Sweet Home Alabama

I absolutely cannot wait for football season! I attended the Alabama A-Day game this weekend and it did not disappoint. I haven't been since 2002. My grandpa always took me and he passed away the day of the A-Day game in 2003. This year I decided I should just go and do it, and boy am I happy I did! My sister, her boyfriend, my brother and Todd went. We had a blast. The Walk of Champions was just as good as game day. Also, I got to watch the unveiling of the Nick Saban statue. At halftime they had the quarter back challenge and some of the old quarterbacks and recievers were there at halftime which was nice. Now I just have to wait impatiently for 137 more days until football starts!

Quarterback Challenge

One of the things that has contributed to our success is the crowd we get for thisgame ... It creates a great atmosphere for our team, and they love it. This turns out to be a fantastic day at our University. -Nick Saban 

Gone But Not Forgotten

Yesterday would have been my Uncle Steven's birthday, he would have been 39. It is hard for me to write this because I know that he is gone. The hole he leaves behind is so very large. I know God has a greater plan and one day we will meet again.


My favorite picture of Steven and Me



Katie and I got a cupcake in memory of Steven for his birthday.
Crimson and White of course :)

           I Miss You
I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping
I have you in my heart.
          Love,
