Maybe I'll give this another go, maybe this will be my only post for another year. Who knows?!?! I'm not going to stress about it, that's for sure.
So, hockey season has started and yes, I'm feeling quite bitter. There's a lot of bad press circling Atlanta fans, or, lack thereof, if you believe what's being written. I need to remind people that our average attendance, no, wasn't in the high teens, but it was over 13,000 per game...that's more than a handful of other teams out there. Also, need a little reminding that yes, hockey can work in the South- go to a Carolina, Tampa Bay or Nashville game to witness that. Am I going to blame it entirely on the former owners? No, I guess not, but, I would say that they should bare the brunt. I saw what a little caring would have done when I went to my first Preds game in Nashville over the weekend. It wouldn't have taken much.
Anyway, moving on- Gavin started Kindergarten this year. How fun it's been!!! He loves school! I know he's not bored anymore because he doesn't bite his nails. Wow, I didn't realize how ready he was to leave Oak Grove CDC.
I turned 40 in September. Still in denial. 'Nuff said.
Jeff and I took our first trip alone together for said birthday. We had a blast in St. Simons doing well, whatever we wanted!!! The weather was excellent and the "boutique hotel" we stayed in was fabulous! We definitely want to do that again. It was nice just watching whatever we wanted to on TV...eating when we wanted to, or just shopping wherever we wanted to! Gavin stayed home with Gigi and Pop Pop and had a blast! I called them the first night to check in and it was like I was interrupting their fun! Perfect! Already planning the next trip!
For Dad's 70th birthday (wow on that, by the way), we planned a surprise birthday party. It was so great, we had a bunch of family come into town from Michigan, south Florida, South Carolina, he was totally surprised! It was the best present he could get. We all had such a good time and it was so nice hanging out with the family again. Especially since we hadn't seen them in such a long time.
Ok, going to go nurse my cold a little more. Signing off for now, hopefully, not another year!
