1.) Fostering puppies
Chance, Macy, Wendy, Dallas, Lily, Sophie, Hudson, Ally,
Watson, Piglet, Diesel and Socks made my semester. I love puppies. As anyone
who follows me on facebook, twitter or instagram knows, I had the opportunity
to foster these 12 puppies for the Oxford Lafayette Humane Society this
semester and I genuinely loved every single second of it! Letting them go is
always hard, but knowing they have a good home makes it all worthwhile!
2.) College Corps
College Corps is a minimum requirement 300-hour volunteer
program that has recently consumed my life! I work at Della Davidson Elementary
School in Oxford tutoring 4th and 5th grade math and I
really do enjoy it. Although it is challenging sometimes, I have recently
become more interested in public health and school nutrition intervention so I
am confident that it is worth putting so much time into working with these
kids.
3.) Living room makeover
My lovely uncle decided Lauren and I should feel at home in
our new cottage and let us give our living room a makeover! We had so much fun
visiting tons of furniture stores, sitting on what felt like thousands of
couches and finally putting everything together. We love it!
4.) First Ole Miss football season
It wasn't my first experience in the Grove, but I sure do
love Ole Miss football game days! It helped that we were much better this year
than in the past! Cody got to come to the Egg Bowl with me over Thanksgiving
Break and we won!! Hotty Toddy!
5.) Parents weekend (Aug. 30-Sept. 3)
Shortly after the semester started, I made my way to Colorado with Cody's family for my 3rd Parents' Weekend. We got to spend our 5 year anniversary together, I went to some of his classes, we tailgated before the football game, celebrated Blake's 22nd birthday with a cookout, drove to the mountains and went fly fishing. His family rented a house and as always, it was a really good time.

6.) Hanging out with Landon
7.) Weekends at the farm
What is really nice about Ole Miss is that it is about 30
minutes from the farm, where you can find most of my family every weekend in
the fall! My favorite things were jumping on hay bales with Lauren, the 3rd
annual shootout, riding fourwheelers, deer hunting with Cody, shooting my new
.38 special and letting my puppies run free!
8.) Colorado for Cody's birthday (October 5-8)
Cody's friends at USAFA paid for my flight to come spend his
birthday weekend with them in Colorado. Blake picked me up from the airport and
took me to Cody's room to surprise him. We somehow kept it from him for a few
months, which is a miracle in it of itself. We had a really fun weekend camping
and fishing. They even wakeboarded in 30 degree weather…crazies.
9.) My 21st birthday
The title says it all.
10.) Trip to Mississippi State (October 19-21)
I went to visit Kellerhouse and EK on a football weekend for
my first time back to State since I went to school there….April 27, 2011. It
was good to see old friends and we had fun in the cotton district and
tailgating…sooo much catching up to do! I'm not going to hate but I am proud to
be a Rebel!
11.) Decorating the cottage
As soon as Lauren and I moved into our house, we couldn't
wait for a holiday to come so we could decorate. My mom has a box of things for
us for every holiday and we deck the cottage out! It has been so much fun
living with Lauren and decorating our little cottage!
12.) Made it on MTV's: Pranked
13.) Trip to Indiana (November 1-4)
Lauren and I road tripped for 12 hours across 5 states and
through many corn fields to visit Alex at Indiana University! We enjoyed seeing
Bloomington, staying in her sorority house, seeing what the frats were all
about and playing in the mud at the football game. We picked up a couple of new
favorite songs and treated ourselves to Lambert's on the way home! We're hoping
to go back soon!
14.) Trip to Birmingham (December 1-2)
Lauren, Adam and I headed out to Birmingham for the weekend
to surprise Sarah for her 21st birthday! We decorated her apartment,
pop, locked and dropped it, and somehow missed out on krispy kreme…what a
shame.
15.) New Years Eve
