Auburn High Volleyball Rocks!

at 10/21/06 9:02PM

Long drive to Enterprise, AL ends in a glorious region triumph for Auburn! Early victories today over senior-laden Dothan and scrappy Montgomery Carver set up a region final with the home team, an overconfident Enterprise. We lost games 1 & 2 (22-25; 23-25). Auburn then turned it up another notch... 25-19; 25-23 and 15-11 to shock the home team. Record: 35-15.

A win in sub-state Thursday at home will land Auburn in the Elite Eight at the State Championship a week from Thursday. My little kitty played her little heart out. What a day!

Sub-State game versus Daphne is at 3:30 Thursday at Auburn High.

TWO Teenagers!

at 10/20/06 9:30AM

As of tomorrow, Sheri and I will be raising two teenagers. It's hard to believe that he will be 13.

good luck.

by tnerbydoom at 10/20/06 10:19AM

by derbydi at 10/20/06 11:19AM
It's happening fast, isn't it?

by mamamia at 10/20/06 11:27AM

Better you than me. But I guess I will get there some day.

by patermagister at 10/20/06 1:16PM
MAKE IT STOP!

by AlanL at 10/20/06 1:20PM
Rob Miller added up and pointed out for us when Abigail was born that we would have at least one teenager in our home for 17 straight years. Scary. Have fun.

by nornie at 10/20/06 1:37PM
but! You have good sermons! I enjoy them!

by autatalicious at 10/20/06 3:28PM
Sorry! If it is any comfort, boys are easier than s.

by textilet at 10/20/06 3:29PM

by yoyoma at 10/20/06 3:44PM

by yoyoma at 10/20/06 3:44PM

Brett, The Ball Boy

at 10/16/06 8:56AM

Brett is going to be a ball boy at three Auburn basketball games this year. The only game that has an opponent of some significance is the game on January 23rd against ALABAMA!!

THE GAME against Florida...Attending that game is one of the top 3 sporting events in my life. The other two were a high school basketball game in Indiana years ago and the Indianapolis 500. I enjoyed every minute, especially that tenacious defense in the second half. What an atmosphere too...a raucous crowd at Jordan-Hare. I didn't even mind sitting next to Stacy Norman, a Gator fan wearing a Gator sweatshirt (after all, he got me the FREE ticket!).

After the game was over, everybody stayed! Everyone just started chanting, "It's great to be an Auburn Tiger" (everybody except the aforementioned forlorn Gator fans).

hush...we are not happy about that. the bcs dissed us big time.

by adampual at 10/16/06 9:58AM
no i will not forever be a student...it fills like it but no

by aucowgirl at 10/16/06 9:59AM
Wish we could have been there!!!

by janjan at 10/16/06 10:41AM
WAR EAGLE!!!

by janjan at 10/16/06 10:41AM
*feels like it...i'm dumb

by aucowgirl at 10/16/06 11:13AM
I bet you can hardly take all this exciting sports news!

I hope they give free tickets to the ball boy's dad!

by textilet at 10/16/06 12:10PM
It's Great
to be
A DU-LUTH
Wildcat!

We must have had some Gators somewhere in the the past.

Do you think every SEC school has the same fight song? Except maybe TN - UGH!

by textilet at 10/16/06 12:15PM
I saw your extremely disappointing comment on her blog. I can't argue with it, unfortunately. It was a totally different defense in the second half than what played in the first. Of course, the Gators also gave AU plenty of opportunity to capitalize on mistakes. Lucky you for scoring a trip to see it live!!

by blagosloven_chovek at 10/16/06 1:17PM
Not with our record!

by textilet at 10/16/06 1:58PM
you would.

by adampual at 10/16/06 3:29PM
I totally agree about avoiding those natural disasters. It's common sense, huh? We'll be back for the Georgia game.

by mattandrach at 10/16/06 8:05PM
I was at EPCOT during the game, that's probably why they lost. I should have watched :)

by joes_wife at 10/16/06 8:18PM
No it's at the new hospital...The Medical Center of SeTX. Hope yall are well!

Oh and I understand you have to win 4 games...lol.

by bah at 10/17/06 2:36PM
Thanks Tony.

by tnerbydoom at 10/17/06 10:14PM
war eagle. and thank you for having me over for dinner tonight. I really enjoy spending time with ya'll!!

by rica5219 at 10/18/06 9:33PM
you would be happy to know i used Luke 17:32 as the focal point of tonight's invitation on how we must leave our former lives behind and follow Christ.

by adampual at 10/19/06 12:28AM
his comment cracked me up!!

by rainout at 10/19/06 9:43AM
haha! yes, in fact, i did!

by adampual at 10/19/06 10:44AM

Enjoyed the Drive to Montgomery Today...

at 10/12/06 8:38PM

I went to watch Sheli ("Kitty") and the Auburn girls volleyball team play against a tough Trinity Episcopal team. The scores: 21-25, 26-24, 23-25, 25-22, 10-15. Unfortunately, an injury hampered Auburn's efforts in the final and deciding game. Driving back with my Kitty and spending time with her was so special. I love that treasure God gave me (Psalm 127:3).

While I was in Montgomery, I noticed something. Gas prices are A LOT cheaper. It's almost worth the drive over to buy gas at $2 a gallon versus $2.20 in Auburn. As one father of a teammate who owns a landscaping business said, "Yeah, you should always leave Auburn with an empty tank." Oh, well...Auburn is still a cool and beautiful place to live.

Let's show Florida who's boss on Saturday...War Eagle!!!

by cmvermont at 10/12/06 9:36PM
haha i'm a huge daddy's girl and i LOVE just driving with my dad. when i go home and we want our special time, we go driving around for hours (when we can afford it) rather than going to eat. its the best time to talk and get stuff off my chest

by aucowgirl at 10/12/06 10:01PM
She's a cutie, too! Do you and Sheri believe in arranged marriages???

by derbydi at 10/12/06 10:30PM
Talked to my son tonight (Jonathan Hudson), he said there was a tornado threat last night. I asked him what they did. He said, went to church. They thought that was the best place for them to be. What a blessing! We always hope we have taught them the right things to do as they grow up and I believe we did.

by karen at 10/12/06 10:49PM
Raceway at 146 and I-10... $1.96.

by AlanL at 10/12/06 11:11PM
She never asked us that question!

My last tank was $1.96/gal.

by textilet at 10/13/06 5:37AM
How was your meeting in St. Louie?? Gas here is about $2.20 and that is a far cry from what it was a month or so ago. It topped out at $3.19, Glad it is down as I am headed to the Smokies over the weekend. Have a great day.

by memers at 10/13/06 6:00AM
Hey Tony! Just saw you on her blog. This is Juline, BTW. Joe is here too. :) So are you not a Texas fan now that you live in Auburn?

by joes_wife at 10/13/06 8:12AM
normally, yes, but this week it took me until yesterday to be ready for some more Auburn football. last week was a huge disappointment.

by penderau at 10/13/06 8:48AM
Hey Tony! This is Keely! How are you doing? We really miss yall. I hope that things are going good for you. How is everyone? Hope to hear from you soon!

by keelycherie at 10/13/06 9:34AM
I bought gas yesterday for $1.97...that was in Baytown of course. Tell Kitty I said hi ;)

by jamie at 10/13/06 12:31PM
yes, war eagle indeed.

by adampual at 10/13/06 12:55PM
Have Jonathan tell you about what happened in 1994. It has to do with a tornado.

by karen at 10/13/06 6:59PM
Wow! Your house looks great. Are you excited? It look so awesome. When are yall coming to visit

by keelycherie at 10/14/06 9:33PM
THAT was some ending to that Auburn game last night...we ALL watched the last quarter and couldn't believe it!

by rainout at 10/15/06 1:44PM

Daylight Savings Time Is Ending Soon

at 10/11/06 5:05PM

Darkness will fall in Auburn around 5 p.m. starting October 29th. That will move to around 4 p.m. by the end of the year. The good news (trying to be optimistic) is that Daylight Savings is scheduled to begin earlier next spring...March 11th and last longer...until November 4th. So, we will just have to hang in there for 132 days. Unless, of course, the Lord returns. Are you ready?

Good post. We get so busy in the day-to-day that sometimes we forget that the Lord could very well return at any moment. Thanks for the reminder.
On the Daylight Savings, we'll have to try to hang in there till next year! I guess there are advantages to it. I just can't think of any right now!

by derbydi at 10/11/06 5:10PM
i love it getting dark early...of course i love winter

by aucowgirl at 10/11/06 5:54PM
I probably will becuase my cooking, i'm sure, is not as good as Sherri's cooking.

by bamachick at 10/11/06 6:17PM
That's wonderful news for me... as I will be going to bed right about that time to wake up at midnight to deliver your all's christmas presents...

by simpwildcat at 10/11/06 6:24PM
Why can't they just can the daylight savings time? What would it take to get that done?

by patermagister at 10/11/06 6:35PM
Tony, I responded to your patermagister comment at the SAME time you did. Cool huh.

by carolattheriver at 10/11/06 9:06PM
YAY for daylight savings!! Less hours at work (work being the golf course...)! This is Meagan, by the way. Get any birdies on the short course the other day?

by buttermilk at 10/11/06 10:27PM
nice......

by natethegreat at 10/11/06 11:44PM

funny thing is, they're standing at the top of a slope...just looks like a cliff from that angle. believe me, i was out of breath!

by rainout at 10/12/06 12:53PM
Day light savings time is rough, especially if you like to golf later in the day. I guess I'll be going out at 7am, instead of 2pm.

by tnerbydoom at 10/12/06 1:43PM
piece of cake! those things come down the belt daily, shipped from Dell themselves. Do you have a particular delivery date that you want it by? i'm sure i can get one of those things outta the center without anybody noticing...
