Christians voting for Obama???

This is my blog, so I currently have the right to put my own opinions on here. If you are a Christian, and in any way thinking about voting for Obama (or 3rd party - because that is basically like voting for Obama) please watch this video.

Tim & Tucker's 1st "Real" Football Game

So, like I mentioned in my previous post, we took Tanner's little brothers to their first "real" football game this weekend. We went to see Tennessee play Mississippi State. Tanner had told the boys ahead of time that we were all going to be TN fans that day (they are Alabama fans). Tucker totally bought into this. He even wanted to wear one of my TN shirts (Woohoo!). Tim cheered for them, but would catch himself and try not to be too excited. It was pretty funny. Anyway, it was pretty cold, so you will see us all bundled up in layers and layers of clothing. Enjoy the pics and the stories that go along with them:

This is how we started our journey

Both of the boys had binoculars, and they loved them! (notice Tuck sporting the Big Orange apparel)

Tanner & Tim went to get us free ice cream sandwiches (yes, even though it was cold outside), and free cokes.

Then, Tucker decided to look like a duck.

There's a cool story for this next picture. TN does a thing called the "Vol Walk." All of the players walk by high-fiving the fans as they walk into the stadium. This player walked by, high-fived us, took another step, and turned back around and draped his towel across Tucker's arm. He talked about that the rest of the day, and he wants to take it with him wherever he goes.

Look: we were there too! (yes, I am wearing an ETSU hoodie. I didn't have a UT hoodie that was warm enough)

My favorite boys

Proof that we were actually inside the stadium

We were a little cold

The final score

We had a great time. The boys loved it, and they are already asking to go to another game.

A fun weekend ahead

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Saturday is going to be a very busy/long day. ETSU is having Homecoming on Saturday, and being the loyal alumni that we are, Tanner and I are going. My dad is also an alumni of ETSU, and he is having some sort of reunion, so I'm sure I will have to meet all of his old friends.

Anyway, we won't be there too long because we are going to the TN/Mississippi State game that night. Not only are Tanner and I going, but we are taking Tim and Tucker with us (Tanner's younger brothers - 10 & 7). We are so excited! This will be both of the boys' first "real" football game. They are super excited, and they have been counting down all week. Keep in mind though - neither of the boys are TN fans (I am the only one). However, we convinced them that they need to pull for TN on Saturday in order to get the full experience of going to a game. To my surprise - they agreed. We plan on taking lots of pictures, so hopefully I will post them on here soon.

Sunday is going to be a typical Sunday, but it's probably going to be my last Sunday with an afternoon nap for awhile since I start a class again on Monday. Oh well, it was a nice 8-week break.

So, what about you? Any fun plans for the weekend?

Fireproof

We went to see the movie Fireproof last night with our community group. For those of you that don't know, this was a very low-budget film. I absolutely loved it. I know the dialogue wasn't always great, and some of the acting wasn't either, but I really tried to just focus on the point the movie was trying to make.

This movie is about improving and saving marriages. As a wife and a child of divorce, this is something that I am always interested in.

So please, if you are married or even thinking about getting married, watch this movie. Don't try to critique it, just watch it for the meaning behind it.

The book that is used in the movie, The Love Dare, is available at Lifeway. I am thinking about buying it. Has anyone tried this yet? Any other thoughts on the movie?
