Football Season/Birthday Catch-up

The season opener this year was versus Boise State (orange & blue, boo) in the GA dome. Many cocktails were needed to survive as the uniforms were not the worst part of the game as one may have expected. No recap necessary. But hey, Boise is ranked highly, right? May they win out.

We hung out with our favorite tailgaters.

Someone decided to wear the biggest sun-shade of a hat they could find to an indoor game.

We celebrated Aunt Karen's b-day in Carrollton with the family.

For my birthday and the Ole Miss game, we made the road trip to Oxford for some infamous tailgating at The Grove. Oxford had the cutest little downtown with so many cute dining and shopping places - loved it!

The Grove, which is acres upon acres of prime tailgating space, opens to set up Friday night before the game. This is before the madness begins.

Rows upon rows of canopies are set up and then massively decked out with tremendous decor and food spreads. From canopies with chandeliers to tailgaters in their finest wears definitely gave the best party award to Ole Miss.

And this surprise was waiting for me when we arrived home - love you Christen & Syd!!!
