Yes I know it has been five days since the Auburn and South Florida game. But I wanted to take my time to fully examine the game last Saturday night. First the background story Danielle and myself left Saturday morning to drive seven hours up to the game. I tried to tell her on the way up that South Florida had a chance to win but she would not listen. As we were driving up we kept seeing Auburn and South Florida flags flying in the cars and I would blow my horn when I seen a South Florida fan. So we meet up with Danielle's family to go to the game and they even tried to get me to wear a orange and blue shirt but I did not let them to sway my conviction. Instead I wore my Green South Florida polo shirt and I was even nice enough not to wear my Gator hat. So we get down to the university and we park. I am getting excited but its only 6 o clock and the game don't start till eight. So we have to watch the Tiger walk and it was cool they had the band playing and the masses were all waiting for the players to walk by and they did. The only problem we had going to the game was that we had no tickets. So about an hour before the game Brother Rick was able to find seven tickets all right beside each other. For twenty bucks a piece. Which was great but also bad because they had to listen to my cheering for the Bulls. Granted to the fact that there is not a another green shirt with in another 100 feet from me. So the game finally gets started after waiting so long and the Bulls start the scoring off with a touchdown. Which is great and the defense of the Bulls is holding Auburn to very little yardage so far. Auburn comes back and scores a field goal which was pretty good for the kicker because he had no time to prepare. We then get another touchdown and now it is 14 to 3 and the fans in the stadium are pretty much quiet. But the Bulls cannot keep the tiggers from scoring and they allow them to score a touch down. By the end of the half Auburn is ahead 17 to 14. At the start of the third period South Florida was able pick up three fumbles and one interception but to no avail because our kicker missed two field goals and two field goals block. By the fourth quarter our kicker finally made a field goal to tie the game. By the end of regulations the two teams were tied 20 to 20. Auburn was first to go in overtime and the Bulls held to to a field goal. Now South Florida has a chance to win all they have to do is score a touch down to win. They rush the ball and get a first down. It gets to third down and about six yards when the Bulls go into a spread out offense with four wide receivers and Matt Grothe hits Jessie Hester for the winning touchdown. Now during this whole over time the fans are standing up and cheering their heads off But after the touchdown pass the whole stadium goes quite. Living in Florida I have seen some quite times in my life when a small hurricane eye went over our house the outside went completely calm and quite but that doesn't even compare to the type of silence that I heard that night after the Bulls Beat the Auburn tiggers. I have one quote I want to bring up and it was made by my darlin wife the non believer.

" Well dear, I wore your shirt to support your little team today, after all we are going next weekend to watch my team whop up on your even littler team. haha.When you wake up from your nap and delusions of winning stop dancing around in your brain, then get back with all of our bloggers on real expectations for next weekend"

I want to say one little thing GO BULLS!!!!!!

Today we had a good time hanging out with Brother Buddy and various Church members over at Brother Matt and Sister Kerry's house. It is always such a joy to hang out at their house and to play with the little ones and visit with other church members. When we first got there the little ones were ready for the pool, and they wanted me and Singing Gary (he's the song leader at church) to get in with them. So Gary got in and proceeded to blow water gun fish at the kids and spin them on the intertubes. I left my shirt on and fetched toys around the pool and helped the smaller ones until Gary hosed me down. I lunged at him not really thinking about the fact that there was a pool there and he tried to drown me. Glad to say that Sister Kelly loaned me a shirt and we managed lunch.




After lunch we had a good time talking and visiting with Brother Buddy and Sister Tina. The Lord seems to really be in the matter of him moving. Even though the housing market in Florida is rediculous we managed to find a great house for them, where the girls can sleep two to a room, and Abel and his mother can have their own rooms, even room to study. We are very excited with all the blessings. Brother Buddy was able to sell the house in 8 days, and we hope to move him down end of this month beginning of next. The Lord really seems to be very much in the matter. While I was talking with Brother Buddy, Gary was getting pictures of dress up. Jessica is Simba, Abbey Rose is a mom with a baby (she really likes making faces at Brother Gary), and Katie Sue is a fairy princess. It was a FANTASTIC DAY!

Yes finally it is here College Football. I know what took so long right! And if you don't know me I am a Huge Gator fan! Yes the National Champions not only Football but Basketball a well. But I will move on. Its great once again to get up and watch ten different college games and cheer for your favorite teams. Mine go as follow University Of Florida, South Florida Bulls, UCF, Miami, Florida State, and the SEC conference. Next weekend we are heading up to Auburn to watch them play against South Florida. I can't wait for the game to see if my Bulls and Auburn play. Now I know the Tigers should win but let me give a few reasons why they should have some trouble with the Bulls.


1. First the returning Quarterback for South Florida Matt Grothe is dangerous on the ground and deadly in the air. Last year as a Freshman quarterback and took the Bulls to a 9-4 record. He rushed for 800 yards and passed for 2500 yards.

2. Last year the bulls were lacking in rushing with injures. This year they have four backs that can take charge and relieve Matt from having to carry the whole load.

3. Third the Bulls have nine returning starters for the Bulls defense. They are not as big as you would like but they have excellent play makers and a great secondary.

4. Last the receiving corp for the the Bulls will surprise you they have speed and toughness that can revival any secondary in college football.

I can't wait to see who will win!!

For those of you who have not heard I finally got a job. Gary and I were going to have some serious trouble with bills this next month if I had not found a job by the end of the month and the Lord came through for us.

I'm working for Transam Associates, a medical transcription company. There are three parts to the business. They train people through an online school how to do medical transcriptions, they sell software and train others to use it in transcribing, and then they actually do transcribing for various doctors around the country. The couple that owns the business Linda and Alan, run it out of their home. They have this big beautiful house, and our offices are on one side, and they live on the other. It's a really nice set up. My job is to help Linda out with the last aspect of the business. In the last three to four months it has grown to the point that she can't handle assigning all the doctors to various transcriptionist and opening new accounts, and I'm helping with that, along with odds and ends that she needs doing. Right now, it's a full time job, BUT it may or may not stay that way, we'll see. I really enjoy working with them though, they are very Godly people and very sweet and considerate. VERY unlike some of the evil slavedrivers I've worked for (like the theatre).

I am really enjoying the job. They are letting me continue to have Monday mornings off to help the sisters down at the church, and I'm very grateful for that. They might even let me have off first Tuesdays to eat lunch with some of the sisters.

The only big draw back is that I work 9-5:30. I'm only 20 minutes from there, but traffic makes it at least a 40 minute drive. I'm glad to be able to help Gary with the bills by making a little money; however, I feel like I'm neglecting the house, and he's cooked almost all of this week, because he beats me home by 30 minutes or more everyday. I'm just hoping that I can still keep up my responsiblities at home as well as this extra job.
