Snow....in Georgia?!?!?

First let me start by saying that I have never seen someone get as excited about the CHANCE of snow as Jennifer got last week. She was pumped that it might snow. Of course, being a member "Gloom and Doom" as I have been described, I said it would not snow more than an inch - if any! Well if you combine the two dustings we got, we might have topped an inch....but I doubt it!!

Anyways, Saturday turned out to be a ton of fun. Sometime right around noon or so we headed over to Craig and Kim's to play with Sara and Davis in the snow. What I thought would be a relaxing day whatching kids in the snow turned into an all out assault by 3 adults on an army of kids from the nieghborhood. Craid, a nieghbor of his and I started a snowball fight with what turned out to be about 15 kids (anwyere from 5 to probably 13 years old). I tried to take it easy on the little kids, but the bigger kids were letting us have it...so naturally we let them have it right back.

Now, the best part was watching Jennifer get nailed with one snowball after another. When we got to Craig and Kim's, Jennifer declared that Craig was going to get it. As any younger sister should know, that declaration opened the door for the older brother to let her have it. Within about 2 minutes of being outside, Craig had Jennifer pinned in the snow and she got to taste the snow for the first time in years. Little did she know, that was not the end of it. She was pelted with several snowballs over the next hour or so.

It was a lot of fun, I only wish that we really could have seen the 5" of snow that the "experts" (a term which I use very lightly) said we would get.

My new hobby

It seems that I come up with a new hobby just about every couple of months. My most recent obsession is photography. I took some pictures at Christmas and then did some photo editing and here are some of the ones I like (most of these are pictures of my cousins).

Happy New Year!

It has been a while since I posted anything. In the time between now and the last post we have had Christmas and New Years. Jennifer and I had a lot of fun over Christmas seeing both of our families a lot. With my family, Christmas comes with a lot of food - and I am not just talking about on Christmas Day. We generally start eating on the 23rd and stop sometime right after Christmas :) This year was different because my family that lives in New York could not come down. If I have my thinking right, this was the first year in something like 18 years that they have not been down here for Christmas. Anyways, Santa gave me a GPS for my truck and he also gave Jennifer a pink sapphire and diamond necklace.

We spent New Years over at one of Jennifer's sorority sisters' house. Typically we don't do too much for New Years, but this year we decided to hang out with Kimberly and Tyson and several other couples and it was a lot of fun. We ate at Ted's Montana Grill. I love that place. They have bison burgers which I love!

Now that the new year has started, I guess there is not much I can say about what all has gone on so far. Jennifer is back to school and I am back at work. It will not be long and we will have been married for 2 years. I know, it is crazy to think it has been two years already. It seems like it was just a fews month ago.....Oh well, lets hope this year is as good as the last!

Go Dawgs!!!

Being that this is our first post, what better way to start it off than to talk about a little Georgia football. We made it to two games this year. The first game was November 10 against Auburn. Going into the game Coach Richt asked that all of the fans wear a black shirt to the game. He said that the seniors on the team wanted to have a "Blackout."

It took a little convincing to get Jennifer to wear black. She tried the use the "I don't have anything black to wear line." Once we were at the game we tailgated with her brother and his friends and we also meet up with a few of our friends.

The game started off great with the players running out in black jerseys. It was the first time that they have worn black jerseys and it was one of the most exciting things I have seen. It was also very loud in the stadium as everyone was jumping up and down while screaming due to the excitement.

The game was a ton of fun. It was close through halftime, but midway through the third quarter the Dawgs pulled away and ended up with a big win for the second year in a row.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the big win against Auburn, we went to the Kentucky game the following week. I had 4 tickets so I took Grant (big Kentucky fan) and my sister. This was the first UGA game for Mary Evelyn. We also meet our cousin Rebecca at the game. The weather much very chilly and the game was at 12:30pm. The 12:30 games are never as exciting as the later games, but no matter what time this game was it was impossible to match the excitement from the "Blackout."

The game started off terrible for UGA. Grant was thrilled with the start because he saw Kentucky go up 10-0 and there was a glimmer of hope that the Cats could pull off a big win against UGA for the second year in a row.

Luckily for Jennifer and me, the game was much different in the second half. Georgia got a comfortable lead so I attempted to explain some of the game to Mary Evelyn. I was teasing Mary Evelyn because I'm sure it is tough to be around 95,000 screaming fans when you are not 100% sure what is going on. Jennifer and I were very happy that my brother and sister could go to the game with us. It was a lot of fun and I hope we can do it again next year.

Now that the season is over, I can say that we - well more me than Jennifer - are pleased with Georgia's season. We beat our 3 biggest rivals (Georgia Tech, Florida and Auburn).
