UA v. Georgia State

I must say, it was so weird to have a game on Thursday. It just wasn't the same. Tuscaloosa was quiet, the stadium wasn't packed, and the quad was some what empty. But, we still had fun...and froze!
This game was especially special because one, my sister and cousin came!!!

and two, because John David dressed out AND got to play!!!

There he is, #31!! Entertainment of the night and please watch the YouTube video of Corbin.

Houndstooth Santa!

So proud of JD!!!

nashville

As promised, here are some pictures from the Nashville trip last weekend!
5 hour car ride, rockin' the back seat with Leah.
Found this great view of the city in a Belmont parking lot.
Group picture, a little prom-ish minus the dates and glitter dresses.
Meredith's b'day dinner . . . apparently it takes us three times to get a good one. . .
New Nashville friends!
Taylor Swifts loft . . .
Car ride back!

Highly recommend going to Nashville if you've never been! So much to do and it's just so pretty!

pumpkin carving

After a tough loss yesterday, friends and I decided to be festive and carve pumpkins!
I did a haunted house...you really can't tell what it is until you place a candle in it.
o
Katie and Meredith did an elephant which turned out real cute and Jordan carved an owl.
Now they're placed all aroud the apartment and look great!

All For the Hall

Tuesday night my sister and her roommate Jenny and I went to the All For the Hall benefit concert {benefitting the country music hall of fame} in Nashville hosted by the one and only Keith Urban!
It was such a great show for a great cause and the line up was fantastic...
Keith Urban, Vince Gill {no pictures turned out very good}, Martina McBride, Billy Currington, Miranda Lambert, Charley Pride, Alan Jackson, Allison Krauss, John Mayer, and Dolly Parton!
The performers were asked to play one of their songs and then play a song from someone they thought was a hero.


KEITH URBAN!
Even Nicole was there!

MIRANDA LAMBERT!

MARTINA MCBRIDE!

BILLY CURRINGTON!
Such a cutie!

CHARLEY PRIDE
ALAN JACKSON!
Soooo good!

ALLISON KRAUSS
She is stunning!
AND JOHN MAYER!!!!
I was unbelievably excited and he did wonderful...he just got off the plane from Milan literally right before he performed.

DOLLY PARTON
Never realized how funny she is!

Beat Florida

Yesterday was the UA v. Florida game and it was exciting. First off it's a big rival for many factors:
1. The game that broke Prothro's ankle back in 2005
2. Florida beat us in the SEC championship game in 2008
3. We beat Florida last year in the SEC championship
So we meet again and it was successful!
UA won 31-10!!
Here are a few snap shots of the game...

procrastination

Oh. my. goodness. I have never been one to really procratinate, but honestly I have been putting off this research paper for 3 weeks. It's due Wednesday, so fingers crossed and lots of prayers for motivation. Not that social media is a hard topic to discuss and research in 8 pages, but the lack of motivation is definitely there! I've done everything I could to not write this paper...church, cooked, laundry, bible study, dinner with friends, and planned a trip {TBA soon!}.
- - -
Tonight in bible study we had the privilage of catching up with an old friend, Will Miller. Remember him?! We climbed to the top of the silo freshman year...he's the one on the left.

Anyway, Will spent about a year travelling the world spreading the word of the Gospel and for the last 4 months he focused in the Phillipines. His stories are amazing. One thing that really stuck out in our discussion tonight was the saying that Will tells himself daily is...Get over yourself. Totally true! Right now I'm in this little bubble located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and I think I have the worst problems...writing an 8 page research paper...when really, all my focus should be on God and how I can help spread the word daily. Will is doing this cool thing where he either hears about the Gospel or he tells someone about the Gospel. He is at day 113 as of right now. I find this a great challenege. Anyone up to doing it with me?! Please feel free to share your stories throughout the process!

Visit Will's blog for more information on him and his amazing journey!
