10 things i loved about this weekend.

1. I loved the homecoming displays.
Fraternities and Sororities are paired together to make what I called "non-moving floats." They have been working on their chicken wire/tissue paper creations all week and it has been neat to drive by and see them coming together! They were REALLY good and you would never guess they were make out of tissue paper!

2. I loved spending time with family.
Reed's brother Woody (Uncle Awesome) and his wife Jessie came to see us this weekend for the first time in Clemson. CC and Pop were here, too, and we had a great time!!!


3. I love that I am almost 6 feet tall and my husband makes me look short.
4. I love my two (and a half) boys.
5. I love that EVERYONE in Clemson wears ORANGE all. the. time.
....but that doesn't mean I am going to do it. I have realized that orange is just not my color AND I firmly believe that no pregnant woman should EVER wear orange, especially in OCTOBER!So I reverted back to my majorette days and decided that a festive TIGER PAW on our cheeks would have to do!
6. I love when Smith says, "Go Tigers!"
7. I love that we can walk to the football games from our house!

8. I love pre-game.
I am so impressed with Clemson's pregame. Besides all the excitment about the game, Howard's Rock, and running down the hill, they say THE PLEDGE, sing GOD BLESS AMERICA, sing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, sing the CLEMSON ALMA MATER, and PRAY!!! It's GREAT!
9. I love Homecoming "Mississippi Style" much better.
Their version of homecoming was a tractor pulling a float with 5 girls on it...the Queen and her court. What happened to big poofy white dresses and being escorted by your daddy?

10. I loved watching Smith play with Uncle Awesome.
Woody and Jessie don't have any kids yet, but they will be ready when the time comes! Smith wore them out! I'm not sure if Woody or Smith had more fun but they BOTH had a blast!
We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed our company!
Come back and see us again, soon!

I love your post! So cute and looks like you guys had a great weekend. I was just telling Bert on Saturday that I wish I could see Clemson with "fresh" eyes to see what I would think. You just gave me the "fresh" eyes and I loved your point of few. We will have to work on that orange thing, especially if you are going to be all in! ;)

Reed,

It's Trey, Caroline, Mary Caroline, Attison and Colson. Wow, I didn't realize what a mouthful that was! I see you are adjusting well to Clemson life. I am proud of you and Caroline and I miss you and your family in MS. We hope to see you soon. I check the Clemson score every weekend, and i am proud of your "upset" this weekend! Keep up the good work. As you know, we don't get up there, EVER, but give me a shout next time you are in the area. I would love to catch up. Cell is the same--email has changed with the new firm I just started in Madison, so call me so we can catch up. Miss you and the minivan and days of Josh trying to run a 60 second 400 at midnight up at big ole CA!!!
