Mississippi State was the first University to have a Barnes and Noble on it’s Campus.  It was the “test” Market for a Barnes and Noble on future campuses and it obviously went well!

Attached to our Barnes and Noble is the Cullis Wade Depot.  It was closed when I went by to take a picture, which was unfortunate, because I could have shown y’all something amazing!  The Cullis Wade Depot is home to 1,000 something clocks that Mr. Wade collected.  They vary from regular clocks to grandfather clocks.  If you ever have the chance to come to Mississippi State, you should definitely check out the Cullis Wade Depot Clock Museum.

  

Love some tailgating and friends!  Do y’all see my Mississippi Necklace?? I love it!

You see that tree?  Well there’s something super special about that tree in the Junction

The seed of this tree went to the moon aboard the Apollo XIV in 1971.  It was then brought to MSU and planted in our Junction.

There are many, many more things I’d love to share with you about my beautiful campus, but here are some of our treasures! I’m looking forward to sharing more exciting things throughout the months.

Yeah, I have to get the 1/2 Caff because I drink too much coffee and I figured that’s better for me!

So our topic of discussion this morning with my sweet friends Lauren and Kalyn:

What are you most thankful for so far this year?

I think we can all find things to be thankful for all around us.  I also think that sometimes it can be so difficult to narrow those things down into what we are thankful for more or less than other things.  I know for me, something that has played a huge role in my life that I didn’t really expect was blogging.  Just over these past 2 months (January and February), so many great things have happened because of my blog!

I am thankful for blogging, because:

Through my first giveaway, I met this wonderful lady who won

To sum it all up, in just these few short months, thanks to blogging, I have a whole new group of amazing women in my life that I look up to, that I laugh with, and that I spend time with each day because of their very own blogs.  I text, g-chat, and tweet with these women and I have found a wonderful place because of them and because of blogging.  So I am thankful for blogging, because it’s brought me farther than I ever expected to go and because of all the wonderful readers I have out there and the beautiful relationships I’ve had the privilege of making, I am ONE follower away from celebrating 150 followers.  Not that it’s all about followers, but it’s about being grateful for a wonderful community of friends and I feel like I’ve found just that!  It’s not fake, it’s not staged, it’s genuine community and genuine fellowship and it’s amazing that it’s come at such a perfect time in my life!
