Tuscaloosa

Road to 15-SEC Championship

December 2, 2012

Two weeks ago, I thought all hope was lost. We had our first loss to Texas A&M and we fell to #5 in the BCS. We had 3 teams to get past in order to get that coveted 1 or 2 bid to the National Championship. The very next week, #1 and #2 …

Third time is a charm-All Fired Up 2012

November 9, 2012

Holiday traditions come and go, but this one is favorite. Our first 4 months of marriage included a terrorist attack (10 days after our wedding), a job loss (due to terrorist attack), loss of a car (it died), and serious flu/illness for me. By the time the holidays came around, we had very …

Moving forward 5.4.12.

May 3, 2012

One year after the storms destroyed our church building, we broke ground on our new one. Shovel-ready the way we do it in Alabama. . . immediately. This man deserves way more than he makes. Our mayor Walt Maddox. He was great before the storms. His leadership …

April 27, 2012

This one has nothing to do with running. Or food. Or being healthy. This is strictly life-casting. I’ve been stuck for the past few days on what to blog about and the only thing that has been on my mind in the past year and what our town has done to rebuild after last year’s [...]

Pike’s training hike #2

March 21, 2012

It’s only a few weeks until we attempt the 13 mile hike up the face of Pike’s Peak in Colorado. After 3 years of driving or riding the Cog Railway to the summit, we’ve made a bet with the devil that we flatlanders can hike it like normal mountain people. All it takes is a [...]

I’ll take “It’s about to get real” for a thousand, Alex.

March 1, 2012

Well, here we go again. Tomorrow is probably the biggest strongest risk of severe weather we’ve had in my neck of the woods since April 27th. See that orange purple spot in Central Alabama. Those aren’t happy colors. The STP is “significant tornado parameter”. It’s about 45% for my area. That means …

Are you ready for some college FOOTBALL?

January 9, 2012

My 46 day streak of wearing Alabama Crimson Tide shirts/scarves/pants/hats will come to an end tomorrow. I didn’t wear a shirt every day, all day, but at some point during the past 46 days, I had on something representing my beloved Alabama. No matter what the outcome, I will proudly wear my Alabama shirt tomorrow [...]
