Fun, Fall, and Frenzy :)

My life has pretty much been non-stop busy for the last two months (hence no updates since the end of August). I have a few minutes, so here goes the update:

Work:
As mentioned in the last update, I am teaching 4 year old kindergarten. I love my job at times, and sometimes I feel like I'm in over my head. I completed a week and a day of training and now I have about a million things that have to get done to my room. Of course, any time you learn something new you are expected to implement it at work. Seems to me that everyone is more worried about the legalities and the room environment than actually getting these kids TAUGHT something!? Hehe, oh well.... what has to be done will be done. Other than that, I love all of the people I work with, I feel very blessed that God put me in a work enviroment with such patient, kind, helpful people!

Clemson:
WAHOO! Fall is such a fun time for any clemson fan... FOOTBALL season is here! Our record as of today stands at 5-1, and we are currently the #12 team in the nation-- GO TIGERS! I have gotten the chance to go to 2 away games so far this year. I had a blast at Florida State... the tigers won a very close game, and I've NEVER seen the fans so jacked up before, it was loud and SO much fun. Just yesterday I went to Wiston Salem to watch the boys play Wake Forest. It was certainly a different atmosphere than Clemson or FSU because Wake's stadium is so small. For 3 quarters Clemson quite simply got their tails whipped. My family and I were just about ready to leave at the end of the 3rd quarter when the score was 17-3 Wake. We decided to stay, however, and I sure am glad we did. In the fourth quarter the tigers rallied by blocking and returning a field goal attempt for a TD, intercepting a pass that lead to a TD, and C.J. Spiller showing his speed with a 72 yard run for a TD. The 24-point 4th quarter led to a final score of 27-17 Clemson win! Wahoooo!!! We have Temple this Thursday (let's hope we blow that one away as we should) and then what looks like it's going to be a battle with Georgia Tech in a couple weeks. Here's hoping the Tigers keep playing well and pull the big games out!

One year:
David and I celebrated our anniversary of dating this weekend :) We exchanged gifts and went out for a very nice dinner downtown at Soby's. While we were at Soby's I noticed a lot of girls from my high school working and eating there. It was good to catch up with one of them that was our waitress. After Soby's we spent some time walking around downtown and relaxing by the river, and then got icecream (which I hate, by the way... ha, riiiight) at Spill The Beans. I had a wonderful time, it was the most fun :)! To David- thank you so much for everything! I love you very much baby.. happy anniversary!
