caitlin's confessions: Day Two: Favorite Season and Why?

Well, I guess my favorite season is a toss up between summer/fall/winter. HAHA. I know it's 3 of the 4, but there are things about each season that are very appealing and important to me. Let's start with summer..

Oh summer..I love summer first and foremost because I live in THE most beautiful part of the country, and so Lake Norfork is a necessity..as is the river. My parents have a boat, so we spend almost everyday on the lake, tubing, skiing, and just chillin' out. I love lake days! We also love to float the Buffalo, so we spend a few days a summer out on it. I also love the summer time because some of my best memories are from church camp. I used to spend a couple weeks out of my summer camping at Camp Tahkodah. After I out-grew the camping age, I went back as a counselor. Best summers of my life. The summer before last I was a youth intern at University Church and absolutely had the time of my life..swimming parties, movies, mission trips, VBS, ice cream dates, Monday Night girls nights, Sidewalk Tuesdays...and the list could go on.

Counselors from 1st session, Camp Tahkodah 2008. The best ever.

Mason and I @ Houston Impact VBS! Mason was the best intern partner; I love him! :)

Two of my silly, youth group girls @ the Demi Levato Concert..they made summer 2009 amazing.

I love the fall, too! Fall = FOOTBALL SEASON! I get so excited after school starts, because that means college football isn't too far behind! I had the opportunity to see 3 Hog games this season, and they were an absolute blast. I saw the Razorbacks ALMOST beat Alabama, saw them in Dallas play A&M, AND I saw them crush Vandy @ homecoming. I'd LOVE to go to the Sugar Bowl..too bad tickets are out the roof.

WOO PIG SOOIE!

Winter..oh, winter. In high school I loved winter because that meant basketball roadtrips. Winter time meant conference season, and our closest conference game was Searcy..2 and a half hours from MH. I loved getting out of school early and spending it with my teammates. One of my favorite "winter" moments was when we played @ Cabot, my junior year. Our game was supposed to be on Friday, but it snowed..and if anyone knows anything about MH, we shut our town down with even one flake of snow. So, we waited in the lockerroom to hear the verdict..and we were told it was canceled. I was so upset. We were SO prepared..we were going to beat Cabot for the first time ever. We were told it would be played the next day, if all went well with the weather. The next day was Saturday, and a bunch of us were taking the ACT. As soon as the ACT was over we got on the bus. It was a long trip to Cabot, but we were focused. I can't remember what the half time score was, but 2nd half we came out with a vengeance. There were .6 seconds left when one of my senior teammates got fouled. 1-in-1. Makes the first, misses the 2nd (thanks Mac). 65-64 Cabot. My teammate got the rebound on Mac's miss and tried to go up with it, but one of Cabot's players literally jumped on her back, no call, Cabot wins by one. And if that isn't bad enough, my dad gets THROWN OUT for telling the ref he was terrible. Yep, it happened. Anyway, that was probably WAY, way too much info for this blog, but I kinda have a love/hate relationship with that story. :) Last but certainly not least, I love COLLEGE BASKETBALL! It's in it's prime in the winter, and it's my favorite. I'm hoping this winter will be the best, and that I open some tickets for Christmas! I can dream, can't I? :)
