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.

My Auburn Marching Band Obsession

Before I even came to Auburn, I had a slight love affair with marching bands. Since being at Auburn, it has become my obsession. 

The band comes on the field during the pre-game, and I get beyond excited every time. They have an insane pump up video and their pre-game performance leaves me speechless. To sum up my obsession:  I want them to perform at my wedding...

This is my face when the band takes the field...

The "Drum Major" is the head of the marching band. Three of them walk out of the tunnel onto the field while the band video is playing on the jumbo-tron, spinning their septors. When the video stops, the Drum majors start to spin their septors faster. Suddenly they freeze, and throw them into the field. 

It is my favorite part of the entire game. The stadium goes nuts, and I cry. 

 And then he does the classic Drum major scissor run. 

So, one can image how my life changed when my Mom and I were at the Tiger Walk, and who ran by? The drum major.  

Some Saturday Highlights

Some pictures from my favorite games this fall! 

Auburn vs. Georgia

This was from Homecoming weekend. The PR Department and I planned a Parents Tailgate/brunch before the game in our chapter room. The parents loved it and we had an amazing turnout. Missed you Mom, but I know you were really sick! 

 The "Tiger Walk" is an Auburn tradition. The entire town/university line up to watch our players walk into the stadium.  They players and coaches scream, jump, & yell all the way down the street, high-fiving fans & getting everyone pumped & excited. 

When Mom visited, we got front row! And it was the best moment of my life because... 

 We were that close to Cam Newton, and Mom touched (or physically assaulted) Cam Newton!

My 20th Birthday!

My sorority sisters planned an amazing 20th birthday weekend for me. We celebrated downtown with lots of pink and champagne! 

 They sang happy birthday to me at midnight- and I cried! 

My friends are the best!
