A Lot of Catching Up to Do: 1 of 4 (Wedding)

Wedding Updates:
Yet again, not much to update. The October meeting was dedicated to CAKE! Adam's mother and grandmother also came to help with the Groom's cake design and to taste some cake! We designed some big and beautiful cakes, I think anyways. :) Below is a picture from the cake meeting. The November meeting was to pick out invitations. And, I have a meeting tomorrow. We will be working on the floral design and rental stuff. That's about all for wedding stuff. Until later, I'll be waiting on the arrival of my wedding dress! :)

A Lot of Catching Up to Do: 2 of 4 (Family/Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving
I know I'm a little late on Thanksgiving stuff, but I just had to post. Thanksgiving is always a reminder of the blessings The Lord has given me, especially my wonderful family. Over Thanksgiving, my family celebrated my Grandmother's 80th birthday. We surprised her after our Thankgiving dinner. It was so sweet and she was so surprised. She starting crying! We wanted to do something special for her not only because it was her 80th birthday, but also because my grandfather "PaPa" passed away 2 years ago this holiday season. They were married for well over 50 years and she misses him so much. This time of the year is hard for all of us, but we remember to celebrate his life every time we are all together. Here are some pictures from her birthday celebration. My favorite is the one of Mark helping her blow out the candles. Can't wait to see everyone again for Christmas!

A Lot of Catching Up to Do: 3 of 4 (Friends)

God has blessed me with some pretty great friends!

Amanda's Bachelorette Dinner and Wedding:
Amanda has been one of my very good friends for many years. Our brothers played baseball together, our Dads umpired recreation baseball together, and Amanda and I cheered together in high school. Although, I came to Auburn and she stayed in Troy, we still remained friends through the years. We could always just pick up where we left off. Now, she is married and lives in Pine Hill, Alabama which is much further than Troy :( but I am certain a few more hours away won't make any difference in our friendship! Love you Amanda! Here are some pictures from her Bachelorette Dinner and BEAUTIFUL WEDDING!


Leigh and Matthew's Baby Shower:
Yep, Ava Blakely Allen is almost here! A few more weeks...due in January. I helped hostess a "couples baby shower" for Leigh and Matthew a few weeks ago. Here is a picture of the girls from the shower. And of course, one of the boys.

Bachelorette Party in Atlanta for Samantha :
I can't believe it's really here! This week is Samantha's wedding week! The past year has flown. (I think I say that in every post, but time really flies these days.) This weekend we went to Atlanta to celebrate Samantha's Last Fling before the Ring. And as always...some pics from the weekend. I'll post again after next weekend with pics from the bridal luncheon, rehearsal, and wedding day! I'm so excited to be a part of Sam's BIG DAY! Let the wedding festivities begin!

A Lot of Catching Up to Do: 4 of 4 (School)

School is to blame for my absence in the blogging world. But, Christmas break is finally here. I have actually been finished since November 30th, but have been busy spending time with Adam and my family.

Rotation Update:
Unfortunately, not much to update on my rotation selections. We still don't know our exact placements. However, I am certain everything is going to work out fine with the wedding and such. We were able to choose the block we wanted off. Thank you God!

Meet Group #40
This is a picture of my IP (Integrated Pharmacotherapy) group, Group #40. If you haven't noticed from previous posts, the HSOP (again, Harrison School of Pharmacy) loves some acronyms. I spent a minumum of 9 hours/week this semester with these awesome people. As mentioned in a previous post, my class doesn't have much "class time" together anymore. We are split up into small groups of about 7-8 people and teach each other. Sadly, next semester I will be assigned to a new IP group. I look forward to my Spring group, but Group #40 is going to be hard to top! I really couldn't have asked for a better group. Just look at how fun we were!
Pharmacy Students and Auburn Football
I've met some good friends throughout my time in pharmacy school. I can't believe that in 1 more semester I won't get to see my classmates almost everyday. Although, I don't think I will miss class one bit, I will miss the wonderful friends I have made. This is a picture of some of us at the last football game of the season against UGA! Despite having to study all the time, we still take some time to cheer on the Tigers...even when we probably shouldn't! :)
I'm so glad school is out. I think I may be enjoying my break a little too much just being lazy and watching some TV since I don't get to do much of that during the semester! Well, until January 5th (when we start classes back) you can find me working at the Wal-Mart Pharmacy in Troy, hunting with Adam in Clay County, or just around! :)
