One year ago...

So, today makes the year I packed my bags in Columbia, SC to move to Tampa, FL. It’s a happy and sad day for me. I’m happy due to the new opportunity and fun place, but sad to leave my friends behind. I don’t miss the city or job, just the people. Tampa is much more fun and better career advancement, but those two things can’t replace my memories I left in COLA.

Here’s my COLA family as I liked to call them; Brantley, Scarlet, Matt, Logan & Daniel.

The girls and I had so many wonderful times together; Olive Garden diners, Shandon Baptist Church on Sunday mornings, Hobby Lobby runs, shopping, Forever 21 trips, the pool time, Grey’s night, Carolina State Fair, and of course Little Black Dress Party.

We had such good times being busy bees running errands, getting dressed up, or just sitting around the house having girl talk. They definitely helped me through some ups and downs and I like to think I was a good friend to them also. Both of those ladies will make a wonderful wife to a LUCKY man one day. I miss you girls and hope to have pink time sometime soon!
Up next, Logan & Daniel. WOW, there is so much to say about both guys, but I won’t go there! Logan…well we faught like we are a married couple. I think it is one of those love/hate relationships. I promise to this date, he just says crap to get me all riled up, which doesn’t take much. All it takes from him is saying one negative thing about my Bulldawgs and I’m set off like a light switch. Or mentioning Ole Miss. GGRRRR!!! But at the end of the day he has been a great guy friend to me. Daniel…oh my where to begin….. well…let’s just leave it at he taught me many life lessons and more about myself that I didn’t want to accept.

MATT…what can I say…he was the ladies man…see for yourself!! The picture doesn’t tell lies! Matt is great! Although I knew him the least leaving, I do miss his company. We could talk SEC sports and not fight like Logan and I would, and I think we got a kick out of a GIRL talking sports with him. I’m not normal when it comes to my knowledge of sports, but at least I know it and proud of it. He’s a great friend! Oh and he has my taste of music! Good times!

To my COLA fam: it’s been one year; which is hard to believe, I miss each of you. Hope to see yall soon! You are welcome to TAMPA anytime!
