Hello Folks,
What a weekend. We started the weekend at my sweet Mother-in-law's on Thursday for a "Young" Thanksgiving. Man, the food was great and it was nice to see everybody. Thursday night a few friends stopped by and we watched Texas/A&M.
Friday morning I woke up way too early. I guess I was too excited. We had an "Iron Bowl" breakfast at my grandmother's since D and I didn't eat with her on Thursday. After that DeAnn and I said our goodbye's. I went to Wynn's and she went to Jerry's. I can't handle those people during the game.
The game was interesting to say the least. AU had a great game plan and with a Bama defense that was full of turkey made all the the right plays and owned the 1st quarter. I'm not gonna give a play-by-play because you saw it and DeAnn would get mad. But as Eli said as the clock showed zeros "The State of Alabama is once again crimson".
After the game I did go to Jerry's to see everybody. The crowd on both sides was pretty subdued and a little shocked I guess, because most of the talk was about Tiger Woods going to Nascar and not the Bama game.
Saturday we were all very lazy. DeAnn, Jerry Blake and I watched football ALL day and put the Christmas tree. I was nice just to hang out a little.
Sunday I got up and went to Ham. After Church I picked up around the house and we decided to go see "The Blind Side". I would recommend everyone go see this movie it was very good. I expected it to be good but it was better than that. It put such a great feeling in my heart to top off a great weekend.

Tuesday of Iron Bowl week
Good Morning All,
I hope everybody had a great weekend. We did, but it was so long
Thursday I met Reese in Mobile. We had tickets to see Jamey Johnson at the Saenger downtown. If you want to hear Jamey Johnson buy his cd. He has the stage personality of a letter opener. Reese and I had a great time seeing each other and catching up. After driving all night back home I pretty much rested on Friday.
Later Friday afternoon, Mom, Dad, and I left to go to Tuscaloosa. We stopped in Troy to support Roland Jones and his CCA Cougars, but our cheering wasn't enough. Congrats on a good season coach. We got to Reese's and toured the mansion and went to bed.
Saturday we got up and went to the Bama scrimmage against UTC. We had a great time, but there wasn't much to see. That's a good thing though. We left at the half and drove to Philadelphia, MS to the Ruddocks celebrate Amy's 21 birthday. We ate looked around a while and drove back to T-town. We had a great time but it was a super long day.
I really hope everybody has a great Thanksgiving week. I know it is pushing 2 years since my accident, but not a day goes by that I don't think about how lucky I am am to have friends and family like you. I thank the good Lord for it everyday. THANK YOU again.

Thursday
Hey Guys.
I'm sorry that blogs are coming so slow, but that is kind of how my life is right now. We are all but through with the house and are doing things as they come up.
Yesterday I went to Montgomery to AAL. My leg has been making some weird noises and it has been bothering me. It is purely cosmetic and nothing can be done short of making a new socket. This one fits well so I don't want to do that unless I have to. So if you are around me and here strange creaking noises while I am walking its just my leg.
While in Montgomery I stopped in at HealthSouth to check in on the crew. Everything seems to be going well and everybody was good. Its nice to see those folks and not be sweating or breathing hard.
Last night we went to Enterprise to a reception for Tom Anderson who is running for DA. Tom is a family friend and we are all pulling for him. Hopefully we can get him in office. It was fun and great to see he and Christina.
I am going to see Jamey Johnson tonight at the Saenger? in Mobile. It should be a great show.
This weekend we are going to T-town to see Reese. I am excited about seeing her new house. It should be a fun time. Well that gets me caught up I think.

Mostly moved in
Good Morning,
I know that Manana doesn't mean one week later, but you know how it goes.
Anyway, after the show in Vegas on Saturday night everyone was worn out so we all went to bed pretty quick. Robyn had a 6:30 flight so she left the hotel around five. Our flight wasn't until 11 so we had time to kill. One of my biggest problems in my life is the last day of a vacation or the few days following getting back I just miss the excitment of the trip. This trip was no different. We planned this is in June and had been waiting and anticipating. Now it was ending and it had been so much fun and i was think "What do I do now?". Of Course, we get back and we are in full blown move mode so that depression ended pretty quickly.
In the last two weeks we have moved from Montgomery. Partially moved to Dad's and lived in two rooms waiting for the floor guys to finish up. While we were waiting on the floors, Uncle Daniel help with a little pressure washing on Friday. Doing anything with him is always fun and interesting. Thanks for the help Unc. Friday night we went to Elba's playoff game. They won big and will play Washington County in Elba this Friday.
Weeks ago I planned to watch the LSU game in Dothan with Uncle John, Aunt Jenny, Robert and Kathy. The timing was pretty bad, but I wanted to go anyway. Dad decided to go and we left Elba around 9:30. Anytime I am around that Dothan bunch it is always a good time and Saturday was no different. We watched the game at Robert ad Kathy's and had good food and fellowship. Bama won and confirmed a trip to Atlanta. RTR. I think Robert liked the artichoke the best. Sorry we left so early after the game folks, but we knew Sunday was going to be long.
AND IT WAS. We started around 9 moving furniture and boxes. Then it was hanging blinds and doors. I think we finally quit close to 4. I was in bed by 8.
I believe we are all caught up and as soon as Reese comes home I will get some pictures on the blog. I do not know how to upload them on here. Sorry, hopefuuly it won't be long
Teddy I hope everything goes well with your knee. We are praying for ya.
Happy reading and Fins Up,

We live in Elba
Hey Guys,
I know it has been two weeks since I have written, but we have been on the go since we stepped off the plane.
First of all. Vegas was perfect. We all had a wonderful time although nobody struck gold. We got out there Thursday about lunch and got settled in. Dad, Jerry, and I watched the Yankees game later in the afternoon. Even though my Yanks lost it was a fun time.
The next morning we went to Hoover Dam. This was not high on my priority list but I am so glad we went. It is an incredible sight especially when you think it was built 80 years ago. We got back to Sin City Friday afternoon and rested a little. Later, Reese went to see Bette Mildler and D and Robyn went to O a Circque De Soliel? show.
Saturday we just eased around that morning while we were gearing up for the Bama/Tenn game. It had a happy ending, but got real stressful towards the end. Later we had dinner at Fix in Bellagio. After that with the help of Mr. Bert Crowe we saw George Wallace at the Flamingo. It was a great ending to a to the night and trip. Thanks Mr. Bert for all the hospitality. This was my second venture to Vegas and both were more than incredible. Both parties couldn't have been better. Thanks for the trip guys.
I will continue the Blog manana.
