my happy place

This weekend I got to go to one my happy places. I consider a "happy place" to be a place that brings back memories and my makes my heart happy. Saturday I was lucky enough to go one of the best places in the US. STARKVILLE, MS! Home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs, who are presently 4-0 and ranked 21 in the nation. I love college football and fall. The weather was perfect. I love summer time but true fall weather is something that can't be beat. I rode with my good friends Emily & Brent. The happily married couple is also a house divided. Emily is a bulldog. Brent is a black bear rebel. He was a good sport and wore white to help the "white out" theme that STATE had going. As soon we got close I got giddy and couldn't wait to be in the Junction. The Junction is the spot where tailgate tents go up and grills get to grillin'. It's something everyone should experience. I saw some old friends and made some new ones.

I loved getting to visit one of my favorite places but I forgot how much it takes to keep up with such a fast pace environment, other than the SPED environment. I guess the drive ride down there and back it what wore me out. I went to sleep hearing the sounds of cowbells dancing in my head. I love that place. But I am glad that it's only a happy place and not an all the time place for me. Here are some pictures from our trip! 

Love this sign. It means we have arrived. 

Our seats. Thanks to the great Harlow's. 

My Marie, I love her! 

My new state tank. LOVE. Sorry for the silly face.

Me & Emily headed to the Junction. 

Finally, the Nissan got some personalization. 

Never say never...

Wedding update: In a very short post I announced the "official" wedding date. I have dress and a venue, we are slowly but surely boarding the wedding train!! All aboard!

College football is back and in full force. My bulldogs are 2-0! First time the Mississippi State Bulldogs have been 2-0 in a decade. You are probably thinking, that is just terrible. Most of the time we start having SEC play early in our schedule. For as long as I can remember Auburn is always our number two game. Well I am proud to say that we, the bulldogs beat the Auburn Tigers. It was a glorious day in college football! Did I mention that Adrian is an Auburn fan?? He was NOT happy! I was and I let him know it, hey it's college football!

Ok, so the reason for this post to be called "never say never." You know you've said it...I will never spend 30 dollars on a pair of running shorts. Well I did, and have like 6 pair of those shorts. Best shorts ever! I also said I would NEVER wear skinny jeans either.....I tried a few pair on and I LOVED them! I haven't bought a pair yet though. It's kind of silly to say "I will never....." Because you NEVER know what will happen. You will see the skinny jeans soon. Maybe in some engagement pictures? I will keep ya'll posted.

HAIL STATE!!!!
