Things to Look Forward to....

With all the dullness in my life outside of working at the Gap & subbing.... I do have some events to look forward to.

October 8 - Mom, Dad, Kyle, and I are going to see John's Berkeley Stags play in the homecoming game against Battery Creek.


November 15 - Me, Erin, Mom & Dad are going to see Lady Antebellum at the James Brown Arena :)Align Right



Well its not that many events as I was hoping to blog about but I felt that I needed to blog. Also, keep your fingers crossed for me and say an extra little prayer for me tomorrow as I have something going on that may head me in the direction of being more busy.... maybe a job?

i LOVE fall

I love fall! Fall time is one of my favorite times of year with all of the scents, colors changing, crisp cool air with a light weight jacket, football, and my list could go on and on. Just the other day mom brought us home a NEW....wait for it......CINNAMON BROOM!



My family is VERY football oriented. Between growing up with my Saturdays in the Fall time surrounded by Clemson Football, to growing up in a football town where everyone seems to be there on a Friday Night in North Augusta, it just has always been a football kind of fall. This year I have tons of teams to keep up with.


With John coaching the Berkeley Stags down in good ol' Moncks Corner, SC, my family has been following their scores, results, and even a game or two. We have a copy of his schedule on the fridge that daddy likes to mark with W or L. (He does this with North Augusta's too) I went down to the Berkeley/Summerville Game (Week 2) and my friend Brittany from Grad School went with me. First off we got lost, being from North Augusta, I assumed that the stadium was at the High School. Well I should of known better than that, I mean Rock Hill has a stadium shared between two schools, well after we asked a guy on a moped for directions, we were set. (actually he said follow me, after he went 10 mph, we passed and found it ourselves). This game was like being in Texas on Friday Night Lights. Both sides were PACKED to capacity, tons of team spirit, and summerville has a jumbo screen with live playbacks, introducing players, etc.






Now, once in every blue moon, does Clemson play a REALLY good out of conference team, well this year it was the Auburn Tigers at Auburn. I suggested to my family back in the Spring, that this would be an awesome game to go to since it is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience. So after figuring everyones travel arrangements, booking the hotel, we were off to Auburn, AL. We picked John at the ATL airport since he flew in from Charleston (He has meetings on Saturdays from 6am - ?). And then we were off! After parking in some college students front yard for $25, we were ready to tailgate.




The game was tons of fun regardless of the outcome in the end, and was a great experience overall!!!!








I hope this week goes by fast, as I am traveling to Charleston Friday to visit John. Varsity plays on Thursday night this week, so I can hang out with him on a Friday night, can't name the last time that has happened. Okay it happened in August, but still! I want to check out a Farm with a Cornmaize :)

10 interviews later....

Well hello everyone! I have LOTS to update you on but first I had to change my blog to make it more fall Festive! My Friend Casey got me in the mood even more for Fall when reading her posts.



Well right now, I am subbing all throughout Aiken County and still working at Gap/GapKids. I had the opprotunity to interview all over the state of South Carolina was not offered a job at any of them except for a Kindergarten Assistant in Berkeley County. I would of LOVED to be closer to John, but due to monetary concerns, time, and overall to maintain my lifestyle, it would not have been worth it.



We have seen each other everyweekend since he moved away, with either me traveling there or vice versa. We even met in Columbia two weekends ago to travel to good ol' Union for a wedding.



So now I am just a grown woman still on the road to the big kid life with 2 degrees and working PT at the Gap and subbing, hoping this will lead me into God's path that he has destined for me in teaching.
