Chill Bumps and Tears

Nothing but chill bumps and tears when I watch replays of the Auburn game from yesterday. I have listened to my dad talk so many times about "Bo Over the Top" and other iconic Auburn plays over the years. I was so lucky to be in Jordan Hare to witness this miraculous play that will be talked about for years and years. To make it better, I got to witness this iconic play sitting by my dad. My dad, an Auburn alum, raised me right. Growing up an Auburn fan, I didn't apply to any other school. I always knew it would be Auburn. There's something inside of you that just lights up when you become a member of the Auburn family. That feeling doesn't leave when you graduate and come back for football games. I now understand how special it is for my dad to come back and visit. Before attending Auburn, going to the games was something exciting to do. Once you have been a student and experienced the Auburn spirit, coming back reminds you what a special place it is. A piece of me will always be in Auburn, AL where I met my best friends. Watching yesterday's game beside my dad in our favorite place and hugging in pure joy after such a marvelous play and big win is something I will never forget. Our first game together since I became an Auburn alum will forever be hard to beat. 

As great as this weekend was, last weekend was fun as well! Mom came to Atlanta so we could go see The Rockettes. The past two years, mom and I have gone to Nashville to watch The Rockettes. Since I moved to Atlanta and don't have the whole month of December off for Christmas, it was going to be too much to go see them in Nashville. Luckily, they came to Atlanta! We had a great time, even if we did cheat a little by enjoying something Christmas related before sundown on Thanksgiving. We enjoyed spending the weekend at my grandparent's house! One of the best things about going (besides spending time with Bebe and Papa) is Papa's breakfast. It is absolutely my favorite meal to eat. Mom and I tried to start mapping out our Black Friday (Thursday) shopping plan! I am so excited to be home on Friday for the whole week of Thanksgiving!

School has been going pretty well. It has gotten easier as the year has gone on! I am up to 5 girls!!!! I learn something new every day, both good and bad. Can't believe it's already almost Thanksgiving Break! Luckily, we get the whole week off for Thanksgiving! There are school wide activities scheduled for Thursday and Friday, which is genius. Hopefully the week flies by! I can't wait to be in Hartselle! As always, please continue to pray for my kiddos. As the weather gets colder, I worry more about them. So many of them walk to school in the mornings when it can be so cold. Pray I continue to give them the love that they need!
