Roll Tide, School and Painting

Well, football season is finally here and I can’t explain how much I’m going to enjoy it. I can finally watch the games in the comfort of my own home and without wearing headphones. As you should all know I am a huge Alabama fan and I haven’t missed a game in, well I don’t remember the last time I missed watching or being at an Alabama football game. It’s the one thing I don’t let anything else get in the way of, seriously, I missed Amanda’s cousin’s wedding because it was at the same time as the UA/UT game. What can I say? I’m addicted. I could go on and on about Alabama football but I don’t have enough time or blog space. I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Clemson game, not only because Bama destroyed them, but because I got to watch the game with some good friends. I do think that Crystal and Erin could give me and Chad a run for our money on who’s a bigger Bama fan.
Me relaxing during the game.

Amanda and I fell in love last Saturday. Not with each other again, but with the “Rock Band” for the Xbox 360. I have wanted a 360 for awhile now and now that Amanda has jumped on that train one could be in my future very soon. It took lot of encouragement to get both of us to sing a song, but once that mic was in our hands that was it. And I am shocked to say that Amanda is a better guitar player than me. Can’t win them all.

Since I came home I have been going back to school. I never finished my bachelor’s degree and that has always bothered me. I now have the opportunity to get my degree and to get it from the University of Alabama. I’m only taking one course right now to get back into the swing of things, but will be picking up the pace in January. I have 11 classes left to finish my degree so I’m going to really be cramming come this spring. It’s tough right now b/c I take a couple of nights each week to work on my course online through Bama, which takes away from spending time with Amanda but she understands that I’m doing this for us. (She’s great like that)

So, what did you do on your Labor Day? Relaxed? Watched TV? Grilled out? Not me and Amanda!! Nope we painted! What every man wants to hear from his wife, “Let’s paint the living room this weekend.” LOL! Truthfully, I think it was more my idea to do it Monday, but Amanda wasn’t shying from the thought. It was tougher than I thought it would be, but we got it all done. You can check out pics on Amanda’s blog and let her know what you think.

A new goal for me now is to try and keep my blog more up to date…I promise! Until next time, take care!

Oh...here are some pics from my office now that it's finished.

Told you I was a big Bama Fan!

You and that BAMA stuff. Some things never change! You know what Sam would say...right. He has taught his little girl to say, War-r-r-r-r Eagle...Hey.

Watch her on You-Tube

Room looks good even though it is Alabama and I'm a War Eagle fan. I do have to say it is pretty. Good luck on the school. I think it is great that you are going to back to finish. I couldn't imagine going back to school at my age but I would love to to learn something different to do. I'm loving your blog. Keep it up you are doing a great job.

That would be my husbands dream office... he has a few Bama things in his office but we have a long way to go before it looks like that. :)
