Election Day

I have been trying to vote for the past week - during the early voting... Well that didn't work out for me because the lines were 4 to 5 1/2 hours long and I was not trying to wait that long. So I decided to wait until Election Day, so that I could take Frank and he could witness the vote for the 1st African American President of the United States (YAY)! I drag myself out of bed at 5 am so that I can get in line by 5:30. Frank is knocked out and is not trying to participate - so I leave to stand in line. I was at least inside the building waiting (unilike early voting conditions). I had to wait until 7 am when the polls opened. It was worth the wait! I felt so proud to vote for Barack Obama. I even had Antonio our voting (this was his first time voting - slacker)! I was apart of history today and I appreciate it!

Shiloh Football

Let me just give you the breakdown of the past couple of games. Since I am three weeks behind, I will just add all the pictures from the previous weeks. October 18th - Shiloh v. Lawrenceville since both teams had lost 1 game a piece they were fighting for the division championship. Shiloh won the game and the division (Go SHILOH)!!! They were ranked 5th in the playoff bracket and the first playoff game was on their home field. October 25th - they played Mill Creek and it was an exciting game! The score was 22-6. And Shiloh moved on the 2nd round of the playoffs. November 1st - Shiloh v. Grayson and this was a nail biter! This Grayson team had two running backs and they were the truth. They ran the Wing-T offense, which is a hard offense to control. Once the backs hit the outside it is very hard to shut them down. And Grayson's #5 was killing them on the run. He scored two touchdowns in the first quarter - and we were down 12-0. Our boys never gave up because they came back and scored a touchdown, so at half-time the score was 12-6 (Grayson up). After half-time our boys came out ready to play... we immediately scored on our first drive and the score was now 14-12 (Shiloh up). But that little Grayson #5 would not stop and he scored right after us, the score is 14-18 (Grayson). So now we have 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter and we fake the run and pass the ball to Ty (our little Deion Sanders) and he catches and scores (the crowd goes wild - AHHHHHHHHHHHHH)! and Jaylen comes in with the field goal....he kicks and it's good!!!! The score is now 22-18 and we have a 1 minute and 45 seconds left to play. So the objective is too hold #5 and #1 so they cannot score again. Grayson hands the ball to #5 and he is almost gone but is wrapped up. Then they hand the ball to #1 and he is hit so hard that he comes out the game with a concussion (go Frank what a hit), so now we only have to worry about #5 and they are all over him. So the game is a wrap - Shiloh wins 22-18. Round three is going down this weekend against Buford... Its going down..

Fifth Grade Program

October 17, 2008 - Centerville Elementary recognized the students with good grades and 5th grade representatives. Frank was appointed to class representative for Ms. Clarke's class. This kid is so popular it is funny! I walk in and he looking all embarrased (but he invited me to come)! Then he gives me the axe signal on my camera. So now I am there and I can't even take pictures (WTF).... But I took pictures anyway (lol)!!!! Basically Frank was recognized for Honor Roll (he had 6 A's and 1 B). His third "B" - in his entire school career. He got put on punishment not for getting a "B" but for not turning in his writing assignment on time, which caused him to get this "B." He also got an award for Perfect Attendance. I was very proud of Frank standing up there in his football jersey like everyone looking at me.
