What's the Good Word?!

TO HELL WITH GEORGIA!!

It is done. The streak is over. And this Canadian is so excited for her Yellow Jackets. Seven years is a long time to deal with the taunting of those Bulldog fans... a long time! Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the following:

It's up with the White and Gold, down with the Red and Black
Georgia Tech is out for the victory.
We'll drop the battle axe on Georgia's head,
When we meet her our team is sure to beat her.
Down on the old farm, there will be no sound,
Till our bow wows rip through the air.
When the battle is over, Georgia's team will be found
With the Yellow Jackets swarming round!!

Blue Devil Born and Blue Devil Bred!

I feel old. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I graduated from high school. TEN YEARS. Really?! Wow. I had the joy of travelling back to good ole C-town this weekend for my reunion... an event I had certainly been looking forward to. I don't make it home nearly as often as I'd like, so knowing that so many of my old friends would be in the same place at once was really exciting. It was a jam-packed, fun-filled weekend. Friday night we all met up at Loco's for some mingling, then a bunch of us headed down to The Loft to drink the night away. Saturday morning started with a hangover (!) followed by Family Day in the park, where we met some of my classmates' sweet little babies and played relay races that made us all feel like kids again. After fun in the park, we headed across the street to dear ole Columbus High School where we enjoyed a lunch catered by Smokey Bones BBQ in the 'Devil Rock Cafe'. And then we got to take a tour of the school... where we bombarded the band room, gathered again on the stage, and stood in awe of the new Art wing. The reunion festivities were concluded Saturday night with dinner at the Trade Center, which holds so many memories for all of us as that was always the site of Magnet Socials and Prom.

It was an amazing weekend! While a few friends were missing from the action, it was truly so enjoyable to have everyone back in one place. Here's to hoping it's not another 10 years before we all get back together again!!

Oh Baby!

Not mine... someone else's! Today was spent preparing for and hosting a baby shower for Chardae, one of Savannah's teachers at school. The shower was from 3:00-6:00, so I was go-go-go from 8:30 until about half an hour ago. I'm pooped! Thank goodness the weather cooperated and we were able to have the shower outside! I think Savannah thought this party was as much for her as it was for Chardae... she certainly garnered enough attention! Savannah was especially excited because one of her favorite friends, Avery, came over with her mom.

It was an all-around good time with some ladies I see on a daily basis but don't ever really spend time outside of the world of day care with. On one hand, it was strange to be the one hosting the shower... I was truly an outsider. On the other hand. Savannah's been at the day care for so long that she knows everyone and everyone knows her... our family feels like a part of their "family". Again, I'm grateful for beautiful weather, a friend that could entertain Savannah, and some yummy food. :)

Oh, and since we were all dressed up for the shower, there was an opportunity for some partial family photos after it was all said and done...
