The Delta Bucket-List, in more ways than one...


"I learned the path to Heaven,
Is full of sinners an' believers.
Learned that happiness on Earth,
Ain't just for high achievers.
I've learned; I come to know,
There's life at both ends,
Of that red dirt road."
Brooks & Dunn, Red Dirt Road

First- Just realized I never posted the pictures! I'll post those tomorrow!  This is going to be a quick post as I have to be up and on a bus at 5:55am tomorrow...can we say "Holy cow that's early?!!"  That's going to be my morning ritual from here on out! Ahhhh. 

On the flip side, I received some Delta knowledge today, of all sorts!  Apparently when you move to the Delta you do at least one, if not all of three things: (my thoughts beside)

1-Get a dog. (not so bad, 4 legged friends are good company)
2-Run a marathon. (time to get back in shape, get me a 26.2 sticker finally?)
3-Get married. (not sure how this will pan out for me? maybe I'll meet someone, running perhaps?, haha-Mrs. Eubanks will be happy!)

I have #1 covered with my handsome dog Toby and my two wonderful cats (even though they aren't dogs, they count!) and there is a Mississippi River Marathon February 9, 2013 that I think I'm gonna start training for. (Funds are donated to TFA, as we are a Non-Profit Organization.) The getting married part... a little in the distance, haha, though no worries, you all will certainly be informed, obviously!! =)

As for the rest of the day, we had a barbeque on the campus with the other regions and then had community groups this evening.  I chose to go to the Delta Bucket-list group.  There we got a quick run down of the Delta itself and were each given 4 places to check out by the end of Institute.  I was given 2 different bbq places, a local bookshop/cafe, and Ground Zero (a local Blues Club owned by Morgan Freeman).  We will also receive an email soon with a list of all the places they passed out and will be getting a mixed cd of Mississippi Music.  I thought it was a pretty good deal!

Anyhow, that brings me to now, and 10pm is gonna have to be bedtime-though I'm for once not the least bit sleepy.... oh well!

And hey-any suggestions for quotable music would be great-maybe I'll use it on my Blog!

Okay, really, I'm done! Later Gators.

  2. I commented once thru my google account, but not sure if it's showing up or not. I am reading your blog every day or two. Sounds like you're extremely busy...but I guess that makes the day go by.
