don't give up...

i am well aware of the fact that my tiny blog has been dying a quick death as of late. i'm sorry for my lack of bloggage- i am slightly drowning in schoolwork while trying to leave just enough time for a little bit of fun too! the fall has been too speedy for my liking. i have so enjoyed being back in high school- although being on the other side of the desk has been an adjustment. my time observing has made me desire my own classroom so that things can be done MY way-- the RIGHT way! it is hard for me to believe that Thanksgiving is next week and that my semester is almost over.

in other news- have you heard about the football powerhouse that is Wake Forest University?!? can i tell you how excited i am about the success the team is having this year-- incredible to say the least. i am already making plans to be in Jacksonville on Dec 2 to watch the deacs play for the ACC crown-- oh what fun it will be! daddy and I went up to Winston for the annual family rivalry game- Clemson vs Wake. i enjoyed the first three quarters of the game despite the rainy, windy conditions. he found the fourth quarter much more to his liking. a bonus was that i got to visit with my sweet friend Jennie during halftime (when we were in good moods- not the case after the game!) Thanks to Lindsay (who had a vision for this picture) for the terrific photography skills!

Jennie and i are headed to Atlanta this weekend with Carrie, Gayle, and Charlotte for a fun girls weekend. i can't wait to spend time with my dear friends who live far away! i will certainly take pictures and post them when we return!

one last thing- and this is added purely for the comic value- i am now coach cara! i am coaching a high school girls basketball team at my church! how hysterical is that? anyone who had the misfortune of seeing me play in high school knows how badly they must have needed coaches!! i'll keep you posted on how the season progresses.
