BAMA BOUND!

I am now officially BAMA bound! I got my acceptance letter yesterday, a very exciting moment for me I might add! My family and I went and ate at Mexican Connection, and mom just casually says "Oh you got some mail today". I figured it was some more info on the school or something, but when we got back home i saw four envelopes with my name on them, three from Alabama and one from Troy. Yay for being accepted to both colleges that I applied to!
So Brook and I are going up to Tuscaloosa to look at houses next weekend, and I can't wait! It still hasn't really sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will when we go house shopping!
Aaron's little brothers surgery went well, he came home two days after and is doing fine, he's very happy to be home, and we are all happy he's back!
Classes are going pretty good. I made a 96 on a Music Appreciation test, a big approvement from my last one that was a 70, and an 80 on my online Pshchology class test.

Never let me go

I just love music, a good song can completely change my day, and I must say I love Matt Nathanson's voice. It is amazing and calming, you should give him a listen, I recommend Come on Get Higher and Car Crash, they're both really good.
So I had a Music Appreciation test today, and I think I did pretty good. I actually studied, (I figure if I want to go to Alabama I need to actually buckle down and focus on school work) and I understood pretty much everything on the test. Speaking of Alabama, I've been looking at houses and apartments up there and I'm extremely excited to go up there at the end of this month and figure out where I'm going to be living!
I feel a little scattered, there are so many things going on at once, I can barely keep up with it all! I'm going up to Birmingham with Aaron and his sister Wednesday for their little brother's surgery, and I pray everything goes well! I got a new job last Thursday with H&R Block as a marketing representative, which is awesome because I'm majoring in marketing and I get to work with Brook, and there's never a dull moment when she's involved!

Just to see what people see

Let me just start by saying I live an amazingly blessed life. This past week has been crazy and so many big things have happened!
I have lived in a small town pretty much my whole life. I graduated with 48 people, and I had known most of them since I was 6 years old. After I graduated I decided to go to a community college that's only 15 minutes away, and is also small. I was planning to transfer this fall to Troy University, but this week I decided I want something different. I applied to the university of Alabama, which is something I've never even considered doing. I feel like I need something different, I want to go somewhere that is big! I want to get out of my small town, because I know eventually I will move back to this area. Troy is not completely out of the picture yet though, I'm still considering all of my options.

Last night was homecoming, and it was way better than I thought it would be. I ended up borrowing a suit from my friend Malory, and even though she is at least 5 inches taller than I am, it fit perfectly. After getting ready, Aaron and I went up to the school, and stood around mingling with the Alumni and talking to the other nominees. Brook came by between her classes and saw us too! After the game, and finding out I was part of the Homecoming Court, we went out to the tent for the concert and met the LoCash Cowboys, and then went to eat at Mellow Mushroom (it's a tradition) with Ali and Justin. All in all I think it was a pretty great night, full of surprises, fun and friends. I'll most likely add more pictures as I get them, these are pretty much the only ones I have for now.
