Hank

I can not believe I have made it this far into Football season without telling yall about Hank.

A few years ago, Jeff made a purchase that I swore would never make an appearance in my house. It is by far the scariest and ugliest thing I have every seen.

Every weekend in the fall this little creature comes out and makes an appearance.
It is loved by few and hated by many.

What is it you ask??

Meet "Hank"

A 3 foot tall, 60 lb, cast iron Hog

You might be wondering why somebody would buy this? That's a good question - Jeff brought it to represent the "Razerbacks" the University of Arkansas mascott where he went to school.

So far this massive iron Hog has not made the move over to our house. (Thank god!) It lives with Jeff's brother, Chris, but every time we go over there Jeff tries to take him back. He hasn't had any luck with trying to convense me that it goes with our decor - I don't think that will change.

Family Rivalry

This weekend is a HUGE weekend for our little family.
It is the Alabama vs. Arkansas football game!!

Roll Tide!!

This picture was taken the night we got Engaged. Jeff's mom gave us this license plate and asked "who's car is it going on?" -- Needless to say it hasn't appeared on either car.

Jeff and I won't be watching this game together. It isn't because it will be too intense, it's because I have been in Tuscaloosa recruiting for work and am heading over to our camp house "The Laughing Place" to meet up with my family. Jeff and his family are going to Fayetteville, AR to go to the game.

Happy Fall

The weather in Memphis is GREAT!!

I am sitting on my patio right now enjoying the 60 degree air, drinking my coffee, and watching Jeff play with Ellie. I can definitely tell that Fall is near.

Below are a few things that remind me of fall!!

Bar Accessories! I am one that believe a bar is one area in the house that can be really manly. Well, that and a study/library. Jayson Home and Garden has some great accessories for the bar. I just love the textures, colors, and styles of his collection.

Whisky Stones! Bourbon and Whiskey are always prevalent at our house, but especially during the fall. Something about it just warms us up and is necessary for watching football games. If you know someone who is passionate about good Bourbon like Jeff is, then they might like Whiskey stones. Jeff got some as a gift from my cousin Troupe and has loved them! They are great for chilling a drink without diluting it and changing the flavor.

Grilling! I associate fall with grilling season. Many people may disagree and say that summer is the best time to have cookouts, but it is often too hot here in Memphis to truly enjoy. No matter when you grill, there are only a few things needed to have a good time: food of choice, grill, friends, and music!! We are heading over to Jeff's brother's house this afternoon to start the football season off right with a cookout!

And of course one main aspect that always kicks off Fall is Football season!

Many of you know that I am a HUGE Alabama and SEC football fan! Tonight is the first game- ROLL TIDE and have a good weekend!!
