Long Weekend

Last weekend was SO needed! It involved a lot of football and family time. I headed home after work on Thursday. I made it in time to have dinner with my mom and sister. After dinner, we did a little bit of late night shopping at Target. (One of our favorite past times!) When we got home from dinner, we had a birthday party to celebrate Daisy's 2nd birthday! Complete with a cake and birthday hat that she didn't wear!

I slept in on Friday and then my mom and I did a little bit of errand running and shopping. Whit was looking for a specific shirt from Ann Taylor Loft so my mom and I went to 4 different Lofts and found the shirt! We also found quite a few other things along the way. Whitney and I went to the Tennessee/NC State game on Friday night. It was so much fun - we scored 2 touchdowns and a safety in the first quarter! I really hope that game was a hint at what the rest of the season is going to be like. Football season is so much more fun and enjoyable when your team is winning!

After a late night Friday night, Whit and I had to be up early because there was a noon kick-off in Athens we had to make.  It was a really hot day in Georgia! Because it was so hot out and Georgia was playing Buffalo, we planned on leaving at halftime. Well, the game was a little too close for comfort at halftime so we decided to stay. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, my body decided I had enough football for the day, and I passed out. Thankfully, I was sitting down and I was with Neal and Whitney. After drinking some water and cooling down in the first aid room, I was good to go and began the trek to find Neal and the car somewhere in downtown Athens. I just wanted to add a little excitement to the day!

On Sunday, we slept in and then ran a few errands before going back to Athens to have dinner for Neal's birthday. I cannot believe that he turned 35! We made it to Athens and did a little bit of shopping downtown and then had dinner at Shokitini. I really did not want to come back to Knoxville on Monday and considered not leaving until Tuesday morning. After realizing that I am on campus on Tuesdays until 8:30pm, I decided against having to leave Atlanta by 5am!

I had such a nice, relaxing weekend and saw 2 (well maybe 1 and a half) football wins! I'm headed home tomorrow for a baby shower and maybe a little bit of Georgia Tech football!

Happy Birthday, Dais!

Go Big Orange!

Saturday in Athens
