I know you aren’t supposed to post twice in one day but I really wanted to join in Amy Lemon’s fun linky party.
(1) I am a huge Tennessee Vols fan! My dad has has season tickets for over 40 years in the same seats and I was able to purchase two tickets beside his three tickets for this coming season. I am so excited! I usually go to all the games anyway but I love having my own seats. I even went to the games when I was on crutches after my knee surgery. It sure was fun when we had to go for cover twice during one game because of a storm and I was on crutches.
(5) I have a food texture issue. I cannot eat anything that is mushy. Bananas are a definite no no! Pudding and yogurt are on that list too.
(6) I took art lessons for years when I was growing up but I quit when I realized I was too much of a perfectionist to ever like what I drew.
(7) I love to bake. My family likes to joke that everything I make has to have Oreos in it. It’s one of my main ingredients but I do go away from it sometimes.
Courtney,
I am a huge fan of yours and I really enjoyed reading about you inside and out! I think it's fun to see how our lives are different outside of the classroom. Most of the memebers in my family are huge Michigan State Fans. My dad sounds a lot like yours. He says that if he gets cut, he'll bleed green blood! He was very active in their booster program and still (at the age of 90) attends as many activities as he can. However he doesn't like to go to the games as much anymore as the fans all seem to crazy to him! (of course it's the fans, and not my dad!!!! ha ha!!)
Enjoy the last few weeks of summer. . . you know it has to come to an end sometime. . . boo hisss!

Hey Patty! Thanks so much! You are so sweet! Our dads do sound alike. Most of the people in our section have sat there for a while so they aren't crazy fans. There are some though that I even think are too crazy because they yell the most insane things. I wish we could vote some of them out of our section like a reality show.
Oh your baked goodies look SO good! I love anything with oreos!! I also love HGTV designstar! I am also a huge House Hunters fan from HGTV also. It was great getting to know more about you! 🙂

I can so sympathize about your knee issues. I had 3 knee surgeries in the course of 5 years. I lived in the mobilizer for so long. It was so hard to get use to finally have movement in my knee after the last surgery. Definitely no fun! Glad I found your blog! Look forward to reading your posts.

Hey Emma! I am on Pinterest. On the left side of my blog, there is a blue P under Connect with Me. That links to my boards.
Ahh, Javy Lopez…I remember going to my first Braves game in 8th grade (had NEVER seen the Braves before). All the girls were crazy about Chipper, but I saw Javy and that was it. He was mine!
