Momma G's is Here

A staple for anyone who has ever visited, lived or gone to school in Auburn, AL has finally made its way to Homewood, AL. That's right, Momma G's is here!! Momma Goldberg's has found it's new home in downtown Homewood, right next to O'Henry's coffee shop. For those of you who are familiar with the area, it took the place of the Papa John's Pizza. Momma G's is "The home of the Momma's love" a sandwich with everything on it. They also serve build your own sandwich and so many other sandwiches, you are bound to find something you like. I will say that the Turkey delite is my choice of sandwiches. One of my favs at Momma G's is the Nachos. They are Doritos with melted pepper jack cheese and peppers for those of you who like to spice things up. This is a must try for all you first timers. So if anyone need a new place to grab lunch or dinner, my suggestion: Momma G's in Homewood!

This is my new home for the next 3 years! Welcome to the Physical Therapy Department of UAB! I know it might sound crazy, but i really do love it. I love my class of 40, which includes people ages 40something to my age and people from China and Canada. All I can say is that we are a very unique class. I am also enjoying Gross anatomy, oh and our Lab is wonderful, but i smell pretty bad afterwards. So if you cannot get in touch with me over the next three years or if my blog post are few and far between I am apologizing in advance. But don't worry Physical Therapy school is not all work and no play.

PT lab, oh and yes that is Julie

Is that Real?

"Is that thing real?" "Its Huge" " Where did yall get that?" So these are just a few of the comments we have received as people have entered our apartment over the past couple of weeks. The "it" or "thing" they are referring to it our Christmas Tree!! Complements of Steven's Christmas tree farm, I was able to bring it back from Selma,Al. I was determined to get a big, pretty tree this year, but my main goal was a "FAT" tree. And can i say by the pics you can tell, I did it.

The theme of our Christmas tree this year is, what else but Red and Lime green. I know it took a lot to convince Greer the pink just wasn't the right color to go on the tree, yet it looks great all over our apartment. I love you and I love pink and green, Greer. Well most of the specialty ornaments came from a great little place in Selma, called TUTU's. They have the best ornaments and Christmas decor, so if you ever come to Selma, visit. Well i hope that your tree brings as much Christmas joy as our does for our APT.

The Griswold Family Christmas Tree!!

One of my fav traditions in my fam, is to attend our annual Tree Trimming Weekend. For as long as I can remember my family has gone out to Steven's Christmas tree Farm to pick out that perfect tree. And no I don't mean one of those stands on the side of the road where the boy scouts put the tree in the back of your car. I mean a real forest see the pic to the left. There have been many fun times, many Griswold Family Christmas trees, and let us not forget the time when Logan drove the tree back on the top of his Blazer... there are no words to explain that. Well to say the least, we have made this a tradition and we all come down the first weekend in December to go to the farm and pic the perfect trees for Mom and Dad's house and now I get one for my own apartment. How can you beat a freshly cut Christmas tree. So here are a few pics of our adventure into the forest this year!!

Michael Cutting Down my Tree, what a great brother-in-law!

"Birfday" Time

Yes, its true, I just celebrated my 23rd Birthday! The night started out with dinner at Cocina Superior with some of the most amazing people in the world. Greer, LeLe, Dana, Bethany, Elysia, KK, and Trent were among the great people who attended my birthday. One of the wonderful surprises of the night was that Ruthie and Kitty stopped by to "Celebrate" with me too. Also I was surprised by Trent with tickets to the Colbie Calliet concert, it was great!! I had a super 23rd and i thank everyone who was able to share it with me!!

Lele, myself and Greer

Kitty and I, what a great surprise on my B'Day

Most definitely two of my favs, and Elysia! Of course she was late!

Welcome Back!!

Welcome back, welcome back, wel- come back!! Yes there should be music in the background and someone who can sing belting those lyrics, but for now the typing must do. If you went to Samford you must be thinking "Its not August" and its not time for "Connections." I will have to say I always enjoyed helping with the Welcome Back activities every year, thanks to my super involved friends, but even more than that I am so glad to "Welcome Back" FANCH!!! Yes, its offical Brittany Fancher Faison is back in the Ham and we are all so glad. If you do not know Fanch, then you are missing out on a part of life. She adds so much to our circle of friends which has not been the same since she married and moved to K'town last spring. I am so excited to have her back to be the extra spark in our lives. She is amazing and can basically go into any crazy situation and come out with everything being amazing. I have known Fanch since Freshman year and we have been good friends ever since. We have also shared so much over the years: Sigma Chi Sweethearts, basically a her room Soph. yr., and the joys of Chi Omega, so please join me in Welcoming Back

FANCH!!!!
