never forget

via my Tumblr.

I was 6 when my dad came back from work when the sun was still shining one fall day. I remember trying to be the center of attention but my dad ignored me and watched the TV for hours. I knew something was wrong but it wasn't until years later I realized that the only America I really, fully understood and know was the post 9/11 America. The America that proved just how much we all cared for one another and stick together when tragedy strikes America.

Today I cried when Proud to Be an American came on the radio because I will never forget. I will never forget those people on the plane, losing their lives simply because the terrorists chose their plane. I cried for their families and them never getting to say a proper goodbye. I cried because I will never forget, and no American should.

you know you live in Pirate Nation when...

...your workplace orders custom plush cows to give tailgaters. I asked for one to put in my room because I mean they are just so cute and I'm a Pirate and ARGGGHHH.

We won our first game (and I survived the first game day at CFA). Too bad we got slaughtered today (45 to 10). One thing you can't accuse my family of being is a fair weather fans...we stick with our teams. Even if we really do stink.

Happy Saturday readers! Here's to college football.

We're back in these oh-so familiar hallways...

...and we're jumping for joy!

so gangster.

We're back to waking up early every Thursday and doling out goldfish to calm down little kiddos. I love it. Serving Jesus is awesome, readers.

"Snap goodbye, I'll see ya later...lemme see your alligators!"

That was me signing off like how we do at the end of music time. You're welcome.

welcome September {a new blog look}

Sorry for the silence on ye ol' blog, readers! You really are the best for sticking with me through my OHMYWORD I CANNOT STAND THE WAY MY BLOG LOOKS MUST CHANGE IT NOAWH moods I have sometimes. They are frequent, and fierce.

For example, this weekend SSA was kinda looking like a hot mess. BUT! Even though there's a couple things I'm in the process of perfecting, it's looking like fall over in this corner of the interwebs I like to claim as my own. Shout out to my blogging friend who is not just a blogging friend anymore but a best friend even though I never tackled hugged her Emily who did the whole no header thing for me. Thank you Em!

Bring on the sweaters, tea, and bonfires. Oh yeah and there's that thing called school but ya know, God's blessed me with an easy load this semester and I intend on enjoying the season instead of being buried in textbooks and not a pile of leaves.

Pea ess: My ever-fangirling (Hello new season of Doctor Who!) Tumblr was updated as well to look quite similar to my Blogspot. Check it out here!
