Drunk Trumpet

While I was doing some filing today in my office, I took notice of a photo on my digital picture frame; one Jillian bought me several Christmas’s ago. See below:

This photo was taken at a friend’s house during an Auburn football game. I was inebriated and decided to play my friend’s old trumpet. I was a mess, and somehow I had managed to work this photo into the rotation of pictures displayed in my office. Unfortunately, it appears the rotation had stopped rotating because I noticed this picture was not changing.
I should note that from time to time, the maintenance department shuts down power on campus to do electrical work on certain buildings. From what I can only assume, these power outages managed to clear every picture on the memory card in that picture frame with the exception of the one in which I’m drunk and playing a trumpet. I don’t know when this happened or how long that picture has been prominently displayed in my office, but I’m pretty sure it has been long enough to include visits from both the Vice President of Finance and the school’s Treasurer. It’s certainly embarrassing, but at least it’s not a photo of me doing a keg stand.

Fancy Cars

I walked out of my office this past Friday and was immediately drawn to the really nice cars parked out front. I thought the University President had bought himself a new ride, but they were just loaners from a local dealer that were going to be used that afternoon in a Homecoming Parade. Still, they were really nice rides. I wish someone would loan me one for free.

Auburn Trip 2015

We took our annual trip to Auburn for the Ole Miss game. Unfortunately, we didn't get the win, but it was a close, enjoyable game. I got to spend a little quality time with some college friends and Jillian and I did some shopping after the game.
Auburn had asked fans to wear section specific colors to 'stripe the stadium'. I think 90% or more of the crowd got the message. The end result was impressive.

I'll throw in a couple extra photos from the day. We were able to catch Tiger Walk, even though we were driving in from Montgomery that morning and it was an 11am game. That morning in Montgomery we got a nice little surprise as the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile was parked outside our hotel room

I nearly forgot the best part. We made a quick, morning bathroom stop at Jillian's old church; St. Dunstans. While we were there, the pastor (whom Jillian knew from her days in college) blessed Jillian and the baby.

Baby Room Update

Things are coming together pretty well with the baby room. Pretty much all of the furniture is in the room and assembled. I think all that remains are a side table by the chair and a trash can.
