day eight: a place i have traveled to

my family is not very

good about

taking 

vacations, if we do they are usually 

they are surrounded by diving meets or

sporting events that 

us kids are par-taking in

buttttt

two summers ago 

we got to experience 

BOSTON

kelly was playing in the national championship for youth soccer

so the shaffer family packed it up and headed to boston

it was crunk

as you can see we went to fenway

toured the park

took the boat tours

it was a great trip

ill definitely be going back

day seven: favorite movies

i am cliche

i love typical, easy to follow, love stories

the notebook 

is my all time favor

in fact i might just watch it tonight!

i also love the holiday

such a cool concept of a movie

anyone want to switch houses with me

and come live in birmingham??

i also LOVE

the blind side

ok i am truly obsessed with this movie

my friends and i went to memphis,

and we HAD to go by the Touhy's house

i wanted to ring the door bell and meet the Touhys

but this was the

closest they would let me get

we went to the school too

i felt like i was famous

 and the famous slogan

[its real-i thought hollywood had made it up]

also i love the movie 

harriet the spy

im late

ahh im sorry

i have two siblings

kelly and jj

here we are in boston

this is a typical picture of us

now to give you a little more info on them

kelly

shes hilarious

we are 16 months apart

she loves to make you laugh

she plays soccer

she is my best friend

my roommate

we have not always been the best of friends

when we were little we would get in the biggest fights

there were stitches, broken bones, and lots of hair that was pulled

my mom thought she would never see the day 

when we would be civil around each other

shes great

now jj

he just turned 16 

so he thinks he rules the world

he is living for the Lord

it makes me proud to see Bible verses all over his room

he sets an alarm to have a quite time

so grateful to have a brother like him

now 

he can be a brat

he is living like an only child now that kelly and i are gone

but 

he plays baseball and he's good

he is a diver

hes crazy

but i love him

these are my amazing siblings!

day four: my parents

my parents

meet them

they are great

the best parents in the world

my mom, jenny

is one of my best friends

she is a dental hygentist

she goes above and beyond each and everyday

i hope to be a mom just like her

my dad, jeff

he is a stud

olympic coach, ncaa coach of the year, sec coach of the year

blah blah blah

most importantly the most amazing humble, loving, kind

person i have ever met

i hope one day my husband acts just like my dad

thank you parents for teaching

and raising me

to be the person

i am

LOVE YALL

day three: first love

i love a lot.

i love lots of things.

friends, family, my God, and everything i am fortunate enough to have.

my first love is the relationship

i am in now.

its wonderful, fun,

and straight up amazing.

the first love i felt was from my family

twenty two years ago

they have loved me unconditionally each and everyday.

and i thank my family for teaching me how to love.

my fam has also taught me the unmerciful love

of our amazing and loving God.

the best love i could have ever been taught

a type of relentless love.

so in a nutshell:

i am in love [with many things]

ill continue to love

and im thankful for the everlasting love of the wonderful people around me!

love love love

day two: meaning of blog name

playingrownUP

the name of my blog, is somewhat a resemblance of me

i am in the working world but yet

feel like i am still in 10th grade

in a sense i am playing grown up

i definately do not act in mature ways

but yet i am in a business enviornment everyday

playing a role one day i hope to fulfill

so in a sense right now

i am merely playing dress up

everyday and attempting to playgrownUP

on a side note

we are about to start tailgating for the big game

whoop!

we had a blast last night

dancing the night away to the

wes lopper band

and

i know today will only get better

cant wait to watch the big game

and this guy

war CAM ealge!

hurry up 5!

im heading home today

and i can not wait to be back on the plains

war eagle!

saturday, hopefully we will be doing this

this is a big rivalry

not only for auburn football

but for my family

my uncle coaches at LSU

and it would be great to have bragging rights

for thanksgiving!

a swimming and diving dual meet today,

half marathon?

ok so i ran in

college

but today it came up about running a half marathon

let me explain

i have always and i mean always 

have said i would never 

run anything with the word 

marathon

in it

but you know i am turning over a new leaf

and starting to consider it

my roommates in auburn had said we would train for a full 

marathon

but that never happened

so me and two co workers are starting 

to train for the mercedes  half 

marathon

i am excited

but more worried about actually committing to this almost awful

task

i guess wish me good luck?

october

this sums up october perfectly.

hope yall have a great

weekend

go jump in a big pile 

of

leaves

love yall to the moon

amy

lately and i 

love it

i wonder how comfy it actually is

i love the old door for

a headboard

& for the weekend

i am getting to see one of my best friends get

married, and i can not wait

jess and i ran track together at auburn

and we have had some great

long runs together

happy hump day!

its such a beautiful day!

hope yall are having a great day

instead of giving myself reasons why i can't...

i give myself reasons why i can.

i sometimes feel that i always make excuses why i

can't do something

so

i'm turning over a new leaf

i will give reasons as to why i can do anything!

pillow talk

so...

last night kelly and i 

did this because neither of us could sleep

we pillow talked for hours in her room

we laughed till we almost cried

she told me all about bible study

her dreams

our wishes for when we are older

it was fun.

we made a 

list

of great things to do and

eat

and where we want to go

and see.

i loved every minute of last night

we also attempted to cook

it was bad

and made our stomachs hurt.

we ran together and attempted to conquer shawnT's

insanity

last night was great, makes me never want to grow up 

and makes we want to live with

my sister for evaaaaa

love yall to the moon
