No. 1 Gators Take Down Tennessee, 23-13, to Open SEC Play

Gainesville Sun - Sept. 18, 2009

After months of rhetoric, reprimands and apologies, it's finally here on Saturday — top-ranked Florida vs. Lane Kiffin. Of course, it's more than that. Kiffin, the Tennessee coach, will have no carries or tackles in Saturday's game, but he will be the focus of a Gator Nation licking its chops for the opportunity to quiet the controversial coach.


Gainesville Sun - Sept. 19, 2009

After looking like he should have been sacked for about a 10-yard loss, Tebow broke free from multiple would-be tacklers in the middle of the field and began running toward the Florida bench. Once there, he was in danger of stepping out of bounds, but tiptoed down the sidelines, culminating the 4-yard run with a dive for the first down.
That set up a 7-yard touchdown run by flu-ridden Jeff Demps that gave the Gators a 23-6 lead with seven seconds left in the quarter.
Tebow's coaches, teammates and Volunteer coaches were in awe of the play.
"That was vintage Tebow," Meyer said. "He had a helluva day. You take away a couple of (errant) throws (and) he had a helluva day. He kind of took the game over on that drive and pounded on it."


Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin no doubt is happy he won't have to see UF's senior quarterback again.



GO GATORS!!!!

Quick visit to Destin

Earlier this year I posted about our Memorial Day weekend in Destin...I think the blog title was "Livin' like the locals"..just in case you missed it. If you couldn't tell from reading that i'll enlighten you now...we love Destin! Our friends Cole & Jess just got a new home so we decided to take a super quick trip to go see it and of course cruise Crab Island. I am never ever disappointed with our trips out there. We got there around 6:00 Friday evening and went to Mitchell's for dinner! So gooooood! Brad & I both had the shrimp and lobster pasta..mm mmm mm...delish! After dinner we met up with the rest of our crew and went down to the beach...I love the beach at night...however I don't think people on the beach at night necessarily loved us. A bunch of hyper girls who haven't seen each other in at least 3 months...we were being slightly obnoxious, but we had a blast. Saturday was boat day, but it rained. BOO! So we went and had breakfast at Another Broken Egg...Katie Deese - if I haven't told you that I love you for introducing to this place let me just tell you now....I LOVE YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS PLACE!!! Oh my sweet heavens- It's really a blessing that we don't have one of these in Live Oak... I would weigh 300 lbs. It's so good....after breakfast...naps - after naps a lot more obnoxious laughing...then dinner. (Has anyone noticed that the theme of my vacation is food? Always) ok just checking. We ate at Baby J's. All the guys love Baby J's. It's a bar & grill that was built on a two story houseboat...So it's huge, it's open, you can smell the salty sea air, and it sits right on the water obviously...where else is a houseboat gonna sit?? They always have live bands...our personal fave is a guy named Catfish and he plays the saw....yes a saw!...yes the kind of saw you saw things with!...entertaining to say the least ;) After we left Baby J's we went to Aqua which wasn't much to talk about except that they had music we could dance to, and boy did we dance?. Beka and I LOVE to dance...Sunday morning we woke up and the weather was gorgeous! We went and rented a pontoon boat & headed to Crab Island where we spent ALL day. To me...nothing beats hot sun, a boat, and a body of water! Life was good that day :) Can't wait to go back.

B-E-A-utiful Crab Island :)

FYI - Kodak Gallery is stupid and on my nerves right now....I'm doing a great job actually taking pictures (see new year's resolution blog). The problem now is getting them transferred from computer to computer to here...grrrrr....I'll post the pics as I get the kinks worked out, and you guys will just have to forgive me for the delay.

Summer

I know I haven't blogged in FOREVER!! I was horrible at that over the summer. Basically we've been really busy, and haven't wasted a bit of daylight. We've either been at the river, the lake, out of town, working, or hanging out with our besties. I've decided to do something a little different just to catch you up on things....I'll post pictures with descriptions to take you through our summer...Let's get started....

Lake Louise - I wish I was there now!

I think that's the quick version of our summer. I didn't include pictures of work. I know you are all so upset ;) ...also Beka NEVER gets her pictures off of her camera so my Birthday Luau pictures will come later as well as Bekas birthday pictures at Dragonfly. I don't think i've even seen any pictures of Dad's or Mom's birthdays, but if they exist i'll post them too! I'm sure i'll remember random things along the way so i'll surprise you here and there :)
