TAKES A LICKIN' AND KEEPS ON BLOGGIN' (Robert)

To save everyone's worries, I have not been smeared from the earth, never to write again. Instead, I've been very busy at work, with life, and trying to get this marriage thing under control.

So, what's happened since the last post?
Football has started, both NCAA and NFL. Both started off wonderfully with Michigan standing right now at 0-2 (woohoo) and Ole Miss actually winning one so far. Also, Auburn lost to the University of South Florida, which means the bowl season this year is going to be interesting.

Florida has rocked the worlds of two no-name teams, but will face some true competition this Saturday as they face-off with the Vols from Tennessee. In fact, watch the game on CBS and see if you can find Megan and me b/c we will be in the swamp cheering on the Gators!

The NFL started off with the Saints losing to my Colts, but the Saints should have a great year this year with Deuce and Reggie in the backfield and Drew firing strikes to the endzone. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Buffalo Bills' Kevin Everett who had a helmet-to-helmet collision causing him to have a possible spinal injury that could lead to his no longer being here.

It is September 11, 2007, which is the 6th anniversary of the attack in New York. I remember where I was when that happened. Do you? Hold a moment of silence to remember the families that don't have a complete family anymore. Thank God for the blessings you have, and remember that tomorrow is not promised to us.

Phillip is up in Booneville enjoying getting his tail worked out by running and catching bullpens. He is excited about playing in a couple of weeks with an extremely talented team. It's kind of weird not having him around, but I know he's growing up and is doing what God wants him to do - play some baseball!

Megan and I bought a puppy. Yesterday, she went to the vet and had a great check up. Our puppy's long name is "Mississippi's Magnolia Belle" but we call her Maggie Belle. She is a white bulldog (not a brown one like MSU, a white one like Georgia) and is a bundle of energy. At the vet's office, he told Meg that she will probably get to 30 or 35 pounds. Normally, bulldogs are around 60 or 70 - thus meaning that we will have a "miniature bulldog." Wow, how in the world does that happen. Anyway, here are some pictures of her. Have a great day, and I'll try to keep up with the Blog a little better!


This is normally all we see of her. She likes to go outside and then watch us from the door.


Puppy in a basket (yeah, this didn't last long)


She found a Nilla Wafer


Maggie Belle chasing Lindsay's Shih Tzu, Ella (well, more like pouncing on Ella)


Maggie Belle has no fear. She terrifies Ashlea's dog, Sadie (just wait)


. . . and then she chases her and tortures her.


She wants to be a cutie pie so bad.


Playing with Ella, until Ella took away all the toys.


So, Maggie Belle went and pouted in the corner (such a girl)


Meg put her in a pumpkin wheel barrow for a fall picture - obviously, not too happy about it.


Every night, this is how she falls asleep. She crawls up on my lap and lays down on my legs.


Lindsay gave her this collar - to help with her identity crisis (a bulldog with an Ole Miss collar)


Maggie Belle chewing on Meg's phone.


And then acting as if she didn't do a thing - "Hey, I didn't do it!"
