Seriously.
Because of yesterday's football game, corporate decided to let us close the branch early (yay!). Even though I am ecstatic about the time off, I am in disbelief that this decision was made.
This is the sign we hung on the door yesterday. I thought is was picture worthy.

Football Tickets
Tonight Justin and I met Tiffanee and Jon at Bryant Denny for the Alabama/Georgia State game.
Our tickets were compliments of BB&T. It was not necessarily an exciting game but it was good to watch Bama win.
Tonight happened to be one of the first real cold nights of the season. Burrrr. I was so cold that we left at the end of the third quarter.

New Moon
It's official: I'm hooked. The whole Twilight phenomenon baffled me at first, now I can't get enough of it. I love the books, the movies.
I am (not so) patiently waiting to finish the books and watch the last two movies. I am very glad my coworker is letting me borrow all her books!

"We're not like that."
Unfortunately, this post might seem cryptic to many of you. I apologize in advance.
Today I faced a difficult decision. In the end, I feel that I made the right choice because the alternative could have negatively affected a friendship. Now, it's all behind us, and we can look back and smile.
That's all I've got for this one. Really.

Another Sushi Experience
Now that she has had little Chace, Tiff could go out for some adult time and sushi. I love introducing people to something new, especially sushi. She listened to me talk about sushi for the nine months she was pregnant, and one day I finally talked her into it. I asked her for a thumbs up or thumbs down; she gave a thumbs "in-between." She didn't hate it, nor did she love it.

Okay, smiiiiiile!
Tiffanee brought Chace to work to meet all of us. Of course, this had to be the picture of the day. I held out my iPhone to take the picture, and Tiff and I had this had this exchange:
Me: "Let me take a picture."
Tiff: "Just Chace, or I am in it, too?"
Me: "Both of you."
Tiff: "Oh, okay."
Me: "Okay, smiiiiile!"
And this is the great smile that Chace gave me. It was as if he was listening to me. (After all, he had been listening to my voice for the last nine months; he knew I was one to smile/laugh at!!)
Too precious!

Ok. I'll admit that I did not take this picture of Chace. This is a picture of the MMS message Tiffanee sent me. But this is big, and it still counts!Chace was born on August 28, 2010, weighing in at seven pounds and five ounces. We've been waiting for him for so long and now he's here. I still haven't met him, but I plan to visit him at home when he is a little older and more adjusted to this world. :)

Dining Out
Remember Tiffanee (the preggo one on the right)? She is still holding that baby captive. Elisha and I wanted to take her out for one more ladies' night before Chace comes. Together, we chose Cypress Inn.We had a great time; almost as great a time as the ladies at the table beside us. One of them was celebrating her 58th birthday. They each ordered an appetizer as their meal; I assume that was to save room for all the drinks they consumed. Tiff, Elisha, and I all agreed that we hope to be "that kind of cool" when we are middle-aged women.
Date: August 4, 2010Location: Innisfree Irish PubTuscaloosa, ALHappy Hour
Four years ago, staying up until four in the morning was common for me. Now it's just an inside joke between me and my husband. Once upon a time, I only wanted to be out and about when everyone else would be there, too. Now, I can't stand to be shoulder to shoulder with complete strangers in a loud, stinky place. Happy Hour is great with me; I prefer to be home and in bed by the time the "that used to be me" type arrive at the bar. Funny how life changes a person.
Date: July 31, 2010Location: DayStar Family ChurchNorthport, ALBaby ShowerTime is getting closer! Baby Chace is almost here, and I know his mom, Tiffanee, is very ready to meet him. He's a lucky little guy whose parents and family will spoil him rotten. He is expected to be here on September 6th; the doctor says he is already a big boy. Good luck, Tiffanee.
Date: July 22, 2010Location: BB&TTuscaloosa, ALHappy Birthday Johnnie!I told you, lots of birthdays this month. This one is for Johnnie; she turned 29, again, this year. She is my supervisor and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
Elisha is becoming the subject of lots of my photos. But I thank her; she makes a pretty one :) and she is currently the only follower of my blog.
Date: July 21, 2010Location: BB&TTuscaloosa, ALLet the Reading BeginThank you Elisha! She is letting me borrow Twilight, the book. I can't wait to start reading. Hopefully, it will give me something to do during vacation. I always think that books are better than the movie; however, I usually read the book then watch the movie. Twilight, don't let me down!
Date: July 12, 2010Location: BB&TTuscaloosa, ALHappy Birthday Tip!I told you we love birthdays at the office. Today is Tiffanee's 25th. Her special request was the fruit (which she thought I'd forgotten!). In September, she'll have her second child, Chace Alexander. Two birthdays down this month, one more to go!
Date: July 9, 2010Location: Work, BB&TTuscaloosa, ALHappy Birthday June!We like cake at the office. We typically celebrate with a cake. Who doesn't love birthday cake.We have three birthdays this month. Sweet!
(BTW, this is Elisha, not June)
Date: July 6, 2010Location: Surin of ThailandTuscaloosa, ALA Night of Catch UpMy former co-worker is having a baby boy! The ladies in the office hosted a shower for her at Surin. I haven't worked with them for over a year, but the chitchat and cheerfulness were just as I remembered.Congratulations Lauren, you will be a great mom to little Ethan Charles!
