Thoughts on Thursday

Today is a great day for many reasons. 

#1- Gamecock football starts today!!  I am so excited to watch my team play.  I have grown up being a Gamecock fan my whole life.  Both of my parents went to USC (the real USC- The University of South Carolina), and although I swore I was going to go far away to college, somehow I ended up becoming a Gamecock as well.  It was probably the best decision I ever made (no student loan debt since I stayed in state, incredible friendships made, AND met the man of my dreams and now husband).  God always has a greater plan :).

Tailgating back in my college days with my ZTA sisters.

#2- We are packing our bags and heading to paradise tomorrow!!  It has only taken five years, but I finally convinced Paul to take me on a second honeymoon.  I know we will probably spend 95% of the time talking about the kids, but it will still be a nice, much needed break from normal life.  I can't wait to have some one on one time with my husband.

#3- Speaking of our trip, it is in honor of our 5 year anniversary tomorrow.  It is hard to believe that is has been 5 years.  Although our lives are much busier and much more stressful at times, I love you more now than ever.  Thanks for being my best friend, my rock, and the best father to our children.

That's all I have for today.  I have so much packing/organizing to do (not to mention I have to go to work and watch the football game this evening) I better get going!  Please pray for us to have a fun and safe trip.

Go GAMECOCKS!!!
