My husband and I have lots of reasons to celebrate this Labor Day weekend! All of our teams won– even Furman! Washington and Lee didn’t play, but we’ll be sure to post their very exciting highlights throughout their football season.*
(* kidding)
Louisiana Tech (my alma mater) beat Mississippi State 22-14 in Ruston! The bulldogs vs. the bulldogs! It was the first time that Tech hosted an SEC team at home and the first time they’ve beaten an SEC team since 1999. Geaux Dawgs!
The University of South Carolina (my grad school alma mater) shut out NC State 34-0 at home on Thursday night. We’re looking forward to more exciting games this season as our schedule gets tougher. Todd is headed to Nashville on Thursday morning to watch the Gamecocks take on Vanderbilt. Go Cocks!
And maybe most importantly, Clemson lost. The ACC pretty much fell flat on their faces yesterday and our house couldn’t be happier. The No. 9 ranked team fell to No. 24, Alabama at the Georgia Dome. I’m not an Alabama fan, but I was yesterday. My cousin and her husband are big Alabama fans and I know they were happy. The final score was 34-10. Roll Tide!

While I don’t have any plans to cut my hair, I’m just smitten with Reese’s haircut and adorable dress. She always looks so happy!

How could I forget? It’s time for Carolina football!
Todd and I are walking to the stadium from our house. I’m leaving work at 2:00 and I’m so excited to be in the midst of Gamecock fever.
Let’s hope we leave and don’t look like this:

I always find that my favorite Halloween goodies are in Pottery Barn Kids. The new catalog came yesterday and I’m finally going to break down and order the trick or treat basket with the monogrammed liner. It’s so cute! I wanted it last year and never ordered it. This year we’ll have real trick-or-treaters and we need a cute basket!
I’m also pretty sure that I need to locate those black and white lollipops!
Now, how cute are these costumes? I have to admit that they make me a little hungry! I think they’re a little small for Todd and me to wear, but we’ll keep it in mind in case we run out of options.
And the banana! She looks so happy to be dressed like an Organic Chiquita!

Just kidding. I’m so excited, though, because I received three awards this week! I am just so glad that people are actually reading all of my ramblings!
Nautical by Nature gave me this award! I’m so flattered. I love her blog and love to see the preppy clothes and hear about all of her fun adventures through LA, DC, and Australia!
Then I got this gorgeous Diamond Award from
Vineyard Vogue and
Nautical by Nature! Vineyard Vogue is so much fun. I swear she’s a Southern girl in the cold north! She always has adorable posts about life, fashion, fun, and a recent post full of adorable Golden Retriever puppy shots! We all know I love Golden Retrievers!
Thanks, ladies!
I’m supposed to pay it forward to five bloggers and they are:
Southern Daze- One of my favorite blogs. We have such similar taste and so many random things in common. She has also given me great tips on things to do in Dallas when I visit my parents.
Lavender Lily- A friend of mine from college that I randomly found in the blogosphere! Her writing style is wonderful and she has great ideas!
HaselBride- My favorite bride blog. I’m so excited to see her plan her wedding as it gets closer!
A Belle and her Beau- I just found this blog recently and it’s really adorable. Great ideas, products, and most recently, great wedding pictures!
Check out all of these blogs and add them to your readers!
