Tom and I kicked off the 2007 football season last night by drinking some cold ones and watching mississippi state's QB single-handedly lose the game to LSU. I don't think there's any good games on tonight, but we're psyched for the PSU game tomorrow......HOPEFULLY we'll be able to see it at a bar (dumb big ten network!)
I FINALLY got around to posting my pics from our trip home the other week. Here's the link:

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! I'm going to enjoy not working on Saturday and watching football all day!

Back in the swing of things.....
After a wonderful weekend up north Tom and I are back in the 98 degree heat and back to work. It was so nice to be able to take some time off and go home and visit with everyone. We had an absolute blast. We ended up staying around the Phila. area the first weekend instead of going to nyc which ended up being a good decision. We went out in the city both Friday and Saturday nights with friends and had an awesome time. I miss the city soooo much! I can't wait to move back!
Monday we headed to the Yuengling brewery and met up with some of my family there. It was a LONG tour and full of walking up and down tiny stairwells and walking underground through actual caves where they used to keep the beer! We ended the tour by enjoying some of Yuengling's finest and then spending way too long in the gift shop ;)
From Yuengling we drove up to the Poconos for my family reunion. It went by so fast! We had a great time and it was sooo good to see everyone! Willow and Jacob are getting so big and are as cute as ever. (Except for when Jacob finds HUGE dead bugs and tries to scare me with them! He even told Tom he named one of the dead beatles "ScareAnne"!!!!) I enjoyed what is quickly becoming my favorite pasttime as well....filling up some coolers with beer and heading out onto the lake in the boats. Beer + lake + me and sarah = Fun times....always! We missed my brother who couldn't come this year.....the keg would have been kicked for sure had he been there :)
Wednesday we drove down to Lancaster to spend some time with Tom's family at the cabins. We went swimming in a pond and the next day I found out there was a snapping turtle in the water!!!! Ahhhhh! We also hit up just about every Wawa we saw in the state of Pennsylvania....wawa just keeps getting better and better and I miss it down South! I think I had about 20 wawa iced coffees (or maybe 4, but you get the point ;)
We spent our last weekend around Tom's parents house. Saturday night we went out with a bunch of Tom's friends and it was just like old times. We really can't wait to move back to the area. Someday...*sigh*
Anyways I'll post pictures soon!

August....already???
I can't believe it's August already!!! Where did the summer go??? But you know what August means.......football season is fast approaching!!!! I'm so ready for it to be here. But of course the big ten network doesn't exist down south (not with our cable at least) so we're going to have to figure something out to watch the games that aren't nationally telelvised.
Tom and I have been keeping busy. I've worked the past 3 saturdays and Tom has been busy with experiments for his thesis. This Friday we're heading up north for A WHOLE WEEK and I can't wait!!! We're going to be getting in Friday night and heading up to nyc Saturday morning to visit some friends. Then on Monday we're meeting up with some of my family and heading to the Yuengling Brewery for a tour and some tasting of America's finest brew. Then we'll be in the Poconos for my family reunion until Wednesday when we head to Lancaster to spend some time with Tom's family. Then back to Philly Friday to meet up with some friends until Sunday when we fly back to Bham. It sounds busy but hopefully our time when we're not driving will be pretty laid back and relaxing. Hopefully our flights will be on time! (I'm not holding my breath).
I'll update again when we get back!
