Happy Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving started at 5am with both of us having to get up to go to work. The Recreation Association Annually Turkey Trot Race went off with out a hitch. There is a first year for everything :)

We had 1200 people this year running Thanksgiving morning.

We packed up, cleaned and I was on my way home by 11am. I cleaned the house and started prepping for the Thanksgiving meal. 7 of our friends came over to feast on turkey with home made gravy, twice baked mash potatoes, caramelized onion stuffing, rolls and green been casserole. Pumpkin and apple pie for dessert. Yummy!

After dinner we watched football and some took naps but everyone had an all around good time. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Maybe next year we can all be together.

AFL Grand Final

Well the AFL (Australian Rules Football) Final was on Saturday, September 27, 2008. We had a couple of friends over and watched the Hawthorn Hawks beat the Geelong Cats. Which was a very good thing for our house is a Hawks house. For anyone who has never seen an AFL game, which is very exciting, I have found the highlights of the game on youtube.

29th Birthday

Thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday. Stuart gave me flowers and took me to the beautiful restaurant Red Fish. I still can't believe I only have one more year to go before the big 30.

Golf Tournament 08

Saturday, August 16 the Rec. had it's annual golf tournament held on Daufuskie Island. I had to work it and Stuart got to play. Is that fair? We went over on the Friday night and left after the tournament. Daufuskie is a beautiful place were people mostly use golf carts to get around. Stuart's team didn't win but they were close to the winning score. All in all it was a fun weekend!

Fouth of July 2008

Happy 4th of July to all! We spent a wonderful afternoon at our friends BBQ. We played card games, volleyball, and watched fireworks. Not to mention all the awesome food we ate: ribs, turkey, baked mac & cheese, rice & beans, all sorts of salads, chicken wings, and to top it off a lowcounty boil. There were desserts also but I just didn't get to them.

They went in the morning to catch this crab for the lowcountry boil! The fireworks show was fun, though some didn't quite go where they were suppose to.

Hope you had as great a day as we did!

the simple things

It's the simple things in life that make you smile. I saw these ducks when I was walking home from work. I hope they brighten your day like they did mine.

2 Years

Stuart and I had our 2 year anniversary and decided to take a trip down to Tampa, Florida for the weekend. It is about a 5 hour trip from Hilton Head. We were very excited about getting their and 60 mile out traffic slows on the 3 lane highway. We moved 20 miles in 2 hours and then we stop. Everyone on the road was very friendly. Stuart and I kept are calm. Yes their was no kicking, spiting, or yelling. By the time we got moving again we were starving and pulled of to eat and once we got to the hotel we definitely needed a stiff drink.

Saturday we went to Busch Gardens. The roller coasters were awesome and it was just an all around fun day. It was also great because they had beer stations around every corner. For anyone who doesn't know Anheuser & Co. make Budweiser beer products and owns the amusement park. Which was very good for Stuart and myself. The park is also a safari stlye zoo. The train ride takes you though a lot of the natural habits while animals run free. Very beautiful. The park also had tigers, gorillas and so on. The shows were not really are cup of tea. The end of the day we were exhausted. That night we just stayed in our hotel room, ordered pizza, and watched the Indian Jones movies. We left on Sunday and had no troubles getting back.
