almost!
We ALMOST bought this dog. The humane society said she was a lab with a little bit of chow. She was adorable and we wanted her to come home with us that very moment. Unfortunately we had to do a few interviews over the next week to get her and we could not drive back down to Auburn so we had to say goodbye. It was painful. We are still newlyweds and I am pretty sure getting a dog in the first year of marriage is a must. Why not her?!?
Happy Birthday Joe
Happy Birthday Joe! Auburn was fun, of course. So glad we got to spend time with friends! It was good to be back there but it makes me miss it soooo much. The boys made their food rounds for the weekend by eating a few lunches a day and a few late night meals. I was impressed with their endurance. The only food I needed was Fugi, and I ate my volcano roll and auburn tiger roll with a smile on my face! I am so glad that Jen and Joe are still there so we have more of an excuse to go visit. Man I love Auburn.

10 reasons it's a good day
1. We are leaving for Auburn today, War Eagle.
2. We are picking up Will and Mer on the way.
3. I've been trying to go without coffee but I caved today. Gotta have that caffeine!
4. Interview for a possible job this afternoon.
5. I get to see Jen and Joe tonight!
6. Going through a Nickelcreek phase again, and that music always puts me in a good mood.
7. I know that I am less than 24 hours away from eating Fugi sushi!
8. I did all of the laundry. Don't you feel better when that's taken care of?
9. It's really sunny outside.
10. I stopped by my parents' house and saw my Dad. That ALWAYS puts me in a good mood.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Jan update
I believe in a past blog post I said that I loved cold weather. Let me rephrase. I love cold weather for about 2 weeks, or when it produces snow you can ski on. That being said I am soooo ready for spring/summer. Today was pretty nice but I know it's gonna get cold again. I am really looking forward to bring back the flip flops. Washing so many pairs of socks is getting old. The only time I have to wash my socks in the summer is when I work out/wear tennis shoes and at the rate I am going there will be no socks to wash...shame on me. I also know that Ben is ready for the warm weather. He keeps on wearing his Red Bar shirt and talking about Destin so his mind is definitely at the beach.
We have been pretty busy since we got back from the trip. Ben is coaching the Huntsville JV lacrosse team. I know he's so excited about it and he will do a great job. Guess this means I get to spend my future Saturdays being the coach's supportive wife at tournaments. Does that mean I have to bring juice boxes and orange slices?? Last week I worked at the Huntsville Hospital apparel show and it wore me out! Over 50 hours in 4 days! But I was just grateful to have the opportunity to work. I still have not gotten a job. I interviewed for a position at an urgent care but never heard back from them. The interview went well and I felt confident leaving so it was discouraging not to hear back from them. Keep praying! I am also working on applying to a bunch of different programs, nursing and others, to start in the fall. I am so ready to go back to school. Actually, I am so ready to be finished with school and have my degree. We also are in the new members Sunday school class at Church and really enjoying it. I have been so blessed to have grown up in a church with solid doctrine and theology and it's exciting to continue that at my new church.
Last weekend we went to Birmingham to stay with Meredith and see Sean McConnell perform. Sean is one of my absolute favorite singers. I have no idea how such a powerful voice can come from a guy about my height. It was so fun to spend time with everyone. It was me, Ben, Meredith, Alan, Chris and Meredith's friend Jessica. She was cool, but I wouldn't expect anything less with a name like that! Unfortunately the place was not the best venue I've ever been to. I never actually feared for my safety but I sure was glad we had three boys with us. It was so good to spend time with Meredith's family. I enjoy our good breakfast talks every time I stay with them.
Last night we went to the UAH hockey game with the Calverts (minus Ben's mom). I should have counted how many mighty ducks references Ben and I made throughout the night. Everything from "it's knucklepuck time" to "make them make the first move Charlie". I also thought they were going to do a flying V every time someone had the puck behind the net. I wish! We also assigned names to the players according to which character they reminded us of. It was a good night.
Tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday and I don't have a huge opinion either way. I am choosing to go for the Cardinals because Caylen and David just moved to Phoenix. Unless Peyton Manning is playing then I usually don't care about the NFL. Hope everyone enjoys watching!

Days 6 & 7
Sorry it's taken me to long to update you guys on the last few days. I had carefully thought out and written the blog a few days ago but somehow lost it before I could post it. How annoying is that??
The last two days of skiing were my favorites, because Ben was with me the whole time! Like I have been saying, he's a natural. We went exploring over pretty much the entire mountain and did some hard blues. I almost took us down a few blacks that we probably would not have survived, but we made it!
One thing I love about Crested Butte is the Adaptive Sports Center. Towards the end of the week we started seeing more blind skiers with their guides and paralyzed children pretty much flying down the mountain. I love that! What a great program! I would love to work with a program like that one day and if it happens to be in Crested Butte...I wouldn't hate it! You should check it out. http://www.skicb.com/cbmr/mountain/adaptive-sports-center.aspx
Traveling home was a disaster. Never fly through Chicago in the winter. Delays, and then more delays made our travel time a good 13 hours on Saturday. Leaving was depressing enough, we didn't need that. But we made it and we are home!
Sorry, I realize this was not a very informative post but I am still angry about losing the one I wrote earlier. Keep up the prayers on my job situation!
