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....

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

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?

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

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a

Reflections

I am currently about to be done with my last class ever in PA school. That fact combined with the fact that I have to turn in my computer in about an hour has inspired me to blog! I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is almost done. As I look back over my life, I think of the many things that I have done and sacrificed to prepare for this moment. High school and working hard to make the best grades possible and be involved so that I could achieve something and do something with my life. College and majoring in Biology so that I could go into the health care field. Figuring out that I wanted to go to PA school and my course changing. I ended up having to take about 36 extra hours on top of biology courses just to get the pre-reqs I needed for PA school. I remember back to the application process and attempting to make sure everything was in order. Then I was devastated when I did not get into PA school that first time. I began a job after we got married at the Heart Center to
