Roll Tide, Give Blood, and Be Merry!!

I have been excited...like more than my usual...about football season every since Mark called me this morning and said that UPS was delivering season tickets today. I have been excited...but it has been taken to a new level today!! Mark better be glad that Team Fever was closed when I got off work! We are going to the first football game in Atlanta September 5th--and I am so ready. Mark and I have not ever been to the Georgia Dome...so we are excited about experiencing something new!!
I saw a LifeSouth bus at Walgreens near my house today, and I decided to go on board and donate some blood. I have never done this before today, and I am so glad that I did. Since finding out that I am O+, I have felt the urge to give blood. Hopefully, my blood can go to help someone in need. Even though this is such a small contribution, I instantly felt good after doing it!!
I am so glad that Mark is my husband. I know he thinks I am crazy sometimes....like when I called him today and told him that I wanted to go to Fan Day in Tuscaloosa this Sunday to get Saban's autograph. His response was---"You are such a little kid...we can take my helmet and have him sign that." That is what I'm talking about---he is such a great friend...and so much fun!! That is where the "Be Merry" part comes in. Live every day to the fullest!! Carpe Diem!! Do something that makes you truly happy today.
