Weekend Recap: Fall Back Edition

Admittedly, our weekend didn't get begin gloriously. Robert's had a very busy month at work and we had a bit of a late start hitting the road on Friday. Before we could leave, we had to unload some chairs that we had ordered from New Orleans and they hadn't arrived in the condition that we were expecting. We sort of forgot about finding care for Layla and decided that she'd have to survive in the wilderness for the night. Things could have been better. Looking back now, I have to say that the weekend made a 180 and turned out wonderfully.

We hit the road for Auburn, made a trip to the grocery store and arrived at Laurie's a little before ten. After a good night's sleep, we were up Saturday morning and ready to tailgate. This week's tailgate was an abbreviated version, but set up and take down were a snap. I told Laurie that I guess this was how "normal" people felt when they tailgated. It was nice.

The weather on Saturday was beautiful, if a little hot. I think we all managed to get a bit burned while sitting in the stands. Auburn actually played well and I'm thrilled that Daren Bates was homeboy of the week.

After the game, we went back to Laurie's house, packed up and enjoyed a few pieces of pizza and some dip. Around 4, we hit the road for the drive back to Mobile. We pulled into the driveway a little after seven, unloaded and Robert left to go watch the Bama/LSU game with some friends. Layla and I settled in with an hour or two of my new guilty pleasure, ID tv. At some point, Robert came home. He said that Layla didn't even wake up. So much for her serving as my guard dog.

Happy Homecoming!

Drive Home

The extra hour of sleep on Sunday was much appreciated. We were able to wake up and get a few things done around the house before heading to church to watch sweet Lillibet's baptism. After the baptism, we drove over to Fairhope to attend the Austin Lacey Blues Brunch. They had a great turnout for this awesome cause! After a QUICK (by my standards) trip to Publix, we drove back over the bay and had a quiet night at home. Such a hectic/fun-filled/quality weekend.

Now it's Tuesday and I'm already starting to get geared up for my final trip (this season) to Auburn on Friday. Happy Election Day! I hope your favorite candidates win and the amendments you support are passed*.
