We got lots to talk about

Ok, so I'm back from a little hiatus. My bad! When I got to Denver, I was able to write a blog post because we were snowed in, but after that... no computer or phone for several days. It was kind of nice, even though most of the time, I was gambling in a casino :)

I have SSSSSOOOOO much to write about that I think I'll have blog posts for days. Some subjects that I will discuss and things you can look forward to -

1. Colorado University - Jane had to work one morning, so James & I walked around the University on a snowy morning and took lots of pics. It's a BEAUTIFUL campus

me with Ralphie the buffalo

2. Rock'n'Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon review - if you haven't read a million reviews already, I'm going to do one and this one will be a lot different than what others had to say. All I can say is people are crazy. 

3. Las Vegas, the Matts Style - 

I have better pics than this but they're on my camera & this was on my phone

 Depending on how detailed I get with details, I may dedicate a post to the different games we played as well as the different casinos we visited. It was SO MUCH FUN. Remember how I said I wasn't sure what I was going to do since I didn't drink or gamble? Well, I still didn't drink because I don't, but I gambled my face off. We did not leave the strip except to go to the old strip. 

4. My total RnR half marathon meltdown. 

Well, I didn't have a meltdown at all, but the time for my half was so bad that I don't even want to post it. I mean, it was bad. In my defense, I have bought and sold a house in the last month, gone to Richmond for a wedding and spent 4 days in CO before racing, even still... it's bad. 

So, as you can see, there is a lot to talk about and once I get my pics up and all of that, I can begin. In the meantime, in case you didn't know, the Clemson Tigers won the ACC Championship for the first time since 1991. Some people are saying rude things about it like that it's about time since we haven't won in 20 years or that the ACC is a weak conference so we shouldn't be proud of it. And what I have to say is this. Kiss it because I'm excited about it. Maybe we don't win every year or maybe our conference isn't the toughest (in football because that's about the only sport we're not one of the best) but that doesn't take away from the fact that the Clemson Tigers are 2011 ACC Champs and we get to go to a BCS bowl and our school gets a LOT of money which will only help our football program. So all I have to say is....
