Friday Funday!

The Bulldogs came to Gainesville this past week, and we were so excited! They faced the Florida Gators in the Super Regional, and the winner would be heading to Omaha for the College World Series. I took off work on Friday, and we fueled up on good ole American cuisine before heading to the baseball stadium! blue box mac and cheese, hot dogs and beer. YUMMM!!! Well, we all know how the series turned out, but we still had a great time cheering for our Bulldogs!

Let me introduce you to some of our new friends: We met Jeff and Kelsey at my work Christmas party. Jeff also works for Mactec, and he and his wife are both from Georgia. Jeff graduated from Georgia Tech and has gotten an on-line broadcast meteorology degree from MSU. They both go to our church, and we love having "couple friends" to do things with! The four of us went to the game on Friday. Saying that we melted and baked in the sun would be an understatement!
Poor Kelsey is bright red from being out at the game. It was a depressing 11-1 loss but still nice to be surrounded by fellow Mississippians! I saw some of my parent's neighbors in Starkville and a dear fellow roadrunner, Christin Reeves!

This is a pic of our one and only run that game... thank goodness the next two games were much more exciting!

Zach and I had a double-header in frisbee that evening (we beat the only undefeated team in the league, and then lost by 2 points to another great team). After frisbee, we scarfed down some dinner and met back up with Jeff and Kelsey to see the movie Bridesmaids. HILARIOUS! Even the boys liked it! Phew it was a long but fun-filled day! I think our eyes were closed before our heads even hit the pillow that night!

But wait! The fun continues! ALL WEEKEND LONG!

Saturday was a very productive day filled with cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, the usual... Annnnnd the Bulldogs pulled out a victory! Who's keeping score? That means that the winner of the next game goes to the World Series! It's anybody's game!

That night I got a call from another set of "couple friends", Jenn and Joel, asking if we wanted to go see the new X-Men movie with them. Yes, we had gone to a movie the night before, but we went anyways! We hadn't even hung out with them before, and we really enjoyed getting chat before, during and after the movie with them! We've already planned another double-date for the near future!

Sunday, we went to church and were given 4 tickets to the final game in the Super Regional. A nice couple we've gotten to know at church said they just couldn't sit in that heat anymore and offered us their tickets right behind the 3rd base dugout (score!). I have to make a note that they are Gator fans, and it was so kind of them to offer us their tickets since they knew we were not cheering for their team! Jeff and Kelsey came with us again, and we enjoyed this game so much more than Friday's! Even though we lost, it was a great game and our family even got to see us on TV! Zach took me for some consolation ice cream after the game... I was so pooped from the fun-filled weekend (2 baseball games, 2 frisbee games, 2 movies) I went to bed at 8:30p. Yup, 8:30p.

We have such an exciting week! Zach's birthday is on Thursday! Zach takes his boards on Friday! Zach's family is coming to visit on Saturday! Our one year anniversary is Sunday!
