A Day at Duke

To celebrate our new life as Dookies I took the girls to the Duke Gardens. Here are some photos. Enjoy!


This photo was taken by a professional:

This photo was taken by me of the same bridge. Do you see my girls on the bridge? Hint: look for the pink cowgirl boots.

A Different Shade of Blue


Today Scott (we can officially call him "Dr." now) signed on the dotted line at Duke University. Scott is so excited to have his first job that we went to Wal-Mart to buy our family some Duke shirts. Unfortunately, the Duke shirts were hanging next to the Carolina shirts, and Scott just couldn't bring himself to make the switch just yet. (Remember who is in the final four, after all!) It will take some time before Scott can surrender his Carolina blue for the "Dook" shade. If you are unclear about how seriously people out here take the Duke/North Carolina basketball rivalry, take a look at this.

We are excited and so thrilled. Sophie and Syrena were very disappointed, however, because they were looking forward to making Michigan snowmen, but we'll have to save that for Utah and Idaho. To them all of this hupla has been a little anti-climactic. ("What? We aren't moving? Anywhere? awhhhh...")

It was a very hard decision. Thanks for voting on our poll. We decided to go with the majority after all. See, I told you your vote mattered. :)

For those of you who would like to come and visit us here are some Carolina attractions:

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Blue Ridge Mountains
Hurricanes (Fran, 1996)

Choices, choices...

I know I promised you the NEWS today, but--sorry!--you'll have to wait another day or two. We just learned this afternoon the last details about the offers, and now we need a little more time think things over.

All in the name of suspense....
