damnit, I've been tagged.

So I don't know who came up with this whole "tagging" business, but it seems rather sneaky and pushy to me. However, since I don't blog NEARLY often enough and one of my favorite people (ahem, Ivy) did the tagging honors I suppose I can play by the rules. The only thing I won't agree to is tagging someone else because I don't endorse entrapment.

Here it is: the fourth picture of the fourth album on my computer...drumroll please....

This would be me and one Miss Jessica Davis-my potluck roommate from my freshman year-on the first day we met. Here's where it gets interesting...this photo was taken in the Kinsolving elevator which we managed to get stuck in our way up to our dormroom. For two hours as we awaited our freedom, we talked, played 20 questions, and shared our life stories. This random, freak occurrence on one of my first days at UT is still one of my favorite memories and it reminds me how blessed I was to have found such a great soul to share my first year with.

NUMBERS

Surprise, surprise. It has, yet again, been over a month since my last post. Eek..sorry about that! Well let's not dwell on the past; instead let's delve into my new post....so here we go!

Lately my mom and brother have been obsessed with this show called Numbers- watching it constantly, filling up the DVR, you know the routine. Anyway, this show is all about an FBI agent and his younger mathmetician genius brother using numbers to find connections, see trends, and solve crime. It got me thinking about all the numbers that swamp our lives and the signifigance they hold and how numbers often define significant parts of our lives. So this post is all about, you guessed it, the numbers.

23-my age, which i continually obsess about because for some reason i feel so darn old all the
time. just think, at the rate i'm freaking out now, i can't wait for the turning 30 crisis...
7-my favorite number. always has been. i think i picked it because that's how many people are
in my family but i honestly can't remember for sure.
2-the number of amazing parents who support me through everything i do from moving across
the world to moving back home (again)
4-Force, Foursome, LOMLs. Awesome.
1-Number of my besties currently engaged...congratulations Ivy and Troy boy!
19-Days until Christmas
0-Number of Christmas gifts i've purchased
2,263-Dollar amount I've managed to save (after purchasing my plane ticket AND visa) the
largest amount of money I've ever had to my name at one time. Hello accomplishment.
2,237-Dollar amount I have left to save before I leave. In two months. Crossing fingers...
3-Current BCS ranking of my beloved Longhorns. Just enough to put them out of a national
championship. Right behind a team we beat. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it, just wanted to
note the injustice.
147-Days since I left my Scottish life behind.
36-Days until my long lost boyfriend makes his transatlantic trip to come visit me. Yay!
364-Days since finishing college and moving on from the monotony of classes and the
awesomeness of life in Austin with my favorite people. Nearly a year. Where does the time
go?
66- Days until I embark on my next big adventure, this time to the land down under. Am I
ready? Well, financially no. But I am pretty freaking excited. I've booked my plane ticket,
been approved for my visa, and been studying up with my Australia book. Only a couple of
months left....
10-Number of thank yous you get for reading through this whole number themed blog.
From a numerical standpoint, my life seems, well, a little complicated. And I wouldn't change it for the world.
