Well I'm an always on the go girl and this weekend proved that for me. I thought maybe since I had fall break on Friday and a little time off I would have a calm weekend. Nope, quite the opposite. Spent Thursday night at home with my roommate Whitney and then we went to her elementary school to observe all day Friday. I'm glad the more in-depth I get into the education program the more I realize it's exactly what I want to do. I just wanted to take all those kids home. Then a nice drive to Tupelo for Friday night…and of course mom and I had to make a run to Celebration Village and then dinner with dad. These were my only few calm hours of the weekend.
Saturday morning I headed to Starkville for State's homecoming and the bf's birthday :) So naturally when we get to the Junction I'm throwing out waves like I just was crowned Miss America because naturally 90% of the town of Tupelo is there. Now you must know that this was only about my fourth visit to Starkville (cross country meets excluded) and definitely my first State game or Junction experience. I grew up Groving it up every weekend and come from a great family tradition of Ole Miss graduates and fans. If my grandad knew where I was this weekend, he would probably disown me. Jay also fears the day he has to meet Pop and tell where he goes to school haha. All that being said, it was a lot of fun, and I got to see lots of high school friends. When we went into the game there was a lot of pressure for me to ring a cowbell, and every time I quickly said no, but then eventually agreed I would if Chad scored. Well he got close, but it never happened so I was in the clear. But it was my sweet boyfriend's birthday, and when they won I couldn't really say no. I gave a couple of rings but that was all I could handle. (Just don't let my family know!)
A good night in Starkville and then it was back to Tupelo for the much anticipated Wave Connection! But more about that later…
xoxo, Maria
