Identity Crisis

Before you go on thinking I have collapsed from the 3 mile run, you can think again. I made it on the run, and you will be happy to know that I ran again, and plan to keep it up. There's nothing like the runners adrenaline addiction. :)

This week has been terribly fast and exhausting. And, might I add that #1, it's already Thursday and #2, it's already NOVEMBER! Folks, where has 2007 gone?! I am still kind of freaking out that it is November. Know that I am counting down the weeks until school is out, which happens to be 5 weeks left, but that means I'm gonna have 5 weeks of pure craziness with everything that I have left to do to pass methods. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm ever gonna make it out of school or not. It is fun but oh, so stressful. If you ever thought that being an education major was easy, please think again. That is so far from the truth.

Enough about school, I think I've had an identity crisis this week. From being in College Station all weekend participating in MANY Aggie traditions, to Phi Lamb Scary Skate Night, to Halloween, I'm really not sure I know myself anymore.

College Station was a blast at the least. I always love visiting the Lambert's. Fun times are always had and there is never a dull moment. After a fun homemade pizza dinner, a few of us headed out to go bowling. Do you know how bad of a bowler I am? It's pretty bad. But, you can never go wrong with bowling. I definitely lost both games, but was at least able to laugh at myself. I even learned a few new tips from our bowling instructors! (They weren't really the "bowling instructors" per say, but in my book when you've taken a bowling class, you know more than I ever will. Which, in return, makes you my bowling instructor!)

After bowling we all headed to midnight yell. Once again, I was the dumbo that knew nothing. So, I simply followed the lead and whooped when I knew to. I know I'm not an Aggie, but I really feel like an Aggie by association. It's quite fun. And y'all, I know some of you think it's a cult, but they do have some pretty fun traditions. After yell practice, all of us old folks were quite exhausted so we put our lil' selves to bed. And what a good night of sleep I got.

Saturday, after FINALLY showering, we all headed out to tailgate before the game. It was such a gorgeous day. I'm telling you, I am absolutely LOVING the weather. Not only did we walk around, eat good food, and laugh a lot, but, I got to see Joanna. Probably the sweetest part of my day. I was only with her for about an hour (maybe) but the time was so worth it. I can't believe she's already back in Montana. I miss her so! When the game started I went with Claire and Russell back to their friend's house where we watched some of the game before they took me back to get my car so I could head back to Huntsville before it was pitch black (in which I didn't make that goal!) Upon my return to Huntsvegas, I changed to comfy clothes, talked with my girls, and relaxed for the rest of the night. A good weekend was had by all.

Monday, Hannah and I were old ladies for our sorority skate night. Y'all, oh my gosh, I really don't have any words except that I think we may have wet ourselves from laughing so hard all night. We even skated with just our knee highs and no socks. That was a joke. It was a lot of work becoming old, so I don't plan on adventuring down that road again any time soon. But, it was definitely an experience.

Last night, for Halloween, a few of us helped out at our churches (UHBC), Trunk or Treat! It was so fun. And guess what Hannah and I were this time?! Ketchup and Mustard. I never knew, but, it was such a hit. EVERYONE that walked by us had to at least announce to the world that we were Ketchup and Mustard. And, on top of that, I think I heard more Ketchup jokes last night than I've heard my whole life. I so wish you all could have seen what I saw last night, though. I'm sure you all saw some pretty cute costumes, but my goodness, there was some CUTENESS roaming around. I so wanted to take pictures of all the little cherubs, but I refrained as I thought people might think that was a bit stalkerish. We had grapes, ladybugs, transformers, penguins, golfers, princesses, cheerleaders, sharks, and you name it, we had it. I know I'm not even married, but I can't wait to dress my child up for Halloween. You should go see Jaclyn's blog to see what her little Grace was for Halloween. It's precious. She might have even had an identity crisis herself!

Enjoy all the pictures from my identity crisis. And, if you feel the need, pray for me as I return back to my original self this weekend. I can't wait.

Look at our cool bowling shoes!!

Our wonderful bowling instructors! (Or maybe I should say my bowling instructors since I'm the one that needed the most help!)


At midnight yell! (Hints why I look so tired, it was WAY past my bedtime!!)

Fun tailgating times!!


My day was made when I got to see my Joanna. Even thought it was only for 45 minutes, every minute was worth it! I love her so!!

You know I love me some salt.


Time to play Ketchup and Mustard!!



Anybody need a squirt?!

We talked to more people this night than I think I've talked to anybody my entire life. All because we were Ketchup and Mustard. Oh, the joys of condiments.

My precious roomie! Notice the golf theme. Oh my, Cohen was precious!!!



Acting our parts. (If that's even possible!)



Some 80's chicks...


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the fall weather, I know I will. A nice quick run might even make it into my schedule tonight, simply because of the weather.



Happy late Halloween and Happy November!!
