I love Auburn like my name is Pat Dye

Michelle and Rachel signed leases for their apartment for next year on Thursday! Of course, we had to capture the moment. There are so many "wow, we really are adults" moments happening!


On Friday night we had a little gathering to ring in the fall. We made pizzas, carved pumpkins, and got really excited about the game on Saturday. Since we don't actually have a kitchen(we used the one in the chapter room) we don't have any pans so we improvised with foil! It worked pretty well.

Oh, hey Carley and Nicole. Aren't y'all precious.


Carving pumpkins seemed like a really wonderful fall activity. And it was until we remembered how bad they smell and how gross the inside is. Oh, well! We still had a lot of fun with them!



Look at what we made!

What a precious way to ask someone to formal!

On Saturday we all went to the Auburn vs LSU game! It was incredible to say the least! It's so great to be an Auburn tiger! 8-0!


Also, I'm a little obsessed with the Auburn creed and I feel like after that game it's just perfect timing to share it on the blog...

I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work. 

I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully. 

I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men. 

I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports that develop these qualities. 

I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all. 

I believe in the human touch, which cultivates sympathy with my fellow men and mutual helpfulness and brings happiness for all. 

I believe in my Country, because it is a land of freedom and because it is my own home, and that I can best serve that country by "doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly with my God."

And because Auburn men and women believe in these things, I believe in Auburn and love it.
-George Petrie (1945)

Isn't that the most wonderful thing you've ever read? I just love Auburn and everything that it stands for.

Today, Brooke and I got in our workout carrying the Tridelt composite from Wire Road to the chapter room. The delivery man called me and informed me that he was in an 18 wheeler and proceeded to ask me where I thought he would be able to park a vehicle that big. Since I have never driven or parked an 18 wheeler, I wasn't sure what to tell him. Don't worry he just pulled up on the sidewalk-that's totally legal, right?

He then handed us the incredibly large and awkwardly shaped composite and told us he thought we could handle it from there-after all it's only 67 pounds. So, Brooke and I carried it all the way back. Good times. I'm so thankful that Brooke came to help me! There's no way I could have carried it by myself!
