Away Game at Clemson

A few of us spent this weekend at Holly's lake house in South Carolina. Her parents drove us over on their pontoon boat to the Clemson Stadium (it is on the same lake). It was an amazing gameday! 


Kels and me with our Auburn beers! 

                                       
It was a lot colder and windier than we expected! 

Me, Kelsey, Holly, and Kelly at Clemson 

In Clemson's stadium for our first loss in 18 consecutive wins :( 

Me with my two friends from studying abroad! So happy to see them

The next day we spent the morning out on the water. It was gorgeous! 


No More Dining Halls!

Now that I finally live in an apartment, I have a kitchen! I am very excited to work on my cooking. Aunt Sandra got me How To Cook Everything, and I can't wait to try different recipes! 

I cooked dinner for my roommates and they loved it! It was the Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Chicken recipe that my mom always makes for us at home. Hers is much better, of course! 


These are my favorite cookies...they are Paula Deen's Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies, and they are to die for (and you probably will due to the mass amounts of butter and sugar in them) 

The Banana Bread did not last very long! 

This is my new favorite dinner. I love Mexican food, but I hate the Mexican restaurants around here because they make me feel so unhealthy. So, I came up with this one night, trying to satisfy my craving while being healthy...I cooked the ground beef with taco seasoning, and then added my favorite elements of Mexican dishes, and mixed it all together: brown rice, corn, shredded cheese, guacamole, crushed up whole grain tortilla chips, and this is my favorite part... I love sour cream, and I found that plain Greek Yogurt tastes exactly the same! 
I call it Taco Salad. 

First Football Weekend!


 I have been looking forward to football season all year. There are no words for how much I love gameday and Auburn football. I made sure to come back for my senior year with a great collection of gameday dresses. 

Holly and me at the Utah State game!

Holiday Season in the North

Now I'm back home for a longg break! I have a ton I want to accomplish at home, including a ton of relaxing after the stress of finals!

 Picking out our Christmas Tree at church

Found one! 

Lori took me to the Rockettes as a Christmas present. The Rockettes have always been my favorite part of the holiday season. I still cry when they start to kick! Lori was an angel for taking me. 


Missing Courtney at Stanwich for a family dinner. 

Christmas Eve service at First Church. Our favorite!
