I only blog after going to Boone. I've started to realize this. Probably because that is where I am most inspired and loved spending time the most. Oh, Boone. Let me just say that we are SoCon champs for 6 years in a row now, hell yes. But lets backtrack real quick first...last time I posted I had gotten back from ASU and had gone to the homecoming game. That was like in October. I went to the Gravedigger's ball with my Kathryn and although nothing will ever top last year's Halloween, seeing Ke$ha with a wonderful friend was so worth it, especially after a fun Showmars Halloween too. 
Since then I have had the best birthday ever thanks to a bunch of 8/9 year olds. How does that happen? I got presents and cards galore, they even surprised me and sang happy birthday to me! I never like getting surprised, but it was like they kept surprising me and I didn't mind one bit. I got a candle, a sillyband, (many actually), drawings, a bag of doritos, candy, and well the nicest most loving hugs and heartfelt cards that I have ever gotten. 23 felt great that day. Honestly I've never wanted to cry of joy as much as I did that Monday morning with my kiddies. They are simply the best people ever and I want to take all of them home with me. SO bad. Unfortunately I've fallen in love with them almost at the wrong time. I have less than a month left with them and I'm already dreading the months following graduation. But, there's no need to be scared of it, whatever happens will happen and it will happen for a reason. Speaking of things happening for a reason...November has never really been a "happy" month. Nonetheless, this November has def made it seem like the worst month in the world. In the past 2 weeks 3 people that I know have passed away. Including the 3 people that I already mourn every November. These next few days are going to be the toughest, having the 19th and 21st this weekend...but I know it will be alright. I have done a few things to make me feel a bit better and one of those has been the Memory Walk. It was a HUGE success. I raised so much more than I thought and you guys CAN still donate! How neat?! But for those many of you that did already, this goes out to you: A GIANT THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU! I really have such a great support system and I had no idea that so many of you have been affected by Alzheimer's. Thank you to everyone who has thanked me for doing this, please don't forget that I did this in your loved ones names too. It is a very sad process and I do not wish it upon anyone. It was such a wonderful experience this weekend especially to have shared it with the ones I love. My siblings are the best and we really did such a great job with it together. We miss you, grandpa. 
Not only did we have a fantastic time at the walk, I got to go to Boone the same day! I got to see all of my favorite people all in one day. When does that ever happen? It was nice to be at that football game not only because it was a SoCon game but also because it would be my last football game as a student.
Graduation is only a few days away!! I love being in Boone as I've said endless times and luckily I get to go back this weekend for ALF! Oh Leadership Team how I have missed you. It will be a VERY interesting time but it will also be a great time to see some more of my favorite people this weekend. Gives me something to keep me going, esp tomorrow morning. Yuck, Monday. Well, my Laura moves into the forest tomorrow and I wish her all the luck in the world with her new job. I know she's going to be great I just have to convince her of it. I am also almost finished with all my work for student teaching. Well, the big stuff anyway and that will be such a relief as soon as I actually get that done. I just need a lot of minimotivation! Well I need to get some sleep now and tell myself that I've got this.Ven con nosotros a caminar.
