Destination Auburn!!

This past weekend, I played dumb and pretended there wasn't a gas shortage across the US and ventured out on a Road Trip. Destination: Auburn!! (By way of Marietta and Birmingham)

I left Friday for Marietta and enjoyed a fabulous Mexican meal with Alli and the kiddos and Amanda, Benji and Emily Green. Sweet Miss Emily is so precious - it was great to visit with her and catch up with her momma and daddy.


Saturday morning, bright and early - off to The Loveliest Village on the Plains! We had a fabulous tailgate with Chris, Tipi, Wesley and Colt, Heath, Casey and Savannah, Maggie and Elizabeth - and my dear friend Jack (with a little DC)! The game was hot and not very well-played, but fun still - a win is a win. Chris - thanks for taking me to the game! Casey and Heath - thanks for letting me crash at Casa Stewart!

Sunday, I spent the day with my cousin, Stephanie, her husband Chad, and their baby girl, Izzy. Their new house is beautiful and that sweet baby is so stinkin' precious!! I love her beautiful red hair!!

That night, I had dinner with my favorite Birmingham friends - Steph and Chad, Chris, Maggie, Elizabeth, Sally, Lauren, Allison and Stewart - at one of my favorite Birmingham restaurants - La Paz! Sally - thanks for letting me stay with you!

To wrap up the trip, I got to spend some quality time at home with Mom and Dad. The Penuels came over for dinner and to model their Halloween costumes, which were handmade by their ultra-talented Mom by the way! (I'll post those pics later)

I made it back to Winston Tuesday afternoon, with a full tank of gas, and ready to get back to work. I'll be laying low the next couple of weeks - just working and trying to pick up some overtime to pay for all the gas bought this weekend!!
