Tornados Stink

Tonight we had our last chapter for the year!! It was also senior chapter, so the senior pledge class did a bunch of special things, told funny stories, and passed down lots of awards. Wanna know which award I got??? I bet you can pretty much guess without me even saying....... "SOCIAL NETWORK QUEEN!" I feel like now I actually have a real reason to blog, tweet, and facebook (I guess it's a verb now?). Gotta live up to my title!! Thanks Maggie McKinney for passing it down!! Oh, and congrats Allison on your engagement!!! I'm so happy for you, and I know you couldn't be more excited!! Yay squirrels!

In other news, I'm pretty sure this is the worst weather day Alabama has ever experienced.... At least since I've been alive. Tuscaloosa, Cullman, Birmingham, Dadeville, and I'm sure many other towns have been devastated by tornados within the past few hours. I'm just praying for all the people who have lost loved ones (the last death count I heard was 40) and who have lost their houses, cars, pets, properties, favorite restaurants (for real, that's sad), and whatever else those dumb things destroyed. It's hard to fathom that this really happened.

I hope and pray that all my Tuscaloosa friends are okay! I know cell phone service hasn't been the best, and the power is definitely out.

Let me quote the Toomer's Oaks' twitter real quick: "Prayers with everyone in Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and beyond. We're all in the same family tree tonight."

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

Fading....

I have one more test to take, and I literally, cannot, for the life of me, focus. (This excludes the 4 exams I have next week). Calculus III, I'm hating you right now.

I tried the library..... Didn't open my notebook until I was there for an hour and a half. Then I moved to a different spot... And worked one problem. Now I'm back in my room and it's 12:30. My backpack is still zipped. And of course, I resort to blogging: My go-to for procrastinating.

Where has my motivation gone?? Hmmmm... It's fading. Tomorrow might not be the best day for me!

Actually, let's be real. It'll be a great day no matter what. If I fail this test, it's okay because at least I'm done with class for the year! Why not be positive, right?? :)

I am declaring right now, to all of you followers, that I WILL study, and study a lot, and study everyday, for my exams. Don't let me forget. 

9 days of sophomore year left......... Wow.

Almost Easter :)

I'm about to head to my last Biology lab, then hit the road for Montgomery!

I am just so excited about Easter. I love everything about this wonderful holiday. The colors, the baby chicks and bunnies, the great meal on Sunday, and of course the fact that Jesus defied all odds and rose from the grave!!

I remember buying these precious things when I was younger from Pier 1. Anybody know if they still have them?? I was obsessed!

How cute is this little thing?

Here's one of my favorite Easter/everyday songs... I know you've all heard it. 

Ohhhhhhh the Memories!

As I was looking for one single picture from graduation to put in my last post, I came across about 10 albums from senior year at good ol' Trinity. I couldn't help but dedicate a whole post about how great senior year was. Here ya go.....

[This one, more than all the rest, makes me want to cry the most. It seems like just yesterday that my class graduated... And in a few weeks my brother's going to be getting his own diploma. Will and Weston, I can't believe you are this old!! Time flies.]

Besides the people I see all the time, I miss you all so so so much! I love each one of you and can't wait to see you again! And I guess you can go ahead and say it, this is such a typical Sally thing to do... Whatever. :) I loved my high school years, Trinity Presbyterian School, and all of the sweet friends I got to spend 7 hours a day with.

Guess I'll go map out my future now.... 

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'" Jeremiah 29:11

Lots of Stuff

ONCE AGAIN, I go weeks without blogging. I hate when I do this because things just get piled up and I don't have the patience to mention everything that has happened since the last post in my blog... SOOOO, I think I'll just hit the basics!

Warning: Sorry for going crazy on the amount of pictures here. Actually, I'm really not.

1. I made another trip to Samford.

Rodeo was last weekend, and for some reason I had no interest in going. I really had a blast last year but I just wasn't feelin' it this year. So, I went to Birmingham instead! Olivia had her semi-formal on Saturday night. I, being the obsessive-picture-taker that I am, was her photographer for the evening. I had fun hanging out with all my new Samford friends, of course!

[Olivia and Dillon]

[Montgomery kids.. Catherine Gayle, Jeffrey, Olivia, Goodson, and Me]

[Their group!]

[Goodson and I]

2. ALPHA GAM WON GREEK SING!!

I'm not about to pretend like I had anything to do with the awesome performance or the win, but for real, I'm so happy for everybody!! All the girls did an amazing job and definitely deserved the win for the 3rd year in a row! Go squirrels.

[Knockouts!]

3. I had the busiest week EVER last week.

Tests and meetings took over my week, but I made it through one step at a time. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad. This week I literally have NOTHING to do. Not one test, quiz, meeting... nothing. I'm pumped.

4. I WENT TO MY FIRST BRAVES GAME!!

Weeelllllll.. Kinda. I went to Turner Field, but the game was rained out so I didn't get to see any baseball. Oh well. It was a date function so it was fun being with friends for many, many hours!! I hope I get to go to one for real this summer. I'm really not sure why I've never been. Hmm.

[Wes, Annie, Calvin, and I]

[You owe me a real Braves game!]

[Virg and Goodson hanging out on the bus!]

5. Saturday was a blast!

Jessica, Olivia, Estes, our friend Calvin from Samford, and I went to 280 Boogie in Waverly for the afternoon. We met up with some other folks (that's my least favorite word, if anybody was wondering) when we got there. 280 Boogie is an arts and crafts/music festival that is held in the tiny, tiny town of Waverly, AL every year. I seriously had so much fun sitting on blankets with my friends and listening to great music all day.

[Perfect day for this kind of thing!]

[Olivia, Jessica, Estes, and Calvin]

[Calvin and Estes.. Go Bulldogs and Sigma Chi]

[Livvv]

[Love yall so much!]

[Jordan, Brooks, and Olivia!]

[Precious]

[Yay TPS.. Hanson, Olivia, Cam and me]

[Me and Cammyyy]

6. Sophomore year is almost over.. What the heck.

Tonight, I went on a walk around campus with my friends Brook and Erin. We started thinking about how our second year of college is coming to a close, and how in only two more years, we're all going to be parting ways and possibly never seeing each other again. Not us three specifically, but all of the great people we have formed relationships with here at Auburn. Gosh, I'm so blessed to be at this college. I seriously love everyone here and am so thankful for the Lord letting me be a part of this experience. I don't want it all to end!! 

[I was about to put a picture from graduation up, but in the process, I discovered that I miss senior year of high school so much. Sooooooooo, that led to the idea of another blog post. Coming soon: I MISS SENIOR YEAR!]

Well, that sums up the high-points! I'm going to try to be productive this week since I have nothing big going on. Maybe start packing up my room to move home (wow, that's sad), or possibly even start studying for exams.............. Yeah, doubt that will happen.
