background obsession

it's been a long time since i've blogged, as you all know. so this new blog template designer thing has my mind spinning and spinning. it also has me obsessed with trying new backgrounds for the blog...yeah, the one i never write on.

tonight, though, i think i found the winner. i love my new blog background, and i commit, here and now, that i will start blogging again for real, instead of just changing my background and teasing you all with pretend blog posts.

back to blogging

my blog sent me a message. it said it missed me. thank you, alexis, for delivering that message. i am currently sitting in my office at USC waiting for class to start. so, i thought i would take advantage of the time and at least get myself a new background. i figure that will make me more motivated to blog about my less-than-exciting life.

new background: check.
new font colors: check.
new font style: check.
something to write about. . .in progress.

see you all (and by all, i mean alexis) soon!

the thing i miss least about our old house

below please find pictures of the devil ice maker in our old house. it would randomly make buckets and buckets of ice for a couple of days and then stop for no reason for weeks. this was on one of the overload days. seriously? that much ice?

i am happy to report that in our new house, we have an ice maker that makes ice consistently--not too much--just enough to keep our drinks cold. cheers to the new pad.

usc/vanderbilt

last week travis came out to visit the south. we went to a USC game. i still can't get over how crazy these games are. they fans are so intense. it's louder and more insane than any professional or college game i've ever been to. all hail SEC football...and good friends.

hello the south

yes, this is a mobile church semi-truck. it was parked in a mcdonalds parking lot. i am basking in the rich cultural experience of living in the south. thought i should share.

braves v dodgers, a little late

back in the day (summertime) anna and i went to a braves dodgers game. it was great. we had awesome seats. it rained for the first couple of innings, but we were faithful fans and stuck it out. the dodgers won. and after the game we got a fireworks show.

we also went to the steak and shake and had some of the yummiest food ever. we drove back to columbia until 3 in the morning. then anna got on a plane to california at 5. it was crazy but it was worth it. please see crazy braves fan in costume.

ah, the joys of renting

so, on wednesday our roommate aimee came home with some interesting info. our landlord has apparently sold the house that we are living in and is closing on the 31st of this month. so. . .anna and i spent our fall break looking for places to live. not so much fun. however, we both feel that things have fallen into place for us in amazing ways, and today, we found our new home!

it's new. it's clean. it's gated. it's roach free. it has a pool. we each have our own bathroom. it's perfect!

i will post pics as soon as we move in! in the meantime, any of you who are willing to come out to SC and help us move are more than welcome! wink wink.
