Tagged...
Well, I knew this was going to happen when I was reading Robyn's Blog...
i also don't normally do stuff like this, but I was tagged to continue the game, so i must.
what I was doing...10 years ago (1995)
let's see...I was starting 8th grade at Tucker High School in Tucker, GA...I played on the JV fastpitch team that year. I remember playing basketball during PE with the guys on the football team including Patrick Pass (now of the New England Patriots) and Lance Huff, our Varsity QB who I of course thought was totally cute! I had science with Ms. Burden...a legend at our school...and them some other classes I don't really remember. Oh yeah, and I went to Briarlake Baptist and was involved in a great student ministry!
5 years ago(2000)
I was starting my freshman year at Auburn. I didn't know anyone when I showed up on the lovely plains, but quickly began to find my place at Parkway Baptist and the BCM. CC Farris was my Insight (fresh Bible study) Leader...Amanda Champion and Rachel Greene were in my group. I loved my freshman year (minus my fall roommate)! I really began to understand the larger purpose God has for me & that His glory reigns above everything!
yesterday (9/11/05) Yesterday was the last day of INFUSION...our entry event for middle-schoolers...it was a blast. We went to the 9:19 service together and then had the drawing for the IPOD Shuffle (Cooper Won!) and announced the winning team (ORANGE!) who recieved Mariners' tickets. Then we came home to a messy house...b/c of the intense weekend...watched a little football. We went to a small group leaders meeting & then went to Red Robin to watch the first half of Sunday night football since we don't have cable. Afterwards, Buck studied for seminary and I didn things around the house until it was time for bed!
5 snacks I enjoy: Strawberries, Jalapeno Poppers, Ice Cream, Sour Patch Kids, & Mozzarella Sticks
5 songs I know all the words to: I don't know lots of fun songs like some people...so, it will have to be songs I play often on the guitar: One Pure & Holy Passion; Jesus, You Alone; I Will Walk By Faith - Jeremy Camp; Prince of Peach; oh...and the Auburn Fight Song!
5 things I would do with 100 million dollars: Build my mom the house of her dreams; Support church plants in the northwest; travel with Buck...I can't think of anything more fun or relaxing; invest in real estate (you know for college funds and stuff like that); and choose five friends to completely support in overseas missions!
5 places I would run away to: Boston in the fall; SanFrancisco...it's different; Portland...quaint after Seattle/Tacoma; anywhere in the mountains (why I love living in the Northwest); and the San Juan Islands (where we went on our honeymoon...it was perfect)
5 things I would never wear: Black Tennis Shoes; Reebok anything; lipstick that is not in the red, pink, peachy family; anything that supports the University of Alabama...it's a bad example to others & would probably make me throw up); Molly's (my maid of honor) "come get me" shoes..and for that matter...the skirt she made me!!!!!
5 tv shows that I love: College GameDay; SportsCenter; Survivor; Friends; Anything else having to do with sports
5 bad habits: Biting my fingernails; Judging people from the moment I meet them; are these my habits??? it doesn't say...some people have a bad habit of eating ants; okay back to me: eating junk food for breakfast (not often I guess); being too critical of situations & actions
5 biggest joys: the fact that Christ desires to have a relationship with me; my husband; my family & friends; the purpose & gifts I have been given to serve Christ; oh...sports...especially Auburn Football!!!
5 favorite toys: scrapbooking stuff; rubix cube; beanbag chairs we got for students; all my different picture frames; i guess I will say our new Mac b/c we need a computer...and it is really cool for video editing and stuff like that!
4 people I'm tagging: sorry about this...but i'm choosing... amanda champion, jenn stratton, rachel rogers, and rob weideman!

THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE: COLLEGE FOOTBALL KICKS OFF
For the first time in as long as I can remember, I do not have ESPN during college football season. I am a big fan of the "no cable in our home" way of life we have chosen...we are much less likely to waste time vegging in front of the television. However, watching college football from dawn on Saturday (College GameDay actually starts at 7am on the west coast) until I go to bed is definitely NOT a waste of my life, and I will miss it. Yes, there are still games on other stations...but the constant football & the best coverage in terms of analysis is only available through ESPN. I am sure I will survive & I will still be able to see my Tigers play. Below is an article from a great site, especially if your roots are in Auburn: www.theauburner.com
10 Rules for the Upcoming Season
by Mark, The Auburner
10. When Kenny Irons is hit hard on the field (which will be a rare occasion) … do NOT say “Oh my God! They killed Kenny!”
9. While in the student section, it is ok if you wish to sit down; but do not expect the people in front of you to do the same. It doesn’t matter what the score is.
8. Don’t get drunk before the game. The masterpiece of art that is Auburn Football must be enjoyed with a clear mind. If you can’t be the best at something, don’t even try to be. LSU fans will always be better drunks… get over it.
7. Don’t say ESPN sucks. While most of their analysts and hosts are morons, they provide more college football coverage than any other source. You should be VERY thankful.
6. If you’re going to make a sign or paint your body, it must be in complete support of Auburn… none of this “SportsCenter is Next” crap.
5. All clothing located on the upper half of your body is to be completely Auburn affiliated…Preferably, an orange t-shirt. Wearing a blue polo shirt with an orange undershirt won’t cut it… too preppy. As for the fraternity attire…UAB called, they want their blazers back. har har.
4. Cheers that involve cursing is classless, don’t join in. The “go to hell Alabama” cheer is acceptable however.
3. Know the fight song. Don’t get mad at me for not knowing the Alma Mater.
2. Auburn went 13-0 last year. Why? Because of their ingenious football skills and beastly athletic abilities… it wasn’t because of your “lucky hat” you wore to every game last year… don’t say it was.
1. During a football game, do NOT boo at anything Auburn. I don’t care if Brandon Cox throws 20 interceptions. I don’t care if Coach Tuberville puts in Tre Smith at Left Tackle. Every newspaper article about Jason Campbell going into the NFL mentioned how he was booed by the students after he threw an interception during the first game last year. Unfortunately, it was true.
