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?!
