During my Senior year of High School, I discovered Grady Roy Jones. Grady is an Aerospace professor at MTSU and his picture (see below) is quite hilarious. So, my friend Chris and I decided to use our ridiculous amount of free time in computer class to doctor images of Grady Roy Jones. In honor of the fact that I have Grady Roy Jones for class (finally!) next semester, I decided to show a little exhibition of the "Many Faces of Grady Roy Jones". The artwork is mostly Chris' doing and not my own... here is just a sampling of what he did:

Santa Claus came early to my house on 12/24. Sierra stayed the night with us and the next morning she awoke to a Dora the Explorer Playhouse, a Batman Drumset, the CandyLand DVD game, and a bulletin board.

My stuff! :) I got a grill, some plates, and some cups. They're sooooo cool!


A very funny picture of Sierra


I zoomed in on that last photo--she looks so angry

On December 14, Lydia and I celebrated our nine month anniversary and Christmas together. The evening consisted of getting Chinese takeout, opening our gifts, driving to Nashville to see the ICE exhibit near Opryland Hotel, and going to Opry Mills for some Christmas shopping... here are our photos:


Here are our Christmas Stockings

I made a quick trip to Memphis last weekend. The main purpose was to go to Sierra's Christmas Program. Here are some shots:

This kid cracked me up! He is singing a song but I think he has a future singing the blues
