Mike and I head to Myrtle Beach, SC for the weekend

Mike and I took a mini-vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina this past weekend. We headed out on our LONG journey on Friday evening with our puppies, Roxy & Bella. Mike had rented us a BIG o'l Cadillac sedan from his shop; so we were cruising down the highway in style. It took us seven hours to get there! But it was well worth it when we woke up that morning and saw the sun shining out over the marina. We walked the beach with the dogs for a few hours, and as you can see the beach was BEAUTIFUL. I have to admit, the East Coast takes care of their beaches a little better then the West Coast. There was no trash, no pollution, just crystal clear water and white sandy beaches. This trip came at the right time, and helped rejuvenate us and de-stress us.

Cherokee Warriors are the CHAMPIONS!!!

I have coached an 8th grade girls basketball team for the last five months. This past week we had our Tournament of Champions. We beat Milton to advance to the Semi-Finals, and then played Roswell in a close match. We ended up shooting a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the game by ONE point!!! To make that win even sweeter, we beat an ex-NBA player's b-ball team, Antonio Davis. (He played for the Pacers for a long time). We moved on to the Championship round and played our nemesis, Alpharetta. We had lost to them during the season, and so that made us the underdogs. They had a girl on their team that was 6'3", there was just no way to guard her, but somehow we managed. It was an intense game with so many eyes watching. It came down to the final 30 seconds, and we hit our free throws when we needed to. We won that game by ONE point. It was a triumphant win for us, and it felt so good! So we, the Warriors, are the CHAMPIONS of our area!!!!! We beat out all the high and mighty teams that always count out the little guys!
We will be playing in a tournament on February 23rd to see who is the Atlanta area champions. Fingers are crossed for those games.

My Mom and I's trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains

My mom and I went up to Blue Ridge, Georgia on a day trip. We took the puppies and had a great time. It was beautiful up there. The river that is pictured is called the Toccoa. It was about 45 degrees out and the water was probably 40 degrees. The bridge that we are each standing on is called the "Swinging Bridge" and it was built in 1977. We drove 4x4 for 4 miles to get to the trail, and then hiked about a 1/2 mile to get to the bridge.... all the while my mom kept hearing the banjos from Deliverence, we were EXTREMELY back country! But oh well, it was an adventure, we had a good time, and we made it home safely.
