The Graduate


Matt B. gettin a degree!

The youngest of the Blair's has finally received his college degree! Matt Blair after transferring to UGA (because of his amazing older sister who found a loop hole while working at the admissions office-- no I must take my secret to the grave.... wait I've told like everyone.... wait.... um.... okay this isn't me I'm talking about, he has another older sister I swear!!) I digress- Matt graduated with two bachelor's degrees in consumer economics and housing this past weekend, and my grandmother, sister, soon to be brother-in-law, dad, mom, step-mom, step-dad, step-sister, second and third cousins, neighbors, and Chloe all celebrated his accomplishment with a little wake boarding, eating, skiing, and eating some more. Matt certainly deserves the whole crew's appreciation and admiration. I am so proud of Matt, and I know he is SO excited that he now has to be self-sufficient since momma D reminded him of his rent check which will be due in 30 days. The real world is awesome isn't it Matt!
It's no dirt off Matt's shoulders though because he has decided to engage the perks of family connections. Matt will join as a third generation mover working for a branch of my mom's company Graebel. Look out movers, Matt Blair has jumped on the scene. Can't wait to see where the Lord takes him!  Congrats Matt! I'm SO proud of you! Hope you love commuting and waking up before the sun. Don't worry, you'll learn that joys of going to bed before 10:00.

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
