Roll Tide

 This past weekend we met the Ausili's in AL to visit Faith and be together!  It was bliss!  It was a very long drive (11 hours each way) and even though Mike was a thorn in my side (he would rather have flown), it was so nice to be reunited.  Jenny found a cabin about 30 miles outside of Tuscaloosa.  She nailed it with her pick!  It was a rustic cabin with lots of privacy and a private lake.  Nick was in heaven.  He barely got off the water.
 At night we would sit out on this porch, light a fire and laugh.  It was just like old times.  Faith surprised us and didn't have to work.  All 8 of us were together for the entire weekend.
                                     A view of the dock.  We spent a lot of time out on this dock!!
 We arrived at our cabin at 2:30 a.m. Friday.  We went to bed for a few hours, then got up and visited Faith at her soritory.  The pictures below is of Faith greeting her "brothers."



 What a campus University of Alabama is!  I was wowed by it!  I can see why Faith loves going there.

 I love this picture for so many reasons.  Mike Ausili and Nick are buds!  It was nice to see them hanging out together doing what Nick loves best - fishing!







 This picture looks dumb but it's so funny!  Nick would throw the football at night with Ausili or Sieb.  This was Nick trying to catch the football as Ausili threw it him from behind!  Nick's stance is so serious!
 Love this picture of these four.  I am once again so aware that all things change.  Jay and Curt will turn 18 in 2020 and graduate.  Faith will be 20 in May.  It's not that I think there will ever come a time when we don't get together but eventually Faith will meet someone, the boys could move.  I guess what I'm getting it is I realize our days are numbered where all 8 of us are together.
Until next time!  What a fun weekend.  Lots of laughs, and memories.
