SEC Game!

At 10:45 a.m., I had on my running clothes when I got a call from my friend, Hank Galbreath.  He said he was unable to go to the game.  He had two tickets waiting for him in Atlanta.  He asked if I could get to Atlanta an hour and half before kickoff to pick up the tickets.  I reminded him who he was talking to..... haha.  I pretended to be Superman and made a quick wardrobe change.  Oh, the tickets were from Lloyd Nix, the 1957 AU champion quarterback.

I called AJ in a panic and told him I was headed to the game.  I asked him to find me someone to sit with.  Amy Camp met me in the parking lot of the LaGrange Cracker Barrell.  Everything from there worked great - front row parking at Marta station, walked straight on to the Marta train, found AJ at the top of the Marta exit, found Lloyd Nix with the tickets, and walked right in.  Whew!  Couldn't believe it.  What a great day!

AJ met up with a bunch of his South Carolina friends. 

We saw sweet Libby Amos!   

I didn't feel comfortable about the win until the fourth quarter.

Auburn Beats Bama!

We were way too nervous to go to Tuscaloosa for the Auburn game.  I almost couldn't watch it on TV.  We watched the first half at our house.  Then, when that wasn't going so well, we drove to my parent's house during half time.  My mom was too shaky to drive to our house.  My dad was the smartest one of all.  He went to the movie theater and watched a film with David Housel.  We called them when the game was over and headed to Toomers!


AJ is so excited at Toomers.

So excited....

Auburn Football Season - Wow!

What an amazing Auburn Football Season!  It has been so much fun.  We had a great time at the Auburn/UGA game. 

Before the game, we met Steve Wallace at the tailgate. 
He is a three-time Super Bowl Champ.  Note the huge ring.

Last Braves Game (For Us) - October 3, 2010

Well... It was a fun run while it lasted.  We had a great time at the Braves game on Sunday, October 3.  We knew we had made the playoffs AND that we wouldn't get to attend the first set of games.  We had already committed to be in New York.  Who could have predicted that the Braves would be playing at home that following weekend?  AJ was also very excited to see the concert after the game - REO Speedwagon.

After the game, waiting for the concert to begin.
