Roll Tide

As many, if not all, know that our family loves football season. It has finally arrived! Shane and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary last Thursday. Before Hannah Claire arrived we decided that this weekend would be our first overnight away from her. We thought 3 months would be a good time to give it a try, plus our anniversary, plus Alabama football. Sounds perfect right? Well, it really was. We had a great time. It was hard to leave my precious little angel with anyone but me. I knew she would be fine with Mawmaw and Papa (Shane's parents) so that made it a little easier. I didn't even cry when I left the house. (I distracted myself with political talk shows discussing the Palin announcement! Very exciting!) I picked Shane up at the Atlanta airport and then we spent Friday and Saturday night in ATL. If you saw the game you know we had a blast. We hope that the rest of the season can be this much fun. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Hannah Claire was not there, but I can't do a post without a picture of her. She is getting ready for her first game next weekend.
Halftime score:
Shane & I at Gameday Saturday morning
*We just watched Gameday on Tivo and saw ourselves. We were sitting under a tree, for some much needed shade and the camera guy came right up to us. Sure enough, there we were. Shaking our shakers right there on ESPN.*
Even the Chick-fil-A cow is a Bama fan. Notice the Bama jersey he has on.
Just before we went into the dome
My Mom and Janice (long time family friend) were there too. We got to see them for a little bit before the game.
Can you feel the excitement? It was electric!
This was us after the win. Notice the crowd. The Bama side is still full of cheering fans. The Clemson side is empty. I love to win! It makes for a great trip.

Roll Tide!!! Glad you guys had so much fun! Our lives have all changed so much since last year in Jacksonville!! I guess the best way to look at it is that Bama gained 2 new fans!
