Thanksgiving and Auburn Football

Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! We had a laid-back Thanksgiving with Luke's family down in Evergreen, AL, which was so wonderful. Then Mrs. Beth, Mr. Gary, Kyle, and Toria came back to Auburn with us for Thanksgiving night and the Iron Bowl. Luke and I were the only ones able to go to the game, but Kyle and Toria tailgated with us and walked around campus (long story, but Mrs. Beth and Mr. Gary were taking care of a flat tire, so they weren't able to participate).

Speaking of the Iron Bowl: Most of you know that I can be very nostalgic. Most of you also know that I've been itching to get out of Auburn for a while. While both of these are very true, I had no idea how bittersweet this last football game would be for me. Our last game as students - this is my 4th game against Alabama as a student, yet this was the first time I've ever had to listen to Rammer Jammer in Jordan Hare. But I couldn't be more proud of our Tigers. Yesterday, for the first time, it hit me - we're leaving soon. While pharmacy school has been so different from undergrad, I still love this place. And I'm definitely going to miss it. While most of you dealt with leaving several years ago, we're just now getting there. And it's going to be so much more difficult than I thought. There are so many great memories we've made here during these past 7 years. Yesterday was just the end of one of those eras - Auburn football as a student.
