i had the awesome opportunity presented to me so unexpectedly this weekend...and you better believe i jumped on it!  my boss at work asked me if i wanted a pass to be on the field for the football game saturday...DUH!  saturday came and i was nervous/excited.  i walked onto the field for the first time and i felt so small, not to mention my camera was a fourth the size of everyone else's.  todd game me the pass and the wrist band, also complete with a bright yellow arm band and i was off...off to who knows where!  i was so over-welmed and i felt as if i was in a dream.  i looked up into the stands and i hear all my friends screaming my name and waving.  i was so serial and so SWEET!  i was major cam creepin the whole time, and im pretty sure he saw me too, dont care.  :)  it was truly an unforgettable experience and  i am so blessed to have great opportunities.  i even got to meet jay jacobs and tim hudson.  mrs. chizek wasnt bad herself, and i kept to myself how obsessed i am with her husband.  so, bucket list item #1 comes falling down as i took pictures of auburn.  was an incredible day.  those pictures will make my day every time i look at them!

check, check, and check.

i feel as if someone just shared the gospel with me.  i have discovered stumbleupon.com. and it is rocking my world...slash demolishing my school career.  today, i have learned how to make roses out of maple leaves and how to make chicken soup for under 5 dollars.  it is changing my life as we speak.  and you as a fellow blogger should be excited too, ill post my new findings because they are SWEET!  since being introduced to this new and exciting world in the internet, it has inspired me to be adventurous!  i have a few goals, bear with me here.  i have a few goals i WANT accomplish before the end of the semester, but lets be for real here, it wont happen.  im going to make a list of my top 10 things i want/ need to accomplish and ill blog about each one as it is checked off.  some of these things will be highly aspired, others just need to happen and will be lame.  but lets be real, even the most lame and easy things i can make difficult.  its kinda like my mini bucket list...for the semester.  this should make for some interesting adventures as well as some interesting posts.  drum roll please...


1. make a full course meal and serve it to people who have been in constant prayer  
   about actually eating this dinner.
2. read 2 books not for school (laugh all you want but this is a big deal for me)
3. drive to atlanta and study a whole day by myself and make a new friend.  to 
   prove this happened, but a hot dog at the varsity and post the picture you took 
   with it by yourself in the blog.  (look forward to this) 
4. i really wan to bake our mailman some cookies.  i dont know why, but its been 
   on my bucket list since i was 10.
5. one week go to all my classes. (highly unlikely, but it could happen)
6. hang out with at least one of my younglife girls each day for a week, no 
   excuses from either side.  (this shouldnt be on a list, but if its not, it just 
   wont happen.)
7. take pictures all around campus...documenting the changing seasons and spirit 
   thats alive on the plains.
8. stop at Tuttie Frutti and get something on the way home from class one day.
9. hang the windows in the den
10.write a letter and mail to all my kampers


So, here i go.  i have written this list down and im going to do every single thing on it if it kills me.  i know these are all really lame things to some people, but they are important to me.  i feel like putting this list on my blog gives me some sort of accountability.  and before the and of the year i will do every one.  none of these things are necessities, but all of them are important and im trying this new thing to stop and take advantage of the sweeter moments in life and appreciate everything i have been given, big and small.  this is gunna be a sweet ride!
