Weekend shows
On Friday morning I had my follow-up appointment with my surgeon. I really liked this doctor for reasons not limited to the fact that his first name was Jean-Claude.
I'm back! (Minus one organ)
I had this idea recently that I should start a blog.
Then, somewhere in the back of my mind, I had this faint memory of already having done that once before.
Guys - what in the world? I guess I took a blog break?!
Things have been pretty run-of-the-mill around here, really.
Butcher this bunch of buffalo
Despite what this blog might show, our beloved Eagles are still going strong! I think I failed to post Daddy's videos for the past couple of weeks. THE SHAME. I will likely go back and post all the week's videos that I missed, but like our men in blue - I am forging ahead.
A Very Merry ZTA House
My trip to Athens last month did nothing but make me crave more time in The Classic City. November's visit was all about this...
But last weekend's trip was for an entirely different purpose. I handed in my blue and white pom poms for these babies...
Making Cookies
Once upon a Thanksgiving Break, a little girl came home from college.
She was cute.
But also sexy.
During the break, her family and friends did their best to keep her entertained. But even still, sometimes she found herself bored and not knowing what fun thing to do next.
She was confused.
Just a little more turkey
Even though Thanksgiving was over on Thursday, there was one more little turkey coming to town on Saturday.
1Thanks Given
We had a great Thanksgiving!
It turns out that my boss is really into letting us off early from time to time, and she really enjoys doing so on the day before holidays.
Athens, GA
If you watched my dad's video from last week, you know that the Eagles (and subsequently the Tysons) went on a little road trip this past Saturday!
Every four years, our Eagles take on the Dawgs at Sanford Stadium.
8 years ago, I cheered on the Eagles as young and spry college student at GSU.
Run 'em on outta here
It is almost time for another Saturday at Paulson, but I need to share the joys and trials of last week!
Right before the BIG App State game started this past Saturday, a fellow fan who sits next to us in the stands asked my dad how he was feeling.
Get on 'em and stay on 'em
There's a little game going on tomorrow. The fists of those with blue blood clinch instantly at the mention of it.
App State is rolling into town. We aren't keen on App State, I will go ahead and tell you. Generally speaking, I am sweet person. Agreeable. Unoffensive. A peacemaker, even.
GATA
Big Al isn't quite sure of the point he is trying to make in this week's commercial, but I the point I'm trying to make is it's another great day for Eagle football, another great day for a win, and another great day in which to excel!
GO EAGLES! BEAT CHATTANOOGA!
Eagles and Blue Devils
It was a busy week around here and we took it upon ourselves book-end it with an equally busy weekend.
2Defend this house
Headed out the door to cheer on those Eagles! Gonna be a good one!
GO EAGLES! BEAT WOFFORD!
Maul these mutts
Saturday = Another day at Paulson.
Saturday = Another day cheering on those Eagles.
Saturday = Another day to eat more food in one sitting than some would think humanly possible.
Saturday = Another day watching them throw that tater ball.
Saturday = Another day in which to excel.
Looking back
We are just a couple days away from another GSU home game, which is hard to believe since we are still coming off the fun of last week's match-up at Paulson.
We had some special visitors in town!
They got home right in time to catch Big Al's commercial running on TV Friday night.
Pulverize these parakeets
Well things didn't go quite like we planned a couple of weeks ago at the Citadel. But, we are dusting off our feathers and moving on to another day, people!
This new day brings a new commercial and true to form, Big Al is pretty revved up about the whole thing.
Next Stop: Matthew and Larsen's
After joyfully spending Saturday afternoon with a cute, squishy, and perfect new baby (and his sweet parents), I hit the road for Part Two of the weekend.
Britt, Earle, and Andrew just happen to live an hour or so from another sweet couple I ain't got nothin but love for.
Oh boy!
Want to know something that never gets old?
The choices are:
A. When your dearest friends have a baby.
B. When you get to hold that fresh, new, snuggly baby boy for the first time.
C. Continuously asking - "Is it just me, or is this baby perfect?"
D.
Pound those powder blue pups
This week GSU is hitting the road to Charleston to take on The Citadel!
My co-worker and I were talking about how it's kind of hard to play the Citadel and be the obnoxious fans we love to be.
The games have begun
On the first day of September, there could only be one thing exciting enough to elicit such a big smile from the Debster.
2Wedding Weekend
We are single-handedly working our way down the list of (former) college girls and getting them all married off.
And we marked another lovely lady off last weekend.
It was this pretty girl's turn as bride so we traveled to Augusta on Friday afternoon to join in the festivities.
Put 'em back in the tank
I could hardly believe it when I walked in my parents house the other day and saw this laying on the counter.
That familiar handwriting scrawled across that legal pad paper could only mean one thing:
He's back!
Let the games begin.................
Today
I have a post in the works entitled: The Untold Stories of Summer.
Turns out Summer is busy, y'all. Busy at work, and busy at play.
Bri's Babe-lorette
Last December, I got together with my 2 college bffs and we started a new tradition. We've actually experienced a lot of new things since leaving college over six years ago.
New towns, new jobs, new marriages. This particular get-together was to celebrate another big first.
Laughing with Larsen
If there is anything we like to do around here it's laugh. Thankfully, we have funny characters on every corner - so it's easy to stay amused.
My sister-in-law and I find one another especially hilarious.
The Return of the Tysons
On Thursday, July 26th, I rolled into this old beach town.
All of my summers from childhood to my early 20's were spent in St. Augustine, our very favorite of places.
AR Part Four: The Road Home
A lot of wise decisions were made in the planning of our trip.
The decision to leave on Tuesday so that we'd have all day Wednesday to play was definitely on the list. Hotel and food choices were also on point, and all of this led up to us having an amazing time before the wedding.
AR Part Three: Caroline & Shane
I can say with a full heart and with full confidence that Day Three of our Arkansas Adventure would prove to be just as special and fun as Day One and Day Two. It was finally Thursday - WEDDING DAY.
Early morning tweets with pictures like this....
The Fourth 4th
When my brother and Larsen started dating almost 5 years ago, it was pretty clear that she was going to bring a lot to our lives. And she most certainly has in more ways than could ever be expressed.
3AR Part Two: Little Rock Lovin'
It was a long day of travel on Tuesday, and I woke up on Wednesday morning like a little kid on Christmas morning.
While stranded motionless the night before on the highway, Chad, Faith, and I gave each other props for having the wonderful idea of leaving on Tuesday.
AR Part One: Journey to The Natural State
Leading up to my trip, I would tell people I was traveling to Arkansas - and their first reaction was "Why?"
When I told people I was traveling to Arkansas by car, their second reaction was "WHY???"
My answer to their first "why" was very legit - a dear friend was getting married!
The answer to t
Hey Hey Arkansas
Over the past 5 days, there has been a LOT of this...
My sweet and funny friends and I traveled mile upon mile - and accumulated laugh upon laugh - as we made our way to see this girl...
Do THIS...
So many more pictures and stories to come, but for now - I'll leave you with this...
A little catch up
To answer the question on all our minds...I am alive! I am not sure what happened between my last post on April 11th and today, but sadly none of it made it to the blog. With no big events or road trips taking place this April, it's pretty much just been business as usual around here.
1So many boys
I may be single, but there is NO shortage of boys in my life. And they're all cute and they all have great personalities.
The first one is Jayce, my TWO YEAR OLD buddy, lovebug, and godson.
Yes, the little genius boy turned two last Saturday. I can't believe it.
Weekend Fun
Preceding our Easter Sunday was quite a lovely weekend. And I think that was due mostly because there was a quite a lovely girl who arrived on the doorstep Friday evening.
1Easter 2012
We had a very nice, low-key Easter. Because we were working with the physical limitations of a over-zealous tennis player with a broken knee cap and a pokey 90 year-old with a healthy amount of sass...we decided to go to early church.
3Another 30th, Another twist
Around here, 30th Birthday parties don't always turn out the way you plan. Well, as least for my dear sister-in-law, Larsen, that is.
The party Larsen planned for my brother's 30th Birthday Bash? I guess you could say that one had a small twist at the end.
More Bday Fun
Somebody in the picture above is turning the Big 3-0!
It's not the guy on the far left. He's been 30 for years (well almost 2). It's not the girl in the middle. She is just a kid! And it's definitely not those two geezers on the right. They can't even remember 30.
First Lake Weekend of the Season
I joyfully spent this past weekend here:
I was invited by the Hagans to go to the lake for a weekend of a little work and a little play.
28th time this has happened
When I woke up yesterday morning and remembered that it was my birthday and that I was 28, I just shook my head back and forth. Twenty. Eight.
Because my everyday life is filled with many people who are at least 15+ years older than me, I obviously got no respect for my disbelief about my age.
Sat/Sun Fun
Busy busy is the theme of weekends these days, and this past one was no different!
Saturday was filled with tons of different things, but it all ended with a leprechaun themed St. Patrick's Day evening at the Hagan abode.
We had faux leprechauns nestled atop St. Patty cookies.
Advisors Gone Wild
This past week looked a little different than most. It's Spring Break here at our University and the students weren't the only ones getting out of town.
5Weeekend Recap (one week later)
The next two pictures pretty accurately describe last weekend.
And honestly after using all of those cameras and lenses all weekend, I die a little inside just showing you the pics I took on my not-quite-as-beloved-as-it-once-was camera that lives in my purse.
