the weekenders: a little bit of SEC football

I may not be the loudest fan. I may not don orange and blue and auburn tshirts all the time. But just know that there is a part of me that gets giddy at a sea of orange in a stadium all howling war eagle and seeing the tops of hundreds of orange tents partnered with the aroma of grilled burgers. It's my school and it's a tradition.

War Eagle.

the weekenders: ice cream

If you've ever been to Auburn, you KNOW that you have to try Toomer's Lemonade. But when I go to Toomer's it is more likely that I will walk out with an ice cream cone than a big cup of lemonade (I can take about 5 or 6 sips of the lemonade and I'm done...it's SO sour!). And...I'll probably have a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough.
Quick story: my freshman year, I went to Toomer's for ice cream in August (right after classes had started) and I sat down with my ice cream cone, went to lick the ice cream and it fell on the ground. It had rolled OFF the cone!

So I just picked it up and put it back on the cone. And then enjoyed my ice cream.
Nothing comes between me and ice cream...






I kind of always dreamed I would meet that special someone at Auburn, and we would be a little Auburn couple and go to football games, Toomer's, J&M, and lots of coffee shops in Auburn. I dreamed of taking coffee to that boy while he was studying for midterms and baking him little goodies. And you know, God always gives you the better plan and the better future. Turns out, I knew Garrett before going to college and we go to different schools. But he does visit and we get to go to games and Toomer's AND eat our ice cream on Samford lawn. So uh...war eagle?

the weekenders: f r i d a y

Friday night, Garrett drove up to our house and I jumped for joy! We were going out on a date and I was going to dress up and hoped to feel good. We went out to Ma-Fia's  (how I had never been there...I don't know), and the second my foot hit the threshold of this restaurant, I fell in love! The salad had fried mozzarella and the main dishes were simply amazing. I've decided to eat everything on the menu at some point in my life. Hopefully in the next 2 years (well, we'll see bout that).

On a sad note, I thought Garrett and I looked pretty snazzy but all I got was a picture of him with my phone. Well, I still think he looks dapper.
