A preview of things to come...

Max and I just got back from the beach with my family celebrating my sisters 30th birthday! Happy birthday sis! I am going to do a big post this weekend when I have a moment to capture the whole weekend. But for now, i am leaving you with a post of my precious niece who is the light of my life! (Isn't her outfit just precious!) More to come this weekend...have a great one!

"Jerry World"

For those of you who are not from Dallas, "Jerry World" is the nickname of the new Cowboys Stadium (or stadjium as Jerry Jones would say). Max went with his company and sat on a field-level suite. He is going to share a few thoughts with you about this, and I am going to dictate...

A great picture of the field from his seat. Isn't he just adorable?

Per Max: This is the field-level bar view. It is like a dug-out at a baseball game, except they serve beer.

Per Max: This is Jerry "Facelift" Jones. As you can see the close-up broke the focus of my iPhone. This is where all the players run through from the locker room to the "stadjium."

Per Max: "Cowboys" as Jerry likes to say it with his Arkansas accent.

Per Max: Field-level suite view.

There you have it. I have to say that I watched this stadium go up on my way to work and it is pretty unbelievable how large it is and how much Jerry spent on the "Death Star." It is almost like he had to build this so he had something more he could brag about in Dallas. Very sad!!!

Glad Max and friends had fun! Did I mention that he was not able to get me a ticket, and I was incredibly disappointed that I could not share in the fun he had. And, yes, he missed Bible Study to go to the game! We will be teasing him about this for a while.!

It is amazing...

how much these puppies love each other! They just melt my heart!

One of the best times of year!

Fall is one of my absolute favorite times of the year. The cool weather, leaving our windows open and all of the leaves changing - can't get enough of it.

I have been inspired to decorate my house for Fall and thought I would share some of the progress.

I had this green wreath and I just added the fall garland intertwined into the wreath. I love having a wreath on our front door.

These pumpkins line our walkway up to our house. They are made of metal and are made by Roundtop.

Have you ever seen a pumplin like this? It is a white pumpkin that has orange and green veins in it. It is so different!

Fall topiary balls are strategically placed throughout our house to give us that splash of Fall.

This turkey was a wedding gift. I actually did not like it and my mom told me that I would love it one day. Well, she was right. I love putting this silly turkey on our dining room table every year. He has tons of personality. Who would have thought?

Max and I have had a full day. We crashed last night so early and woke up at 6:30 a.m. ready to conquer the world. We even made it to the State Fair of Texas for an hour and a half. That is about all we could stand.

This year, the fair is featuring fried Snickers and fried butter. What in the world has our obese world come to? As if butter and Snickers don't have enough calories as it is!!! Sick!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Oh and 1 more thing...

Take a look at this picture... real close. This girl sat in front of us and I was absolutely appalled by the lack of class this exhibited. I mean, seriously?



Oh - and I asked her if she knew she had a sticker on her. Her response -- "yes, I put it there?" REAL NICE!

Back to my alma mater!

Max and I went back to Auburn last weekend. We stayed with my dear friend and roommate from college, Katie Compton, and her husband Ben and sweet baby Campbell. We had an absolute blast hanging out with them. Katie and Ben, we miss you already. Thank you for giving us your weekend. We absolutely loved our time together. Can't wait to see you both soon! Below are pictures from our trip:

Man! What an incredible feeling it is to be back to my alma mater. I still get the biggest jolt of adrenaline watching the pre-game festivities.

My cute hubby and me!

Max and me outside Amsterdam (the restaurant). Anyone who has been there knows the turkey wraps and sweet potatoe chips are AMAZING!

Sweet Katie and Ben! Thank you for spending your weekend with us!

Katie and me. It is amazing how you pick up where you left off! I miss you sweet friend!

I am looking forward to a weekend at home - relaxing and getting caught up. The last two weekends away has me exhausted and real far behind with my house and life in general. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Seek and Destroy

We got back from vacation to find that our dogs had been very, very bad. They stayed at my parents house while we were in Mackinac and were very intrigued by my mom's stash of Styrofoam cups. After chewing through a few sleeves of cups, my mom put this up...



Sorry Mom for the trouble, but I have to say this picture still cracks me up! Not sure if your "cup cage" worked, but I think it was very creative!
