You win some, You lose some

I am devastated. My Florida Gators have lost a game. We didn't just lose, we were crushed. The tide rolled over. It's hard to say but I think this year will not be the same. We lost a lot of great players last year and I am not seeing the same passion form the players on the field. Although I love my Gators, I am hoping that this loss was not the beginning of many more.

However, I did travel to Alabama to see the game and the trip was pretty darn fun. I went with a really great friend and then one of her friends. The road trip was 10 hours each way and we had a blast. We jammed to 90's classics like N'Sync, Spice Girls, and TLC. We chatted about everything, and we laughed A LOT.

When we made it to Birmingham we ate, drank, took pictures, got ice cream, and laughed A LOT.

We went to the game and we tailgated, visited the stadium, took pictures, and laughed A LOT.

Then we left early because the Alabama fans are relentless and I can only take so many foul remarks before I punch someone.

We will now continue scheduled blogging....

Sorry for the delay in posts. I have been busy. Very busy. Let's recap what has happened since August:

1. School started. It was fantastic and after the first introduction week I start to take over portions of the lessons. This was exciting and new and more time consuming then I had ever thought it could be. I went to school all day and then I went home and wrote lessons, practiced reading storybooks aloud, and tried to figure out how to help those students that weren't figuring it out. It was exhausting and I could not possibly give myself the 15 minutes needed to sit down and share the stories with you. Now that a month or so has past, I regret that choice because those stories were darn good and the details are quite as clear now.

2. A great friend married another great friend. The ceremony was beautiful and we had a fabulous time celebrating the beginning of their life together.

3. My friends and I had a Dexter themed dinner party to celebrate the new season. We made blood inspired dishes and it was awesome! Each dinner guest wore black because we were mourning the death of a character from the previous season. (No worries, I won't spoil the show if you aren't caught up.) I made a bag of blood spattered popcorn and served it in a super classy black trash bag. if you don't watch Dexter then please don't judge me. It makes sense if you do.

4. My sister turned 20! Holla!

That kinda catches us up to October. I am going to try to be better about making time for the blog. Seriously.
