This weekend was WONDERFUL in every way!
Friday we went to dinner with some friends that we rarely get to hang out with. They got a babysitter for their two boys and we headed to Liberty Tap Room for dinner and drinks. It was nice to hang out with them since they live so close, but we rarely follow through!
On Saturday I worked at JTT and then we went over to some friends to watch the USC v. Florida and Clemson v. Florida State games. Clemson did not fare so well, but the Gamecocks clinched the SEC East and are now headed to Atlanta for the SEC Championship against the Auburn Tigers. The game was awesome! Besides a 99 yard touchdown run on the opening kickoff, we made Florida look silly. They were inept on offense, and Lattimore ran all over them on defense. What a great feeling to come out of the Swamp with our first victory there ever (I think this is right- correct me if I'm wrong)! The Gamecocks have certainly had us on an emotional rollercoaster this year. From a big win against Alabama, then #1, to a crappy loss to Kentucky, mediocre wins against Vandy and Tennessee, and a slaughter at the hands of the Hogs- we've run the gamut this year. Now we have a rematch against Auburn. We lost to them earlier in the year due to a 2nd half collapse at the hands of Cam Newton. My biggest hope is the NCAA finds the dirt on him and he is ineligible for our game on Dec. 4th. Sorry, Tiger fans, but a girl has to hope! So, it's on to Atlanta, and if anybody has a lead on some SEC Championship tickets that do not cost $200 a piece, please help a sister out :-)
Moving on! On Sunday I did my grocery shopping and then we went to see Morning Glory. It was so good! Harrison Ford, Rachel McAdams, and Diane Keaton were great. WEG and I both enjoyed the movie, so definitely a good date movie. Afterwards, we went to Baskin Robbins....and yes, I had ice cream on top of the popcorn and Reese's cups in the theater. So much for Weight Watchers, right?!
Such a great weekend- I hope yours was too!
You're right about it being the 1st win @ the swamp - my husband told me about that after the game :-) It really was an exciting game! At the very beginning I was like, "oh, crap - I hope this isn't what the whole game is going to be like". So glad that it turned out the way it did! My in-laws are going to the Georgia Dome and we are SO jealous, because they always get 4 tickets but we won't be able to take advantage of them (I'm guessing Chris' younger brother and his wife will snap them up, though)!
