Quick Photo Update

My goodness.. Where has 2011 gone? Here is a quick photo montage of the past few months. 

Carly's tailgate shower at the MSU vs. SC game! 

Hood's at the MSU vs SC game

Paul Simon at the Mud Island Amphitheater on October 29

I would post a video/sound clip, but my voice just over-powers Mr. Simon.

He was amazing! He played about 25 songs and they were ALL hits!

We dressed up for Halloween at work! Cruella DeVille definitely took the award!

Stephen & I went to the MSU vs TN Martin HC game! It was Seth's b'day week!

The weekend of Oct 19th was Carly's Last Rodeo! Bachelorette Party in Destin, FL

I was able to drive to Jackson then ride with my friends down to Destin!

The BRIDE!

Our group at Baytown... Always so much fun!!

 This past weekend was Thanksgiving in Jackson!

Everyone is so cooperative in this pic :)

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

OF COURSE, we made it to the Egg Bowl.  #HAILSTATE

CONGRATULATIONS to the BULLDOGS!! 

Can't wait to go bowl gaming with my dawgs!

Marta, Marty, Braves, Ray, Badger and Bethy

This past weekend we went on a anniversary trip to Atlanta with the Martins! 

We just had the best weekend ever! So glad that we could share such a fun trip!

Friday night we drove from Memphis to Atlanta to stay with Stephen's aunt, Aunt Dianne! We so enjoyed our visit.. and thank you for all of our goodies! :)

Saturday we went to check into our cute hotel, Hotel Indigo!

It was so nice and in such a good area! Actually.. Right across the street from the Fox Theatre (which we had a view of from our room!)

Saturday, we went to the Braves game! And they won!!! Whooo HOOO!!!

We rode the Marta everywhere.. P.S.   Also, if you ever go on a trip and need a navigator... Josh Martin is your man. He can find restaurants and get you there within walking distance or a marta ride. He is clutch to any trip. Just sayin. 

Girl pic & boy pic!

After the game, we decided to grab some din and hang out in Midtown!

My BFF, Bethy

My BFF, Badger

The cutest Martins I know. 

The next morning we slept late and had lunch at Front Page News 

Such a cute place.. with a new orleans style brunch and jazz band!

Of course, we rode the Marta! 

At Front Page News:

pardon the no make up and red eyez. 

Sunday night was the main event.  We rode the Marta to the last train stop and took a Marta bus to Alpharetta and then walked a mile... literally... a mile to the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.  It was all worth it to see Ray LaMontagne. (Jolene) I didn't get a good pic of him.. So here is a pic from last year... 

Best artist I have ever heard.. Live is better than on a CD.. You are missing out if you don't know who he is. Just sayin. 

Beth and I basically wore matching shirts all weekend.. and I'm not mad about it. 

This amphitheater was the best outdoor venue I've ever been to! I would definitely recommend it for a concert.. but don't walk there :) 

Brandi Carlile opened up for Ray and she was sooo good! Check her out if you get a chance! 

I'm so glad that we got to share our weekend!! I love you Martins!

On a lighter note.. The bulldogs play Saturday and I'm counting on a big fat W. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Hunka Hunka MSU!!

It was rivalry week at work ... in preparation for the MSU beat down. 

Thursday was game day and we all had to show our school spirit!

Nicole & I ready for the game!! She was cheering for the wrong team though! :)

Stephen had a celebrity sighting! Nicest guy ever. 

Memphis basketball coach, Coach Pastner .. and ladies let me tell you.. he is CUTE!

Stephen, Seth & I had a great time! 

This weekend, Mr. Toler & Mrs. Lisa came to visit! We crammed a lot into a short weekend! We went to Graceland.. here is my photo montage of Graceland. And let me tell you.. I couldn't get enough Elvis.. We came home and we stalked every bit of Elvis we could find. 

(P.S. if you haven't been... they don't let you upstairs in the mansion.. so you miss Elvis's bedroom - which they say hasn't been touched since he died.)

We tried to cheat the system and sneak pictures so that we didn't have to buy them.. It didn't work too well since the monster lady caught us. 

In front of Graceland.  Stephen & I LOVE an audio tour.

The front room & music room

The dining room and BEAUTIFUL chandelier.

One of my fav rooms.. the kitchen!

Stephen & I being silly headed to the basement.. the man loved mirrors and carpet. there was carpet on the walls, ceiling and of course floors.  He obviously didn't do the vacuuming or he wouldn't have that much carpet. 

The TV room!

The pool room! The entire room is felt! (on the ceiling too!)

Jungle Room!

Vernon's office.

A model of Elvis's birth home. 

His army gear. 

The wedding gear. 

The performance gear. 

The grave. 

The badgers. 

Just a quick recap. Hope everyone had a wonderful labor day! 

I am so pumped for football season... LETS GO BULLDOGS!
