Happy Birthday Paul!!

Out of sight but not out of mind.....update 1

After moving from our first home in Augusta, we are now in our 4th week of 16 weeks living apart. However, we find ourselves blessed beyond measure. I (paul) am in Athens absolutely loving my internship with the UGA football team. I am blessed to be living with a friend and his gracious family who have taken me in as their own. I work 14 hours a day but enjoy getting to know the players, and have some of the best sports medicine staff to work with and learn from in the country.

Natalie is in Knoxville recovering from an intense eye surgery a couple weeks ago. Her recovery is coming slower than we had hoped and the doctors are slightly concerned about the progression of one eye. She is also studying non stop for her certification test for occupational therapy. And again God has blessed us with providing her a great job in Smyrna, Ga where she will begin in October. She will be living with my brother Joe and Hannah and their new baby girl Grace (see picture below).


Yes, I am now wearing red and black all the time and I had to get the classic picture with UGA.



My first game with UGA was one to remember despite the loss. Since Joe Cox, UGA's QB, was a little under the weather a couple days before the OK state game, he traveled later friday night seperate from the team. One other trainer and I were given the opportunity to fly with Joe on UGA's 6 seater private plane friday night. Needless to say it was a fun experience and a great way to travel to the game but unfortunatly we lost. I've included a few pictures from the plane and a picture of the beautiful stadium just outside our locker room at OSU.
