Weekend in Alabama

This weekend we went to Alabama for the gymnastics meet and also a basketball game.

The gymnasts come out between these letters and then are introduced with fireworks. It is quite a show before the meet starts.

Unfortunately this was the worst home meet in years, and they lost to LSwho? I didn't even know they had a gymnastics team!

The next day we made a quick appearance at my cousin's 4th birthday party for more gymnastics fun.

Her favorite part was the pit or in her words, "blocks."

Another loss for the Tide this weekend as AL lost in the final seconds after having the lead most of the game.

We had dinner with family and had time to visit last night and this morning before heading back home. It was a great weekend despite the outcomes for both sports.

Proud to be a Lady Vols Fan

SEC Tournament

This past weekend was so much fun! I presented my in-service on the vestibular system (not fun) Friday at lunch and then met my parents at my apartment to go to the SEC tournament (previous post). We only stayed to watch the Lady Vols because of the chance of snow. The next morning felt like vacation because I didn't have to get up early and the ground was covered in snow! Finally!! We started planning our Disney World trip and then went shopping before meeting my mom's Chi Omega sisters at Demo's and then went to the watch 2 games. Sunday was another fun-filled day! We called Disney to reserve our rooms!! (Thanks mom for talking to Abraham for 80 min....next time we will do it online.) Also, found a great deal on flights! We met her friends for dinner, but this time at Big River (downtown) and then went to the Championship Game!!! The Lady Vols beat LSU and are the SEC champions!

I took a ton of pics because I was trying out different features on my new camera. Some didn't turn out just right...oh well!

Gymnastics, Basketball, and Early Birthday Fun!

This weekend I met my mom, dad, and Uncle Jerry in Alabama to go to the gymnastics meet vs. Georgia, basketball game vs. LSU, and celebrate my birthday a little early. We stayed with my aunt and uncle and had Birthday fun Saturday night at their house.

Alabama lost to Georgia in gymnastics, but they won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in individual all-around! I wanted to go to this meet to see three Olympic gymnasts from the 2004 team. Terin Humphrey (Alabama), Courtney Kupets (Georgia), and Courtney McCool (Georgia). Terin was sick and could not compete this week. I think we could have won if she was well. :) Random Fact: Terin and Courtney McCool trained at the same gym before the Olympics!

Saturday was the basketball game and Alabama won! It was close at the end, but they pulled throuh and beat LSU! We had bad seats and moved closer after the first half.

February Birthday fun! (Channing turns 3...I will be 25!)

Strawberry Cake!
