I recently realized I have not posted a blog in many many months. To say I've been busy lately would be an understatement, but I don't want to bore you with that. I'll start with what all has been going on since the last time I blogged, which was sometime last fall regarding our summer activities. I'll pick back up with some of the people and places we visited and all that good stuff.
To start with, I began a new job in September (2010) as an Admissions Advisor at AUM. I award scholarships and plan all of our recruitment events and get to talk to students daily about gaining admission into AUM. To say the least, I LOVE my job! I love all that my job entails and I genuinely enjoy the company of my fellow co-workers. Having co-workers that you can say are your friends is a rare thing and for that I am truly blessed. And if you were wondering, Leon is still working at the Montgomery Water Works in the IT department. He has been there three years this month!
With the fall comes football season! This is probably one of my favorite times of the year for several reasons. College football, specifically SEC football, the weather changes from stiffling hot to slightly more comfortable and less humidity and we get to hang out with our friends a lot. During footbal season we have our friends over to watch the games, cook out and hang out quite often. These days usually involve a few drinks some fun games and of course Auburn and Alabama football. Our favorite half time game is corn hole. If you're not familiar with corn hole, it's essentially a grown up version of bean bag toss. Add in a few beers and it's even more fun!
I was even lucky enough to drag Leon to an Auburn football game, not once, but twice! And what a season it was too! We went to the Auburn vs Clemson game with several friends and it was an AMAZING, nail bitting game that literally had everyone on the edge of their seats! We also went with my family to the Auburn vs LA Monroe game, which, as you can probably guess, was a beating for LA Monroe. And, unless you've been living under a rock, you know that this was the best season for Auburn who went on to be undefeated and National Champions! Can I get a big WAAAARRRRR EAAAGGGGLLLEEE!!!! HEY!!!
Now for anyone who knows Leon, you know he is a HUGE Alabama fan, so it was an act of God just to get him to go to an Auburn game and put on a navy blue shirt. I tried getting him to wear an Auburn shirt, but he was not having it at all. I think secretly he had a great time!
