SC vs Clemson Game!


Drew and his dad have an annual tradition of going to the SC vs Clemson game. This year it was in Columbia the Saturday of Thanksgiving. Here are the guys on their way to the game. A little late posting this one...

Tractor!

Now that we have a HUGE yard we needed a tractor. Here is Drew sporting his new ride. Notice how he still has the price tag on it. I had to take a picture of him b/c he looked so ridiculous riding around with a big price tag flapping in the wind. Oh the stupid things that make me laugh!

Flu Shot!

What do you if you are waiting to catch a flight? hmmm. Get a flu shot! Kristy and I were were in the Chicago airport on Thursday coming back from our sales meeting and Christmas party. She out of no where spotted a huge sign that read FLU SHOTS! I am TERRIFIED of needles and she wasn't much better. We talked each other into being tortured. Here are some lovely pictures of our fun day at the Ohare airport! Of course Chicago was beautiful.. it snowed a ton. I hope to get some pictures from my coworkers to share.

Clemson vs. Boston College Football Game

I have become a Clemson fan by marriage. Drew actually hates Clemson b/c they are rivals of USC. Ironically Clemson is his largest client so he has to wear orange and support them. I go to every game that I can with Drew's family. I have had a long standing date this year with my father-n-law Nick. Madison and Helen have been busy with Maddie's cheerleading and have had to miss all the games. Luckily on Saturday they got to come! My date this week was with my brother-n-law Mike. How lucky I am to have such great n laws! They are so fun!

Madison and Bless made this sign to get on TV. Drew got them front row seats at the game. They were adorable. They stood up the whole game waving the sign just hoping to get on TV.
Brent and Whitney stopped by the tailgate to say hello.
Drew and I. He works the games and I get to tailgate and have fun!

Drew, Maddie, and Mike

It was Nick's birthday. We celebrated at the tailgate. Since I don't cook I got to bring the b-day cake! Such a deal!

Mike and I at the game. Aunt Kathy bought me and the girls these headbands for the game. I love it but am now seeing I look like I am 13!
The tradition at Clemson is for the team to run down the hill onto the field.
Cheerleaders!


Unfortunately we lost but we still had a day of fun!

Dinner with friends.

We had dinner Friday night with our good friends Brent and Whitney. Brent moved from Clemson this summer to Fort Worth, TX. We miss him so much and were so glad to hang with him this weekend! MOVE HOME BRENT!!! Drew and Brent
The chubby newlyweds :)

Whitney and I

We bought a new house!!!!

On November 15 we closed on our new house!!!! We bought a house just 5 minutes from our "old" house. It is on 1.2 acres, has a pool and hottub! We are so excited!!!! We cannot wait for visitors! We still haven't sold our "old" house so we hope that happens sooner than later :)





The dogs went crazy over the HUGE yard!

Carolina vs Florida Football Game

Drew and I went to the USC vs. Florida game on Saturday. Here are some pics of us tailgating before the game. When we arrived to our typical parking spaces we noticed a HUGE crowd of skinny, tan, girls wearing hardly any clothes and nasty old men mingling with them. I cracked up and Drew was confused by all the commotion. It ended up being a Maxim Game Day party. Whatever that is. :) I got so excited b/c I noticed from a distance a big, silver trailer. The girls brought in Regal Bathrooms for their tailgate affair!!! YEAH! Have you ever heard of them? They are the Cadillac of port a potties... they have a sink, music, paper towels, etc. Most of all they are clean and you don't have to hold your breathe! Oh the things I get excited about....

Please notice Drew's number of outfit changes. This was a 3 hour time span. And I wonder why I have to do 99 loads of laundry in a week! :)

We left at half time due to the fact the Gamecocks were down by 21. We watched the 2nd half at the Downtown Brewery. Here are the boys with stunned faces as the Vols beat the Gamecocks!





Drew, Rena, and Matt and I all sat together in my dads seats. Perfect view for our win!
