Jasmine Star & THON!

As many of you know, I am a Penn State Alumni! I am also a huge fan of our annual THON! Never heard of it? Oh let me quickly explain...Largest student-run philanthropy in the world! We raise a ton of money for awareness of pediatric cancer. PSU has helped many families and has brought a large amount of joy to many children. In fact,  many of the families attend the 48 hour dance marathon and cheer on the dancers.

A couple from the Philadelphia area contacted Jasmine Star to shoot their wedding..but had something special in mind. The bride asked if they could auction off a spot for a third photographer and 100% of all proceeds go to THON!! The couple are active participants with THON and both are medical students at PennState!  Long story short, Jasmine Star said yes and now the auction has begun!  Check out a few pics of this extremely generous couple. 

This story puts such a huge smile on my face...and makes my heart happy! 

By the way..the auction bid..is up to $2500.00!!!!

LETS GO STATE!

As many of my readers know...I went to Penn State! I have a huge heart for the blue & white and have soo many memories from a town called Happy Valley. Every time I see this commercial on TV I start smiling! There is just something about college football that makes me feel so young and happy!! I think Joe Paterno is hilarious in the commercial...especially at the end! I found a copy over at YouTube to share. (i believe this is last years) nonetheless you get the idea!


The Husband and I met at school and love to fly back to State College and simply walk around campus and reminisce. If you have been following, we incorporated a little PSU in our wedding day. Check out the post on our PSU wedding details! Below is a picture of us with the Nittany Lion!

It is unfortunate that we will not be able to attend any games this season...it will be the first time in...well at least 10 years. We were suppose to go to today's game but it just didn't work out. It can be frustrating living across the country at times ! There is just something about being inside Beaver Stadium..and the entire stadium is filled...with the student section packed wearing nothing but white (WHITE OUT!). The band is playing...and the air is fresh & crisp! Oh and did I mention that this all comes after the amazing tailgates!! Back in August, ESPN.com ranked us #5 for college tailgating! They don't call it Happy Valley for nothing folks! I found a picture from last year....we are ready to head into the game!

Are you attached to your college? Did you meet your Husband at school? Doesn't it make it just 10x's more sweeter to have that in common!!

Ya gotta love college football!!!
