Kentucky Game

Josh and I had a road trip to Lexington with my sorority sister and college roommate, Maggie. We left work a little early on Friday and drove through Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky-it was a wild and rainy ride, but Josh got us to Lexington safe and sound.

We met up with the Nelly's, Brittnay and Stubs to tailgate outside of the stadium before the game. It rained the whole day-I wish I had my wellies then!


Here we are with Elizabeth and Steve headed to the game.

Shake that pom pom!
Commonwealth Stadium-a sea of blue.

Josh and I enjoyed the game and another Gator Victory!

Tennessee Game

We made the trip down to Gainesville for the Tennessee Game, it was so much fun to spend time with family and friends. I was so lucky to get to tailgate with some of my best friends. Here I am with Gwen, Lauren and Allison.








It was also great to spend time with Reema and Katie!!










A highlight of our tailgate was the whole hog Danny cooked for us-it was soo good.






Josh and I had a great time at the game, and enjoyed our first visit to the F Club where I ran into the Monahan's, Alex and Wild Bill (aka Treston Traylor).






Here Lauren, Melissa, Gwen and I are enjoying the post game tailgate. I can hardly believe that we all have been friends for the past 11 years. Time flys when you're having fun!

Wellies from Wales

So Josh brought me back some goodies from his trip. I am now the proud owner of Wellies from Wales!


He also bought me a beautiful purple scarf in Rome.



Isn't it pretty? Here's the scarf at home with a few of my other scarves-I'm getting ready for winter!

Thanks again to Mid-Atlantic Martha for her great give away! I am excited to use all the great goodies that she sent me!

Sunday Shopping and other happenings

Jen, Lacey and I went shopping on Sunday. We had a great time hitting up all the stores. I got an early start on a few holiday items from Crate & Barrel, and also stocked up on more fall goodies from Williams-Sonoma including the Spiced Pecan and Pumpkin Quick bread.

This will be a nice treat for Josh when he gets back from his business trip.

I am super excited that I entered and won my very first blogger give away from Mid-Atlantic Martha! She has a wonderful blog, I really enjoy all her home decorations and tablescapes.

On Wednesday I am looking forward to helping Jen and John celebrate their anniversary by babysitting Jack. I am pulling out the Dyson and mop this evening to make sure my floors are spotless for his crawling adventures!

Welcome to Fall

It's in the 40's now, the leaves are changing, fall has come to the Thompson house. Thanks to my newest Yankee Candle the scent of warm spices have filled our home. Summer used to be my favorite season, I am a Florida girl after all, but fall is finding a warm place in my heart.
