I'm such a blog slacker

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great Christmas and a great New Years! I am such a blog slacker....I'm sorry! I was just trying to enjoy as much time at home as I could so I never quite got around to blogging as much as I wanted to :( This week I'll have some posts on some Christmas gifts I got as well as some pictures of my vacation.

New Years started out great for both my Gators and Bulldogs!

Florida played in the Outback Bowl in Tampa and scared me to death almost the whole game! But the Gators pulled out a 37-24 victory over Penn State and sent Coach Urbs out on a high note! It's great to be a Florida Gator!
Mississippi State played Michigan in the Gator Bowl in fabulous Jacksonville (I'm not biased I swear :) ) and absolutely dominated them. A 52-14 victory sure made the 10 hour ride back to Starkville a little sweeter.

I'll be posting my New Years Resolutions as well later on this week.

Sorry for the slacking! :)

A Floridian Christmas Tree in Mississippi!

I was thrilled to pieces the other day to come home and find this gem waiting for me:

A light-up palm tree!

I know how silly they are but I love them. I have no idea why. So when I was in Bealls Florida in October, I told my mom how much I wanted one and she sent one to me last week!

So being Christmas season, I decided to decorate it:

Merry Christmas y'all!

A lovely gold sparkly hummingbird and my "We wish you an MSU Christmas" ornament

I have several others on there including a Gator, a Bully, and some orange and blue streamers!

I also got this fabulous Christmas palm tree 40% off at Bealls in October. Yay for bringing a touch of Florida to Mississippi!

In other news...my Florida Gators are going to the Outback Bowl in Tampa this New Years Day, which is exciting, and my Mississippi State Bulldogs are going to the Gator Bowl in my fabulous hometown of Jacksonville the same day!

I thought Florida would go to the Gator Bowl, SC would go to the Outback Bowl, and Mississippi State would go to the Chick Fil-A Bowl...I feel like Miss. State deserved a "better" bowl than Florida (I hate to say it sorry Gators I love y'all!) since they finished 8-4 and Florida finished 7-5. But hey both of my teams are bowl bound so yay! Who were y'all rooting for in the SEC Championship? I personally was going for Auburn. I love seeing SEC teams in the National Championships!

Happy Monday!
