Excitement All Around-- Bama Won and AL bound!

Well, I guess you all know that we are very excited for our favorite football team winning the SEC Championship last Saturday and we are headed to the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and for a promising Heisman trophy winner! This is very exciting because the last time we won a Championship was in 1992. At that time I was in Elementary school and didn't care about football so I don't personally remember winning a National Championship. We really do enjoy AL football and on Sunday Grace wore her AL dress outfit! I figure it was very fitting and she was soon going to grow out of it. After we got there, our Youth/Children's Minister's wife saw Grace in her outfit and told her husband. (They are big TN fans.) The Children's Minister was joking and saying to get Grace out of the nursery since she was wearing AL!:) He was being 'cute'!

Here is what Grace wore on Sunday........





Tomorrow we are headed to AL for an early Christmas with our family!! We are very excited about this. We are also excited and a little nervous about flying. We weren't planning on flying at first but Mom found us some amazingly cheap rates to fly non-stop with Southwest. (She gets emails with specials sent to her) They had a special going on for $25 one way!! So for both of us to fly both ways it was just $100 plus taxes. Grace can fly free until she is 2. So we figured this is a good time to go because she won't be less than 2 for long so this may be our only chance to fly with her for free. This is going to be nice because the flight is only 1 hour , as compared to 7 or more hours in the car. She does not do good on car trips. She gets very tired of the car. So a nice change!! We just wonder how she will do on the flight. We will definitely have her paci, snacks, toys, books, etc. :) This is also mine and Adam's first time to fly!! So.. fun times! :)

Thankfully, we have found someone to keep Allie at their house while we are gone and we took Bud to be boarded today. Also, a couple from our church has agreed to take us and pick us up at the airport so we don't have to pay to park our car while we are gone. For these things, we are very thankful! Our flight leaves about 9:30am in the morning.

Thank You God for all our many blessings! Thank you for family, friends, and for the reason for the Season! Help us not to forget about you dear Jesus, who came to this earth in human form to ultimately be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Help us to never forgot YOU! I Love You Lord!
