Chick-fil-a Bowl Ringin' in the New Year!

Ryan was given tickets to the Chick-fil-a bowl for Christmas by my parents. The game was at the Georgia Dome yesterday, New Year's Eve, and featured the South Carolina Gamecocks versus the Florida State Seminoles. The game was a bust because our best player got hurt and we lost, but we still had a fun adventure.

We stayed in Decatur, Georgia which was a little north of Atlanta. We took the Marta, which actually dropped us off right at the stadium. There were tons of other fans riding the trains with us.

The Georgia Dome is pretty awesome....here are some pictures....




Ryan cheering on the Gamecocks!


Before the game started, they released all of these parachutes with Chick-fil-a coupons attached and they floated down to the seats. We didn't get one, but it looked awesome.

I loved this cow and his blimp that was riding around the stadium

Our free stuffed cow fell over in Ryan's drink

My stepdad and little brother were there too...they were staying somewhere different and met us at the game. This is Ken watching the game.

After the game, we got back on the Marta bus to take us to the hotel. The Marta was crazy. All the fans from the game were pushing each other onto the bus, and we could hardly even breathe once we got onto the train. I had a mild panic attack, but we made it all the way back safely. We got back to watch the ball drop and ring in the New Year at about 11:58. It was fun!!

So now, we are working on our resolutions and goals for the next year. Wishing all of you great blessing in 2011. What are some of your goals/resolutions?

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
