WARRR EAGLE....HEY!

Let me start off by saying, what a blessed Thanksgiving we had!!  We are so blessed with family that we had 4 family get togethers to go to.  Yes people, I said 4, F-O-U-R! We had a wonderful day, but it was long and Jack was like a zombie by the end of the day.  It truly is a gift from God to have so much family to spend time with...I know of people who didn't have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with. :(  That makes my heart sad and when I'm griping about how many places we have to go, the Lord whispers to me how grateful I should be.

We started off the day at Andy's parents' house, then went to the Brand family Thanksgiving, made a quick trip to the Bryson family meal, and ended up at my grandparents' for the Oliver Thanksgiving.  By the end of the day we were stuffed!  The only picture I managed to get of Jack was from Grandmother and Pop's and this pretty much summarizes how he spent the day.

Acting like a dog...imagine that. :) At least he's the leader of the pack.

What you don't see is Andy or me trailing behind him.  We spent the whole day chasing Jack...keeping him out of trouble.  That boy is into EVERYTHING!!! As I type that the Lord whispers to my heart..."Be thankful he's so healthy..."  and I am.  Thank you Lord for your blessings on me!

As the evening approached on Thanksgiving, I started getting really excited.  We were going to the AL v. AU game on Friday.  If you know us, then you know that I was raised an Auburn fan and Andy was raised Alabama.  For the first few years, when we had just started dating, we'd nearly break up over the game.  I chuckle as I type this because that's in good southern fashion. :)  Thankfully, these days we can be civil, almost friendly, to each other about the game.  We had to pay A LOT for our tickets, but our anniversary was the day after the game so it was kind of an early anniversary present.  Last year we went and we both left happy.  Auburn did great (even though it should've been a blow-out) and Alabama won!  This year, I don't think we both left with that feeling. :)

We went to the game with some great friends, both AL fans, and we really enjoyed spending time away together without little-bit. I almost had an emotional breakdown during the first half of the game.  Andy almost had one the second half.  I'm sure you know that Auburn won...and on that note I'm going to let out a big WARRR EAGLE, HEY! I try not to be an obnoxious fan, but I'm just so darn excited! :)

I made persuaded Andy to have his picture made with me after the game.  Notice his expression. :(

We should've known an Auburn victory was on the horizon (pun intended) because God painted the sky the most beautiful orange and blue.
