JACKSONVILLE vs ASU

Here are some pictures from the first home game of the season. Jacksonville Florida vs Appalachian State.

This is the Black && Gold Community. The houseing Residence that I live it. We're kind of like the spirit community. :) It's a lot of fun.

The team before the game




The band. 310 Members. They are so terrific.

Both teams prayed together after the game.





Final Score. Much better than the LSU game. Hope all of htem are this nice!!
Take care--

First Week At Appalachian State

Hey! Well I was pretty much talked into this... I didn't put up much of a fight, as you can tell. I promise to update when I can.

My first week away from home wasn't TOO terrible! I started to miss home when almost 90% of the students here went home for their labor day weekend. I sadly stayed but so did some of the other girls on my floor so we decided to make the best of it. Here are a couple pictures :)



These are some of the girls and a random boy from my dorm. All the girls are from my hall. My RA (Resident Assistant) is the lady in red. We were on our way to the parkway to make smores. YUMMY :)



This is my roommate, Laura. She's from Shelby, NC. Her major is Studio Art (for now)




Here's part of our dorm. We decided to bunk our beds so that we would have more room. And I don't mind climbing up to go to bed. It actually saved us a ton of room.



These are our desks and fabulous fridge! She brought the TV and I brought the DVD player. Which is a great asset to have because some of my friends down stairs have the ENTIRE series of Scrubs (my favorite show :) )

Our First HOME Appalachian State football game is this Saturday @ 3:30pm. It is against Jacksonville and is National Champions Day. As with this team having THREE National Championships, it's going to be a BIG day. I promise lots of pictures!

Hope to see or hear from most of you soon! Grandma is coming up on Sunday (National Grandparents Day) to have lunch with Richard and I. Can't wait!

--Talk to you soon!
