Guilty Pleasures

First, I want to give a shout out to my beautiful cousin, Heather! Her and Ben got engaged last night and we all couldn't be happier for them!!!! Her ring is beautiful......... Congrats Ben & Heather!!!

I have a few guilty pleasures {something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it} Fashion, Food {especially unhealthy foods high in sugar and/or fat}, Football and Fellowship!

Tonight, Paul & I devoured one of my fav all time meals!!!

GRILLED CHICKEN & WAFFLES!!! scrumptious, I know! :)

I'm sure you've heard of the famous Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles but if you haven't it's SO yummy! Paul and I ate there last Jan. when we saw the Tide play for the National Championship. :) 

Evidence we were there! It sure didn't feel like it...what a whirlwind!! 

Speaking of national champions... {I just can't help myself} The word Schadenfreude comes to mind-- pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Sorry, to all my AU peeps. :) It's healthy competition, right?

Hope you enjoyed Catching up with the Comer's! :)

Feel free to leave a comment (but please know I'm kidding about AU)

Third Saturday in October

My favorite time of the year has quickly approached us! Have I mentioned I LOVE football? Well, seriously if I haven't then you may have missed out on one of the most interesting things about me! 

What makes me tick?

a. God

b. Family, Friends, Football & Fellowship

c. Eating good food, Cooking

d. Shopping & Dressing well

Onward to the topic of my Blog post...Third Saturday in October.

If you google Third Saturday in October you'll actually find a wikipedia definition. Even though the game has only fallen on that weekend 5 times since the '92 season. For the last 22 years (at least) it's been a family tradition to head up to Gatlinburg for the weekend to watch the Crimson Tide slaughter the Tennessee Vols.   On Saturday we make the drive from G'burg to Knoxville and cheer on the Tide.

This year makes #5 that Paul & I have made the trip with my parents. It was like no other this year... Friday night we ate at The Peddler and if you've not been here it's AWESOME! I recommend the ENORMOUS salad bar if you are not starving. For the men or starving women the Peddler comes to take your order and cuts your meat tableside.   

This year was a little different... Paul didn't meet mom, dad and I until Friday night.

We had FUN in the meantime!

Zip lining was an adventure! It's a bit hard to explain the experience but I would totally do it again!  

Oldies but goodies! Our first trip to Knoxville together 2002

BAHAHAHA! Paul looks so mean! :)

The Carter Family + Paul looking excited!

G'BURG 2004 (I've already added these to the embarassing folder) :)

 I'm sure we are making fun... too bad we look AWFUL!
