Are you ready for some football?

Wow you guys, I had an AMAZING weekend!! It was a great weekend for football in our house. The Seminoles won, the Bucs won, and the Gators lost... doesn't get much better than that! Joe and I had the extreme privilege of attending the Bucs game in Tampa Bay. They played the Green Bay Packers in the "Battle of the Bays".

We had amazing seats, 4 rows from the field in the Buccaneer end zone. For those not familiar with Raymond James Stadium, that is the end zone with the pirate ship. We've been to a couple of games before but they are always SO much fun. Its a total party atmosphere from the moment you park your car. People are tailgating, having a good time, the music is blasting, every one is hyped up and all there to cheer on their team. It was a hot day and at some points I felt like I was melting into my seat but it was so worth being there to watch Tampa beat Green Bay.

I've posted some pictures here for you all to enjoy:

We seriously had an amazing time. There were so many exciting and nail biting plays. There were lots of fumbles and interceptions, which aren't so great for the teams, but make for very fun, very exciting football.

It was a long, hot day and we were definitely exhausted yesterday (and still a little today) but we are so glad that we got to go. We're actually trying to put together another trip in December in honor of Joe's 30th birthday. We're going to try to get a group together to go so that we can tailgate too. I'll keep you all posted on that one.

Off the topic of football, I really wanted to thank everyone for the outpouring of support for my team on our Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. There is still time to go online and join my team to walk and there is always time to donate.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, let's push through this week and make it to Friday!! Joe and I have some very exciting plans coming up next weekend too. Stay tuned!
