I am so excited to go home... I miss the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Cascade Mountains and the verdant Oregon forests. I miss the seaside cliffs along the coast and the beautiful Willamette Valley vineyards. I also love the city of Portland! It is so contemporary and has a dynamic culture....

Thursday morning, we all made our way over to my Grandparents home. Grandma Shirley cooked a great dinner! Earlier in the week, Danielle and I made pies for Thanksgiving and thankfully they all turned out really good! We got the recipes online from the Paula Deen website....

I traveled up to Tennessee on Friday with my friend Anita and arrived in Chattanooga around six o'clock. After my Aunt Leanne and my cousin Katie picked me up, we all drove to their beautiful home in Cleveland. Everyone was waiting for me when I walked through the door....

I had a fun time at the bonfire Friday night! We roasted marsh mellows and drank hot chocolate... yum! A group of us went to the cemetery! Paranormal activity has been reported in the past, but unfortunately we didn't see anything creepy that night....

This tradition is definitely my absolute favorite so far!! I remember mentioning field hockey practice in my other blog Tradition, tradition! The first game was a fierce battle between the seniors and the underclassmen. Sadly, the senior class was victorious....

Treats on Bibb Street is Judson's annual Halloween event. Campus clubs prepare a "treat stand" for local children. It's super cool because it provides them a safe and fun trick-or-treating experience. I am very excited, but I still need to get a costume!       Judson College is supposedly haunted! During the weekend, my crazy friends and I went exploring....

Life has been a little busy. Last week was mid-terms! But I didn't even realize it was mid-terms until halfway through the week and I was like "Oh! That's what all these tests are." The test I was most concerned about was History! I have never been the best test taker in the world, but Mr....

There is one tradition that is very special and is a secret to the incoming freshmen!! It's such a wonderful surprise and that's all I am aloud to say. Hockey Day is a tradition that us Judson girls love.... Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST 177 Out of State Blog http://judson.edu/blogs/mary/index.asp?action=ind&pub_id=138      Howdy ya'll! (I'm trying to be creative when it comes to the greetings!) Anyway, I had a wonderful birthday! It began with a loud wakeup call from Gussie yelling "Happy Birthday!" I finally got to open the present my parents had sent! I was right!! It was perfume....

I'll only be a teenager for one more year... it's sort of freaky! I received a gift in the mail and I promised my mom I would not open it until my birthday tomorrow! I'm a master at guessing gifts so I tried not to even look at the pretty box when I hid it from myself in the closet....

It was completely unexpected because most of my friends were going home for Labor Day weekend and I couldn't find someone to drive me to Oregon. Thank the Lord for my dear friend Amanda who at the last minute invited me to her house!! I didn't realize how deprived I was in life until Sunday when I went four-wheeling!! It was So MUCH FUN!! I also had a blast watching the University of Alabama beat Virginia Tech!! ROLL TIDE!!         It's just amazing that I'm already heading into my fourth week at Judson College....

It's now been fourteen days since I moved in and WOW it's gone by very fast!! During the first week all us freshman girls were literally running around getting our classes sorted and preparing for a fun weekend!! Rose Sunday, which was first recognized in 1915, is one of many Judson College traditions and I was exceedingly proud to be a part of it! I also had an amazing time during Marion Matters! Judson gave us the opportunity to serve the community of Marion and I decided to help out at Perry Lakes Park!! I climbed a hundred foot birding tower and had an amazing time discovering this hidden park which is so full of life!!      Only twenty days until my birthday:) I'll be turning nineteen....
