24th birthday!

hey! i had a birthday last week! the big 2-4! my sweet co-workers got me a cake with 6 candles. they asked what the multipier was (i know, we are nerds), and i told them 4. i think i made them all feel old. but i wasn't trying to rub it in. since zach had been working nights, i came home to spend the afternoon with him before he went into work that night. i thought we could do a laid back bday thing. i ended up cooking and cleaning, and it felt more like zach's bday than mine! we decided a re-do would be in order once things settled down.

like i said, i cooked. check out our yummy linner (lunch/dinner)- thai chicken and pineapple stirfry YUM!

and a breakfast banana split for dessert!

and nora and i did some yoga. she likes to do yoga in her sleep.

grindin'

so. i should have done this post a couple weeks ago, but i've been busy. so here it is. i have to say first that i am traveling on business tonight, and i sit in my hotel room watching my bulldogs host the LSU tigers at Davis Wade Stadium. how awesome in the WHITE OUT???? it's beautiful. trust me. well, it's the start of the 2nd quarter, and i am so proud of how they are playing! i've said it before and i'll say it again- we play best when we are the underDAWGS (excuse the pun, but it is true). and i hope we really stick it to them tonight!

i'm a little nervous that my hotel-mates are going to complain about me. i can't help it- the cowbells sound awesome, and i refuse to turn it down! REFUSE.

ok- so let's go back to the first game of the season. MSU at Memphis! so glad to be at this first game of what is going to be an epic season. EPIC. (i'm kind of into repeating words and capitalizing them for emphasis because i am so pumped for my bulldogs! PUMPED!)

it's true- i get goosebumps when i see OUR STATE colors flying.

Zach had to work. Caryl and Robyn stayed for Korbyn. So here is the gang- mom, alex, sonny, and tom. we had a blast. go dawgs!

appropriate 4th quarter celebratory funnel cake. yes, please. (btw- memphis stadium had awesome concessions!)

and we all remember how this game ended... 59-14. go dawgs!

check out my baby niece!! she is so precious!! got to spend the day after the game with korbyn, her parents, and her grandparents. what a great day!

the rest of the weekend was spent hanging with the memphis gals! oh, how i miss them! loved staying with mary and pretending we were back in college. i did not take any pics bc i'm sure you don't want to see wrapped in a snuggie eating sushi and watching prom. try hard not to be jealous.

short work week, then zach and i headed up to auburn to catch the 2nd msu football game with his parents!

chills. again.

zach got to be at a game! this is pre-sunburn. oh, it was bad.
had to show this throwback pic from 2007. zach and i came to the auburn-msu game when we were juniors... and this is after we had won in overtime! i look the same. zach does not. check out that hair!!!!

on a side note, i'm also really upset that i am not home watching the game with my hubby and my baby kitty. nora came home from her operations tonight. she's a little groggy from the drugs still, but my rug and couch are super happy her claws are gone now. and. she's a bit lighter from having her female organs removed. hey- we didn't even know she was a girl at first.

ok- halftime. we are looking good. REAL GOOD. i think we keep playing better and better each play. ok. i really hope i did not just jinx the game. bc now there is proof. crap. oh well. go dawgs!
