Truth

68 degrees one day, -3 degrees the next...  Spring, winter, spring, winter.  I think it is about time the Kansas weather considered taking some meds...

Oh the Places You Will Go

Brian and I love going on road trips and traveling.  I don't know how this started, but we like to take pictures at each state's welcome sign.  So far, we have 14 states.  For Christmas this year, I decided to finally start compiling the states that we do have in to a map.  This is what I have so far...  We don't have Missouri yet because Missouri places their signs in dangerous locations, and we also don't have Oklahoma because there were some serious storms/tornados when we drove through that state.  One of the interesting things that I have learned in this process is how small the southern states are compared to the western states.  The west is gigantic.  And the Texans don't lie.  Texas really is massive.  I had to print a 5 x 7 and a 4 x 6 to cover that state.  

Of course I am working on this rather than writing my thesis.  The joys of procrastination.  I always get so much done when avoiding other work. 

I definitely think Kansas has the funniest picture thus far because I now live in this state, and we all thought it was the most awful state (don't worry, I now appreciate Kansas much more; however, the drive is still miserable to get to Colorado).  The picture was taken on the return drive from spring break 2011.  It was a 25 hour drive from Vail, CO to Auburn, AL, and we left after a glorious day of skiing due to 6 inches of new powder.  So, we were all miserable having to leave.  You would be surprised at how long it takes to get from the western border of Kansas to the eastern border of Kansas.  A very long, long time on the same highway the entire long, long way.

I Believe in Auburn and Love It!

Just because I got a request for a blog post (sorry UGA friends :)), I am going to post on this.  The.most.amazing.ending.of.a.game.ever.  Brian and I were sitting in a bar, biting our nails, I am thinking the game is over, Brian is pumped up, and low and behold the UGA receivers tip it right into our hands.  And we scored.  Of the bar of ten people, Brian and I jump up and down, celebrating, and screaming.  I think we converted all the Jayhawk fans in the bar into Auburn fans.  So, in honor of that win... Here you go.  And, bring on Alabama!

War damn eagle... fly down that field!

National Geographic

This is maybe one of the coolest videos I have ever seen in my entire life.  Growing up, when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would answer "A National Geographic photographer."  Obviously, that didn't pan out.  But, some people get to do it, and they take awesome pictures and have awesome experiences.  For those of yall that haven't seen this video yet (click on the photo!), it is a must.  How cool is this?  To come face to face with an animal like this?  I think it is pretty incredible, and it always makes me thankful for such amazing creatures!

One Life Motto

I got this via text a couple months ago from my good friend Heather.  She knows me so well.  So, today, I present you with a motto that I live by...

The Southern Wind Sings Again

Back in the South, and I could not be happier.  I LOVE the accents, LOVE the food, and LOVE the wet blanket of humidity that envelops you.  Zac Brown Band has got it right... "The Southern Wind Sings Again an Island Lullaby."  I prefer to think that the song says, The Southern Wind Sings Again another Lullaby... we will stick with that because I of course thought those were the correct lyrics.  AND, just because I love my sister and am happy to be reunited with her (and excited to meet her boyfriend TOMORROW, I think she is excited for him to get here too.  I will be dancing on Wednesday when Brian gets here!!)...
