gator bait

GO GATORS!!!

GO GATORS!!!  We stomped Kentucky like 63-6!!!  I got to see some of my cousins and my brother!!  We had so much fun!  I was a little sad because we missed game night with all of my high school friends but being at the gator game was amazing.

We left Friday night around 6:30 in the flooding rain, and got to Gainesville at my cousin Julie's house at about 12:30AM.  We talked for a while and the retired to our sleeping quarters and woke up at a few hours later.  Then we met up with my brother and his family and walked around UF's campus and went to the bookstore.  We also watched all of the players walk into the stadium and I took an unhealthy amount of pictures of Tim Tebow!!!  I was so close to him!!!  It was nuts.  After spending too much money, we headed to the stadium where we sat down in our seats.  It was me, hunter, my cousins david, julie, stephanie and jonathan and davids girlfriend nicole.

Anywho, after that, we all went to dinner at an awesome place called Gator something or other, and then had Starbucks and visited.  Then we hit the road and got home really late so I am going to sleep now but I just wanted to share in my excitement.

It has been a while and I have finally managed to find some time to update this thing.  It has been a busy past few days and this 

weekend is only going to get busier but in a good way.  My brother and his family are traveling down to florida for the Gator game this weekend and I thought it would be fun if I could go down and meet them and go to the game-- 1. because I'm obsessed with the florida gators and 2. because i am obsessed with Tim Tebow.  My cousin Julie goes there and got me 2 tickets to come down.  I am so stinking excited.  So me and Hunter are going to go down there on Friday night, stay with Julie at her apartment and go to the game with everyone on Saturday!!  It will be so much fun!

Last weekend, Hunter was in Tim and Melissa's wedding.  It was a lot of fun and a very beautiful wedding.  After all of the festivities, we met up with some of Hunters friends and 

watched the UFC fights.  Fun........haha.  Then, on Sunday we headed down to Walterboro to celebrate Hunters church 150th anniversary.  It was fun.  Then I had to do homework the rest of the afternoon so that kind of ruined my relaxed mood I had planned for the day.  This computer programming class is kicking my butt.  Man, what a major to choose.  I'm just going to have to study super super hard for the next test and the final exam.  Hopefully I won't have to retake this class and add to my already longer 4 years in college.

On a sad note, something has been very wrong with my stomach lately so if everyone could pray for me that would be great.  I have been getting really really sick every few hours after I eat.  I went to the doctor on Monday and they told me to eat some funky diet until Thursday and see what happens.  I still haven't been feeling well at all.  It is getting hard because I have a lot of school work and the end of the semester is approaching and this sickness isn't helping anything out.  Anywho, peace out.

Oh and the purpose of that blog title is very necessary.  Everyone needs to go look up in youtube, Scarlet does the tumble and forward the video to 2 minutes.  I promise you that you will not be disappointed.  I have been laughing all day about this stupid video.

politics and cereal

I have been keeping up a lot with this years presidential election.  I have been studying the different nominees, understanding what they are all about, and learning about their faith and values, and I can say I can stand firm in my choice on who I am deciding to vote for.  I feel like a lot more people are getting involved.  But I also feel like there are a lot of people who are not taking the time to truly get the low down on who they are voting for.  I hope for this election, people will not just decide on a candidate based on certain circumstances or who their parents or friends are voting for, I hope they research and are able to truly say that they would want that person in office because they will have power in a just way, and use it to better America and to rise up and be the leader of this country.

I was watching Sarah Palin on the "campaign trail" in Pennsylvania today, and I was captivated. While she was talking and presenting her stance on different issues and the plans she had for the country, I was busy watching and listening to the crowd in the background.  There were times when everyone would chant USA for several minutes, and everyone was excited and uniting together to support the candidate.  I got the butterflies.  Kind of like when you are at a HUGE baseball game or you are at a place gathered with many different people and you all come together to sing the national anthem. Or maybe because I am weird.  I don't know.  But there is a sense of pride in that.  Pride for your country.  And I think it is really cool.

I pray and trust that God will put the leader in place that this country needs.  

November 4th will surely be interesting, but I am excited to see how America votes.  And as for me, I am excited to vote because I am finally registered!!  GO ME!

As for me, I am off to sleep, because Fall Break is officially over and I have to wake up at the crack of dawn for swimming class.  OH MERCY!

myrtle beach

So I am on fall break officially since it is Monday--technically.  I am so glad for a break.  I decided to take Monday off completely for Carly rejuvenation, then Tuesday, my other supposed day off, I have to do homework and work.  But I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow.  I had a fun Saturday though.  Hunter and I decided we wanted to get away for a day and since we aren't married and staying somewhere over night is not an option, we decided on Myrtle Beach.  It was a lot of fun.  We basically went shopping all day.  We started out at the Tanger Outlets...yes, I know we have one here, but we are lacking a few key stores so it was fun.  We explored Polo, Puma, and many other stores.  Then we went to the nicest mall ever.  Kind of.  And did a little more shopping.  After that we spent time and walked around Broadway at the Beach.  It was kind of a bummer because it rained literally ALL DAY but we didn't care too much.  My hair did though, but that's another story for another blog.  I found my brother the coolest earliest Christmas present ever and I am really excited.  He is obsessed with the Florida Gators, which has rubbed off on me and I am a bit obsessed as well.  Mainly because Tim Tebow is the MAN! (besides Hunter)  So I found my brother some GATOR HOT SAUCE!!  How cool is that to add to the collection?  After that, we ate at this place called Captain George's Seafood Buffet (the same place Chapels reception was for the wedding) and ate TONS of food.  I don't really do buffets much justice but Hunter can knock out a whole buffet and a half.  And they had 23 home made desserts.  It was so good but so bad all at once.  We had a fun day and got gas in Georgetown for 2.79!! How awesome is that?

Today was also Celebration Sunday at church and it felt really good to be back on the same grounds the big church used to be, and to be gathered with the entire congregation at one time!! 

Now tomorrow is going to be good.  Do a little cleaning, a little R&R, ya know.

byeeee.
