Tanks Gibing!

Well it's been nice having some days off school to hang out with friends and family! Me and pete went to my parents for our annual Pie night wed. with Dallin and Michelle where we have bunch of friends come over and bring deserts and pie and eat and enjoy our pie before you get too stuffed from thanksgiving! Then on thursday we got a typical Lawrenceville 2nd ward Turkey bowl game goin and it was some good times- minus pete working and couldn't come and i got a kink in my neck.. but it is always good to see the little kids getting involved with football and learning how to play. Pete did get to play football friday morning after he go off work and we got a good game goin on some astro turf at northview highschool and played the length of the field which is always fun! But both of us had some GREAT thanks giving dinners on thursday- at the fire station all the guys brought stuff in to eat and they had a big ol feast- so he didn't miss out too much by not bein home for thanksgiving!
But i'm greatful for my little fireman and for all the hardwork he does for our little family! We have been having so much fun lately! But i love him with all my heart. We are also so greatful for all of our great friends and family!!!
Our co-ed football league is going great- especially since we are undefeated!!! I also got to play softball last weekend for my Facility and Event management class- we put together a softball tournament to raise money for the Jerry Worthin Childrens charity to give money to kids at christmas time- and we raised over $1,000 for them!!! and another $1,000 for our sports management club! it was sweet! and we got to play- surprisingly our team was pretty good for being random people from my class- but we still lost to these GREAT teams who could hit homeruns everytime if they wanted to... I also finished my other big project for rec. and leisure class with a Senior Day with elderly seniors over 60 yrs old.. and we got to put on little activies for them to keep them active and it was a big success- they had a great time!! Now next week is just finals time!! wish me luck!

i'm locked in my house!


So pete has my keys in his car and pete is at work for the next two days... so therefore i should be doing homework, but i'm just going to blog instead!!!
So Nov. is always one of my favorite months cause the beautiful weather, football season, and my birthday!! whoo hoo! So for my 22nd bday i was actually away in athens from that monday till wed. afternoon at a Conference for GRPA- the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association. It was very cool cause it was all paid for by Kennesaw State, and my teacher was speaking at one of the classes, annd.. i got a ton of free stuff along with some good networking experiences! We had a good time! There were 7 KSU students total and we make a good impression wherever we go cause we have lots of fun but are pretty professional at the same time! But we got to hang out round athens both nights and watched the elections and got to see some crazy Obama supporters running around screaming with signs.. it was interesting/annoying... But what can ya do.. we just all need to get along now and make it work for the next little while!
I celebrated by birthday the sunday before i left for athens and it was just soo much fun! Dallin and Michelle Thomas came with us for dinner with the fam, and then Nate, Markus, Cory, and Mary came over and made a huge poster with all sorts of funny do-dads about me being "pregnant"- which im not... but it is just a fun joke they like to play. They had all sorts of baby names with storks and such and pictures of me and pete and fun drawings which made me laugh. But they put a lot of hard work into and i'm greatful!! Pete got me a sweet new digital camera which i love and i'm still playing around with- he's the best!! My mom got me a cute little sewing box kit and a book on how to sew skirts- This is going to be one of my new hobbies! :) Granny made me some homemade snowflakes she crocheted.. and they are really cute too!! But overall it was a really fun birthday and it all ended with a good game of cards! But thank you to all who wished me a happy birthday! I have some great friends and i'm very greatful!!!
It was also my little sister Kristi's birthday this last week and she is the good ol Sweet 16!! boys watch out!! she takes after her sister!! :)

Last night me and Pete got to go to my old roommate/teammate Amber's Senior night at University of West GA!! it made me sorta sad cause i could have been out there with her!! And there team is still not very good... haha which is also a bummer... but she played GREAT and so did the other senior also another one of my old Teammates/roommates Lauren Schmidt! But it was fun being with amber and her family again!!

So we also had our first co-ed flag football game on monday and we won! miraculously... but we won!!! i got to be QB for a little bit, but it was no bueno... haha i was not mentally prepared for the game cause i thought i'd have a vball game... but it got moved back to this next monday... but it doesnt matter... a W is all that counts! haha

But anyways this week has been crazy with elections and such... i had to vote a week early because i would be in athens- and i had to wait 3 1/2 hrs to vote!!! Pete voted on tuesday when it opened and he only waited for like an hour. .but we had to do our civic duties! And now we our 44th president is Barak Obama... as my friend nate said.. "if he's the one that makes the democrats and republicans work together... then it doesn't matter who it is!" which is true! lets hope it works!!! :)
