Here is a recap of the past several days: We left Denham to fly from NOLA to Steamboat for Christmas, landed back in NOLA, drove home to Denham for the night, drove to Monroe on Fri morning, cemetery and Carlton presents on Friday, Ben and I flew out Saturday morning to Atlanta while kids stayed in Monroe, game day in Atlanta, flew back to Monroe on Sunday morning, Christmas with Dupuys on Sunday afternoon then drove back to Denham on Sunday evening. Wow, but you only live once right?

Peach Bowl for Ben's Birthday

I surprised Ben with a trip to the Peach Bowl for his birthday. It took a lot to get this to happen but so glad that it all worked out.
