The Return of FOOTBALL!!!

I've said it before, I'll say it again, football is a religion in the South...just ask Mr. S!  It is his favorite time of the year & my second favorite (behind Christmas, of course)! :)  It is the signal that Fall is around the corner...the start of cooler weather, pumpkin spiced anything is at your fingertips & the holiday season is upon us.  A wonderful time of the year indeed!  

We kicked this football season off with a bang.  Our Alabama Crimson Tide played Virginia Tech in our backyard, and while we had originally decided to watch it from home, gameday came & we just couldn't stay away!  We loaded up (including Lily---yes, we are training her early---aka, we are insane!) & headed to the Dome to cheer on Nick Saban and team :)

We had a great time & great seats!  So thankful we were in the club level.  The random loud noises scared our little priss pot, so I spent a good bit of time lounging on the couches, instead of in my seat.  Sweet girl was very popular in her cheerleading outfit and her constant clapping drew lots of attention.  We even got to spend some time with Nene, Chef, Bryant & Bebe!

  While Lily will never remember this, Slade & I kept saying how glad we were that we decided to take her along.... it was a fun day:)  It didn't hurt that our boys left with a WIN either!

Week 2 of college football season came, and although Alabama had a bye week, that didn't stop us from getting our football fix.  We loaded up and headed west to see our other football team---the ULM Warhawks!  While Unc's days of quarterback playing are over, he is embarking on his coaching career and we had to go see him in action.

It was a HOT day in Monroe, but we survived & ULM won!  Loved getting to see my little brother do what he loves most.  It was also great to spend some time with Sugar, Nene, Chef, Bryant & Allie.  Since Cody is "paying his dues" at this stage of his career, we didn't get to spend a ton of time with him.  Thankful he was able to get some work done before we arrived, so we could enjoy some late night Cane's fried chicken and some good convo! :)  

Week 3 involved lot of house work for us, but we took time out from that torture fun to watch both our teams add to their winning records!  ULM pulled an upset on Wake Forest and Alabama showed Johnny "Cash" who was boss ;)  It made Lily super happy!

Well as you can see, we've enjoyed the start to another fun & hopefully winning season of college football!  

Roll Tide & Go Warhawks!
