends. haha

2011 has really started out to be a fabulous year. i think its going to be the best one yet. i cant wait to see what god has in store for me this year. so far, ive started couch to 5k, experienced my first duck hunt, and filed for my first real taxes. since my life is so exciting and i know so many people read this, i will attempt to post way more often. hope all is well. i will leave you with my one and only picture from duck camp in belzoni. mexican restaurant with chase, kip, and luke. needless to say, it was quite an experience.
until next time
