A Full Weekend

I use the word "full" to describe our weekend not because we were busy {which we were, but that's not the point I'm trying to make}, but because our short two and a half days there were filled with spending quality time with people that mean so much to us.

Catching up with college friends and close relatives, laughing until we almost pee in our pants with my sisters... and actually with Aaron, Mom, and Dad too come to think of it... being back in Starkville, cheerin' on the Dawgs, and I could go on and on about what made this weekend special... So I'll just show you the highlights in pictures!

We stayed at the cutest little bed and breakfast in Columbus owned by Ms. Betty Jo Backstrom. It was like staying at your Grandmother's house.

The antique furniture, her historic home, her delicious breakfasts...

We made ourselves right at home!

On Saturday morning, my mom and I made our way to the Chi O homecoming brunch. I knew this would be the best way to see the most amount of people in one day and I was right!

Oh Megan, it's just been way too long. Seeing you was the highlight of my weekend.

Just being in the Chi O house and catching up with college friends was like a breath of fresh air.

To me, tailgating is one of the highlights of coming up for a football game. You get food, fun, and fellowship all under one tent!

Aaron loves his sisters... and oh, how they love him... So much so, I get kicked out of pictures! :)

And we love our cousin Garrett... Is it just me or do we all look "related" in this picture?

I didn't take near as many pictures as I should have {surprisingly}, but I do think you've gotten the "jist" of it all, right?

Moving onto the game...

I love the Dawg Pound Rock... It's takes me back to the "old days" of State games... and all the cowbells of course.

We had great seats thanks to a very nice player friend...

The moon was pretty impressive.

The Dawgs pulled out a win but I guess with every game no matter how good or bad you play, a win is a win. Beatin' the Gators in the swamp one week, then pulling off a not-so-pretty win the next was a little nerve-wracking to watch, but they found a way to pull through and it was so refreshing. Sports are so dramatic! I guess that's why we love it though.

I write about our weekend "filled to the brim" and so thankful for our time spent with special friends and close family.

Oh, and thanks to all of you blogreaders who I can now put a face to a number on my sitemeter! It's encouraging to me how many of y'all there are and it means so much that you take the time to read this. Heck, thanks to ALL of you out there whoever you are!
