Surprise!!

This past weekend my younger brother, Chip, took on a major undertaking and threw a surprise birthday party for his wife, Nicole. Somehow he managed to coordiate a band, decorate the house, organize a Lousiana-themed menu, and invite all of Nicole's friends and students from Auburn University and New Orleans. Although the night was a success, we all realized that any parties planned in the future will include the help of his wife, Nicole -- who incidentally specializes in party planning!!

Here are a few pictures I took with my brother, my dad, and Nicole. Tony stayed back home to play in his company golf tournament, and Mom (who helped with the food) had already taken all of our kids home to bed.

The New Georgia Aquarium?

Now that our company has officially been acquired, our office is getting a makeover. The color scheme is a little questionable. . . but hey, no one asked me my opinion, so I'll keep it to myself.

Some of our walls now have a lovely aqua color. It seemed to make the fish happy.

But since the fish didn't make everyone here happy, they sadly swam away.
