Bama, Boxes & Blogging - a Recap of my Last Month

just wanted to give y'all an update since i've been out of touch for a bit. this is partly due to the fact that we have been moving...combined with the fact that both of us work full time plus i am a student of web design, plus i play on 2 soccer teams and still manage to perform spectacularly as the matriarch of my household, all while upholding my southern-woman responsibility of looking beautiful (ha) :D

it's a good (hectic) life.

matt and i just moved into a new place..we're still living in the midst of boxes and chaos, but we've got a functional bed, toilet and alabama-football-watchin'-spot, so we're good for now. we moved last friday and made it a priority that we'd be ready to watch the alabama game on good ole pay-per-view (damn texas) at 11:30 the next morning..even if it meant sitting 3 feet from the tv in the midst of a sea of boxes. this weekend, we'll be watching the Alabama v. Georgia game in the same sea of boxes, minus maybe one or two.

this weekend is also the Austin City Limits music festival, which sadly we will not be attending. apparently while we weren't paying attention, we got old and domesticated, or at least we will feel that way saturday when we go to our friend's 2-year-old son's birthday party followed by another friend's baby shower, instead of spending the day watching bands, drinking and acting like normal unmarried, childless people our age. or maybe it's the $200 per person price tag that kept us from going...we can go with that for now.

it's friday and i still have t-minus 59 minutes of work. but luckily, fridays at my office = happy hour, making the end of the week much more bearable :)

for those of y'all who don't know, we will be in the great state of Alabama in November to watch Alabama whoop Auburn in Tuscaloosa, my former home!! needless to say we are so excited and already counting the days. it will be thanksgiving, matt's 28th birthday and the momentous day when I finally get to watch alabama beat auburn.

Before the inevitable starts, NO, we will NOT be going to Huntsville on that trip! We are already driving to B-ham (12 hours) and we don't have that much time. if any of you huntsvillians wants to meet us 1/10th of the way, you are welcome to come to B-ham that Friday (after turkey day) and visit :) saturday we'll be gone to t-town to get started on the drinking fest that precedes all alabama games, regardless of the time they start.

ROLL TIDE!

And Shana will offer to watch all the kids so that I, too, may enjoy the morning rise and shine before the game. :D

AL / AU game... I'm inviting you all!

I'll have a big party at my house for all the AL/AU fans, and everyone can watch it on my HUGE Movie HD TV Screen and serve super special Patron Margaritas and homemade beer.

During the whole thing I'll have all the kids (Sydney, Ally, Ted, Bear, Carter, Emma, Harrison, Hayden, Will, Zoie, Maggie, and Hannah) over to scream at the tops of their lungs and run through the room the whole time screaming "TWELVE KIDS IN THE ROOM SCREAMING!!!!" Over and over.
