Jay & Daddy (Gators-for-a-Day!)

Gainesville, Florida!

I am sitting on the bed at a Day's Inn, waiting for Jay to wake up so that we can go to UF's spring game, The Orange and Blue. We've got new Gator gear to wear, and I can't wait to see old friends after almost 7 years have passed! I had wanted to get my nails done (vanity, vanity), but ran out of time. I was on the road visiting my grandma the first part of the week, so I was proud just to get our clothes clean and us out the door.

Here is a link to Jay's spring pictures. He is one beautiful boy! We receive a lot of compliments on his sweet face and happy disposition.

Dedication

Jay's dedication to the Lord was a great opportunity to have both sides of our family over to our new home. Everyone seemed well fed and entertained. Jay smiled on cue (the pastor's words) as we stood before the church. Aunt Nat was able to spend Sunday with us and it was so fun to joke and shop with her. Even though we were slap wore out Monday, it was worth it. The video clip is uploaded on this blog-- check the right margin.

Random Thoughts...

1. A lot of cars in middle Georgia have window decal monograms. Linens, I understand. Hangbags, jewelry, but cars?

2. There was a 50-year-old man waiting to have a pedicure at the nail shop I stopped in for a eyebrow wax. This was not a 'metrosexual'. This was a jeans-and-sneakers, gray-haired, good ol' boy. The times, they are a-changin'.

Life in Middle Georgia

Here a few neat things about day-to-day life here that I enjoy:

1. The county radio station plays a version of the National Anthem every day at noon.

2. The students I encounter have a great deal of home training. It has refreshed me and confirmed my choice of profession.
3. We have been invited into a neighbor's home and given another neighbor's phone number. Because we are in a new build, people are open.
4. The little downtown area of my new town. The flowering bushes are fragrant. The streets are peaceful. It's authentically charming.

5. Wagon rides. We have space to move!

Below are some pictures of our new town and Jay-boy. I need to take some interior shots of our place, but it's still a work in progress.
