December 7th was my birthday. Aaron made me dinner and a cake. Keep in mind she only had 2 hours to complete these tasks (oh, and clean the apartment too). Dinner was awesome and so was the cake. But the way the cake looked.....um...let's just say it looked more like the San Andreas Fault.

Who is Tom O'Brien?
Ok, Aaron might frown at me for writing this post, since our blog is so new, but I'm dumbfounded right now.
Having grown up in Baton Rouge, I'm a die-hard LSU fan. But I married a NC State girl, so I find myself caring about two schools now. For those of you back in Louisiana, you may not know that NC State recently fired its head football coach, Chuck Amato. One of the names in the mix was Jimbo Fisher, Offensive Coordinator for LSU. I was pushing for him big time here, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Instead, the often criticized athletic director, Lee Fowler, has made, what I think is, a poor choice.
It is reported that Boston College head coach, Tom O'Brien, will be the new coach of the NC State Wolfpack football team. I can only shake my head in disbelief. The thing is, this guy has no ties to the South and will find it very hard to recruit top notch players to the Raleigh-located school. With the amount of talent that comes out of the region, State will get the short end of the stick. Furthermore, over the past few years, the ACC has been, at best, mediocre in regards to football. I don't think any team can boast at a winning record, with exception to Wake Forest, in the ACC. Tom O'Brien might be 9-3 this season, but he very well could be 3-9 in any other conference. Botton line, it's a bad move to not consider a coordinator from another conference, because you feel you have to have a head coach.
My forecast: NC State will win no more than 6 games a season for the next 5 years. They will compete in small bowl games, if they even go at all. And they will never get where they need to be with Lee Fowler as AD.
But, in the long run, its just sports, and Christ is King. There's more to life than football.

Let it Begin
So here's our first post. We've been married for 4 days. Since every married couple we seem to know, at least those who live far away from their family and friends, have a blog, we wanted to do one too. We love our families and friends so much. We want them to be able see us as we grow in Christ.
