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
