Crazy Day

So, we started the weekend off with our Sunday School Christmas party Friday night. Much fun with great folks and yummy food while the kids had a blast with Mammaw. Then, Mammaw & Pots spent the night so that B & I could run a 5k Saturday morning. That, a haircut and watching the big game with friends were the extent of our plans for the day!

First, a very scary early morning picture of us at the race. Boy, do we need some sun!

Right after we finished the race, B's sister called with tickets to the SEC championship game! Now, it started at 4pm and is 2 hours away. And my haircut appointment was at 10:45. We were still in our running clothes and the kids would need another babysitter! See the issue? But, it was my team...and they were ranked #1 playing #2, so with the help of B, Mammaw & Bebe, we made it work!

After a whirlwind of activity, we made it to the game! It was so exciting and fun to be there. I'm very glad that Bama showed up and only wished they would've played as well in the 4th as they did the first 3 quarters. But, Florida is just good and they deservedly came out on top.

Slade and Jessica were there too and it was great to have time with them. (Will get a pic of the 4 of us soon!) We stopped in the park on the way to B's sister's afterparty event with Ludacris & Soulja Boy at the Tabernacle. The park is gorgeous at Christmas!

We had VIP access to the Ludacris event. (Just a funny sentence to write!) It was great to have somewhere to sit down, relax and eat after such a crazy day! Gretchen did a great job putting it all together and it was a huge success. It was fun to see her at work and the place was packed!

Here we are looking down from the VIP balcony. I am probably the person who is least in touch with music today...unless it is something the kids listen to or some really great contemporary Christian music that someone has given me. So, I really had no idea what was going on, but it was interesting and as someone old and out-of-touch would say, the music was "quite catchy." :)

Here's "Luda" as everyone was calling him.

So, a crazy day that was fun and disappointing and tiring and great, all in one! Thanks, Gretch for the tickets and thanks, Mammaw & Bebe for all the help! We need some rest now...
