My Auburn football experience

The date was November 10th, and Auburn hosted Georgia.  The score was a lot to a little.  Actually a lot to nothing.  But that's not why I'm frowning.  Today I experienced my last Auburn game as a student.

It's been a very fast four seasons.  I will attempt to summarize each one in a few words.

2009:  The year I had good seats.  As a very football-enthused freshman, I arrived at the games early and stayed until the end, despite a mediocre season.  Memorable games: West Virginia (the game it flooded), Kentucky (the game I almost froze to death), and Alabama (the game we blew).

2009 Iron Bowl

2010:  The year Auburn was good.  Winning is fun, and most of Auburn's games came down to the wire.  Memorable games: Arkansas (the shootout), LSU (when I realized Auburn was good), Alabama (the game I didn't watch), and Oregon (the game that won it all).

National Championship game

2011:  The post-NC slump.  Auburn started losing again, and I almost got thrown up on by crazy intoxicated college students one too many times.  I developed a new appreciation for the "non-student section."  Memorable games: none Alabama (Charles braved the Auburn student section AND we didn't kill each other - success?).

2011 Iron Bowl

2012:  The year Auburn was terrible.  Despite the record, I added road games to my repertoire.  I ventured to the Clemson game in Atlanta and the Vandy game in Nashville.  Memorable games: Clemson (just because it was indoors), LA-Monroe (because Auburn won), and Vandy (I got to sit with Alex and Kevin on the front row).

And now for a thorough documentation of pre-game (hey - I though I might as well get good use out of carrying my camera around all day!).

WAR EAGLE!

a magical place

1. beautiful afternoon on the Plains 2. Toomer's Corner after our second win of the season! {Poor trees} 3. probably our last time to roll Toomer's as Auburn students 4. flowers from the boy 5. morning walks and coffee stops 6. preview of save the date photos{by Open Eye Photography} 7. handmade pan pizza #yumm 8. Auburn is a magical place

We are never ever getting back together

Okay, so I know - I posted about how wonderful T-Swift's new album Red is.  And I stand by that assertion.

BUT...

Behold, the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" music video.

Honestly, this video is so "all over the place" that I don't even know what to think.  It's very "high school house party" meets "the 90s" meets "hipster glasses" meets "Grease" meets "Where the wild things are/ scary mascot costumes."

Oh, dear.

*sorry about all of the quotations

Getting organized

So. This was the chaos of wedding planning before I decided that I had to get organized. 

Then I bought this magical file folder from Target...

 And life still may be crazy, but at least there is now some sense of organization.

Also, we finally took our save the date photos so check back for a preview sometime soon!

Where did October go?

Wow.  I can't believe we only have one more day of October.  It's been a busy but fun month.  Here are a few highlights.

1.  Road Trips.  I spent the night in at least 5 different cities.

(Bonus points to whoever knows what the Tumblebus is.)

2.  The Overall Company.  Best popsicles in town.

3.  More football games/ watching Auburn dominate.  

{at home}

{and away}

4.  Hanging out with friends.

5.  Watching all 4 (vice)presidential debates.

6.  Voting.  (I already mailed in my ballot.)

7.  The new Taylor Swift CD.

A lot of people don't like her new CD.  And I get it - she's not really country anymore.  But I have a lot of respect for her - she still at least co-writes all of her songs, something most country stars DON'T do.  Not to mention, IT'S REALLY CATCHY.  And she has a song about being 22, which I really identify with.  (I don't actually identify with the content, just the age part.  We've grown up together!)

8.  Welcoming fall weather.  Here's to many more blankets, cups of coffee, fires, and fuzzy socks.

the month of football

Football season means road trips with friends and visits from family. Here's to thinking positively despite Auburn's record this year...
