Well, the Braves lost...

I am a Braves fan, though, and I'm not ashamed of them. I think, with what they had to work with, they had a very good season. They had lots of injuries, lots of youngsters, but they also had heart. You can think what you want, but the Braves had a good season despite what some perceive as "choking" in the NLDS.

Giants showed a lot of class last night. While they were celebrating their win on the field, the Braves fans called for Bobby to make a curtain call. He did. The Giants stopped their celebration in order to applaud Bobby on his history-making career. A very classy and respectful gesture on their part.

The Phillies, too, showed a lot of class and respect for Bobby during the last regular season series they played with the Braves. During Bobby's ceremony on Saturday, the Phillies lined the rail in their dugout to watch and listen as Bobby's career was being highlighted. They came onto the field to give Bobby a standing ovation. Honestly, I didn't expect that from them.

So, go Giants and Phillies. May the better team win.

And so long, Bobby. Thanks for a wonderful ride. We'll see you in the Hall of Fame.

Fall is in the air

The crisp, cool mornings!

The start of high school football! Go Warriors!!

The start of college football! Go Tigers!!

And the winding down of baseball season. :(

Right now, the Braves are leading the division by 3 games over the Philthies.

I'm really going to miss baseball. Good thing I have football to pacify me until spring training!

:)

August 26

Today is a very special day. Today is the birthday of the most wonderful woman I've ever known.

She's kind. Generous. Selfless. Loving.

My vocabulary isn't vast enough to sing her praises. So I simply say...

I love you Mama! Happy birthday!

Is our seventh anniversary. SEVEN years!! My how time flies!



Have you ever wondered how we met?



No? Too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway.



I used to frequent an Atlanta Braves chatroom. A bunch of folks from there would meet up every year at a Braves game. We had so much fun. I met a family from NC (man, wife, daughter) at the first meet up. We became quick friends.



Anyway, when the chatroom closed, we remained friends. The daughter emailed me to let me know there was an unofficial Braves chatroom and bulletin board.



Once while looking through the bulletin board, I noticed one thread immediately. It was a book signing just 1 1/2 hours from my house. I posted asking what the book was about. The author posted a description.



Then my friend sent an email saying she had purchased one of these books (murder mystery) and it was a good book, so I decided I'd like to have one.



The book signing was on a Saturday, but it was the same day one of my best friend's was getting married. And I was doing the wedding cake, so I couldn't get to the signing. I posted on the board, giving him my email address, so he could tell me how to get in touch with him to buy a book.

Here's his book: http://www.authorhouse.com/Bookstore/ItemDetail.aspx?bookid=9825

Turns out, he lived less than 20 miles from me. We planned a time where I could come by to buy my copy.



I went by his house one Thursday after work to get the book. I bought his book. And he let me "borrow" another of his books. (I later found out this was just so I'd have to come back to his house to return the book).



Anyway, we went on our first date that next Tuesday.



We were engaged a month and a half later.



We were married 2 1/2 months after that!



And it's been seven years. And I love him more each and every day.



God sure knew what he was doing when he joined these two hearts.

Happy Anniversary Baby! I love you!

Memories

I was at Mom's the other night going through some old pictures. Look what I found!




It was one of Jonathan's birthday cakes. He was a die hard Braves fan back in the day. He's still a fan, although not as FANATIC as his sister and her husband, Tim.

Just brought back some sweet memories and thought I'd share.
