your first "image of the day" post. aka: 9 years in the making

So i did it! i managed to get a picture from yesterday JUST to put it on the blog. and here it is. . .
Now the explanation: this is me in my gamecocks t-shirt. it is undeniably my favorite t-shirt and THAT my friends, is what has been 9 years in the making. i bought this shirt when i bought my textbooks at south carolina my FRESHMAN YEAR. and that was 9 years ago. since then it has been worn to about 70% of the south carolina games i have attended (football, basketball, baseball, and maybe a soccer game?) and its not just a game shirt, its an everyday shirt. this t-shirt is the ONE out of my whole basket of t-shirts that fits perfectly - not too snug, not too baggy, perfect length, perfect sleeves. and honestly, all my love and wear and care are starting to show. its got the slightly freyed collar and a few mysterious stains. but its just so soft, and has the gamecocks on it. it shall never be replaced.  on to other questions. . . 

you may ask "emily, why were you wearing this particular t-shirt last night?" and i will tell you. the husband man bought us tickets to the SEC tournament! and last night carolina played the tide. and you know what? we won. and all 20 carolina fans in the hoover met rejoiced. well, as much as you can rejoice at 2 in the morning when the game was wrapped up in the 11th inning by a 4 run streak by the gamecocks.  i'm so tired right now.

so to sum it up, here's my 5 things from last night:
5. glad to see the shirt still has it
4. even at the ripe old ages of 23 and 26, sara and i will still gross people out with tmi about rotting toenails.
3. we got to see a bama coach get ejected from the game. all of you who left in the 9th missed quite a show
2. in birmingham, bama fans far outweigh the carolina fans (yes, so obvious, but seriously it was baaaad)
1. i really DO have a thoughtful husband.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COCKS!
