Happy New Year!!!

Ok so we're a tad bit late with that. Much like the Titanic in Ghostbusters 2... Better late than never right???

The New Year has brought new hopes and dreams for everybody including Kara and I. Some we will share as we go others we will have to wait till certain things happen. We promise now that both of us have functioning computers we will keep you up to date more often than this past hiatus...

So down to business... What have Lin and Kara been doing???

Gordon Biersch: Each year I have a tradition with my friends from High School in

Atlanta that we get together for dinner. We start planning around December 1st and normally around the 20th we decide on a place. Gordon Biersch was this year’s winner. My Best Friend in Georgia Brent actually recommended it which to me was hilarious because at one time he swore that he would never drink beer, now he's suggesting breweries to enjoy... My Job is done. The food was good... The Beer was great! The company of course couldn't be beat! And they let me keep the Glass!!!

New Year’s Weekend: Seeing I'm moving out of my apartment... Ok Seeing I've been back and forth between my Mom's and Kara's apartment since she moved in, my official roommates decided that we should try to do one last party at our building. Funny thing... Nobody showed up and the sad thing was, I don't think Kara, Brent, or his girlfriend Michelle was upset. Our 3rd roommate did decide to go to another party with a friend. I did see her come in when I was on my way out to watch the Auburn game. Make your own conclusions but I think she had a good time.

That night we had dinner with my Mom and Sister at "The Real Chow Baby" which has become one of our favorite restaurants. It was a great way to start the New Year off right.

Saturday saw us going up to Cumming to Visit the Natic family and Kara's Mom. Only this time the Men went out and played some Football instead of watching it on TV. I think the group consensus is that we were all too old to be running around like the College Kids and don't get paid enough to be in the same condition as the Pros. Yours truly threw a couple of Touchdown Passes so I was happy. I don't expect to make the pros anytime soon, but I'm sure with my performance I could have started for a couple of teams this year.

While the football game was going on, Kara was out shopping with her Mom. I guess there are a few outlets not too far from there. Hmmm... Go Figure. Not to mention Titi Kara had to get her P. Diddy Fix...

Saturday Night we went to the NeSmith's to enjoy a game night. Both Nicki and Jeff made an awesome dinner. We broke out the games and Nicki and my competitive sides took over. Call it the good old fashion rivalry that stems from Nicki going to that red school that loves hounds tooth in Tuscaloosa and me being an alumni of Auburn University. As you can see below when it became time for the Boys vs. Girls in Taboo, my boo can get competitive with the best of them.

But we made up at the end.

No weekend in North Georgia is complete without stopping by The Raygors. Kara's Dad was back in town since the family is not moving anymore. He and I enjoyed the Steelers vs. Dolphins game. Much to Kara's shagrin. Unfortunately this was the game that we saw Pat White take a huge hit and was knocked out of the game. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, however Pat is a good friend of Kara's cousin Denae's Fiancee Mike. How good of a friend? Mike was one of the offensive lineman along the hut hut line that helped to protect Pat in college. Denae did tell us later that Pat was ok.

After a delicious dinner cooked by Paul (Kara's Dad), we made our way back towards the city. The holiday season was now truly complete.

The past week we have stayed low key. Both of us got back in to the full swing of things at work while I had to start packing up my things for my big move towards the end of the month with Mom.

We hope the New Year had treated you all well and that 2010 brings much joy and happiness to you and your family.

Take care and next time we'll tell you all about Weathergeddon 2010 in Atlanta and Medieval Times.

It's Time To Give Thanks

So it's been a little while since we've updated on our little corner of the world. I (Lin) apologize for making you wait. Kara and I have both been extremely busy in the past few weeks. I'll update you guys in a couple of posts starting with this one...

Thanksgiving With The Wormleys

A little back story. Before Halloween, Kara informed me that she never saw "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" You can imagine my fear when when Thanksgiving came around. Luckily she did inform me that she enjoys watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There is hope for that girl yet. The Cast of characters for this episode included my Roommates Brent & Leslie,

Mom & Dad Schnee, Heidi & her Fiancee Chris, Brent's Girlfriend Michelle, Cousins Mark & Ramona, and friends Marsha & Trinh.

So we have learned the value of communication from this Thanksgiving. It appears that somewhere along the line, having regular mashed potatoes is a staple in most homes, however mashed sweet potatoes don't count. Between everybody there, we had averaged 1 pie per person, No Mashed Potatoes, and enough alcohol flowing to say that the blending of families was a successful event.

The next day found us heading out in the morning to have Kara's Cat Scanned at Piedmont Hospital. Poor thing was suffering from Headaches for the past few weeks. (I'm the one for the past few months, huge difference between the two). Kara I think was worrying that it was going to take for ever, to our surprise we were in and out in 30 minutes. This was great cause it gave us time before the Auburn / Alabama Game. As you can see Kara and her love of football was ready for this one.


Unfortunately Auburn lost that game, but Kara got to experience it with the Clark family and Michael's new house. Kara and I have been talking about different places that we would like to get and Michael's house was definitely a model of something that we would like. I'm glad I finally got to see it.

A weekend of Friends and Family can not be completed without a stop in with the Natic's. Poor Kara was mad I think cause I vetoed getting a Christmas Tree up the Day after Thanksgiving as my Sister was not going to be around. Luckily Kara's Sister was nice enough to let Kara decorate the Tree, after ordering Neil and I to bring it down from the attic and be covered in insulation. Kara did a great job with the tree while sneaking in "Rubbing Da Belly". The night was also capped off with One of the biggest upsets in College football with UGA upsetting Tech.

Poor Kara has been a great sport with my Football "Addiction" this year. This weekend was definitely a testament to her. Lucky for her the Bears are probably going to miss the playoffs (doesn't mean I'm not going to sneak in time to watch games).

Even though we are a little late, we both hope that you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Kick off to this Holiday Season.
