Happenings in East TN



Everything is still going smoothly down here--well, depending on your definition of "smoothly." I mean we can say that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is still holding true: Entropy increases...constantly. But enough of that. Here's what's been happening: I resigned from my position at one of the big electronic powerhouses: Best Buy. There were a few complications and it became too demanding for me, working 20+ hours and taking 18 credits at school. My two weeks will be ending right before Thanksgiving break...convenient, huh? :) Up next, there's been a lot of bonding with my group of friends. God's been awesome in letting me get to know these people! The girls on the left and I went to a local highschool football team...we missed highschool football and freezing and screaming. It was their homecoming and some of the kids from one of my field classes asked me to come. Shooo!! Why not!?
Every year, at Milligan's homecoming there is the extremely competitive football game. Milligan Alumni vs. Milligan students. Alumni ALWAYS win...but there was something new in the air this year. Perhaps it was the bitter cold or the stellar game plan or the amazing fans who braved the frostbite to cheer their team on. Whatever it was, the underdogs came through and in the last minute scored the winning touch down. In the first time of Milligan history---the stream-line students take the V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!
Michael is the owner of that incredibly awesome backwards somersault in the air. We were at the soccer conference championship game (i'll talk about that in a sec) and the fans were getting pumped up. Michael is known for his acrobatics off of tall objects....in this case, a tall man's shoulders were the jumping base. It was pretty sweet. The conference game: WE WON--again, another first in Milligan school history. This weekend is Regionals and the student body is pretty pumped about that! The men's soccer team has never gone this far...so: GO Buffs!
The last happening is that our heat was broken for a few days. We spoke to the maintenance and they promised to come fix it. I came home from class one day...and found this. I thought it funny and took a picture, without Mr Fix-it's permission...he didn't even know I took it.

Hey baby doll, I miss you so much. I can't wait to see you. Chris and I are going to try to come home for Christmas, but I don't know if the hospital will let me off yet. If you get to cold up there in Tenn come on down here, we can go to the beach. Love you sis.
