Fun on the Plains

We enjoyed our trip to Auburn this past weekend. It was hot, and a very close call on the game, but all in all a great day! Michael and Betsy hosted a wonderful tailgate, and we had 50 yard line tickets, hard to beat!

Amos sporting his Auburn gear, he LOVED the tailgate! He got alot of attention, ate everyone's leftovers (and any plates that were left near the ground), and basically was spoiled rotten.

Thanks to Abbie and Logan for the awesome tickets! I wish ya'll could have been there with us!

War Eagle Bound

This weekend we are headed to Auburn for the AU vs Clemson game. I am very excited, as a trip back always invokes the best memories. Here are a few I could find quickly:

With Mols at the Sigma Chi house tailgating

tailgating with Ashley

Auburn/Al tigerwalk, gotta love the Bama fan in front, classy

with James shortly after we were engaged

Selma Alpha Gams at bid day (Laura, Sam, me, Abbie)

Graduation with CARM

Dove Hunt

This past weekend we headed to Seabed (family farm in Marion Jct) for the annual dove hunt. I love dove hunting, mainly for the social aspects of it. You get to eat several delicious southern meals, hang out with friends, watch football, enjoy being outside, shoot things (or in my case shoot at things), and both you and your spouse are content. My birthday usually falls around opening day every year, so the big joke is that the dove hunt is my birthday party. I am actually quite ok with that.

We surprised James with a early birthday present, a Beretta 12 gauge.

Can you say HAPPY?!

This cracks me up, Sam and Sawyer were such buds

enjoying some birthday cheescake with sis

this also cracks me up bc Penny is wearing an old ADP formal shirt of Nick's and I am giving her a hard time, ADPi really? (long story short-we were both AGDs and ADPis were one of our big rivals, especially in flag football, my intramural passion, and you would think that at the age of 27 I would be over it, but you would be wrong) I might have a competitive spirit that needs some praying over!

much better!

All in all great weekend, great birthday. I am a very blessed lady! (Thanks to mom and dad that put it all together!)

The rest of T&C

As you can see, it was wonderful!

Sailing

Today we enjoyed a beautiful sail trip around the island. To say it was gorgeous and relaxing,  is really an understatement.  Captain David and first mate JR were great guides. We had the whole boat to ourselves!

It is 20 minutes until Auburn kicks off, and Michael has found a way to stream it through the computer to the television. War Eagle from Turks and Caicos!

Ahhhh...

We are here, and it is beautiful! No hurricanes in sight! The flights were very smooth, with some excitement of NBA players flying with us. Ever heard of Ray Allen and Drew Gooden? Well, apparently they are important basketball players, and James and Michael were very excited.
