Sunburns and Taking Turns

October 4th- It was homecoming weekend here in Cullowhee. This means not much to the students, faculty, or the football players really, which saddens me. Over the years, we have all come to grip with reality, we lose football games. I mean someone how to lose the game, right? I was cheering along with many of my peers in the stands during the game. It is a little after 12 o'clock and although it is October, it is still very warm. The sun was out and shining. As for my head situation, I parted my hair and had it up with bobby pins.After all day in the sun, I had a precious burn on my neck (oh no worries, it was only above the collar of my shirt. So essentially, I had a farmer's tan. YES! Ugh, it was horrendous.) and on my head where my scalp was exposed from my part.
At the end of the day we lost a football game and I got a sunburn.
(The picture to the right is of my burn. You know, just cause you can't see the extent of my burn, does not mean that it did not hurt. Please have some sympathy, it was sore the next shower that I took.)

October 5th- Allie and I went to Asheville today to see Barack Obama speak. It was quite gorgeous outside and we all might not have been able to ask for a better weather. Like yesterday, we stood outside. This time it was for more than six hours. Being outside for the duration of the day was spent in line standing, speech listening, and leaving. This day took for-ev-er! Regardless of the opposite side being parted today, I still managed to burn on top of a head. This particular area really is unfortunatete. In the end, I can say that today was worth it. I can not, however, say the same about yesterday.


October 6th- If you are wondering why there are so many photos of creative hair-do's, I think that you should know that the hair gel resides on a desk in the open. When people see it sitting there, the opportunity it open for all. Here are some more of Allie's creations. Each time they get cuter, don't they?

October 8th-11th- Fall break was finally here. Ashley, Daniel, and mister Jacob were going to be in Raleigh for a wedding and I could not have been happier! I got to spend time with my nephew and let me tell y'all...pictures do not do this kid justice. He is by far one of the cutest things that I have ever seen. I am a bit bias, but I know that he has some of his parents features.He was having a blast in this laundry basket. He was almost able to pull himself up, but we were all a little bit apprehensive to let him do so. He is one of the happiest children as Daniel and Ashley have been told. Here is some more proof that he is content in mommy's lap. It is about 12:30.Listen to his laughing!
