Reunited


What do you get when you have a blonde, a red head, and a brunette in the same place at the same time? A good time, duh!! 

 I have missed these two ladies so much!! Last night we were all able to meet up in our favorite town and have dinner together. It was so nice to be back in Oxford with my old roomies.
Dinner at Chilis with my faves!

After dinner, we went to Lauren's house to see little Harp Harp!! Emily and I couldn't wait to get our hands on our little niece. I have missed this little girl!

Auntie Emily and Auntie Haley love you Harper!

And your mama loves you just a little bit too!

Lauren and her future hubby Mr. Cooper. Look how dressed up he got to meet us for the first time! Such a sweetie. 

Okay, this is where this normal little blog post about having a fabulous time with my long, lost friends takes an interesting turn. Very interesting. Lauren's brother decided that Emily, the city girl, needed to get a little taste of the country life. So the obvious thing to do was take her for a little ride. I think you can tell from the picture below how much she enjoyed it! 

Poor Em!


I'm fairly sure that by this point and time we were all fearing for our lives just a tad. You see we were in a deserted field that was overgrown with kudzu and Adam and Lauren were telling us about how some murderer used to live in this school bus. Oy vey! 



After Emily recovered from the trauma of seeing the spooky bus in the empty field, we got ourselves into another scary sistuation. Apparently, someone had kicked the door in on this building and the law had to be called to investigate the situation. 




I had a wonderful time with Lauren and Emily last night! We went through so much together last year in our little apartment. We survived Senior year at Ole Miss together, Senior practicum, Dr. Holmes, student teaching, and finding jobs. I really don't know what I would've done without them last year. These girls were my rocks. We will forever be tied together because of all the wonderful memories we made together in Oxford. 

Let's take a trip down memory lane shall we.....

College=Finished....

What have I been up to lately you ask?

Oh, nothing really! Just graduated college. That's all.

Okay, in all seriousness, I am super excited to be a college graduate. I have loved my time at Ole Miss and I am every sad that it has come to an end. But, I also know that great things lie ahead and I look forward to those times. When I first enrolled at The University of Mississippi, I was so nervous. The upmost of my worries was that I would not have any friends and I was be so lonely. Well, God took care of that worry quick, fast, and in a hurry. The people in the pictures below have blessed my life in more ways than one. I really don't know how I would've survived the past two years with out them. I have become so close to these amazing people and I know we will always be friends.

Joey, thanks for being my little brother. I'm glad we have each other to keep in line.
Lp and Alicia, You two are such awesome people. Lauren, I love the way you never judge people. I admire you so much! You are a great friend. Alicia, I wish I could be as carefree as you!
Paxy, I consider you my brother. Thanks for making me smile, and letting me baby you!
Emily, I love you so much! We might fight a lot, but it's only because we love each other so much!
Shira Lani, thank you for being the sister I never had. You know me through and through and still love me!

This may sound corny, and if you aren't familiar with Ole Miss you won't understand. There is something about this campus that makes you fall in love with it. It must be something in the air, you can smell it, taste it, you can almost even feel it. Maybe my favorite quote can say it better than I can. "There is a valid distinction between The University and Ole Miss even though the separate threads are closely interwoven. The University is buildings, trees, and people. Ole Miss is mood, emotion and personality. Ole is physical, and the other is spiritual. One is tangible and the other intangible. The University is respected, but Ole Miss is loved. The University gives a diploma and regretfully terminated tenure, but one never graduated from Ole Miss."-Frank Everett

The following pictures are from dinner Friday night dinner at the Sizzler! It was so nice of Joey to plan that for us!




Graduation Saturday! The day I have waited for for a very long time!








This boy deserves a very special award for dealing with me for all these years! Some of my favorite memories from college were spent with the sweet boy! I don't think I would've made it without him. He encouraged me when I doubted myself and made me laugh when I was stressed! I love you Wills! Thanks for sticking with me!

It's Wednesday...blah...


Well boys and girls, instead of the Monday blues, I have the Wednesday blahs. I went to bed last night and woke up this morning feeling like crap. Therefore, I was unable to go to see my sweet children today. This also means that I has used my last sick day. Great! Hopefully I won't get sick again between now and May. I'll let you know how that works out.

The weather outside today describes my mood perfectly. It has been coming a light drizzle all morning. The sky is a light shade of gray, every now and then the sun graces us with it's presence. This may sound kind of depressing, but I love days like this. It's the perfect day for curling up in bed with a good book. It's also the perfect weather for sitting outside on your patio in a lounge chair, which I am currently doing. My friends Morrish, Kohn, Glasser, and Wong & Wong are keeping me company. I need to be learning lots about them since I have a huge test tonight and am not nearly as prepared as I should be.

Two more days!!! Spring Break please hurry!

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Haley
