You can't spell Sugar without AR!!!

Saturday I made my very first trip to a Razorback game in Little Rock!!! I didn't think I was going to get to go, but a friend found me some tickets. The only catch was that they were in the LSU section. I knew that I could be risking my life, but it was a risk I had to take to get the chance to see the Hogs beat the Tigers for a shot at the Sugar Bowl!!! It could not have been a better day! The weather was absolutely perfect, the crowd was great, and the game was a blast!!! The LSU fans that were around us were older and were actually pretty friendly so we didn't have any problems. It was a MUCH different experience than what I had in Omaha with LSU fans and I was really greatful for that. It also helped that the Hogs took care of business on the field, so the fans didn't have too much to say! Ha! I'm not a very good photographer at games because I get really nervous and into the game and forget to take pictures. But here are a few:Beautiful blue skies for the pre-game festivitiesThe Hogs defense fired up and making a stand!

One happy Hog fan!!!

One of the Hog weight room guys told me tonight that I have to go to all the games from now on since they won on Saturday. Sounds good to me! Hopefully my next stop will be New Orleans!!!

A Mouthful of Happy

I used my Bliss Cupcake Cafe gift certificate today! They were having a Thanksgiving special so I decided to pre-order some cupcakes for next week. My nephews will love having cupcakes for a Thanksgiving dessert! After I got my order placed, I realized that I couldn't walk out of there empty handed!

They aren't kidding...it really is a mouthful of happy!

Red Velvet Razorback!

After a rough night last night, this definitely hit the spot! At 2:30 am, I discovered reason number 5,324,572 that being single can be really annoying!!! The battery in the smoke detector in my bedroom decided to go out. I about jumped out of my skin when it started BLARING! I ran downstairs to get the step-ladder because I can't reach the smoke detector. I get back upstairs and then realize that I can't get the cover off of the battery wall without a screwdriver. At least by now it has stopped blaring and is just beeping loudly every minute. I found a screwdriver but it took me forever to get the battery out because even with the step ladder I could barely reach the stupid thing and it was a weird angle and 3 am at this point! I knew that I didn't have another battery to replace it with, but I thought that it would stop beeping if I just removed the battery. Wrong!!! After all of that it was still beeping! I definitely wasn't going to go to Wal-Mart by myself in the middle of the night, so I ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs to try to get to where I couldn't hear the beeping. Oh my, I had to just laugh at myself! And I learned a very important lesson...always have a spare 9 volt battery!

A lot To Catch Up On

Ok, so maybe not "a lot" but I have had a few things going on since July! Ha! Here goes:

• The Razorbacks - No surprise here, but if I haven't been at work or church, I've either been feeding the Razorbacks or watching them play. I could not be more proud of these guys and how hard they are working! I had the chance to go back to Dallas for the TX A&M game and met up with my mom and brother. We had a great time and have decided to make that a family tradition!

• Halloween - I've been helping out with the College Ministry at my church this semester. It has been a great and challenging experience. We had a Fall Festival and costume party that was so much fun! I dressed up as Flo the Progressive Insurance girl. It was funny how many people told me that I really looked like her! I even won a Bliss Cupcakes gift certificate in the costume contest! Ha! This picture is of me and some of the sweet girls in the group.

• Friends and Dancing - Last weekend, I had a great time catching up with some old friends and meeting some new ones. I love it when Hillary gets to visit NWA because we always have a blast and I miss her so much!!! This visit was especially fun because I also got to see Kelly, Laurie, and a super fun group of girls! We went to FBC Bentonville's Mugs & Muffins, lunch at Noodles, and watched Kelly do a great job dancing for Dancing with the NWA Stars! I wish every weekend could be that much fun!!!

Well, that about does it. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day of helping my dad do some catering and going to the Hogs' game. I'm already trying to prepare myself for Senior Night at the game! Ha! I feel like I did when it was my brothers playing in their Senior games! I know that sounds silly, but after 3 seasons of serving these guys and having some of them work for us, they really do feel like family! I'll have to do a post on that another day....hopefully it won't take me 4 months to get around to it!
