Happy Halloween!!!

Josh's pumpkin! 

He drew this himself. How talented he is. 

I did now draw this. I used the book from walmart that comes with all the carving tools.

It was called "Coal in Boot".

Get it?

Coal?!

It's my Coal Kitty!!!

and WAR EAGLE! :)

Dumb Chemistry.

I hated chemistry. I hated organic chemistry more than regular chemistry. I hated biochemistry more than organic chemistry. I hated physics as well. I did like physics more than organic chemistry though.

Auburn's Chemistry department had the hardest teachers... ever. Physics department too. The average on most of our physics exams was 50. One time it was a 40-something. I made a 60-something on that test. I'm not gonna lie... I did bad in physics.

Chemistry was a little better. The average test grade was usually a 70. I did o.k. in chemistry. But I still hated it.

My point is...

Did you ever have a class that you absolutely HATED?! I always always always said "I am never going to use this stuff! Why do I have to take these ridiculously hard classes!?"

Now, today, I would like to say "Thank you Auburn University for making me take those ridiculously hard classes. Because today in Clinical Therapeutics, I understood Drug Calculations! So, thank you for make me learn how to convert Moles to grams... even though I don't have to do that... it's more like mcg to mg. I never thought I would see that annoying t-box, as I call it, again. I saw it today and I flew through those 10 problems. The class only got to number 3 and I felt accomplished!"

See... you never know when you may use something that you learn in school!

but... I really doubt I will ever need to know just how fast that ball rolls across the floor... or how fast the car goes down the hill in neutral... or when exactly the boy needs to jump off the branch to fall on the back of a horse running underneath it at a certain speed.

So, thank you Fundamentals of Chemistry. Physics, you are still pointless.

An Awesome Weekend

Friday Morning Josh and I set out for AUBURN!! I looooove Auburn. I missed it so.

We got there around 11:30 and met the girl that was selling me a student ticket.  Then We met up with my best friend, Anna, on campus and I  proceeded to go visit my two favorite professors and all of the project uplift leaders! We ate lunch with Anna at the Pita Pit and then proceeded to go get my little brother from school!

I am quite sure I have mentioned it before, but I know I have quite a few new readers so I'll mention it again! 

I got involved in Project Uplift when I was a Freshman. I picked out a little boy to be my 'little brother' and I have now been his big sister for 5 years. I have watched him grow and he is an absolutely amazing little boy!  I even got "Longest volunteering female' my senior year! When I went through training for the program... they prepared you for the worst. Kids that steal credit cards, try to remember your pin on your debit card, steal cars, shoplift, hit and punch, and an ongoing list of things. That didn't scare me away. I picked out Damon and he has been an ANGEL! He never did anything that I had to punish him for! He doesn't have any siblings, so that is why he was put into the program. Most kids are there because they lost a parent, have a tough time in school, or just need some guidance. I got lucky with my little 'scooter'.

So I surprised him at school and checked him out early! Josh and I took him over to TCBY where he got a strawberry smoothie and Josh and I got some ice cream. We hung out for a little bit and went and saw his mom at work! She's in her late 20's and she's really cool! We get along well and I love going to her work! She works at a daycare and those kids are hilarious! 

After we left there it had been a few hours since I picked Damon up and his dog needed to be let out so I took him back home. It was so good being able to hang out with him for a few hours. And he has gotten SO tall!! Here is a picture from this weekend. He's so precious!

We headed over to Anna's house, stopping to see her at work before we got there. We got a full tour of the small animal hospital! hehe! Josh wanted to see the large animal hospital... but I didn't really think Dr. Waguespac would be working! (He's the doctor that took care of Scout!). Josh and I decided to go get dinner while we waited for Anna to get off work. I got yumminess from Big Blue Bagel and Josh got yucky Taco Bell! JK! That day.... they had the BEST cinnamon twists I had ever had. 

After dinner, we hung out with Leslie and her boyfriend, Bradley, for an hour or so, then we went and hung out with my friend Kayla and her boyfriend, Clint, for an hour! We had a great time seeing everyone! :)

We headed to the house and Anna was just pulling up from work! She had a cake to bake so we all sat in the den/kitchen and watched her make the cake and talked about all sorts of things. We had a busy day ahead of us so we all went to bed!

Saturday, Anna being the awesome friend that she is dropped me Josh off on campus before she went to work. We got to Kayla and Clint's tailgate at about 10:00 AM. Shrimp, Potatoes, and Corn on the cobb awaited us! 

Cooked by Kayla's boy, Clint!

It was pretty good Cajun cookin'!

Me and Kayla!

and Joshua!

Josh and I decided we would go get in line for the game! The gates were going to open at 11:45 am for the 2:40 kickoff. We got to the gate at about 11:00 and there were already at least 1000 people in line. Yes, Auburn students are crazy about their Tigers!

We waited until 11:45, got into the stadium and scored some 45 yard line seats with Leslie and Bradley! Now the waiting part- 3 hours til kick off.....

There was plenty of entertainment with all the crazy people that were dressed up and plenty of time for pictures!

Me and Leslie!

Leslie and Bradley

One downfall of sitting in the student section is that you miss Tiger Walk!

But... we do get to watch it on the HD jumbotron! (First HD jumbotron in the SEC and second in the NCAA! pretty coooool!)

Aubie!

Cam Newton!!

The team praying around the AU in an empty stadium... except for the thousands of students.

Don't you think that just pumps them up for them to know that we are all there!! I just think that's awesome!

Then it magically fills up to the brim!!

The game was AWESOME! It was nonstop goodness. 

The opening video for the football players is what REALLY gets the student section going... you can watch it ">here!

Fitting song.. huh?  :)

I screamed more than I have ever screamed in my life and I jumped more than I have ever jumped in my life! It was so much fun! My voice is a little sore.. but me feet aren't! haha

Final Score... aaaamazing!

24-17

and Cam Newton cheering with the end zone sitters!

During the celebration! :)

After the game was over and all the celebration singing had ended we headed to Toomer's Corner with the other 87,000 people! It was packed!!

Anna was there!!! yaya!!

And my little Georgia Tech pullin' brother John came! Auburn shirt in tow!

And last, but definitely not least!!!

We were all ecstatic that Auburn won!!

WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!

After the Toomer's Corner celebration, Josh, John and I walked to visit some friends of ours alll the way up on the other side of campus. Then we walked alll the way down to the other side of campus to Momma G's!! MMMM!!!

We met up with Anna, got John to his car and headed to the house. We were exhausted!! 

I woke up the next morning and got a paper. Bitter sweet front page photo. I plan on framing it at some point. The game and season that led us to be #1 in the BCS Polls for the first time in Auburn History!!! It'll be cool in 30 years. :)

Before we left, I stopped by the bookstore and got some t- shirts. I also had stopped by Comer (ag building) on Friday and had bought some College of Ag t-shirts... so I scored 4 t shirts this weekend!

I got my last fill of Big Blue Bagel, while Josh got more Taco bell... haha!

Then we headed out!

I can't WAIT to go back! I can't believe I hadn't been back before now. Hopefully we'll get to go to the UGA game... and I will not support Josh's wearing red cause we allll know he's turning into an Auburn Tiger! Right now he's just a little cub!  ;) 

I would like to write a special note to Anna:

Anna, Thank you so much for having us over this weekend! You are such an amazing friend and I don't know how I will ever repay you! This was one of the best weekends I have ever had! Thank you again for helping it happen! I am so blessed to have you as one of my bestest friends! I can't wait to see you again! Hopefully it will be sooner than five ridiculous months! lol I love you friend!!!!!

War Eagle!!!!!

THE Georgia National Fair

THE best fair ever.

Want a list of things I ate over the 4 times I went there?!

(Please note: not all of these items were all eaten on the same day. These items are spread over 4 days and I did not eat 2 of one thing in one day... got it?!)

I should have taken pictures of everything! Oh well.

3 Gyros

2 Chocolate covered frozen bananas (with nuts)

1 Dippin' Dots... wait.. 2. (Both Mint Choc)

1 Chocolate covered Cheesecake (I didn't eat all of it.. in my defense! hah)

3 bags of cotton candy (ok maybe four- I lost count. it's my fav. and josh helped with all three!)

1 Fried Green Tomato Sandwich

1 Regular size corn-dog (they do have footlongs,ya know.)

1 Curly fry (actually 1/2)

1 Pina Colada (From Joe the Pineapple guy...)

I got away without eating Funnel Cake, Roasted corn, Giant turkey legs, Pizza, and so much more.

Speaking of Turkey legs... the people that work in those giant booths are hilarious!! Josh and I walked by and the black guy said 'Come on ova' hera! Get yo' turkey leg! You can chew chew chew!" Josh replied "I don't want no turkey leg!! I'll break my tooth tooth tooth!" Turkey guy says "Oh you ain't gon' break yo' tooth! You just gotta chew chew chew!" hahaha... ok maybe you had to be there, but it was hilarious!

Like I said, I went to the fair 4 glorious times. Didn't pay once to get in! :) That is an accomplishment.

I tried to take lots and lots of pictures my last day, but when it got down to it, I was so hot and didn't feel like taking pictures. So, I missed a lot of things- but I did get some with my cell.

I really wanted to ride the camel, but it was ridiculously expensive... as is everything at the fair. It's a dollar to look at a horse. It's a dollar to look at a cow. I can go in my front yard and see those!

Josh and I did watch 2 classes of the draft horse show. Was I in heaven, you ask? Oh, yes, I was. They are amazing horses. Notice their feet in the pictures. I wouldn't be able to trim those  clonkers on my own!

I did get to go to the petting zoo and see Jed the Giraffe! I loove giraffes. And he was too cute. That's where my cell came in handy!

They also have kangaroos, sea lions, zebras, and pigs. :) What's the fair without going to the pig shows?! Well, the smell really isn't worth it, but Josh and I did watch a of couple shows.

Overall, the fair was a success. I rode the claw and that was all I really cared about! I couldn't get Josh on the ferris wheel, so we watched the fireworks after the ski show on the grass! Definitely not in the splash zone though. They had a ski boat that was going crazy fast and had skiers splashing people (in 50 degree weather)... Josh and I thought that pond was seriously 4 feet deep. They must be pros! :)

Enjoy!

Me and my Joshua! 

I promise we're at the fair.. haha! I wish I would have gotten a picture of us in front of the lake/ferris wheel and what not. oh well! This one of us standing in the livestock area is just as good!

My mom could have slaughtered these cake people. Have you SEEN Elmo?!

Hypnosis show

Recall: This is what Joshua looked like the first time I ever saw him... tee hee hee!

I have ever clarified how big Opie is going to be?! Well this is how big.... ok, acutally bigger.

We should I know that I was going to track down where the horses were...

And did I!?! These are my Favorites!!

Ahuh ahuh. I want one so.

How could anyone not love those massive shoulders and those huge feet!!

This is a Belgian for those of you who do not know! 

I would really much rather have one of these  clydesdales! :)

Alligator anyone!?

and My fav...

My favorite kind of fireworks and my favorite person. All in the same picture! 

52 Weeks til the fair!

You know that saying...

"There's a Snake in My Boot!!!"  said by the little cowboy in Toy Story when you pull his string?!

Well... I have a new saying!

"There's a Snake Loose in My House!!"

Dear Minnie,

Please do NOT learn how to climb stairs while you are on the prowl.

I would rather you sleep in my brothers' beds than in mine. 

Thanks,

Your sister Molly
