first away game

So, Daniel and I went to Tuscaloosa this weekend with friends from church for our second annual MSU-AL game road trip/weekend extraordinaire. This was my first MSU away game to ever attend. I have to say that the Alabama fans in all of the stores we went in were very polite; I didn't even get heckled one time! Not even a comment on the large MISSISSIPPI STATE on my sweatshirt. Nothing. Actually, sitting here thinking about it, I am almost disappointed. I was kinda ready for the heckling. I'm sure I would have had a good comeback. I guess I kinda enjoy a little friendly competitive confrontation every now and then.

Anyway, we had a really good weekend, and I am so proud of our friends for being so brave and leaving their little one at home. I am impressed and think that it's awesome that they got to take some time for themselves and enjoy a little weekend away. I'm sure it takes a lot of trust in God and trust in the caregiver that your little one will be alright. I hope I am able to do the same one day (hopefully years from now) when Daniel and I have a little whippersnapper (or more than likely a gigantic whippersnapper).

Why am I blogging right now? Because I am completely over studying for this interview tomorrow. I am over it! I have pretty much resigned myself that I know all that I can possibly know, and no matter what they still know way more and could easily trip me up with a question.

I'm sure I'll be majorly freaking out tomorrow morning...

5 things...

5 things I was doing 10 years ago
okay so ten years ago I was 15 years old.
1. attending Manchester Academy in the ninth grade; huge crush on Joe Gilder that I was under the illusion that I hid with the skill of Houdini. I believe this was also the year that I took a bite of brownie and got a mouthful of hair with it. This led to me running to the back of the cafeteria in shame Napoleon Dynamite style.
2. learning how to drive in driver's ed. I hated it. I preferred to read on the way to school while Mom drove. I am officially the biggest dork ever.
3. making a 25 on my ACT. boo ya
4. still sporting bangs and probably walking shorts. jealous?
5. in my third year as Holly Bluff Baptist Church pianist extraordinaire.
