Georgia

We made a quick trip (6 hour drive!) to Georgia this past weekend. We drove to North Atlanta for Josh's little brother, Seth's, lacrosse game! Josh and I had never been to a game nor watched lacrosse before so it was a learning experience! Seth played great and Greenbriar won both games! GO PACK! Seth is goalie, in the first picture is on the far left, #28, and of course in the second picture he's at the goal. ;)


After the game we drove back to Josh's parent's house in Evans (right outside of Augusta). It was late so we all crashed as soon as we go there, and it was there church yard sale the next morning. They had to be there by 5:30, so Josh and I "slept in". We change time zones when we go to there house, so when Josh set the alarm for 7, I knew it was really 6, he can't fool me! But I knew we needed to get going, so I only mumbled a few growls at him about it being Saturday. ha! We headed over to the yard sale where I found a high chair for $3! yippee! The one I got is $25 in stores! We left the yard sale, then Josh and I rode with Mr. Allen to Home Depot and Augusta Marine. I'm not really sure what we got in Home Depot, I went and priced some doors (So my sweet husband can replace our ugly one's!) Then headed over to Augusta Marine, so Josh could drool over this pretty boat he wants. Keep dreaming buddy!

We packed up our stuff and headed to Providence Ferry-Lake Thurmond (aka-Josh's parent's lake house!) Josh & Mr. Allen had there mind set up that they were going to hook up the satellite on Saturday. So, while Judy, Seth and I sat back in recliners, snacked, walked around the house, snacked some more, reclined some more....6 hours later, they still haven't figured it out. They have it rigged but Judy told them to give it up, she would call an electrician next week! ;) The whole afternoon we begged them to put the boat in the water, but that never happened. 


Mr. Allen smoked a yummy boston butt! We ate dinner, then Josh & I headed our for a little ride on the golf cart down to the lake.



Sunday morning, as I'm packing our stuff and helping clean up some (Josh & Mr. Allen are still trying to figure out the satellite!) Josh's cell phone rings. I find that it's Seth, who had gone for a ride on the golf cart with Dixie. This is how the conversation goes...

Seth: Hey, uhh..Whitney?
Me: Yeah?
Seth: Where's Josh?
Me: Working on the satellite
Seth: Umm, I might need some help.
Me: Okay...
Seth: I'm stuck......

Judy and I jump in the truck to ride down and survey the damage. Sure enough, he's STUCK! 2/3 of the back tire is in mud, ha! We call Josh and Mr. Allen, saying indeed we couldn't be of any help and they needed to come! 

They tried a little push....
 Not happening, new plan! They drove the truck down on the little sand bar and pulled it right out! 
 Seth's punishment? He had to wash the golf cart! :) And we made fun of him a little too! ;) 
Love ole' Seth in-law! 

It's really a wonder I made it home, Josh is not a very good driver in traffic. Well, let me re-phrase that, he's a good driver, but has TERRIBLE road rage! I can't tell you how many times he laid on the horn at someone going the speed limit. I heard "The speed limit is 70! You can go 75, get out of my way!!" or "People in Georgia don't know how to drive!" "Get up out my way!", etc. The list could go on forever. I pressed my imaginary break probably a thousand times, and held onto my "oh crap strap!" a good bit! With a lot of prayer, and a lot of just closing my eyes, I made it their safely and back!..wooo! what a ride! :)
