    Five on Friday

    Woohoo! It’s finally Friday and I’m doing my first Five on Friday. I know I’m a little late in the game but at least it’s making it up on the blog before midnight! {One}I got this baby on Monday and I love it. After a few weeks of research, I decided on the Canon Rebel T3i. Now, I’ve just got to learn to use it. {Two}This is my niece Taylor aka Tater. I’m not sure why but I’ve always called her that. Maybe because she looked so much like a tater {potato} when she was a baby with her bald headed self. She was staying with my parents last night…

I spent a few days weeks reading up on which one would be best for me.  My bestie, Jessica, bought the Nikon D3200 a few months ago and highly recommended it.

    Fear

    Whew…I’m exhausted. I’ve been running like a mad lady all weekend, which is no different than the past couple weekends that I mentioned here and here.  Saturday we spent the entire day in Clemson tailgating and watching the game. It was so hot. I wasn’t expecting it to be in the mid-80’s in the middle of October. It felt good under our tent with the fans going but was a little miserable once we got in the game, sitting directly in the sun. Plus, Clemson didn’t play so well the first 3 quarters. I’m pretty sure every Clemson fan was starting to sweat that we’d lose to Boston College. Thank…
