crash-a-rama

last night hugh and i, along with about 40 of our friends, witnessed the most magnificent display of redneck rivalry

from figure-8 schoolbus races (about 20 buses) ... to pac-man shaped races with vehicles possessing only the front 2 tires... to a loop within a loop and one car pushing another... to the grand finale of vehicles (about 20) each towing a boat or camper... and everything in between. it was a hilarious, destructive, ridiculous event that was honestly well worth the $20 ticket. you really can't accurately describe the craziness.

oh, did i mention that it was 40 degrees outside? coldest day of the year and we were outside for almost 5 hours not moving. you'll note the progressional change in attire :)

so here are some pics.






note that there is a car under the truck and another boat under the big boat

F.O.T. gala

another busy weekend! an organization that i'm a part of, the junior league of south brevard, put on a great big christmas festival- the festival of trees.

here are a couple of pics from the kickoff gala on friday night. (note the tree behind us. a group of girls and i decorated it and donated it for auction and we won Best Of Show!!)

the cinque terre

(sorry for the delay in summer holiday photo posting. one of these days i'll have the whole vacation up! it's more interesting, though, to have it drawn out right! haha)

congratulations jess and marcus

one of hugh's closest friends, jessica, got married this past weekend and we were so happy to be a part of the celebration

neighborly fun

our good friend and neighbor happens to be a nebraska alum and thus huge fan. even though baylor has a hard time beating them, we have fun whenever they play each other. a couple of saturdays ago we came outside to see this on one of our cars

so this is what he found when he got home

baylor homecoming 2009

last weekend, hugh and i went out west and spent a lovely long weekend in in the happenin' metropolis of waco. more importantly the home of the fabulous baylor university :) an overnight stop in dallas with the caudle family :) and we made our way to homecoming!! i LOVE homecoming... and baylor really does it well.
