Thursday, Oct 8th was a very exciting day for our friends Amy and Robert... they had their baby!!! Before she went into labor, Ryan and I had plans to watch that Sunday's Titan's game with them, and when I got the text she was in the hospital Thursday I just assumed we'd take a rain check. Well these two crazy new parents wanted to still have us over even though they had only gotten home from the hospital the day before. We even had to insist on bringing them dinner! Too funny. Ryan and I were just thrilled to still be able to come and see that precious baby!

And oh that baby. I have never seen a baby so young... only 3 days old. It was the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. She was peacefully asleep almost the entire time we were there. She looks like a little doll. I even got to feed her! And her room, oh her room! It's the cutest shabby chic baby room I've ever seen... complete with a chandelier and all! I just love that the crib is in the center for the room. That baby is just precious and she will have the best parents ever! I cannot wait see little Clara Grace grow up!

Beautiful Mommy and baby... just home from the hospital the day before!

Baby Daddy :)
Look at this precious little baby

Ut-oh ;)

Soooo cute

Fit for a princess!

We are so happy for you guys!!

Clay and Susanna's Wedding Weekend

Oct. 10- Clay and Susanna's wedding was at the neatest venue. It was at Double Head Resort in Town Creek, AL. We all stayed in cabins that lined the lake and all the festivities were at a pretty, rustic lodge. It really fit them perfectly since Clay is an avid hunter and they just wanted everything to be casual and loads of fun. And that it was!


Ryan and I stayed in a three bedroom cabin with Blake, Mrs. Debbie and Joe and had so much fun! We even got to bring Sadie and she was so good. She just loved everyone… and everyone just loved her right back! Even Ryan’s mom, who let’s just say isn’t exactly a dog lover, enjoyed having Sadie around too!


We arrived Friday night and chatted for a bit before we got ready for the fish fry dinner. It was delicious and so fun to catch up with family. It was so cute to see Clay and Susanna so happy and excited for their big day! Of course the after party consisted of lots of beer pong and corn hole. A late night was had by all!


Saturday was very relaxing. Everyone just visited, hung out in the cabins, and watched football of course! Auburn had a disappointing lose :(! Then, it was wedding time! And although the forecast was predicting otherwise, the rain held off! Yay! The ceremony was so sweet and I’m so excited for the Hall’s! The reception was a blast! The band was great and kept everyone entertained and dancing the whole night.


The next morning the majority was dragging, but we all met for lunch at the lodge. What a fun wedding! Can’t wait to do it all over again for Meg :)… good think we have a few years to prepare ourselves!

26-22

Last weekend Ryan and I ventured to Knoxville, TN for two reasons. #1 Meg and Aaron's engagement fiesta, and #2 the Auburn vs. UT game! We had such a blast! The Mexican themed party Friday night was perfect! It was set up so cute and colorful and the food was delicious! Afterwards we all went out to Roosters to meet up with more Auburn friends! It's kind of crazy how our circle of friends here in Nashville tie in with Auburn friends. I love it! My favorite part was seeing Kristin and Timmy!

Saturday- It's tailgate time in Tennessee! We tailgated for a entire 8 hours that afternoon getting ready for the Auburn-UT game! Ryan's mom, Debbie, and Joe were in town too! Well they're always in town because they have season tickets, but it was such a treat to be with them for this game! Although I was a little disappointed in Mrs. Debbie's outfit choice since the only blue she had on was her jeans and for the record... that just doesn't count! Moving on... :) It was the perfect fall day! We tailgated on the top corner of the 11th Street Garage (UT fans tailgate in parking garages which I have to say was a first for me). We had gorgeous views of downtown Knoxville, tons of food and beer, and had such a blast with all our friends!

As for the game, WE WON!!! I was so proud of our Tigers out there playing their first away game of the season in the enormous Neyland Stadium at 7:45 PM! There was over 102,000 people in attendance that night! Ryan and I had seats in the 5th row of the upper deck, but joined Candice and Landon on the 30 yd line, 9th row right behind the Auburn Tigers for the last half of the game! Those seats rocked!

Can't wait to do it all again on Oct. 31, but this time in Auburn's Jordan Hare Stadium!!

And now a little blast from the past! This photo was the first time Ryan and I went to watch AU kick some UT booty in Neyland Stadium... back in 2004 :)

Think we've changed a little?!
