Alexis and Nissa: December 2008

It has been awhile, so I guess I have some catching up to do! My last post was from the Gator game, where we BEAT bama! The very next day we went to Indianapolis for the Colt's game, which Alexis won tickets to, from a Coors box. It was a lot of fun. Lucas Oil Stadium is brand new, and has a retractable top, which they kept closed due to the cold. I found out how different college games are from pro...It was really weird not having a band, and not having cheers that the whold crowd does together. It made the game a little bit more subdued than I am used to. The cool part of the pro game though, was the music that they played through their sound system. That got the crowd pumped, and they had a special sequence they would do when the Colt's scored a touchdown, and they would show a bunch of people on the big screen. I mostly just cheered for Keiwan Ratliff and Andre Caldwell, even though they were on opposing teams. Have to support the former Gators.

Heading to the game.

December went by pretty fast, we had some work parties to go for me, and Alexis started working -- he ended up turning down the part-time bank job, and is now working as a full-time assistant manager (in training) at Buckle in the mall.

Before we knew it, it was time to drive home to Florida! The night before we had to leave, Fort Wayne had an ice storm. When I woke up to go to work the next morning, my car was completely covered in a thick sheet of ice, you could barely even open the door. I thought it was giong to break off. The whole town looked so gorgeous though...I know an ice storm does damage (power goes out, trees fall over, etc.) but it is really beautiful to look at.
