my BFF Carrie who even though we don't talk to each other all the time is one of a few people I know would do anything for me

my sissur of course just cause she's my sissur...

my soon to be sis-in-law who hooked me up with the greatest guy ever and became a best friend...

and of course the greatest guy ever...I don't know how I got so lucky?

And there are many more but the list would be way to long!!!

AL vs Miss St

We knocked one more off of Erik's list and went to Miss St for the game. Its a very pretty campus but we walked at least 3 miles from where we parked. They need to fix that. It was a great game...especially since we won!!! I HATE cowbells though! I had to make earplugs with napkins cause it was so loud!

Engagement Pics

I know its kinda early but I wanted our pics done while it was warm and so I can send out save the dates. A girl I went to high school with did them and she did such great work! She had great ideas and great prices! And through all the editing and buying pics I swear she has made me feel like I am her only customer even though I know she's super busy!

Nashville

Erik has a dream. It's a simple dream but its to visit all (well you know the big ones) of the college football stadiums. He's done most of the SEC but there's still a couple to knock off. This weekend we went to Nashville to visit Carrie and went to a Vandy game. We left Saturday around lunch. Good trip until right over the TN border and then we stopped. The next thing we knew a jester was running down the interstate... We talked to a truck driver who said they were blasting down the road and it was closed till 5, it was like 2. Then I called Carrie and she googled it and apparently there was a wreck and thats what the hold up was. A few min later we had moved a few feet and all of a sudden Erik is leaning over me pulling the window open. One of his truck drivers was right beside us! How weird is that??? On to Nashville we go and get to Carrie's house. We didn't want Carrie to feel left out so Erik got her a little something... Its a ring! And its bigger than mine :( And then I remembered an important little piece of information... Carrie has a cat...Erik is highly allergic...ooooops! We told him not to touch anything until we went to the game and then we'd figure something out. So we went on to the game. Here are a few pics... During halftime some guys were dressed up as pac-man characters and they played a lifesize version in the stands! Erik in his Vandy shirt...but look he hasn't forgotten his true colors...he's got his Bama stuff underneath!
We sat behind this really drunk girl who was a wannabe cheerleader. I told Carrie I think she was dressed as Blossom (remember that show?) but we think she was for real...so sad :(

After the game we took Erik down to Broadway St just for a look. And we found Waldo! Then we went to eat at an american asian fusion restaurant. I tried to eat something new and this is what I ended up with... I have no words to describe what it tasted like. Kinda like a coconut cream puff with bbq in the middle maybe?. I don't know it was pretty interesting...and I didn't finish it. So its time to go to bed and we go back to Carrie's. We figure since the air mattress we were gonna sleep on was new and the sheets were freshly washed there would be no cat hair on it so we blew it up and laid down. Erik started sniffling a little. He said it was the cold. He sniffled some more...he said he was ok. It kept getting worse and worse and then I heard wheezing. By now its about 1:00 am (well midnight since the time change) we decide to go to a hotel. We FINALLY find a hotel room and crash for the night. This morning we went back to get Carrie and went to the famous pancake pantry. After that Carrie had to do homework and we came back home with no more events!
