Obama-Nation

I just took advantage of a great sale that went on yesterday at Digital Gravel. I got an email from DG saying that they will be having a 50% OFF the entire website for a 12 hour period for those people needing some gear for back to school. Since my check came in a few days earlier, it didn't hurt to purchase some stuff from their website. What I got was a steal... 2 tees and a hat for $35.50... can't beat that. =) I told $b about it. She knows wassup.

This Entry Is Way Overdue

Hey guys!! It's been a very long time since I last blogged. Most of you think that I'm still homesick because that was my last entry before I actually got busy. Just to let everybody know... I'm doing just fine. I'm in my second month of school and I'm lovin' it! I've made a lot of friends and I'm fitting in a-okay.

There are some ups and downs to being busy out here. I find myself forgetting about those who are important to me back at home. I'm trying really hard to become comfortable in my life here in Missouri and it leaves me little to no time to keep in touch with loved ones. But I want everyone to know that I'm going to make a conscientious effort to keep in touch with y'all. <-- (the south is getting to me. haha.)

We got our scholarship checks in last week and it's great to see a large sum of $$$ appearing out of nowhere in my bank account. Direct deposit is the best invention ever. And since I'm on a forever long mission to complete my room, I went and bought a whole bunch of stuff over the weekend to make myself more at home. My room is actually starting to look like a room. The only things I think I'm missing is another source of light, a dresser, and trim around the floor, windows and door. =) It's all coming along great. WALMART was my main contributor to my room looking good. Here are some videos that I uploaded on Vimeo that display before and after footage of my room. I apologize if that AFTER video is a little hard to see. The lighting in my room is horrible when it starts to get dark. Enjoy.




Over the weekend, We got a taste of Hurricane Ike. Nothing to serious but we had really strong winds that took out a few cars and our power was out all day Sunday. Here is what I woke up to...



Here is a little preview of my house of for the people back at home. It's a nice crib with 6 football players living in it. For some reason this house is referred to as the "football house" and rumor has it that we throw the best parties... I'm just throwing that out there. BANG!

I'm going to be dedicated to blog more often. But until next time... peace!
