Chuck Norris puts the laughter in Manslaughter.

This post has nothing to do with Chuck Norris other than to tell you that there is a website out there on the internet that when you go to it produces one random Chuck Norris "Fact" that can be rated. http://4q.cc/index.php?pid=fact&person=chuck Reloading the page gives you a new one. What's behind Chuck Norris' beard? Another fist.

Anyway moving on. I don't need to tell you how excited I get about seeing family. I love my Mom, Dad, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, step-uncles and cousins, no mater how many times they are removed. The great part is now my family has literally doubled in size. Which is pretty good considering I have 22 first cousins. Thanksgiving and Christmas are serious family togetherness times and I love it. The only problem is that families expect new married couples to continue attending family events like they did when they were dating. The only way everyone would be "happy", and by happy I mean some sort of bizarro happy where everyone just isn't crying, is if I dropped Laura off at her house in Birmingham and trucked it on up to Hartselle and we spent the holidays separated. I can't image what people do when their In-laws live more than an hour apart. The best part about the whole thing though is that since we are married it's a one for all, all for one kinda deal with the McFee's of Montgomery. I will be with my wife every minute of every holiday this year no matter where that takes us.

Two things also that I wanted to comment on quickly and without too much gloating.

• War Damn Eagle!! Thanks in part to Tommy "Tom Thumb" Tuberville. Second 10 win season in 3 years, 5 straight over the school up the road, and still undefeated in TTown.
• I have a new house and I love it!
• A new car is in my future - hopefully that future is today!

Finally happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I hope you all travel safely. My quote for today comes from a process control engineers office door.

Now that's a house of a different color.

Well I am a two week old home owner and life seems to be surprising me at every turn. I didn't realize how just painting something can make it feel more like yours. My wife tried to explain it to me pre-painting but I just took at as a really good excuse to buy paint. Everyday I feel more and more at home in this new world of debt and I have got to say the goods outway the bads. The bads being the mortgage, so really I guess its just the bad. I am excited to move forward in this life we have started with great friends and so far great neighbors. My work is going well I feel like I am getting more responsibility every day. If only my football team would quit sending out some terrible excuse for an alter-ego I would have the whole package. Seriously I feel like Auburn this year is Bruce Wayne. You know how he doesn't have the suit on he gets his butt kicked but when he gets in that suit he is damn near invincible. Well I will be honest. I have been putting quotes on the end of my posts since the beginning and this post really started because I heard a little "saying" today and I really wanted to post it, which I might just do in the future, so I wrote an entry. I almost fell out of my chair laughing but I don't know what kind of mood you will be in when you read it I had just heard a grey headed fifty year old man telling a story about a store in Florida that sold 3-D elephant thong if you catch my drift...
