Dad's H.S. Reunion

My dad had his 30 year high school reunion a couple months ago. I thought their picture was AWESOME! Check it out!

Don't they look great?

Love you Mom and Dad! :)

Game 8 & Sr. Night

Last week was our bi week, and it felt really weird not going to a ball game or posting about it! Friday we played Giles County for Senior night. It was FREEZING and MISERABLE outside. I didn't make it to the senior night festivities, because I waited until the last possible second to get to the game. I wanted to stay in my warm house out of the misty freezing rain as long as I could! I was able to get into the game just in time to get a picture of the sign.

It says, "We love our seniors!"

I really wasn't sure how our boys would do against Giles Co, because they are one of the hardest teams around here. However, they played them really well. The Panthers fought really hard in the first half and only let Giles Co. get a 6-0 lead. The second half our boys struggled and the game ended 22-0.

I was absolutely miserable during the game. My attire (3 pairs of socks, leggings under jeans, 3 shirts, big jacket with hood, scarf, gloves, and a blanket) did not do a good job of keeping my warm. I had prepared for the cold, but had not considered rain because the radar was clear before I left the house. Wet and cold DO NOT MIX! Here is a picture of me sitting at the game.

All I can say is I definitely have PANTHER PRIDE!

The first thing I did when I got home was take a hot bath and fix a pot of coffee! :)

Next week we play Fairview away. Keep watch for more Panther football posts! :)

Sleep Over at MY HOUSE!!!

Yes, you read the title right! I am CRAZY and had a sleep over for the high school volleyball team Saturday night. Barrett went out of town on a "guy trip", so it was just us girls!


We ate pizza, chips and cheese dip, cookies, and brownies! The night was filled with Twister, Guitar Hero, Taboo, "Booty Popping" dancing lessons, a movie, a lot of laughter, and of course not a lot of sleep! I really enjoyed having all the girls over, and am still paying the price from lack of sleep!

Thanks for a fun and memorable night Lady Panthers!

Oktoberfest

This past weekend was Oktoberfest in Hohenwald! I remember Oktoberfest last year, but didn't really have a chance to see what it was all about. Basically, it is a festival with arts, crafts, live bands, great food, and miles of yard sales. Last year I went yard saling, but this year I checked out the arts, crafts, and food! This is a picture I took walking up to the arts/crafts fair. You can see the little white tents in the distance!

The best thing about Oktoberfest is the food...in particular the apple fritters! They are AWESOME! The best way to describe them is, they are a dough nut type things filled with apple slivers fried. To finish them off, they are rolled in a ton of confectioners sugar and served warm! All I can say is absolute heaven...hence my face in the following picture!

Looks like I will have to wait until next year to enjoy another bag of apple fritters! :)

Bindi's Favorite Commercial

I don't know if many of you have seen the Toyota commercial with the couple in the car looking for their dog. They have the dog's squeak toys and are driving around, squeaking them trying to find their beloved pet.

The first time Bindi heard the commercial she went NUTS. She tried to look all around the television for the toy making the squeaky noise. I was able to capture Bindi's reaction to the commercial, thanks to DVR! It was sad and funny all at the same time!

New Do

Friday I got my hair cut the shortest I have EVER had it. I really
like the change, but I am still getting use to it! What do you think?!?
