"Lemme lemme update-update ya"....

kinda like Beyonce sings in that DirecTV "upgrade ya" commercial. that just owns me for some reason.

what a great signing day for Bama! back-to-back #1 recruiting classes per Rivals.com! i know that these are just 17 and 18 year old kids, but you have to like Bama's odds of being competitive in the next few years. that's alot of good talent coming in to T'town! plus, we stole a few recruits from Louisiana and LSU to knock them out of the top spot. that was sweet. those Bama/LSU games should be awesome in the next few years.

speaking of Bama, our "Bama Room" is almost painted. just a word of advice to anyone considering painting a room crimson or any shade of red: be prepared for MULTIPLE coats. the first primer coat looked streaky and pink once it dried. so did the 2nd one. i put the 3rd coat of Sunday afternoon, and it's looking pretty good. it will still need 1 or 2 more coats before it's done. but it's looking really really good. i promise the next post will have pictures of it. :)

brooke is doing awesome in school. she's in her last semester of classwork. then, she has one year of clinical rotations left before she's DONE!!! she's already got her schedule for her rotations, and she is pumped. i'm so proud of her hard work. she's hosting Bunco for our girls from church tonight. woohoo!

our master bathroom is also coming along nicely. i've got 2 more pieces of sheetrock to put up. then, i can start building the knee wall and painting. we've already got the tile for the floor. it won't be long from here!

Teale and I found out the same thing when we painted a crimson wall in our basement. I just kept painting and painting and painting and painting. Eventually it did look good, but it seemed like that last coat was never going to come.
