Chick-fil-a Bowl and New Year's Eve

Happy New Year!!! Tucker and I celebrated New Year's at the Chick-fil-a bowl in Atlanta. Auburn played Virginia, and thank goodness we won! Other than the first quarter, we looked great! I hated that Clint Mosley got hurt, but I was so very excited for Barrett Trotter. He has really developed over the season,and in my opinion, I think he should be the starter next year, if he decides to stay. I'm hoping for an offensive coordinator that refuses to play the quarterback shuffle. Let's pick one and stick with him! Barrett Trotter came to our school earlier this year, and he was great with the kids. He talked to them about leadership and taught them games that involved teamwork.

The kids payed more attention to him than they do to me!

We are so fortunate to have family that lives close to Atlanta. We always stay with Tucker's aunt and uncle, Paul and Kathy. I tell you, it's like staying in a bed and breakfast! Friday night, we all went to Los Arcos and had a delicious dinner!

All of us at Los Arcos.

Saturday, we had a tailgate style lunch. We also got to spend time with Paul T., Casey, Townsend, and Sarah Peyton! We don't see them enough! We missed Eiler, but hopefully we will see them again this summer.

This picture is a little blurry. I'm hoping to have a better copy soon!

Touchdown Auburn!

Midnight at the Steak n Shake!

After the game, we were exhausted and hungry, so we went to the Steak n Shake. There we did a countdown to New Year's day. I couldn't imagine anywhere else I would rather be when the clock struck midnight. I was there with my family, the people I love and who love me!

Sadly, today is the last day of my Christmas break. Tucker and I had a fabulous week. He had to go back to work today, and I miss him so much already! And I miss my kiddos. I'm excited to see them on Thursday and hear all about their holidays. 2012 is going to be great!!!
