Well, we're in T-town!! We flew into Atlanta last night, where Martha and Dexter picked us up and we all drove to Rachel and Jeff's beautiful home in Tuscaloosa, AL. It's crazy that they have lived here for nearly three (I think?) years and this is the first time we've seen their home in AL.
After waking up to three of the most precious kids you have ever seen in your life, it makes me wish they lived 5 minutes away like they did in Athens when I was in college at UGA so this Aunt Erin could see them all the time. Samuel and Ellie Kate were so cute this morning when I came downstairs. They were so excited to see us and wanted to go jump on Ryan in bed to wake him up. When they found him already awake, they were so excited and ran and pounced on him.
Now, Samuel's at school and the girls are at Mother's morning out, so we're going to go explore this town! Rachel has a whole itinerary set for us, complete with seeing the campus, seeing the cute shops around here, Bryant museum, and Ryan and I are going to go eat lunch with Samuel at school.
It's so fun for me to see this town that they live in and the town that Ryan grew up coming to so much throughout his childhood for games and to visit his sister when she was in college at U of A.
Anyways, while I'm on this whole catching up kick, let's just go ahead and get on

to this past weekend too before it gets overlooked...
One of my very best friends from home came up to visit - this was like her 7th trip to Durham since I've lived here, so if coming all the way to Durham to see me is any indication of how much my friends love me, then Britney loves me the most! :) Another unnamed friend did not end up making it this weekend. Something about a 5k that she planned way back when or something and the Britney trip was a last minute one that came together....clearly, she doesn't love me. 5 notches down the friend list she goes. I won't name any names though...Laura might get upset with me! ;) I'm kidding..Laura has made the 5 hour drive more than once by herself to visit.
But she did miss out on some good Cheesecake Factory cheesecake that we had to celebrate Britney's birthday with... mmm!
My parents also ended up coming up at the last minute so two weekends in a row we had a full house, which we love!
First time I've ever caught the three amigos walking together in the Devil's Walk before...and Mom getting a hug from Banks.
My parents at the Devil's walk... ha, check out Mom's "Duke #10" bag. She flips it around when she goes to Florida games and the other side says "Florida #45" in orange with TJ's button on it.
Is she a soccer mom football mom or what? :)
BBB-ritney! Everything is more fun with Britney...I'm still trying to talk her into MOVING to Durham! There's lots of medical opportunities here for a Nurse Practitioner I'm sure! (that's my argument anyways)
We played Army for our homecoming game, so it was also Military Appreciation Day. There was a flyover and parachuters brought in the NC flag and the game ball.
Ryan and Dad waiting for the team to come out of the tunnel.
Here they come...and there's our number #10!
Here comes the team, led by our Matt Pridemore carrying the American Flag! I was so excited about this because Matt is one of the most patriotic people I know and he was chosen by Coach Cutcliffe to carry the American flag on Homecoming/Military Appreciation Day against Army!
Here he comes!
At the end of the game, our team went over to stand with Army during the playing of their fight song.
It was a really cool game atmosphere and a really fun weekend with Britney.
Now I'm off to explore this town!
