One Beautiful Life

Daddy's Georgia Girls

Don and I had the pleasure of sneaking away for a Georgia game date this past weekend! Since we ended up with eight tickets, we went back and forth about a dozen times whether or not to take Abby. Even though we make dates a priority, we most always end up missing her and wishing she was with us.

Since she was recovering from chicken pox and the weather was going to be WARM, we decided to let her stay home and have her own "date" with the playful babysitter and we'd get some much needed adult time!

But daddy did not leave his smallest Georgia girl out of the festivities by any means. Saturday morning he snuck her off to Chick-fil-A and they brought back chicken mini biscuits with honey for our "tail gate" party in the bed! He'd gone out the day before and bought some "Bull Dawg Gear" as surprises for us both! She came to my bedside sporting a very large grin, a new Georgia t-shirt, a sticker on her face, and a new Georgia Bulldog purse for me! She was so cute and thrilled to be so included in the fun! (Daddy got some points for that one!)

Since I grew up in Alabama as a "Roll Tide" girl, went to college at UNC and became a "Tar Heel", and now reside in the beautiful Southern state of Georgia, (where my husband was a "Dawg") I have decided that I am a fan of all three teams... unless they are playing each other. I will have to be a "Dawg" this Fall for the Georgia/Alabama game!

Having been to games at all three of these colleges, I have to say that the Univeristy of Georgia knows how to have a ballgame! As soon as you arrive in Athens, the entire town is BUZZING and full of wonderful (and some not so wonderful) energy! It is so much fun and the excitement just takes me back to feeling like a kid... maybe that's why stadiums are always packed!

Last week's game was very fun, even though Georgia pounded Central Michigan. Plays like Dobbs running the ball back down the field for a touchdown and Moreno leaping over a defensive player to avoid the tackle added some memorable moments!

After the game we found a great little taco place for a quick dinner before our drive back home. All the way home we talked about which game we can take Abby to in the Fall! We'll see...

Thank you honey for a very fun date!
