Garth Brooks

Back in December we got to see Garth Brooks in concert and it was AWESOME. We had lots of friends in town for it since he was playing 9 shows over 7 days to benefit Nashville flood relief. Hotel Gray was in full force and I loved it! Papers say the concerts brought in more than $4 million -- how awesome is that!

We had an absolute blast all weekend...

Melinda came in town!

Blake and Catherine

Brothers

At Puckett's eating dinner

Rishi and Mel

Our Thursday night Garth group - whoop whoop

So nice of Rishi to give Erin his other glove/koozie

Watching the band at the famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge

Of course I wanted to play with the band... little did they know my lack of musical talent

t-r-o-u-b-l-e

Goodness... and I had to work the next day!

Our group again - so so much fun

Gray boys

Rishi - too cool for school

Concert time!!!!!!!!

Such a fun show!

After the craziness of Thursday night we stayed in Friday night and cooked (well Ryan cooked) dinner, drank wine, and played Pictionary until the wee morning hours. Then I hit the sack to be up waaay too early for Junior League and later that day 5 more of my girls came in town- loved it!

Saturday night ready for dinner

Oh Dear

10 minutes ago I get two emails from my sweet husband. No subject line, no text, just a picture in each.

Exhibit A:

Part of our kitchen cabinets in our living room

Exhibit B:

Part of our kitchen where he tore them out

What do I even say???

Geez, now where are we going to put the microwave until we finish the rest?

Well if it's not obvious, our kitchen remodel Phase 2 is officially on its way!! Maybe hubs will include me on the next series of decisions!!

I Said It's Great to be an Auburn Tiger!

Ok, this is backtracking even further, but I wanted to share our trip to the plains for the second time in the season (November). But first, we took a detour to Lagrange, GA where my bestie currently resides! So of course I had to come down and check out her and Patrick's beautiful new house...

and celebrate their ENGAGEMENT!!!

(ps stay tuned for another exciting engagement - post coming soon)

That's right, my best friend is getting married! And I could not be more excited!!! This wedding season is going to be so fun!! August 2011 here come the Spinks!

Continuing my tour of Lagrange...

It was such a cute town

We had lunch at this little pub downtown

Then is was off to Auburn to watch our tigers play

But we made time for a quick photo op, of course!

Hubs and I met on campus waaay back in 2003

They're getting MARRIED! :)

Love walking on Auburn's campus

The famous Toomer's Corner - just waiting to be rolled after a big win

Cam and SB

Some of the girls at Momma G's

More of our table(s) -- so fun!

Then we were up bright and early to start gameday off right -- breakfast, mimosas, and celebrating Sarah Beth's birthday...
What could be more fitting than football donuts!?

Happy birthday to you!

And the cutest Tiger cupcake for the birthday girl!

me, SB, Laura, and Erin ready to tailgate

And here we are on campus for our very first (will be annual) Peanut Gallery tailgate!
Thanks Kristin for making this happen! It was the perfect set up!

This called for a toast!

All the peanuts!! Love love every one of these girls and it was such a blast to be back on campus all together again! I have the best group of friends :).
