I sent a friend an email and told her I'd never post on the blog again.
Then I changed my mind....
So rather then post my extremely long post, I'm posting about our weekend. It, of course, was spent in Starkville. Starkville is my favorite place on earth. It still feels like home, and I love every minute we get to spend there!
I drove into town on Thursday. My Dad was in town, and besides the fact that I had to work, we had SUCH a fun time! I felt like I was a little kid again. Dad went fishing with my Grandfather and I went to meet them the last hour they were down there. I didn't catch anything. :( However, I didn't get the line hung or caught on anything which was a huge achievement from the last time I fished.......when I was 6. I also used a lure, so no need for squirming over the worm. And since I didn't catch anything, I didn't have to enforce the "we throw back whatever I catch policy."
I did, however, manage to scare the fish away from my line. Dad had warned me that the lure that was on my line was for bass. This meant that I had to give it a chance to hook on the line. Apparently bass are sneaky and will steal your lure and manage to get off the line. Well, 6 year old me was fishing for about ten minutes before a bass nudged my line. I pulled it back and yelled DADDY!!!! Just like I was 6 years old. Fishies kind of creep me out! After my failed fishing attempt, we said goodbye to my grandfather and headed to dinner.
Because we had not been to eat just the two of us in awhile, I let Dad choose our destination. We went to Old Venice. It was yummy! However, my Dad threatened to leave as soon as we got there because they had a Jim Hood for Attorney General sign up. My family and I are not Jim Hood supporters. You can ask me why if you're a Mississippi voter, and we can talk about it. I don't feel like going into detail on my public blog. Anyway, the hostesses at Old Venice knew something was wrong so they asked what was up. When we told them we couldn't eat somewhere supporting Hood, they said, "oh it was just a meet and greet" and "they are gone now." So mind you, they weren't necessarily supporting Jim Hood. I mean, the hostesses might have been, but the eating establishment was not. So glad we cleared that up because we got to stay and dinner was SO good!
Friday, Mom came to town. She brought Skip and Lacey was so excited! (Kidding...the two dogs act like they've never met!) Anyway, it was Pumpkin Palooza in Downtown Starkville. This is an event mainly for little kids to dress up and "trick or treat" at local businesses downtown. Well, since we have no little kids, we dressed the dogs up in their Halloween costumes.
Let me add this. I made a promise to David Adams that I would never buy Lacey anymore clothes after I bought her MSU cheerleader outfit. Lucky for him, I've stuck by that promise! So Lacey went dressed as a cheerleader and Skip went dressed as the Great Pumpkin. They were too cute!
Skip and Mom went to the Pumpkin Patch. If you haven't read her blog, you should go here. Though I'm not sure she's updated it lately!
Cheerleader and the Great Pumpkin...
That night, David arrived! My parents, David, his sister Danielle, and I all went to Maroon Madness at the Hump. We got there in time to see the Volleyball game, and the team WON! My first experience with Volleyball, and I don't think it will be my last! No pictures from the event, but it was SO much fun! Except for the ridiculously loud music! Hey, at least they played the PG version of all of the songs. That's more than we can say for Memphis Madness. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google Memphis Madness Yo Gotti
Anyway! Saturday, bright and early was the South Carolina game. We of course were there. And I'm still not sure I'm over that heartbreaking loss. :( At least afterwards we got to see some very good friends.
These are our baseball friends Gavin and Paul. Though it seems like we run into them for every season now! They put up with us and our loud mouths at Dudy Noble.
Some more really good friends. We love the Phillips! I'm not sure how long it's been since we've seen them! Probably at another MSU game. So glad David got to meet them. Sure missed seeing Mrs. Kerry!
We ran into David's brother Jesse after the game and took a picture. For some reason, we just can't get all four of us together in one picture which is sad because we're usually all in Starkville on the weekends.
David's Mom has been asking why we don't take a picture of the four of us. I'm pretty sure that we haven't taken one all together since our wedding! So when we randomly all ran into each other at the same tailgate that afternoon, I was adamant about taking a picture. Luckily Danielle had her camera! You're welcome Mrs. Patti!
Well that recaps our Starkville weekend. Aren't you proud of me for life posting? I promise I'm going to back track too! There are just too many good photos!
Let's hope our Bulldogs can win some in the second half of the season! In the words of my father who rewrites lyrics to every song:
Hail Dear Old State
Fight for the victory today
Win or lose, tie or draw, you're the best team we ever saw!
We'll beat LSU, Ole Miss, and Georgia too
Fight for Mississippi State
Go to hell Ole Miss
Well, I guess we'll take one out of three for this season? Win or lose, tie or draw, the Bulldogs are the best team! Hands down!
