Clean Sweep

It never gets old beating Carolina...especially when it's in football AND basketball!  I'm going to bed once again proud to be a Tiger and almost feeling sorry for those who have to put up with losing to Clemson all the time...

Happy New Year (early) to everyone, and I will be back on January 2nd to report on the outcome of the Gator Bowl!  Graham and I are leaving early Thursday morning for Jacksonville on a bus with friends and family...GO TIGERS!

Holiday Happenings

I am definitely in the Christmas spirit with only one week left before Christmas break!  I am so thankful to be in our own house this year, I love watching tv with our tree lights on, and snuggling on the couch with Graham and Riggs!  Wondering what those beautiful tulips are down there for?  Two years ago yesterday Graham proposed!  He surprised me with this beautiful Christmas tulip arrangement....too sweet I know!  He's going to hate me for writing this but the card said "here's 15 times thank you for saying yes 2 years ago today"!

Enough mushy...life at school has been crazy...My kids are literally bouncing from wall to wall and breaking out in spontaneous Christmas carols in the middle of math....BUT they do make me smile with every "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "you better not pout, you better not cry!"

Graham and I have been busy, busy bees and its going to pick up even more this week...we went to my bunko group's cocktail party last night, we just got back from Graham's dad's birthday party,  I am going to the Nutcracker with my nieces, sister in law, and mother in law tomorrow night (the Cracker Nut as Sanders calls it), Graham's cousin is throwing a party on Wednesday, teacher party Thursday night, and off to Florence until the 23rd to do Christmas with my family.  My middle brother "debuts" this Saturday in the Florentine Society.  Yes..I know its weird the girls debut and the sons are honored...Graham thinks this is totally wrong and can't get over Michael Ross "coming out" so to speak, but I can't wait to see him all decked out in his formal Citadel uniform.

We will be back home for Christmas Eve and then there will be some serious relaxing until we go to the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville New Year's Day!

I have been an awful blogger lately so if I don't get back before all the festivities, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

31-14

This is a week late but that's because I still have not come down from CLOUD NINE yet!  If you follow Clemson or heard anything about the football team this past season it is has been awful to say the least...

So...as usual USC decided that this was gonna be the year that they were going to beat us...

Well, I was at the game...having the time of my life and all I have to say is sorry your Hall of Famer, Heisman winner, All-American, sent from the lord himself coach couldn't even touch our wide receivers coach not to mention tackle James Davis or CJ Spiller!  31-14

Please watch this video it is HILARIOUS and it pretty much sums up the game if you didn't catch it.  (Carolina fans should watch it as a re-cap since they started leaving Death Valley at the end of the 1st quarter....)
