Gameday and Lee

September 4, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

It’s that time of year again, it’s college football season! I am currently (yes I know I am publishing this post Sunday but I wrote it Saturday night) watching my LSU tigers play Oregon. GEAUX TIGERS! When Bobby and I got to the gym today (more on that tomorrow) College Gameday was on, I was so excited! There is just something about it…even if you aren’t actually WATCHING a game…just having it running in the background screams fall to me. Anyone else with me? Some people just don’t get it…

I can always find a game on with SOMEONE I want to cheer for, and then, to make me even MORE ecstatic, I watch football ALL day Sunday, and then again Monday night. It takes up so much time but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am slightly obsessed. Maybe I should have been a boy? (I don’t do well with snakes and frogs and playing in the mud though, so on second thought…)

 

In other news, we are currently being pounded by tropical storm Lee. It’s not that windy (trust me I have been through a  LOT worse…hello Katrina!) But this storm is moving so slow, it has been dumping rain for two days, some places should get 20 inches! A couple hours ago, we flipped the channel to the local channel LSU was playing on, and just happened to see we were under a tornado warning, that there was a cell basically on the road outside our house. Awesome. We decided to head downstairs for a little while just to be safe…I hate hate tornado warnings…we live in the county so I don’t think we have sirens out here in the sticks.

This is what it has looked like outside for two days. dreary fun!

My mom sent me this picture of the marina in their neighborhood…yeah…that’s a marina…and that was a parking lot. This was around 3:00 Saturday, and it has been raining since so I am sure it is way worse now unfortunately.

Please keep everyone in coastal MS and LA in your prayers, we really don’t need any flooding around here! Church was already cancelled for tomorrow (Sunday morning) they want everyone to stay inside and off the roads! (But my parents are coming over. hhhmmm….)

had a good workout this morning, but will save that for tomorrow’s post. Have a great Sunday all, stay dry!

QOTD: Any scary tornado or hurricane stories?

    I love the new banner! I am totally with you about football and fall – everybody in Knoxville and even a few leaves were wearing orange for gameday! It’s my favorite time of the year!

    I so know what you mean about college football signaling fall. I turned on my tv yesterday and the opening credits brought a tear to my eye. I love college football. Geaux Tigers!!
    Try to stay dry as well. Hope there isn’t much flooding where you are.

    It’s college football time in our household too! However, we’re cheering for Michigan. Go Blue! It also rained buckets here on Saturday morning…can we blame Lee up here in Michigan too? 😉

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?
