Reading Week

This Post is a bit backwards..... Fall Break Re-Cap..... The seminary has a "fall reading week". This is a little different than the College's Fall Break. First, reading week is longer. Second, we had A LOT of work due post reading week. SO, During Reading week I spent a lot of time in the library, working on an OT paper, Creeds paper, Spirituality for Ministry Essay, and Church History Paper. Never fear, Rob got here late Wednesday night and I did play a little too. We had a lovely three days of fun with a trip to the Jack Daniels Distillery and also to Rock City. We also just had a lovely Sewanee Fog Day too.

Home Coming Weekend

Ah me oh my! Fall break has come and gone..... my how time flies! This weekend is full of Sewanee's Homecoming and it has been a joy to see so many familiar faces. The weather has a slight chill to it, but the sun is out and it looks like the football game will go on as scheduled. Sorry for the lack of updates.... schoolwork took over for a while! crazy like that! Hope all is well with you?!-- This is my sewanee bow-tie (tied it myself!)

Hey there!
Well, the semester is in full swing. I live in the library....and go home to walk the dog. This afternoon we had the first Theolog Intermural Football game. Needless to say the SAE's were younger, faster and unfortunately that translates to more points on the scoreboard too. And we all left the field to take Creeds tests and finish our studies. Fran McKendree is here this weekend, so i have split my time with the library and the dog..... fun fun fun... click on the link and you will see the pictures of the game!

Bridal Vail Falls

Well, we would call it more of a trickle! Rob came up for Matriculation (no theme going here i promise) and has been here all weekend which has been marvelous! He has kept busy while i have had reading to do and then more reading to do! Today we worshipped at Otey and then headed to Bridal Veil Falls for an afternoon hike (thank you Sewanee Magazine for all the directions and details i would have forgotten!)... It was lovely and fun and the dogs are now passed out!

Matriculation Day!

Matriculation ("transitive verb : to enroll as a member of a body and especially of a college or university" according to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary)...... August 28th 2008. Rob came up for our official signing of the book of the School of Theology. Sewanee is known for its traditions and this is one celebrates the installment of a new dean of academic affairs and the enrollment of all the new students this fall. SO, we lined up alphabetically with our sponsors (upper class seminarians) and signed our names in the book, shook the vice-chancellor's hand (a.k.a. the president of the college) and then sat back down. It was lots of fun and a wonderful dinner followed. Rob came up on Thursday night and is here until Monday morning....sooooo Grace the wondermutt has Aerial and Jolson to play with all weekend. Also- we got wireless finally installed in the house!!! YAHOO!

Kermit's 30th!

Ahhh the 3rd White Kid turns the corner... Dagny is the only one under thirty now... oh me oh my! Happy Birthday Kermit! (above Left to Right: Kermit, Mike and Amy)

Here in Sewanee Land the new freshmen have arrived at the university and there are more cars and PEOPLE on campus! Classes REALLY begin on Wednesday (underclassmen and seminarians alike!) and i already have 2 syllabi (is that the plural?!) and one homeworks assignment!

Home Home on the Range?

Yes this is a photo of my front porch and the DEER in the other yard. Grace does not know what to do with these creatures, thankfully she has not yet taken to chasing them down yet.
