The Journey Of Roy
After months of living with the White's, Roy has finally made his way home to the Alexander household. Just a little background, Chad left his Dallas Cowboys Roy Williams jersey at my house last April. The jersey somehow ended up under the cushions of my couch where I found it in mid July. Since then, he has traveled pretty much everywhere Kate and I have gone.
I decided to surprise Chad with a movie version of all the pictures we've taken of Roy in our various travel locations. I then recorded the movie onto a DVD for Chad and screened the movie at his house last weekend. Chad had no idea I had the jersey and was quite shocked. I have some reaction video I taped that I'll try and get up in a few days.
It was a fun traveling with Roy, he became Kate and my little mesh friend!
Anyways, here is the video, enjoy!(By the way, youtube has horrible video coverage, the video is much clearer than this).

Thanksgiving Trip to West Virginia
Kate and I traveled to Charleston, West Virginia (yes, there is another Charleston) for Thanksgiving with her family. The trip started off a bit rough when we immediately hit traffic outside of Lake Norman...I guess people decided to check out all the boaters (it was 40 outside). I can never figure out why there is always traffic in this location, in the summer I'd understand but not late November.
After that I assumed we'd have smooth sailing, remember what they say, "Assuming makes an ass of out u," and we hit traffic shortly after we entered Virginia (the state I loath the most). Kate documented a few pictures of the highway and some reaction shots of myself. I won't transcribe the language used during the 45 mins to 1 hour we waited. Thankfully I had food and Guns n' Roses to keep me calm. I should point out this is the exact spot we sat in traffic two years earlier on our way to Charleston...I'm not sure but there must be some sort of Car Ghost that attacks people here and causes accidents or merging problems...
We arrived in Charleston and were greeted with some more traffic...this we got through quickly, only to have me get us lost the last 2.5 miles of the trip. According to Google Maps there is a mysterious road that no longer exists, had that road been there we would have arrived without any mistakes. After getting directions we arrived at Kate's Uncle's home!
The rest of the days there we spent eating entirely to much food, watching horrible football games, playing cornhole, beer pong (Meg & I are the Undefeated Champs!) and some shopping. The shopping for myself, Meg and Martin consisted of 4 stores and 2 purchases...we were home in an hour. I think Kate and the rest of the ladies are still at Marshall's...
The ride home was ok, until we hit Mooresville, NC where we encountered yet another accident. At that point I was done with holiday traffic, I feel bad for those who waited until Sunday to drive/fly home! As always, here are some pictures!
Me describing how I feel about traffic and the state of Virginia!
Barely moving!
Martin and Meg preparing the turkey
Dave and Erin playing cornhole!
Tyler and I showing everyone how its done...

Alyssa & Tony's Wedding
A little late blogging about this but Kate and I had a great time in beautiful Greensboro, NC on 11/1 for Alyssa & Tony's wedding. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a lot of fun...maybe a little to much fun (look at the pictures). The Proximity Hotel is great hotel and highly recommended.
Here are some photos (that I stole from everyone)!

Old School Picture of the Week (Part 7)
Ok, this is a photo I took in Paris in 2001...I need to fire up the scanner and get some new "old" photos up (I'm running low!!). Anyways, I had a blast while I was overseas, got to see a lot of Paris, various other locations in France, Germany and Beligium. I wish I had snapped some more photos while there...
Enjoy
