National Champions!

I cannot even begin to express 

just how excited I am! 

GO NOLES! 

weekend shenanigans

The past two weekends have been fairly busy. 

Fun, but busy! 

The fair was in town a couple of weeks ago. 

D and I went on Friday night. 

Of course, we had a funnel cake 

and we rode the ferris wheel. 

The fair also had a really cool area that 

had a blacksmith, an old-time general store, 

and some antique farm equipment. 

Like I have said before, 

the fair means the arrival of fall. 

Living in South Georgia 

the weather can be a bit unpredictable, 

so, it cannot be counted on to 

determine the seasons. ;)

The next night 

D and I, along with his family, 

went to a nearby haunted attraction... 

Haunted Montrose. 

It was a ton of fun! 

The gang

The gang trying to take a selfie! 

Last Friday, 

my office had it's annual fall festival. 

We had games and candy galore. 

It was so much fun! 

My favorite game was the glow stick bowling. 

It looked super cool. 

A small sampling of the candy.

Last Saturday, 

D and I went to Savannah. 

Savannah finally has a Chipotle!!!!! 

I cannot express how excited I am about this fact. 

I no longer have to drive 3+ hours to get my Chipotle fix. 

Granted, D may not be as happy about this development. 

I highly doubt he wants to eat at the same restaurant every time we go to Savannah. 

Chipotle is right beside a Bruster's (not yet open) ... 

ice cream is probably my second favorite food, 

right behind Chipotle. 

This is food heaven for me. 

There is also a Whole Foods in the same shopping center. 

So, we browsed around the store some. 

They had Biscoff ice cream 

and it was divine! 

D totally racked up the brownie points Saturday night! 

Biscoff ice cream ... Amazing!

After dinner and dessert, 

we drove down to River Street and 

walked around. 

Then we stopped in a restaurant to watch 

the second half of the FSU/Miami game. 

In which, the Noles dominated! 

It was pretty much a perfect night! 

end of an era

 

Honoring #10



This weekend was bittersweet.

Sunday was Chipper Jones' last regular season homegame

for the Atlanta Braves.

I bought tickets for this game back in June

and I am glad that I did because the stadium sold out quickly.

Game Day Nails

It was such a good game; emotional but good!

I know, I know.

There is no crying in baseball...

unless it is Chipper's last game, then it is perfectly okay!
I have always been a huge Braves fan
and Chipper has been my favorite player for as long as I can remember.
My favorite game just will not be the same without #10 on the field.

I have a habit of buying tickets in the same section of Turner Field

every time I go, usually on the Terrace level.

For some reason, I bought tickets on the Club level this time. 

And let me tell you, I am hooked. 

The Club level of Turner Field is Amazing!

You have to have tickets to even get in this level. 

It is where all of the suites are and where most season ticket holders sit.  

Sadly, I was a bad blogger and did not get any pictures.  

However, I will be buying tickets on this level from now on!





When it was time for the players to take the field,

all of the other Braves players let

Chipper go out to third base by himself.

He was the only player on the field for about 30 seconds

and the crowd went wild.

Chip's 1st At-Bat of the Game

Of course, my friends and I ate horribly.

There was no healthy eating on the schedule Sunday.

We had nachos, ice cream, a funnel cake, and Coke.

I felt so sick on the way home from the game.

But it was all too good to pass up!

To make the day just perfect, the Braves won!

After the game, they interviewed Chipper

and put it on the big screen.

After the interview, he went into the stands

and hugged his parents.

Cue the waterworks.

I had done so well up until that point!

The team used special balls all weekend

in honor of Chipper.

And I had to buy one!
My little piece of Braves history.



Chipper had a great last home game.

The Braves are going to the playoffs.

It really was a great weekend!

On a sports related side note:

The Seminoles are doing great this year!

5-0 baby!!

college football weekend!

One of my favorite times of the year is finally here

College Football Season! 

This past weekend was gloriously filled with lots of college football. 

I will watch an NFL game but I do not have a favorite team; so, I do not really get invested in the games. 

College football is a completely different story. 

The besties and I watched at least one football game every day of the weekend. 

My team is Florida State University and I bleed Garnet & Gold.

GO NOLES!! 

But I am surrounded by Georgia fans. 

I know, I know. 

I live in Georgia. 

But I grew up 30 miles north of Tallahassee. 

Athens was like 5 hours away. 

Proximity, and in my opinion, a better football team, wins every time. 

So, Saturday we watched both the FSU & UGA games. 

I was even a good sport and did not gloat about Florida State winning and Georgia losing. 

But inside I was doing a little happy dance. :)

I am super excited that FSU is actually ranked this year and seem to have a really good team. 

It has been too many years of sub par football to suit me. 

The real test will not be until week 3 when they play Oklahoma. 

The first 2 weeks are pretty much cupcake games. 

I just hope the boys do not get complacent and stay on top of their game. 

Oklahoma is going to be tough to beat. 

But I have faith in my boys! 

I know I have at least 1 Oklahoma fan that reads my blog. 

JG I will still love ya even if FSU gets killed! ;)

However, I am not promising I will not gloat just a little bit on Facebook if the Noles win.
