Well it's Saturday in the south and that only means one thing... football! I love love love football season. There is just something about crisp air, tailgate snacks and football on the tv. I think it reminds me of my childhood. When I was little, we went to most games, but if we didn't, we were for sure having friends over to watch the game. Now, I grew up a OK State fan.. and yes I still love the pokes, but over the past several years, I have come to cheer for the Razorbacks! Both my parents went to OSU, my mom grew up in Stillwater and my grandparents still live there and work for OSU. So needless to say- we are in Stillwater a lot and I will always been a OSU fan.
When I met my husband, 7 years ago, he told me if we stayed together, I would become and Razorback fan and well, he was right. We were together 3 years before we got engaged and during those three years, he took me to multiple razorback sporting events and I spent most of my time in the summers in AR visiting him and his family. So to say I got a lot of razorback exposure while we were dating would be an understatement. So by then, I liked the Hogs, but it really started when we moved there. I challenge any of y'all to live in NWA and not become a dedicated razorback fan. I am going to say it's close to impossible. The razorback fever is contagious! And then I got a job at the U of A and that was the end... I had become a true razorback fan.. and I love it! Since we didn't go to a big college, this is our team we cheer for on Saturdays!
Now, I will always love the Cowboys. We still go to many games and love watching the pokes, but I do like having another team that both my husband and I love together.
Since football has started.. I have decided it is fall. Now I know it is not fall and we still have a few weeks, but a girl can dream (this weather is not helping though :). So this morning, we went to Starbucks and I got my all time favorite drink-iced pumpkin spice latte.
Even though it it over 100 degrees today, I had my coffee and just had to pretend it was fall. We also went to the farmers market and I got mums for our front porch. Nothing screams fall like bright yellow mums!
Now we are making snacks, grilling out and flipping back and forth between the hogs and cowboys game. Pretty nice saturday if you ask me. Oh, and I finally get to represent my new woo pig sooie tank!
