New Awning

Well we've got our new Sunsetter retractable awning installed now. Jennifer's dad and stepmother came up from around Columbus, Ga. to help us. It actually wasn't too bad to put up, surprisingly. We were very thankful for their help.

Here it is finally

I am finally posting the picture I was talking about from the hockey game this past Saturday. We were kinda far away for my camera phone. It was nice to be at an NHL game again.

Well, it obviously didn't go through. Saturday I had gone to the Atlanta Thrashers home opener with my cousin Aaron. I had taken a picture with my phone during warmups and tried sending it from the arena. I thought it had gone through but I never did get a confirmation back saying that it had posted. Turns out, it's because it hadn't! I'm at work right now and do not have a cell signal in my building but after work, I'll try posting that pic again. Was a great game. Thrashers ended up winning 8-1 over the Washington Capitals. They were up 5-1 in the third period with about 10 mins to go. At that point there was a pretty cool fight. Actually there were 3 different fights going on at the same time. One fight even ended up underneath a goalie net. After the fight Aaron and I left for the Marta (same as the Metro-Link for those of you back in MO.). While waiting for the train I got a text message with the final score. The Thrashers had scored 3 more times in those last 7-10 minutes. Oh well, at least it wasn't like Washington came back to win it or something.

Oh, interesting note for those of you that follow Blues hockey. Found out that a couple ex-Blues now play for Atlanta. Scott Mellanby and Ronald Petrovicky. Mellanby had at least 1 goal and an assist in the game and he is actually the Thrashers' captain as well. Hmm, maybe I can do like I did with getting a Drew Cardinals jersey to wear to Braves games. I can get an old Scott Mellanby Blues jersey to wear to Thrashers games!!

Baby shower for friends

Our small group was having a baby shower for some friends. They are having twins. The whole Thor and Diesel thing is an inside joke. It's not the babies real names. Those would be Preston and Landon.
