"i'll make every last moment last as long as you're mine"

(picture of little girl at work- she's great- sorta reminds me of.. me!)

So We haven't posted in a while cause there hasn't been anything super exciting in our lives different than any other time... minus the fact that volleyball is going so much better and we are winning a little more since we have two setters and run a 6-2 and we have been playing much scrappier than before- it's been great!! Softball i have gotten back into a little slump after hitting quite well for two games or so.. but its hopefully behind me now:) Pete's basketball leagues are going ok.. he had quite a frustrating game where the ref tried to kick him out for asking "where was the foul?" and no swear words, no extreme yelling, invading personal space or anything! And he told him he's kicked out and it was still the first half of the game! It all got fixed and the other ref said he couldn't kick him out.. so pete got to go back in.. but still ended up fouling out-and their team had a chance to win but didn't make an easy lay up at the end.. so a little frustrating!

The two MOST exciting things we did get to do this last week was
1) See the UGA Bulldogs Football team beat the Tennesee Vols in Athens!
it was a blast! we rode up with our friends Matt and Laura Adams, then hung out with one petes friends from the fire station and their condo when they were tailgating. We got some tickets from a friend in high school that goes there and we ended up being able to go and sit really close to the band in the corner of the end zone- it was sweet! Even though we got alcohol spilled on us twice- we had some really fun people around us to watch the game with too- and we won! whoo hoo!

2) We went to see the play Wicked at the wonderful Fox theater which was A-MAAAZZZINNNGGG!!! Oh how i love the music and the story of Wicked! I think i had goosebumps through half the play as the singers were top notch and added humor and personality throughout. But i have about 4 songs that are my favorite : "the wizard and I" "Defying Gravity" "As long as you're mine" and "For good" all are songs sung by Elphaba .. cause she's got the best voice- even though i was VERY impressed with Glinda's voice in the play.. she was just spectacular! But i sing these songs all day long in my head.. and sometimes a lil out loud.. and sometimes a lot out loud.. i just can't help myself!
But we had a great time with our good friends Mark and Noelle Brondau as we ate at RouSans- a sushi place in Buckhead which was also good and had a good price too! then following the play got ice cream at McDonalds!

3) Whit Tutt=My best friend ever since i was in 3rd grade, is leaving me for 18 monts to serve the Lord on a mission in Porto Rico! I am so excited for her but will miss her! She gave her farewell talks on sunday which me and pete attended and tomorrow me and whit and our good friend nate are going out for brunch before she leaves this weekend to head out to utah for the MTC! But we sure have had so many fun times together which make great pictures and stories! But i love her so much and couldn't be more excited for this decision in her life!!


till next time!
