How 'bout them seminoles?! After yesterdays game, we are now 3-1. We crushed Samford in the season opener, got crushed at Oklahoma, won against Brigham Young, and shut out Wake Forest. I have gone to every home game and they are soooo much fun! Its awesome to go to a school with so much football tradition! Tallahassee pretty much shuts down and campus turns into one big tailgate on gamedays...awesome.
You probably remember hearing about my dear friend Shea. We have been friends since as long as I can remember and some of my fondest high school memories are the road trips with our moms to volleyball tournaments multiple times a month. She also goes to FSU and I have really enjoyed rekindling our friendship and meeting all of her friends. She loves seminole football and is so much fun to go to the games with! I feel so blessed to be able to have friends like her as I am figuring out this place and making new friends of my own. Shea- if you ever read this thing, I love you and I love our friendship and I am so happy we ended up at school together :)
Here are some pictures from the last few games!

| Sara (my roommate), Me, Frances (a new friend) and Shea with Jimbo Fisher! |

| His headshot didn't come out in the picture for some reason...but his name really is Mister Alexander...it cracks me up every time the announcer says it! |
 |
| Shea and I! |
 |
The past three home games they have had fly overs from nearby military bases immediately following the singing of the National Anthem ...really awesome.

Chief Osceola and Renegade! Definitely one of the coolest mascots in college football (not that I'm biased or anything...) They stay out for the entire game and ride onto the field after FSU scores.

| Christian Ponder! There was a lot of Heisman hype at the beginning of the season...but I think that is kind of dying down unfortunately. He goes to the Catholic church around here and Shea sat hear him once...pretty cool. I still haven't seen him around campus, but my friends always text me when they do...he is a pretty big deal! |
I took this video right before kickoff as the team was making their entrance. It is amazing to look around and see the whole stadium doing the war-chant in sync! The Marching Chiefs (our marching band) are really great...I actually look forward to the half time shows! (And because I get to sit down after standing with the entire student section for 2 hours!)

| I can't wait for these folks to come enjoy a game with me! |

I whipped this up before the game yesterday! I took a XXL tshirt that I got at Goodwill over the summer for $1, cut the neck off, then cut the sleeves into strips, and tightly knotted the strips! Its not high quality, but you can't beat it for $1 and 10 minutes!
Well, thats all I got for now! I have been enjoying this rainy Sunday by going to church, cleaning the apartment, and getting ready for the week ahead. I love yall so much and can't wait till the next time I see you! Go Noles!

I love your adorable dress - aren't you the crafty one! looking forward to being there for the football game in a couple of weeks!
ReplyDeleteThats such a well done blog! haha i have never read a blog before, but it was well organized.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to coming up again for a visit, but it probably will not be during football season.
That dress is pretty creatively made, people around here have had those made custom for jensen.
Anyway, you always sound happy when you are up in Talli and I hope you continue to have tons of fun! Go noles
I love the dress. Talk about a deal! I was reading your blog to Uncle Bob and saying how cute the dress was, and then discovered that you made it. We are impressed. Of course, he would like it better if it had Florida on the front.
ReplyDeleteJust to show you how old we are, girls wore nice dresses and guys wore suits and ties to the football games. Needless to say, you look a lot more comfortable than we did.
Your blog is great and can't wait for more updates.
