It's the most wonderful time of the year....

**Side Note** Carl, you can oh so nicely ask Seth if he will come to Charleston and build you a deck...I will come too, but I am useless in the deck building arena.

So it's finally here. No I'm not talking about Christmas (although I love that time too). Football season for Georgia officially starts tomorrow and I can't freaking wait. I mean who doesn't want to be on north campus tomorrow at 6 am surrounded by hoards of drunk college students? Ok, so in reality those hoards won't get full tilt until about thirty minutes before the game, but you get my drift. We have gone from college where we tailgated behind Lipscomb Hall next to a dumpster with no food and a keg, to tailgating on a median over near PVAC with some food and a TV, to tailgating on the grassy knoll of the most beautiful part of campus with lots of food and the game package purchased for the non-ticket holders to watch. We have reached old and I can honestly say, I'm down. I mean, if you ask my friends I was the mildest of the bunch anyway so I've always kind of been the low key tailgater....right guys? :-) Regardless, Athens truly is one of my most favorite places on Earth. So going up there bright and early (instead of working out my wrecked calf muscles) is making me so happy. Not to mention, I have to start seeing people beyond the once a month wedding.

**Side Note** My class released the butterflies today (two girls cried hysterically). However, they were not released before they were given proper names:
Flapjack
Josh
Tallulah
and my personal favorite....Mrs. Burrow

I mean, I don't have a star and I've never adopted a highway or a dolphin, but I am a butterfly out there somewhere. How freaking cool is that?

  1. I am so jealous and can't wait until next year when Skip and I can share in the tailgating fun. I miss you and hope you had a great week!
