Weagle Weagle

Growing up, I've always been raised in believing that I bleed orange and blue. No matter the circumstance or the season, I've always been an Auburn Tiger! 
My family has season tickets; therefore, I attended the game in Auburn this past weekend. I especially loved this game because the weather was absolutely perfect for some football! Let's not even mention the score, which was 62-3 with Auburn taking home the victory against Western Carolina! 
The game wasn't my favorite part, though. Being able to spend quality time with my family was the icing on the cake! We were all able to bond and just enjoy each-other's company, while teaching my little brother the right way- The Auburn Way! 
I also love coming to the games because it gives me a glimpse of my future! When I say this I mean that I want to attend college at Auburn University. I don't want to go to Auburn just because I'm an Auburn fan, but it genuinely feels like home. Auburn is where I belong, and even though I'm not sure what my major is going to be...I know this is my future school! 

How could you love any other team? There truly is only one way..."The War Eagle Way!"

I love my family! They're always helping me chase my dreams, no matter how insane!

This is Auburn Football!

Days with Alison!

Between a busy summer and hectic school schedule, Alison and I really haven't been able to just spend bonding time together. So, during our Fall Break, we decided quality time was a must! 
First, yesterday we spent the whole day running around town and exploring new things. One of the things we explored was style. Since, we both have similar but very different styles we wanted to try a style that was very beyond both of ours. After contemplating and searching through many stores we found the perfect one that let us become different people with different tastes in clothing. I loved creating a punk/rock outfit that could even turn me. In fact, my outfit kind of did turn me because I ended up walking out with the same jean vest that I'm wearing in the photo. What I learned through the exploration of different styles is that usually a piece of clothing can be very misleading, and maybe if we just try it on, without judging a book by its cover, we can actually expand our own style!

We decided to try out the punk/rock look for the first time!

Second, today we were less adventurous because after a full day of shopping, a birthday party, and late night talks we were very exhausted. Also, let's not even mention the fact that we woke up and took part in a cardio class at X-treme Fitness this morning! After our workout and really just lounging around the house, we managed to get ready and enjoy the fall weather. Being able to relax outside and sit on the grass let me soak in all of life's beautiful creations. From listening to the birds chirp to feeling the fall breeze on my face to laying in the grass, I began to form an appreciation for all the little things we overlook. 
All in all, I have enjoyed these past couple of days with my best-friend, Alison. She helps me see the good in everything, even when I feel like there can't be any good. In fact, I've never met anyone like her at all. I love the saying "opposites attract" because it is very true. Alison and I couldn't be more different, but I think that's why we are so compatible. We bring out the best in each other. Our friendship can't be defined and it sure cant be denied!

Life is fun, but when you have a best-friend by your side...it is way more fun!

Laugh at the bad times and gaze at the good.

Our relationship described in one picture! Alison is acting crazy, while I am a laughing by standard.

Miss National Peanut Festival Pageant!

If you live in Alabama, Florida, or Georgia you might be familiar with the National Peanut Festival. If you are familiar with this, then you must have heard about the Miss National Peanut Festival Pageant. To have the chance of competing in this National pageant, you must first win a Preliminary title within the state of Alabama, Florida, or Georgia. As soon as you gain a preliminary title, you are on your way to "Peanut!" 
This past weekend forty-one young women had the chance to compete for the title of Miss National Peanut Festival. One of these young women was Miss Dothan, Raven Pasibe. She graced the "Peanut" stage with complete and utter elegance. She walked away as 4th Runner-Up, and she placed in top five of every category! I am so honored to have the chance of meeting Raven and being able to build a relationship with her! Believe me, this isn't the last of Raven Pasibe!

Miss Dothan, Raven Pasibe, walked away as 4th Runner-Up this past Saturday. I couldn't be prouder of her in everything she has accomplished through out this journey!

All the Dothan queens!

Modeling for Karma Boutique!

This past Saturday I was given the opportunity to model for a local boutique called Karma during the Fashion Expo! It was truly an amazing experience and all in all just a fun time! I love being on a stage; therefore, I definitely love being on a runway! 
I can confidently say that every outfit modeled from Karma Boutique was extremely adorable, and each outfit seemed to fit each girl's personality perfectly! Whether you are looking for the sassy/punk look or the sweet/innocent look, Karma has got it! 

I always have fun on a runway!

Whether you're sassy or sweet, Karma has your style!

Loved this cute dress so much that I couldn't leave without it!

Honoring the Class of 2014!

As we witness the seniors walk down the path of the "year of lasts," my whole class decided since this past pep rally was the Senior Pep Rally, we wanted to honor the Class of 2014 in some way! 
We decided to go full out High School Musical by acting out a graduation ceremony and ending with a group dance. This idea was easier said than done because who knew that trying to get fifty people to do the same dance at the same time would be so difficult? After singing, dancing, and rehearsing the real High School Musical 3 graduation song many times, we all succeeded in becoming one! 
On the day of the pep rally we were all very eager and excited to be able to just have fun and celebrate the Seniors! Around two o'clock we were able to put on the caps, gowns, and sashes- these gowns were actually choir robes that a church graciously let us borrow! We not only acted the part, but we looked the part, too! When it was finally time for our entrance, we began the walk that the Seniors will soon take in May of 2014. My favorite part of the performance was the dance because while my whole grade danced and sang to the graduation song from High School Musical 3, the whole entire school sang along! This was an amazing feeling because it wasn't about us for once...it was about the seniors and the opportunity to get everyone involved!  


Getting the chance to know how a senior feels when they graduate!

Just call us Gabriella and Sharpay!




We call ourselves the "Excellent Eight!" I wouldn't want to go through Junior year with any other group of girls!

Homecoming 2013!

I had the most amazing time at my Junior Homecoming, and I can't believe I only have one more! I was able to dance the night away with all of my closest friends! 
As you can tell from the pictures, I went dateless. To me, this was the best way to go! I wasn't stressing over my hair or even my dress because I didn't have anyone to impress! I especially loved being able to get ready with my friends, while singing the "Best Song Ever by One Direction." I was able to laugh, and just have a great time with the people who make me smile constantly!
What about slow dances, you might ask? While all the cute couples slow danced to "Wanted by Hunter Hayes," my dateless friends and I checked out the snack bar! This gave us a chance to take a break and rest our feet until the next "dancing" song came on. 
So, the reason I mentioned about myself going dateless is because I want everyone to know that just because you go alone, doesn't mean it has to be miserable! The moment is what you make it; so if you go alone to the dance chances are you aren't going to be the only one! Just remember that high-school years fly by and soon all we have left are the memories. Don't do something that you'll regret, like not going to the dance! Get out there and have fun, no matter what the situation...I did!
I loved going to homecoming solo with my best-friends! 
What a great night with the world's prettiest girls!

There's no place like HOMEcoming!


This past Friday the juniors danced our way to victory as we reenacted certain parts from the movie The Wizard of Oz. 
Our overall pep rally theme was "The Greatest Homecoming on Earth," therefore the juniors played off of the homecoming theme by using the slogan there's no place like home! This theme was extremely difficult because we acted out the most important parts throughout the storyline of The Wizard of Oz. This meant that we needed the whole grade's cooperation to pull out the "W!" 

The best part of the pep rally, to me, was the "Emory City" dance! For those of you who are familiar with the movie, the original name is Emerald City, but we had our headmaster of the school join us in acting out the part of Oz. The catch to the renaming of the city is this- our headmaster's first name is Emory; therefore, we named our city after him! It was little details like this that helped us win the pep rally. Need I even mention that our special guest was Tessa Darlington from WTVY News? I love my class so much, and I'm so excited for the next pep rally because I know we are gonna dominate again! 

The war between the juniors and seniors has just begun, and I must say things are getting heated! My school is a very competitive school, even when against each other. What I love most though is that at two 'o clock in the afternoon at a pep rally we can be totally against each-other's success, but when those friday night lights come on we are unified. We are whole again, we are one school, together we stand!

Three of the cutest clowns I've ever seen! Love these pretty cheerleaders!
We loved being the "Emory City" let's not even mention our killer dance moves!
We were able to claim the spirit stick this week! Go Juniors!
Victory! Our reaction was priceless when announced as the spirit stick winners!
