weekend roundup

Roll Tide! It was a fun gameday Saturday in Tuscaloosa . . . and by fun I mean lots of picture taking, goofing around, and fellowship with friends during the game! Not to be mistaken, we watched the game, but after we were toppling North Texas by about 24 pts, I lost interest. Here's a round of photos, enjoy! Roommates! {true fact: girl in the background hasn't shaved her legs in a year}Note Sarah's tube socks.

John David got to dress out!

And photo of the night belongs to Kelsey and Sarah. You are both beautiful {inside and out}!
Hope that last photo made your day, if not then have a listen Ben Rector's new song titled "She Is"

Or John Mayer and Tony Bennett's take of "One For My Baby"

wednesday night entertainment

One of my favorite past times is listening to music and going to concerts. We have this neat venue called Workplay in Birmingham that some friends and I frequent. Wednesday night we made a short road trip to see Andrew Ripp and Steve Moakler start off their Half and Half tour!
Let the road trip begin . . .

I had never heard anything by Andrew Ripp besides a few downloaded songs a few weeks back, but I must tell you to definitely check him out!

One of my favorites is his song, Peace Like A River, written about/for his wife.


Group shot with wonderful friends! Roomies!

Helllloooo Steve!

His new album, Watching Time Run, is an absolute must listen!

labor day + roll tide

Happy Labor Day! Hope every one has a wonderful holiday! Unfortunately I am working today {ironic, right?} but I have a little get together planned for after! If only I could trade places for the day with this lady . . .

Weekend News: Football season has officially kicked off! Alabama had a great start beating Kent State 48-7! It was an early game, hot weather, and lots of fun! So excited to see what's going to happen this year! ROLL TIDE!
