Admiration for Joe

          It's not hard to imagine what my post will be about on this day. Today in college football  we lost one of the greatest, if not the greatest, coach in college football. I have always been a fan of Joe Paterno and Penn State. He reminded me a lot of my Grandfather Pap. Joe Pa was a man of class, a man of intelligence, and a man of integrity. It broke my heart to have to watch everything this man was put through back in November. Everyone will always remember Joe Pa. I have just always thought he was an adorable man with his glasses, black cleats, rolled up kakis, and his Penn State windbreaker. Everyone please keep his wife, children, grandchildren, friends, and the rest of his family in your prayers. I thought I would end this post with some great pictures of Joe Pa.










I love this cartoon that my uncle showed me on Facebook.

The Capitol One Bowl

          My dad and I headed out to Orlando on New Year's Day for the Capitol One Bowl. It was so much fun! I usually do not get into bowl week that much because most team's are playing a team that has no connection with them. I mean it is rare a team plays a team they hate. I have no hard feelings towards Nebraska at all. I honestly did not know what would happen. South Carolina and Nebraska's stats were almost equal. The game was a blast! I only took three pictures because I was having so much fun.

Trophy Presentation. Coach Spurrier said this was his favorite game since becoming the Coach at USC. I still believe the Alabama game from 2010 was the best game. But, Spurrier said this team has come so far from losing our Quarterback and losing Marcus Lattimore. History was made. This is the first time USC has had 11 wins in a season

The 34th Anderson Debutante Ball

          I have been majorly MIA for these last couple of weeks. But, everyone knows how it is around Christmas. All my family was in town, my boyfriend was in town, and I had my Debutante Ball four days after Christmas. The Debutante Ball was such a special night for my family and me. It was a night we will all never forget. That is what I wanted to dedicated this blog post to.

I cut out a piece of my Grandfather's flannel shirt and sewed it into the train of my dress. My Grandfather, Pap, passed away almost 7 years ago, and I wanted to honor him on this night.
