shake it off

confession: i like taylor swift's new cd.

i can't help it! the more i listen to it the more i CAN. NOT. stop. i'm sure y'all have heard her famous shake it off by now. that one, sucks me in every time. the plus side is that i didn't have to pay for it (sorry taylor) my roommate bought both the itunes version and the bonus cd at target so she burned a copy for me, love ya park.

if you haven't already, just go ahead and watch this video of an 80's workout video that times perfectly with her shake it off. clearly i know what my new morning routine is going to consist of.

and if you want the normal music video, here ya go. taylor swift's: shake it off

pumpkin patchin'

i think that last photo of my dad and me is so funny, we are both looking in opposite directions but have the exact same look on our faces, at least i know where i get it from ;)

i finally made it to a pumpkin patch! i had been wanting to go so badly all october so over fall break my mom and dad took me to one in tennessee. it was the perfect fall day to go, they had a corn maze, pumpkin patch, homemade fudge, funnel cake fries, and much much more! well worth the wait, that's for sure!!

a house divided

so that whole blogtober thing lasted a whole... day... oops. i decided i didn't really like any of their prompts so i just didn't do it and then you know, that whole life thing happened and all of a sudden it was november. how did that happen?? this whole time change thing has got me like 

am i right? but moving on to more important things, let me catch you up on my life. first things first 4 weeks until i am done with classes for the semester. and only 7 saturdays till christmas. now that we have that out of the way...

a couple weeks ago my family met up in knoxville for the ut/bama game, obviously the pros won but the vols did play a good game. i even said at the end of the game how fast it went by because i actually paid attention since it was interesting (besides the first quarter).

sorry for the picture overload, i am too lazy right now to combine and down size but the most important thing is that we got our christmas card photo and i ordered them for mother this past weekend.

roll tide and see y'all here real soon!

day 1 & day 2 of blogtober

i thought that since i have issues blogging every day i would blog along with taylor and helene for their blogtober challenge. the challenge is to blog EVERY day in october with the prompts they provide. obviously it's hard to blog every day and obviously i'm not going to like all of their prompts but i will try to do the ones i do like!

so for day 1:

what would you do it you won the lottery?

i would save some, donate some, spend some on my family and close friends, and then hire a driver for the rest of my life. i hate driving, i'm not a good parker, and i get major anxiety in parking garages. so i have always said i would hire a driver for life if i ever won the lottery.

day 2:

what was your dream job as a kid? 

i'm pretty sure 4th grade teacher, pharmacist, nicu nurse, and then back to 4th grade teacher. i don't think i ever really had big dreams like astronaut or ballerina. i'm pretty sure i have always wanted to work with kids in a way and have always wanted to be a teacher. i'm glad to see i'm making my dream come true :) (with the help of my parents of course)


what would you do if you won the lottery and what was your dream job when you were a kid? hopefully these prompts will help me blog more often, happy weekend eve!
