Looking forward to....This Week

Before I dive into what I am looking forward too, a little recap of the previous week is needed. We went up north for a weekend in the Memphis 'burbs. Ben had manly time on Saturday with his friends in Oxford eating unhealthy, yummy foods and watching Ole Miss football. I spent the day with my mom shopping. That night, we spent it at the annual Mudbugs Festival benefiting the Palmer Home for Children. We had all you can eat crawfish, drinks and other goodies. There was great live music and an auction. We had a blast spending time with my folks and some of their friends. Sunday we BBQ'd it up to celebrate my cousin's visit. It was some really yummy food and good times.

Sugar rush is gone.


Now on to fun things:

1.) Lunch at Old Athens Grill. This happens in T-57 minutes. Who would not look forward to eating Americanized gyros? The girls in my class are taking our favorite professor out to lunch. It is one of our last hoorahs and eating is what we do best.

2.) Double Decker. I know, I know, I will not be in attendence this year due to some silly ceremony but I WILL be there in spirits. For those of you in the Memphis areas, drive down to Oxford and experience Double Decker. Great art, music, and food. Do I even need to mention that the corndogs will be in town. Yes, I am jealous of those who are going, therefore, pictures on Facebook people!

3.) White Coat Ceremony. After three hard-working and fun years, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This weekend, the Class of 2011 Doctor of Audiology will receive our white coats. Pretty. Scary. We still have a 12-month externship to complete before we get the AuD beside our name, but still are they really sure they are ready to turn us lose in the real world? Because this is such a "big" deal, family is rolling into town! I am much more excited about this. Ben's parents and grandmother are coming, along with my folks, grandmother, sister, brother in lawish, and niece. Family visiting = lots of yummy eating!

Yep, we have a pretty exciting week ahead. Hope y'all all have a fabulous week!
