Hi All,We've been home for almost a week and I'm finally getting to updating now. We had a great time in Columbus with Moriah & Eric. Although I am not a football fan, I loved going to the Ohio State game. Moriah was patient enough to explain the game to me! Thanks!!! The game was fun!!! Ohio State beat Akron. Ohio State also has a big Marching Band that plays for all home games. It is a big honor to make the band as it is very competitive. The individuals try out for every game. I do not remember if Georgia had a band, maybe Bridgette or Justin can elaborate. I loved going to the game in Georgia, as well!!! I just love the spirit and the atmosphere. It sort of brings me back to college. I loved going to school! Great times and great friends :)
We arrived on Friday around 11:15. We flew on Jet Blue and we both loved it. They were so accommodating and they serve Dunkin Donuts coffee (what do you think Aunt Mo?) The seats are super comfy and you get your own TV. We didn't bring Rosie b/c Moriah & Eric have a cat and since Rosie isn't good with cats, we decided to let her have her own mini vacation away from her parents. Kyle's sister watched her and said she was great :)After Moriah picked us up we went to a yummy Mexican place for lunch ( I forget the name) and then headed back to their condo. A few of Moriah's friends joined us for " game night" and delicious pizza. We played Nintendo's Wii for the first time and loved it. I tried bowling and loved it. I felt like I was really bowling. Eric said that Wii was created to be inclusive for all people and apparently is a big hit at nursing homes. It was funny b/c I was reading New Mobility (my favorite Disability Magazine) and there is an article on Wii and how it is an all inclusive game.
OK, so on Saturday we got an early start and headed to the tailgating party. Kyle got to try some of the famous sausages and he really enjoyed them. I , on the other hand, went crazy over the "to die for" cream puffs. The game was a blast and our hosts gave us a great tour of the campus! It is a pretty campus! That night for dinner we went to "27" which is owned by Eddie George. http://www.southcampusgateway.com/directory/detail.php?location=42. It was a yummy and cool place. Next time I am DEFINITELY ordering the Mac & Cheese!
We had a yummy homemade breakfast on Sunday morning before heading to the airport. It was a great weekend that went by too fast.
This week has been busy! I just applied for my "dream job" as a "Program Specialist" at the Disability Student Center at a local College. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it really does seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

Sounds like a great time...yes, I have also flown Jet Blue, and it is my first choice for airlines! They were very helpful with my scooter - and I loved the DD coffee and the individual tvs!
Ohio State was just here this past weekend and beat University of Washington. There were TONS of Ohio State red fans everywhere around Seattle!
Glad you had fun! We went to a Tony Bennett concert this weekend - one of my favs - so I was in heaven!
Love

Sounds like a great mini-vacation! Yes, UGA has a great band also and they are very competitive. My friend's son is in the band and he is so proud!
Best of luck for that job! Sounds awesome!

Good luck getting the job - it sounds totally ideal for you.
