Hello, September!
Sorry about the tie-dye - the "cutest blog on the block" background was messing up, so I had to scrap it. I think this layout makes it easier to read on the tie-dye background, right? Let me know.
Here's a recap from this weekend: I drove home Friday morning, ate lunch with Bucky. She gave me her laptop! AMAZING! So now I have Skype and I can post pictures pretty easily (I'm going to attempt that next) since it has a card reader. Saturday I went to the clogging competition. We won 1st place in our all of our categories, and took 2nd overall in our division for small team ("Single Ladies") and 3rd overall in our division for both the hoedown and traditional line ("Nothing to Lose"). I think we should have competed at the Masters level - we would have SMOKED the other adult teams in that division! It was a lot of fun. We got 6 trophies! Mom, Dad, Granny, my cousin Amanda, Aunt Sheila and my cousin Rachel all came to watch. I love a cheering section! Saturday night I ate with Hayden and Brittany - so fun! Sunday was church and then I went to MTSU to pick up MacLaren and we went to La Vergne to see Cuyler, Leilani, and the boys. My cousin and his wife were there too. Cameron can really throw a football! ("bootball") The funniest thing was after he threw the ball, he would give everyone high-five. One time he had his hands up for a high-five but no one was paying attention, so he went over to the window and high-fived his reflection!
On Monday Cuyler and Leilani brought the boys to Mom and Dad's so I got to play with them for a couple of hours before I hit the road back to Sweet Home Alabama. I read Cameron a book Mom got me called "Countdown to Touchdown" starring Big AL. I taught Cameron to say "Roll Tide!" Should come in handy this weekend when he's watching the game with my brother, who's a Penn State fan! Roll Tide, Cameron!
I met Heather for lunch in Birmingham, and she brought Peggle Nights for me. It's a highly addicting computer game, sort of like pinball. She accuses me of only coming to visit her to play it, so now I have it on my laptop!
Yesterday was the after-school program. We were missing several kids, but I think everyone else had a good time. The mirrors are up in the dance room! (I've been enjoying them this morning doing a little clogging!) We're getting ready for our big Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony and Open House event on Thursday, September 23rd. It's from 4-6pm - consider this your personal invitation! I'd love to see you there!
Last night I got to hang out with my friend Julie because Bible Study was cancelled. We went to eat delicious sushi! We had somewhat of a Disney assortment: Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Shaggy Dog, and Crazy rolls. Snow White was my favorite but I'd get all of them again.
Ok I'm going to attempt to add some pictures of the house to a new post. Cross your fingers!

Bible study last night was great. I love those girls! And then when I got back in the car they were playing a sermon from In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley on the radio! I always forget that it comes on from 9 to 9:30 every week until I turn the car on. Then I do a little fist pump because I LOVE his preaching.
This morning I totally slept past my alarm, but it's my day off so it didn't matter. I went to the post office. Karron, the post master?, that I always see is so nice. Probably the nicest postal worker I've ever met. She joked about my 2009 National Champions crimson check card; she told me her husband is an Alabama fan and she and her daughter are Auburn fans. I said, I don't know how y'all live under the same roof. It was nice joking though - not like what I've experienced from the rest of Auburn's society.
I'm going to practice a few more double doubles in the dance room and then run some BigHouse errands. C-Ya!

Mirrors = Victory!
Week number two of the after-school program begins today! Yesterday I went to Canton and got to see the Therabeat recital. All the kids did a great job and it was fun to see all the families. Kids grow up in no time! Our friend Brian helped us load up the dance mirrors and he drove them back to AL last night. We just unloaded them - now we just have to hang them in the dance room!
I'm looking forward to going home (Fairview, TN) this weekend to see my family and compete with my clogging team in Nashville. I have my sights on another trophy or several. My parents and my Granny are coming to watch!
I've got to plan something for Sports and Games this afternoon...looks like we might need a rain plan. C-Ya!

Weekend Fun
Today is one of my days off, but I have been at BigHouse most of the morning playing on the computer. Also clogging. I'm going to competition with my clogging team over Labor Day weekend - it's in Nashville so I'm staying at my parents' house, which will be nice.
I changed the background (obviously) since a few people said they couldn't read the hot pink text in front of the tie-dye background. It's really too bad, since I love tie-dye. thecutestblogontheblock.com had no tie-dye backgrounds. Not even close. Sad day.
Tonight I'm going with Micah and Blake to the Opelika High School football game. They are the Bulldogs. I'm ready for football, so it should be exciting. On Sunday I'm going to Canton for church, the Therabeat recital (to see my kids perform!), and clogging practice. One of our friends is going to attempt to bring our dance mirrors from Canton to Opelika. Pray! I want our mirrors so badly!
I'm off to the post office to mail my mom a letter and see if my Bucky's book has come in the mail - she wrote and published a book and it came out this week! I can't wait to read it. I'm so proud of her! I'm also going to try to get a library card today.
