Brrrr...

Here is the first snow ball of the year, and I wouldn't be upset if it were the last. 5 days ago I was in 70 degree Jasper, and now... Well... Snow.

Still have a few days home and so far it's been great!

324 Mount Ridge Circle

So I'm home! Amd it's been great. I flew into Rochester yesterday and no one knew but my Dad. We surprised Mom, and she was thankful.

It's been awesome to drive around town and just see the city. I'm excited to spend the next week here and see friends and family.

Big day full of "F's" Family, Food, Football, Friends... What a day!

Hope all is well and you all have a great Thanksgiving.

The Swamp

Our seats at the Florida - South Carolina game.

Go Gators!

Last minute decision... Gator basketball game as a warm up for tomorrow.

Welcome to Atlanta

To the airport I go.

The Swamp... Where only Gators get out alive!

I'm off to Gainesville, Florida tomorrow morning!

My dad is flying into Atlanta and I'll pick him up and well make the trek down to the University of Florida to see the Gators take on South Carolina and the "Ol' Ball Coach."

Big game and even more fun.

I'll surely be posting pictures and updates throughout the weekend.

All together now... Go Gators!

Middle School Trick Play

I came across this today and thought I'd share it with you. Maybe the Buffalo Bills should use it, seems to be about the only way they might win...

All I Do is Win

Tonight, our SharpTop staff had our first two games of our flag football season. And we won... both.

We won 8-0 and 12-7. I'm not going to lie we are pretty good. I'm the quarterback and it's so fun to get out there in such a competitive atmosphere with my friends and co-workers. The league plays Monday nights in Woodstock, Georgia.

Our defense is pretty awesome, if you couldn't tell by the scores. We allowed just one touchdown in two games. I'm pretty stinkin' lucky to play with these guys.

Another week in the kitchen, and then off to Gainesville, Florida with my Dad to see the Gators play on Saturday!!

Last weekend in the kitchen went well. It was really exciting to get to work with the work crew. Work crew consists of roughly 30 high school volunteers to help cook meals. It's great to see young people come and serve their peers. What an example of service and Christ's love for others. We cooked for 541 guests.

It is definitely a different perspective than Guest Services. I loved GS, but the kitchen gives such a different view of service. It's very tangible. GS was a lot of things that most people never recognized, but in the kitchen it's hard not to notice when 1,000 pieces of French Toast go out the door. Or 650 chicken sandwiches. Pretty awesome!

I hope all is well with everyone and I'm super excited to see my friends and family soon during the Holidays. Take care all and thanks for the support!
