A toasty fire

There is one thing in life that I really love - a nice warm crackling fire. We have a fireplace in the living room and there are days where a fire burns literally all day long. I love it. But in order to have fire, you need wood. And for us, we need lots of it.
David rented a wood splitter and we finally split the two giant oak trees that have been sitting in stumps and chunks in our backyard. Our neighbors had the trees removed a while ago and we were fortunate to get the wood from them.
So, the family spent the day splitting, carting and stacking. We have a ton of wood now which should last us through the rest of the winter season. I know I will be sore tomorrow!
One of my hopes for the future is to someday have a fireplace in the bedroom. Falling asleep next to a roaring fire - pure bliss if you ask me.

Basketball

Well it's been a busy day so far. First was Anna cheerleading at the Decatur Rec - "Hey Decatur Fans, let's hear you Stomp and Shake it, Stomp and Shake it! The girls are so cute ranging in age from 7-9.
Then it was over to the Ga. Tech Coliseum to see GT play Wake Forest. Apparently GT is not doing too well these days and Wake is #1. But, a basket at the last second gave the Jackets a win! It was pandemonium on the court. The kids enjoyed the game and all the festivities that go along with it.
Next we rushed back to the Rec for Boyd's basketball game. His Bulldogs are undefeated!
Later, friends are coming over for beer, pizza and a firepit. Good times.
So, this is what goes on when I don't have a wedding. Lots of time for family and friends.
