Flood

Ok so many of you know that we had a HISTORIC flood here in Georgia last week. Well, we happen to live in one of the counties that was hit the hardest. School was out for a whole week and I was out of work for 3 days (I-20 was shut completely down and roads were closed everywhere so I could not get to work). Andy was out of town when the flooding began and only came into town for a short 16 hours to help with some clean up and was off again. We were very lucky to only have a portion of our basement flooded. We have removed the carpet and some drywall and will be trying to fix it in the near future. However, there are people around us that were not so fortunate - they have lost everything. Please pray for this people as they are trying to rebuild their lives. If you would like to help - you can donate items, money, or your time please check out www.westridge.com for more information on how you can help. Here is some pictures of the flooding of the lake and common areas in our neighborhood.

GATOR NATION

Sorry for the long time between posts - but today I will be posting twice to fill you in on all that is going on in the Rose household.

First of all, my husband finally got his Father's Day gift on Sept 12th when our family heading to the Florida vs. Troy game at The Swamp in Gainesville. If you didn't know my husband has always been a HUGE GATOR fan all of his life. He lives for Gator football. He is always wearing one of his MANY Gator shirts. I even think his favorite colors are blue and orange. So for Father's Day this year I bought 4 tickets to go see the Gators in action. We are all huge Gator fans and Tim Tebow fans so we were excited for the day to begin.

When we first woke up that Saturday morning we were greeted with the Gator buses in front of our hotel. We were a little confused but then realized the Florida football team had stayed in our very hotel that night. So as we were going to breakfast we saw all the Gator players head to the buses to go to the stadium. It was pretty cool. So we were off to the stadium to watch the game. As typical Florida weather would have it - it rained during the 2nd and 3rd quarter. But we pulled out our ponchos and made a great time of watching Gator football in the rain. The Gators of course won and we all loved the energy in that stadium that day for the Gators. I think we will be heading back next year for another game:) Here are some pictures of us at the game. Enjoy!!

My Best Friend's Wedding

Back on Friday, August 28, 2009 I had the honor of being one of the two Matrons of Honor in my best friend's wedding. Terri Beth and Eric got married at The Grandview at Rock City. And I was honored when she wore my veil as something borrowed. It was a beautiful wedding and a fun reception. I think me and Addyson danced all night long. I always knew that God would send Terri Beth a man he wanted her to marry and I am so glad he did. She may had to wait a few years longer than me but God sent her Eric who is wonderful to her. I am so happy for these two and so glad that they live close. (Like in the neighbordhood) Here are some pictures of the day. Congrats Terri Beth and Eric Rowland!!
