This certainly has been an eventful weekend...more than originally planned, but it was super fun, so it's ok!!
Friday we went to the Auburn vs. Vandy baseball game...We got there around the top of the 6th and let's just say it wasn't pretty...As ya'll know, I am probably one of the single largest Auburn fans in the history of the world, but Vandy has the #1 baseball program in the country...I know why...we left around the top of the 8th when the score was 10-2 (not Auburn) I just can't sit there and watch my Tigers struggle like that, but let me end this topic with an extra large WAR EAGLE!!! We also got to spend some time with Ben's "kid sister", Taylor. It was so fun to have her over in Auburn...not to mention any night that is topped off with some Xbox Kinect is a great night, in my book!! Here is a pic...
Saturday was the Amphibious Warrior Mud Run...It was CRAZY!! Hopefully they will post pictures soon. I just have to say that I could NOT have finished it without Ben...The entire way, he stayed with me, pulled me through the creek when I couldn't touch the bottom, gave me butt boosts over the walls, and most importantly, he encouraged me the whole way. I think of that race as a metaphor for our lives together...There were photographers taking pictures, they haven't posted them yet, but as soon as they do, I promise I'll put them up!!
Saturday night was Bret Woods's going away party at the Pickle Barrel. In case ya'll don't know, the Pickle Barrel (PBC) is a restaurant where Ben (and now myself) has become a regular...The management and much of the staff has become a bit like family to us :0) Bret is one the managers/cooks and he is moving away so Saturday night was his last shift and we definitely threw down the right way!! Here are a couple of pics from the evening...
A GREAT time was definitely had by all!!!
Today, Ben and I went house hunting...We have been talking about getting a place together for awhile. I had a list of rentals from one of the realty companies so we finally just drove around Auburn and checked it out....We found a couple of places! I'm so excited for us to get "our" place, rather than me move in with him or vice versa...We hope to move before the Summer is over :)
After we did that, we went to the Supper Club for "Strummin' for Strays." It was a charity event put on by the Macon County Humane Society...This is a great organization and is run strictly on a volunteer/foster basis. They do not have a shelter so any animal that they get must be fostered. They pay for everything (food, vet bills, crate, etc)...It is a GREAT cause that Ben and I are hoping to help more with when we get a house with a back yard!! In the mean time, please check out http://www.maconcountyhumanesociety.org/ and help out in any way that you can!
I have off school tomorrow and I hope to get my herb garden planted and then I dunno...maybe do some homework? Haha!!
You both have such great hearts
