the game and randomness

I still cant believe that JMU actually beat Virginia Tech.
There are a lot of articles online about it- because of how big of an upset it was.. here's a good one though!

 I just love that VT paid JMU $450,000 to come there- and to lose in the first home game of the season!!

I am so glad that I got to be there, and even though it rained the entire time - it was worth every second!! My friend Katie and I were surrounded my Tech fans so that made it interesting! They didnt really have much to say with the way the game was going!


I just LOVE this picture of JMU's coach Mickey Matthews! He told one reporter that this was the biggest win in his professional career- and he coached JMU to a National Championship in 2004! its a BIG deal!

Grad school is getting more stressful and I have a crazy amount of work to do every day. I am definitely staying busy with that and then working 3 days during the school week. 
Class are really picking up and I am trying to absorb everything! It's overwhelming but I don't wish for a second that I could change direction and pursue a different career- so that is comforting!  ha 

also..
I hate that I pretty much never have time to read ya'lls blogs!   I loved sitting and reading through all your blogs this summer-  I just know that if I sit down and start reading the time will fly and before I know it I've been reading blogs for 2 hours! haha but I'm gonna try to catch up this weekend so expect some comments from me (:


now some advice ...Where do ya'll shop for professional and casual pants... I am strugglin to find some that fit good- I'm short so I need ones that come in petite/short...  Any suggestions on where I should look?!

Try New York and Company. They always have a variety of sizes and they are pretty good quality. If you sign up for their emails they send you GREAT coupons!

I've found some good ones at Kohl's. Good luck shopping! I'm short too so I totally understand what you're dealing with when it comes to pants shopping!
