Auburn Homecoming

Yesterday, we went to Auburn's homecoming game versus Tulane. It was a great day for football. Accompanying us for our gameday drive were our friends, Rick and Janna Bearden (I wish Hanna and Emma could have come too!). They really helped make the 2-hour drive not seem so long at all.















Once in Auburn we all met up with our friends Ben and Dr. Amanda Amos, both Auburn Chemical Engineering graduates. Ben was my first roommate in Auburn and is pretty much a life-long friend of the Bearden's. I actually met Ben at Rick and Janna's wedding rehearsal. He and Dr. Amanda now live in Atlanta where Ben will soon (he hopes) finish at Georgia Tech and become Dr. Ben. Maybe they'll move to Birmingham at that time to be closer to friends and family.















After a 38-13 Auburn win, we all went to Buffalo Connection and watched the end of the Alabama/Tennessee game. Sorry Janna, I just had to mention it. Janna is a Bama fan, but we let her come along b/c she's actually a great Auburn fan when we're not playing her beloved (for whatever reason) Crimson Tide. Rick is one of the few Auburn fans I know who neither went to Auburn, lived near Auburn, nor had a close family member attend Auburn (there's probably a million Bama fans who fit that description). We're glad to have him!

It was a great day all around. Life is good.

Emily's Nursery

I know, it looks like an empty office. That's because it is for the moment. But soon, the elephant gray walls will be gone. The crimson futon is already gone. What a color scheme for the office! This room is long overdue for an extreme makeover. Agree? By this time next month there will be a light shade of yellow on the wall, and some new carpet on the floor. I hope Emily likes the room well enough to sleep for long periods of time in it, even though she'll probably spend the first few months in our room. We won't let that go on too long though. I don't want to end up on Nanny 911 with a 6-year old Emily and three or four of her brothers and sisters all sleeping in the bed with a pregnant Amy. Just kidding honey, sort of ;)
