Alright. First of all, I sadly believed all those blogs were true. Once I read Abby's I began to think something was a little fishy. Anyway, in honor of the Barb ORear wanna-bes, I will be the first to give an honest account of the past year of my life... for the record... it starts with the most recent and goes down.



I would like to begin by embarrassingly admitting that this is mine and Ryan's 7th year living at Samford. We have gotten only one values violation so far...an RA found Woodchuck in our fridge. Ryan graduates in December 2010. I was kidding about the violation.




Here we are at Yosemite National Park. This summer Ryan and I spent a week in CA doing some site seeing, backpacking, and hanging out with some of our peeps who happened to be in the neighborhood.

Here is one peep I mentioned earlier. This picture was taken while me, Pat, Ryan, Jme, and her mom were biking in San Fran.

Ryan and Cliff still have yet to beat the tanks game. There are 20 levels, I think, and they got to level 18 at one point this year... cant really remember when this happened. It was a momentous occasion regardless.

Ryan had to do an internship for one of his Beeson classes so we got to live in Costa Rica for 3 weeks in June. During that time, we were able to hang out with Susan. It was awesome to see what her life has consisted of while she has been in Costa Rica. I can't tell if those kids are flipping off the camera Costa Rican style...anyway...

In the Spring, I coached the boys and girls tennis team. Here we are in all of our glory. We did alright... we won some but then got killed by teams like Mountain Brook and Vestavia. I am coaching again this Spring but it shouldn't be as stressful this year because they hired a 2nd coach. These next three pictures are from my Middle School's Career Fair this past Spring. Cory, Pat, and Jamie did awesome. Jamie kept forcing kids to give a pretend shot in this black arm which freaked some of the kiddies... but overall it was awesome.

In other news, I have started on my Exercise Physiology masters at UAB. Im just taking one night class a week so it hasn't been too bad. Ryan and I get to now be nerds together, HURRAY!

Anyway. ta-dah. There is a quick run down. You all keep the updates coming! Love you guys!
