twista makes the world go 'round.

mountain heritage day was a bust. --too many randos parking in my parking lots. too many beards [on females]. too many babies without clothes on [legit- every child under the age of two was wearing ONLY a diaper]. and wayyyyyy too much fiddle music. -- so, i decided to spend the day in the library instead. i watched the foosball men on game tracker, GO PACK!, and got a lot of homework done.
the highlight of my day/week/month came in a box from ILM. b-rad from the boo sent a package full of coozies from expo, the most amazing mix ever [from wu tang clan to the beach boys. heyyyy], and lots of love! i have the best big brother out there.

something new, something blue

to all the people giving me a hard time about the lack of posts: there's not much day-to-day excitement up in these parts. you take it when you can get it. i don't want you to bore you with my daily schedule so i save the blog for exciting times. last weekend was one of those times.

brooke sasser tied the knot! the whole weekend was amazing. it couldn't have been prettier! poor brooke, in the chaos of planning a wedding and starting a new job, forgot her something old and something borrowed. although, she had the old covered with the 9 "old friends" standing down below. brooke and i have been friends since 5th grade and have been through a lot over the years! i had a blast this weekend and get so excited to think of all of the special weekends like this one i have to look forward to with all of my ladies. congratulations brooke and mark! i love you both lots and hope for nothing but happiness in the many, many years to come!

this weekend: mountain heritage day. so, luckily you don't have to wait long to hear all about the beard/mustache contest, lumber contest, etc.

we want the band....clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

i haven't been to a clarkton school of discovery football game since i was 13. however, i felt like i was cheering on the blue devils tonight--only they were wearing purple and they were cats. tusculum took paws the cat's dignity back to tennessee in whatever a pioneer carries his/her things around in. honestly, i think the football team should "perform" at half time for the pride of the mountain marching band. their rendition of "lean with it, rock with it" made my night. --western, western, go western. goooooo cats!-- the crowd went crazy [even the tusculum fans. what exactly is a pioneer?] when the band made their entrance and the students immediately bolted after the second half started. i spent the entire half of the game trying to figure out exactly how they scored a touchdown in raleigh. the game was sub par, but again the view was beautiful! so glad danielle let me tag along with her! i've perfected the "ohhh you've probably never heard of it..." line when someone asks me where i'm from. however, i was introduced to a guy tonight who told me his parents live on gibson dairy road. you can run, but you can't hide.


on a much brighter football note-- GO PACK!

monday funday.

that's all, my friends. they've pulled the plug and put the cover on white lake for the winter. as i wrapped up my twenty second summer at the lake, i practiced my future profession [pier sitting] with my business partner [margaret carter]and made an abbreviated version of the list of my favorite things about home.[i hope you all like lists. they seem to be a reoccurring theme on here. welcome to my life. i make like 10+ a day.]

.the cypress trees
.it reminds me of my best friends
.the fact that i can see the other side and i know who's on the end of every pier
.naps in the hammock
.slow boat rides
.the ducks
.the sunset
.watching the rain come across the lake
.the otters/beavers :)
