Let's get our THANKFUL on! Day Two.

I am thankful to attend the GREATEST UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD!!!!!!! Daaa nuhh nuhh nuhhh nuhhhh....GO GATORS! (Hopefully y'all can hear the horns playing while reading my poor excuse for onomatopoeia....ooo and I spelled that right the first try, woop woop.)

I graduated from UF last Spring and will be graduating again from graduate school in May. I am also so lucky to have grown up in Gainesville. While gettin' my thankful on I thought that I had to mention how much I love The University of Florida. I really can't imagine going anywhere else! I can NOT wait for the Gators to demolish the Noles on Saturday. They are going to be destroyed like Thanksgiving dinner.

Here are some pictures that really have no rhyme or reason except the fact that they have to do with UF and, well, me.

How are YOU gettin' your thankful on today!?!?!?!

Let's get our THANKFUL on! Day One.

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! I would be having a MUCH better week if I didn't have throat glands the size of golf balls but I WILL get better to enjoy my time with friends and family this week! I am soo happy for my friends from afar to make their pilgrimages back to good ol' ACR-ville. (I didn't even notice my own holiday inspired pun at first, do you? Pilgrims? Thanksgiving? Get it? Well I think it is funny.) For those of you who don't know, us local Gainesvillians are called ACR's as in Alachua County Residents. This is usually used as a derogatory term meaning that you have 3 teeth, wear jorts, and pick turnips on the reg. BUT, I love this endearing term and I love all my ACR's. Get home soon people, I promise I am not contagious.

I felt that in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would post something that I am thankful for every day this week. Sure wish I thought of this Monday but, as I mentioned, I have been a bit under the weather.

So, today, I am thankful to live in our wonderful country! Go America, you go on with your bad self. Last weekend I rode with my dad in a motorcycle ride that he sponsors that is the longest and largest Veteran's Day parade in the WORLD! (Yes, in Gainesville people!) I have done this ride before with my dad and last year I rode my scooter on my own. (Which I will never do again because the acceleration can present a bit of a problem.) It is soo fun and the best part is riding by all the Gainesville residents who come out of their houses, set up chairs on the side of the road, and wave their flags at us! Here are some photos of the ride!

Feel free to post and comment what you are thankful for! Let's all get our THANKFUL on!

My Daddy and I!

Juuuuust pretending!

About to RIDE!

TONS of motorcycles and proud Americans!

The two Grand Marshals were veterans of Iwo Jima.

They were so inspirational!

All the Veterans lined up to support us outside the courthouse!

I'M BACK!

Sorry everyone for such a long hiatus. I have been SO busy with school, personal life, etc that I let my poor little blog sit for too long. Never again! If you have been wondering what I have been up to I will give you a little update!!! I have so much to blog about so get ready for lots of new posts!

I recently took a trip to London, England and Dublin, Ireland for school and pleasure. OK pleasure sounds creepy. I went for school and...fun. Let me tell you it was definitely a learning experience! I had never been to Europe and was SO excited to finally hop across the pond and not be such an Ameri-centric bumpkin. I had a truly wonderful and ridiculous time. Now I don't want to make any generalizations or stereotypes, oh, but I do. I discovered that the British and the Irish are: 1. Always drunk or drinking. 2. Extremely functional as compared to Americans while drunk or drinking. 3. Suck at customer service. 4. Know more about America than I would say your average person actually living here does 5. Smoke cigarettes like they are going out of style. 6. Appear ridiculously loaded because the dollar is as useless as clothes to a nudist over there.

Even though I came back with cobwebs filling my wallet, Europe was phenom. I have so much to report about fashion and fun so this will have to take a couple of posts. Here are some photos from my trip!

This is the face you will make if you discover what a "Breakfast Bap" is.

A little change from our luxurious hotel. Bunk it up!

Let me know if you have any questions about my trip! I will elaborate a lot more soon but I don't want to overload my first post since being back! I especially have a lot of posting to do about all the fashion mags I picked up abroad. Holy. Moly. Their magazines kill ours. Like murder. Hello fashion overload. Look out for that post!
