It's a Teal World... I'm just living in it

Hello Friends... yes another month has gone by without me posting. I'm terrible but this time I can promise it has EVERYTHING to do with a little thing I like to call Homecoming here at UNCW that starts TONIGHT. We will be having a free late night breakfast served by awesome members of the UNCW faculty and staff. There is so much I am looking forward to so much about Homecoming specifically the Tuesday night Black Light Party where ACE will annouce our SPRING SHOW!!

Life has also been filled with some great visitors over the last month: Miss Jermisha Dotson (shout out on your *new job*), The JMU Crew last weekend (yes, as always Joe proposed)

I let him down easy, by throwing the ring and exclaiming that I'm not Irish so I had no desire to have a claddagh ring. I'm heinous. My mom and spunky also came to visit this weekend. It was nice to have a relaxing weekend with mom and very much needed.


A girls rule update, we are currently 5-1. Yes, we did lose last weekend unformatunately by one point. We just weren't on our A game and paid for it. I think it was a good boost for us going into this week. We won yesterday 19-12. I was excited JoJo got to see a win. We have two games left before the play offs. We are the number 1 seed though. Just sayin. Girls still rule!

Tomorrow is Valentines Day. I do not have ill feelings toward Valentines Day. Clearly I'm Hallmarks #1 customer so I'm not offended. To be honest Valentines day is also the birthday of my best friend Katelyn Grant so that is the first thing that comes to mind on 2/14. My thoughts are this: use tomorrow as a day to remember that there are so many people who love you and who you love. Make sure they know it not only tomorrow but everyday.  I am so glad one of my valetines let me know... I still keep it :)

The truth is it's not about what you do or how much money you spend on Valentines Day it's about who you spend it with. Whether it be in the movie theater with your girlfriends seeing a trashy girl movie (hello Valentines day 2010), interviewing for grad school (vday 2008), out to dinner with your significant other in a restaurant you've both been dying to try, at basketball practice with 9 year olds (vday 2011) or drinking beer and eating frozen pizza while watching netflicks on a Crate and Barrel couch I challenge you to try to make Valentines Day another day when you appreciate those you love. Don't eat too much candy and try to enjoy the day for it is. And if you don't believe in any of that fear not, it's only one day.
