The Gator Nation

The Gator Nation
An afternoon with 90,000 of our closest friends at
The Swamp
University of Florida Homecoming Weekend
Ron and Jeffrey, Pre-Game
Me with Ron, Pre-Game Jeff, Alison, Me, and Ron Post-Game at our Seats
Ron and I had GREAT seats. We were seated on the first row
directly above the icon representing the jersey of former coach,
Steve Spurrier. It was an easy landmark for my friends in other
areas of the stadium to find me with. Jeff and Alison sat in the
student section and joined us at the end of the game.
Jeff and Alison
It was great to see them!

At Jeffrey and Alison's totally cute apartment.
They have a perfect location right off campus
They are ready for Halloween.
Katherine and Megan stayed at Jeff and Alison's apartment
during the game...it was better for ALL of us that way.
(not one time did someone ask me how much longer until the game is over)
They enjoyed the parade the day before, being in Gainesville,
staying at a hotel, and being on a family trip.
Game Day tradition...head to Sonny's BBQ for dinner.
Yummmmmm. Megan was sharing a little love with Jeffrey
while we were waiting for our table.
There is nothing else quite like spending an afternoon with
90,000 of your closest friends in The Swamp.

We arrived home well after midnight. Tired, happy, and ready for our own beds. A cool front is moving in to Florida (cool for, Florida) . We could not have ordered better weather than we had this weekend (except for a little drizzling at the parade on Friday) No direct sun until the 4th quarter of the game on Saturday. Just a perfect weekend all the way around.

Go Gators!

Happy Anniversary

Milestone Memories
Twenty Three Years Ago Today...
Do You Know Where You Were???
Curt, Jeffrey, Jenni, and her friend, Laura were hanging out
in the parking lot at the Washington DC LDS Temple...
They were very busy.....
Happy 23rd Anniversary To
Mark and Monique
Twenty Three years ago today, I was at the Washington DC
LDS Temple at the wedding of my brother, Mark and his
wife, Monique.
August 9, 1985
This is the day Mark and Monique announced their engagement.
I remember it well. I was in Utah at my Aunt Carol's house when
the "We are getting married" phone call came. I think it was Easter
Sunday.
My Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Lawrence were just completing their
Missionary Service in Jessop, Georgia and stopped to
visit my parents in New Jersey before heading back to Utah.
In this photo:

I hope you celebrate in style...
Maybe, if you ask nicely, the waiters at
Fornos will sing to you!
Try not to laugh if they do!
