We have an announcement...

Dum dum da dum!!! (Not wedding bells this time, that was more of a drumroll). I wish I had Cuz live and on camera to announce this, but I'm stealing the thunder and announcing it for her. NO, it is not what you are thinking, but YES her and Joe do have some big news that I'm pretty sure Lee Alice will be most excited about. Our dear Josephine has accepted a job with GE in Louisville, KY. Yep. My cousin is moving north! Up to the land of the Yankees. Maybe not that far, but KY is very north if you are from Alabama. Do you even have sweet tea up there? We've been discussing climate change. I'm confident it's colder there than here. She'll probably have to buy snow boots. And there you have it. We are so proud. It seems SO far away, but nothing could seperate us and our cuz. We are fam. And now our dear Josephine has married into the crazy mix... CONGRATS!!!! Love you both!!! :0)

Decision Points...

Without a doubt, he's been called one of the most controversial presidents of our time. I think in this media age, though, every president will be more and more controversial. They've all got their scars and will definitely get more and more bumps and bruises along the way to the history books. Tonight, we watched Matt Lauer's interview with President Bush. It was a great interview. It was good to see him again. He's been out of the eye of the public and pretty much silent for 2 years, but tonight, President Bush was back to talk to Matt about all of the major decision points of his presidency. Now granted, like most everyone else, I miss seeing "The Prez" on Jay Leno. That guy is hilarious and has an impression of President Bush that is dead on. But tonight, it was the real guy. A true American patriot. Like I've said before, I don't care if you are republican or democrat. Frankly, both parties get on my nerves and I don't understand half of politics, but I am a big fan of this great country we live in and I'm 100% behind anyone who is patriotic. And I think President Bush, despite all his flaws, is a fierce patriot and a loyal American. I have no time to read the book, but I am glad I got to see the interview. It was a good one. Rock on, Mr. President. :0)

Shoals Christmas Praise Promo

OK, if you aren't feeling Chrismtas-y yet, just watch the Grace Life Church Christmas Praise Promo! This is the greatest most wonderful Christmas Program you can possibly go to this year.. Every year I say it can't get any better than this. Truly amazing. If I had any prayer of carrying a tune in a bucket, I'd be in the choir, but alas, I was blessed with the Tittle (non) talent for singing. So, until my joyful noise actually becomes a joyful noise, I'll just sit in the audience and enjoy my favorite time of year! :0)

"O Holy Night" By David Phelps

Guess what Sister bought? New Gaither videos. Here, we have the world's greatest Tenor, David Phelps, pre great hair and stylish wardrobe, singing Oh Holy Night. I'm officially ready to bring on the Christmas season. :0)

Bud!!!

Here's my ceramic teacher, Bud. He is GREAT. I caught him totally off guard when takeing this pic. He keeps us laughing. We have so much fun on Thursday nights!! Although, I am a little behind so I'm going to have to pic up a few Tuesday night classes to get caught up. Fun times! :0)

Go VOTE!!

Did you vote? I did. And I got my cute little sticker to prove it. Ended up sitting beside Richard Baughn actually. Such a nice guy. On such a big night for him, he still took time to chat with me. It's rather funny that all of the old women at the Town Hall asked me if I was going to cheat off Sister again this year. Of course. I read those amendments over and over and didn't understand a single word. 4 people got ballots, voted and left. Sister finished hers and had it in the box and I was only half-way through. I did have a little bit of fun on the ballot. I wrote in Joey Boteler for Attorney General or something... I wrote-in my Sister for Secretary of State. I refused to vote for that Twinkle lady just becuase I don't think you can take anybody serious who's name is Twinkle. Same goes for anyone named Bunny or Candy. All in all, great night. Still cracks me up that we will drive over an hour to go vote as opposed to changing our registration to Muscle Shoals. And it turns out we aren't crazy. Another girl we went to school with drove from Birmingham to vote. It's good to be from Lynn. :0)

How could you not be a Vol fan after this?

Seriously, how could you root for any other team after seeing these two? These are dedicated, die-hard Vol fans at their best... and two of my best buddies, Phyllis and Paul Barker. They had Trunk-or-Treat at Northside Baptist Church. I looked diligently for a pic of the BUP (Big Ugly Preacher) because I was sure his University of Georgia Trunk would be extravagant, over-the-top and borderline crazy ~ just like he is for Georgia football ~ but I couldn't find one of him. Oh well, looks like the Vols won! :0)
