  • what is this life. . . (from a grateful little spoonie)

    Some 25 years ago, high school senior Miranda saved my Mississippi State letters and goodies from trips over to visit campus in my scrapbook (that is now a bit, umm, aged – like its owner. hehe). Later, I would be so upset when I didn’t get to go – and I certainly could have never… Read more

  • wrapping it in maroon and white.

    School is officially out for Christmas break and with it my first full year at State is complete – and what a year it has been. ❤ When I started, I wrote about my excitement at the second chances I never expected to have to be a Bulldog. This was my post on orientation day… Read more

  • profound gratitude for this first.

    Way back in 1997, when I graduated high school, I wanted to go to Mississippi State – and had made several visits and had scholarships – but life got in the way and it just didn’t work out. I was crushed. (I dug out my senior year scrapbook and found these.) Of course, back then,… Read more
