football shmootball

Well, football season has started! As you may have guessed I'm not a super huge fan of football, but it's definitely my sport of choice from the spectator perspective (except for maybe gymnastics). Anyway, football season is a pretty big deal here in the south so I thought I would honor it with this post!

Here are some really neat football and team-like pictures I found on Florida Memory. They are all from my home town, Lake City, Fl.

Florida Agriculture College football team in 1901

 Columbia College football team 1914

 Columbia cheerleader from early 1900s

 And I put in the baseball picture for good measure. Columbia High School baseball team in 1915.

Aren't they fun?!

summer days

The last few days via my sub-par camera phone.

Ray making Big Brown look presentable.



I made this sign for our wedding and decided we needed to keep it up.

The Suwannee River is so sad and low right now. Ray actually grew up on this river. Also, for all of you living outside of Florida, this river was the inspiration for our state song Old Folks at Home.

A peek into our record room + all of our beautiful wedding center pieces. We aren't really sure what to do with them now. Any ideas?

Glorious dinner at home. PTL.

yes please

Reason number 287 why I love Lake City:

Stop! Hammer time.
This was absolutely NOT photoshopped. I took this today... and it made me SO HAPPY.

knit me a sweater

Somebody please knit me a sweater. Basically I'm freezing. I live in Florida. FLORIDA! Why is it 21 degrees outside?! I don't even own warm clothes. I have one sweater and some people have said it looks like a bowl of cereal. My scarves are for fashion, not warmth. I don't even own a pair of gloves.

I'm ready for summer. I need warm weather. I need shorts. I need to not have to wear socks.

So, I went to the skating rink the other day. Yes, it's true. I went with some girlfriends... and we probably wont be going again anytime soon.
1. I can't skate very well.
2. I always feel like I'm going to trip over a small child.
3. Creeps hang out at the skating rink. It's a proven fact.
4. My friend Kristi and I pretty much just watched the entire time. A couple of my friends tried to impress people by skating backwards. Way to go.

Want to know the most awkward part? All the 35 year old single dads!

Dear 35 year old dad,
I'm not impressed by your speed skating. Please take off your gold chain and stop using so much gel. And stop hitting on 10th graders.
Love,
Allison
