Southern Traditions

So I've officially moved back to Dallas.  Training finished and I came home to work from here.  The Sunday before I left though, I heard something loud behind the house.  There's a farm back there that's open to the public and when looking, we discovered a civil war reenactment going on.  I had never seen one before and it was kind of cool.  Nerdy, but cool. 

It was pretty crazy how much the gound shook when they fired those cannons. Here's some more pictures:

 

The aftermath

Then on my way home I stopped in Memphis for the Rhodes College Homecoming.  I got to see my old roommates and a bunch of friends.  We relived the old glory days at Central BBQ, Memphis Pizza Cafe, and Celtic Crossing. Pinky and I even snagged some classy strawberry Andre from Tip Top to take to the game.  We all tried to take a shot beforehand but failed miserably.  Just aint what we used to be huh?

It also felt really weird being there and not going to school anymore.  It's weird to think about how life moves on after you even though it happens all the time.  High school, college, job changes, moving to different places, etc.  I sometimes forget that it happens with everything, even when going home to my own home.  It's especially weird when you discover that you're now officially the shortest person in the family (like I did when my 14 year old brother inched ahead).

:(

Here are some pictures from Homecoming.

I think that's all for now because the RANGERS game is on.  WOOT!
