Last Saturday, I got to take Abbie to her first college football game...at AUBURN!!! I wanted to take her last year, but I never got around to doing it. This year, Granddaddy got us 2 tickets for the season opener! We were so excited!! To top it off, Uncle Ben and Aunt Lane got 2 tickets as well and went with us!!! Talk about exciting! Company and HELP!!! Poor Ben...Abbie rode on his shoulders all day and night! We went to the Tiger Walk and got to see the players and Coach Tuberville up close. We were lucky enough to get to stand with the Coopers so we had a great spot! The Coopers are Jared's parents. Jared played football for Blaine here at W.S. Neal our first 2 years here. He was red-shirted by Auburn last year and is now 2nd in line at left guard (I think). Anyway, we were so excited to see one of our own in the Tiger Walk...especially someone as great as Jared!!! After that, I wanted to take Abbie to Toomer's Corner to show her the tree and get some lemonade. We saw lots of people we haven't seen in a while on the way. When we got to the stadium, Abbie was a little over-whelmed! She loved the eagle flying around the stadium. But she was quite upset that we didn't get to sit with Aunt Lane. Luckily, right before half-time, Ben and Lane found some deserted seats where we could all sit together. In the 4th quarter, we got to see Jared play!!! I was so proud and excited...you would think he was my brother or something! Anyway, we had a great time!!! We spent the night with Ben and Lane, and of course, Abbie loved that just as much as the game, I think!!!
