This is to inform the rest of the universe of our lives and the shenanigans we get ourselves into.

It was a bittersweet, nostalgic kind of day...

On our last night in Auburn, as we sit here staring at blank walls and an empty room, we decided to reminisce about our first year at Auburn.

It was a lazy kind of day



Don't you love rainy Saturdays? We do. Our Saturday mornings used to consist of getting up early to make waffles, get dressed in gameday attire, and booking it to the stadium to secure our seats for the football games. We loved every second of it, even standing outside for an hour in a torrential downpour anxiously awaiting Auburn to take on West Virginia (see photo above). But now that the season is over, we now embrace our free mornings and take the opportunity to catch up on sleep we didn't get during our hectic week.

Today was THE definition of a lazy Saturday. We slept late, it was cold/rainy, we listened to the Glee soundtracks, and wore sweatpants until we went to the movies at five in the afternoon. We went and saw When in Rome with some friends. It was nice and more enjoyable then our previous adventure to the Carmike Wynnsong, which consisted of fighting with the ticket lady, being dealt wristbands, and being herded like cattle into a theatre to witness the unveiling of New Moon at midnight. As we waited on the previews and Jen being her typical clumsy self spilled Mo's popcorn on herself and jumped up nearly spilling the popcorn on the people in front of her. Overall the movie was a typical humorous chick-flick. It was enjoyable and cute but it was not Oscar Worthy (although Danny Devito was presh and brought tears to Jen's eyes). We went to Chili's and reminisced with old friends about elementary school and girl scouts.

It was a chill day and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We are so excited for the upcoming weekend when we are reunited with our best friend Kel. It's been a lot less fun in the dorm without her.


This will forever be on our favorite YouTube video list.

It was a Tennis Shoe kind of day.



We finished watching Glee.
Our trip home got canceled due to Winter Storm 2010 part 2.
Jen slipped and fell down on the bus, due to slippery floors (hence why we needed the tennis shoes).
Watched AU beat UGA in Gymnastics. War Eagle to that!
A little lame today, but it was a pretty uneventful Friday.
