Chris thanked Paul Sr. for all the business and notoriety he's brought to ESAB as they shook hands. He said the only thing that surprised him is that his handshake was very weak. Naturally, my hubby would make note of something like that! I asked why he didn't climb on the chopper for a picture and he said he didn't realize he could have done that. Oh, I'm so bummed! What a great photo op that would have been!
This past weekend, Chris traveled to Charleston, SC. for his 25-year college reunion at The Citadel. He really had a good time seeing all of his "old" classmates, again. It's like a brotherhood of men. Well, he and a bunch of his classmates did the same physical fitness tests that are required of all incoming freshmen. They wanted to see if they still "have it". Well, Chris did very well, coming in 7th or 8th place. Not too bad, I must say! Here they all are together.
Once they finished, they ran through all of the barracks singing cadence. Chris said they had a blast! I can only imagine!
Now, on Saturday, they attended the homecoming game. It's customary for all the members of each reunited class to walk out on the football field wearing the same shirts and/or hats. Well, Chris' class decided to wear red shirts and...
BULLDOG HEAD HATS made out of foam! Yes...a bunch of grown men wore those things on their heads...my hubby included! Don't you know that was a sight to behold? Had I been there, I'm not so sure that I would have claimed him! :)
We're off to the cardiologist later today. Please continue to keep Chris close in your prayers as we find out what the next step is in determining if anything is wrong with his heart. Once I know something, I'll post an update. I can't thank you enough!

The guy from Orange Choppers looks smaller then I'd imagine... or your husband is REALLY buff himself :)
Grown men with foam bulldog heads... awesome... they never grow up, do they? :)

April, those hats are a riot, and I'm so glad Chris had fun. I laughed at your description of what all they did. LOL!
I hope and pray that your visit went well today. Please be sure to let us know how everything turned out, but I am believing for good news.
XO,

Aren't HOOAH men just the hottest??? LOL! Fabulous photos!!!
Good luck and tons of prayers for his appointment. But you know that God has already got this covered, right? Be at peace and wait for His will to be revealed!
What a fun read. Thanks for sharing it with us.
How very cool to Meet Paul Sr. And a great pic too! Isn't it funny how grown men can still act like boys?! LOL! Great pics April! :)
I love this! so much fun! Life is too short to be serious all the time!
Bryan and I watched a few episodes when they were in the early stages of making that bike. How cool he got to meet him!
