Blue Angels

This is a picture of me and my wonderful Daddy many many years ago at a Blue Angels air show. My dad loves air planes and I can remember going to some of their shows when I was little. Saturday some friends I had the opportunity to meet my family in Meridian for another air show. It was SO much fun. Here is a picture from Saturday:

This is a picture of Hayes and papaw Saturday. It is much like the one of me when I was little. Going to Blue Angels air shows are great memories that I will always have with daddy. I hope that Hayes and Grayson will continue to have those same memories that I did as a child.

Papaw Hammack

Wednesday was the mark of one year since my wonderful papaw pasted away. Papaw Hammack meant SO much to me. He was always loving, caring, kind, and had a wonderful since of humor. He would of done anything for his family and was always so content in life. My papaw had great faith in jesus Christ and was such a good example for his grand-kids. Some teenagers never get to even meet their grandparents, much less live in the same town as them. I was so fortunate to be blessed enough to have all four of my grandparents still living and able up until my senior year. I cherish all of the time I got to spend with him and I thank God for it. My papaw was one of my biggest fans in any sports that I played or other achievements I had. He gave me the best gift that anyone could give another person......he believed in me. He was the best papaw that anyone could ever ask for!

Being in college has taught me many things and none of it has come from my teachers! Some of the things that I have learned are:
~Not to wait 30 minutes before an exam to study (this is not high school)
~Learn the channel of your favorite TV show BEFORE the tv show starts.......this is trouble
~Moving into college automatically reverts you to age 4....seriously. since I have been here my diet has consisted of ice cream and chik-fil-la. I regularly color and play with chalk. I have played "the floor is lava" more than once. naps are a regular, daily, thing. and it is perfeectly exceptable to skip to class
~ 1 am is the new 9 pm
~A dorm room is like a clown car. you might think "no way will all this stuff fit in this tiny room" -but it will. you will find ways to store things that you never dreamed of.
~Shirts that you thought were too big for you, actually seem to fit you quite perfectly.
~The more I see uggs with nike shorts the more they annoy me
~Experiences are worth more than material things
~Home cooked meals taste a lot better than I remembered as a child
~It only takes a couple of months for your new friends to feel like best friends
~The best discussions are to be had outside the classroom
~Me + Hilarious friends + Quiet library = bad
~Time management is essential
~Dora The Explorer fruit snacks are the greatest things ever
~Breakfast food is the best late night snack
~Road trips happen
~Avoid early morning classes like the plague
~Papers are best written the night before they are due
~Its the little things that mean the most

So Blessed

Tonight I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Kessler, Lelah, and Mary Katherine. The more time I spend with them the more I realized just how blessed I am to have such fun, loving, caring, and goofy friends. We can be SO sarcastic with each other and sometimes rude but we also have the best heart-to-heart ever. We all come from different backgrounds and ways of life but the more we talk to more we realize what we have in common. Joshua Harris wrote, "Every relationship for a Christian is an opportunity to love another person as God has loved us.” That is so true. We may joke around a lot but we care so much about each other and when leave MSU in a few years i know that we will take a part of each other with us where ever we end up in life. God has given me the opportunity to get to know some amazing people over the years and he continues to bless me daily with wonderful relationships that get me through each day. I cherish every friendship that I have or have had in the past. So many memories and lessons learned that I will always carry with me!

Nicholas Sparks = Amazing!

There are some guys who grow up thinking they will "settle down" sometime in the near future, and there are some guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the right person. The former bore me mainly because they are pathetic; the latter quite frankly are hard to find. But it is the serious ones that I am interested in and it takes time to find a guy like that whom I am equally interested in. I mean if the relationship can not survive long term then why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term? ~ The Last Song

I Miss these cute little boys!

Friendship

Friends. A simple word isn't it? its uttered everyday to almost every person imagineable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh with and talk to. Now I know that friends are just that. They are the people that touch your hearts. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They do not judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. you all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best time of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love, and my life!
