Monday, Monday.......

This pretty much sums up how we're feeling around here today. Poor Caleb barely made it through lunch before he fell asleep!

First let me say thanks for all your comments about the makeup issue. Emma read your comments over the weekend and we've had some good conversations about it! She is no hurry to begin wearing it and I'm so grateful.

Secondly, our family and church has been under some serious spiritual warfare since last week. I don't want to share any details but I'll just say that God has shown Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to Him. (2 Chron.16:9a)
If you think about, please say a prayer for us. Steven started a series of messages 2 weeks ago on the armor of God and we know that what we've experienced is not coincidental.

Now on to the fun we had this weekend!!!!!

Saturday was Picture Day at UGA. This is an event where fans can get autographs from all the athletic teams. Of course, most people are there to meet the football players. Most of the athletic teams were there from 1-3 and then the football team was there from 3-5. Last year, we were able to get autographs from lots of the football players but this year was a different story!! I guess that what happens when you're ranked #1 in the preseason and you have a possible Heisman winner. We at least got autographs from the linebackers and special teams (kickers). Some friends of ours got in the line for the runnning backs (specifically Knowshon Moreno's line) at 1:15 and by 5 they hadn't reached the players so they didn't get anybody's signature!

Mia, Emma, Dougie, Holton, Haven, Chaz and Max waiting on the players to arrive!

This is wait Caleb
did while we waited!

Ok, I'll stop with the pictures. I thought I had one of Emma with the National Champion GymDogs but I guess I didn't get it! : (

I hope you had a great weekend and have an even better week!

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good. Genesis 50:20

You can't spell Sugar without UGA!!!!

If any of you have known me for any length of time, you know that my family and I are huge bulldog fans. And those of you who have known me since I was little, know that this has been a life long love for me! But I have to admit, at the beginning of the game, I was sure wishing that someone else was playing Hawaii. I love to root for the underdogs, and I was conflicted in my emotions. I, of course, wanted Georgia to win, but I also wanted Hawaii to complete their perfect season. And then when you hear about all that Colt Brennan has been through and how he's turned his life around, I wanted this to be a great final game for him. But on the flip side, UGA has several players who were playing their final game as a Bulldog, so what's a girl who loves the bulldogs but also has the God-given gift of mercy to do?

Well, thanks to Hawaii's #29 Keenan Jones, it didn't take me long to get my emotions straight! When He took that unbelievably cheap shot on one of my favorite's, Mikey Henderson #27, a senior playing his very last game as a bulldog, their was no more thought of Hawaii's perfect season. If that's how you want to play, then sic' em dawgs and show them beach boys how it's done in the SEC!!!!

(Yes, I have the gift of mercy but I also have a very competive streak, go figure!)
And as many of you probably already know, UGA 41 - U. of Hawaii 10

Glory, Glory to Ol' Georgia, G-E-O-R-G-I-A!!!!!!!
