GEAUX Tigers and Home Sweet Home....

This past weekend was a first...  My first LSU football game!  I was beyond excited about the game, but the weather was less than ideal.... 50 degrees and rain.  

"I love to get ready with full make-up, hair, outfit and walk around in the misty rain when it's 51 degrees and windy" 
- SAID NO GIRL EVER. - But I was a trooper.  

Thank the lord for the last minute Target stop for a $9.99 hat!  Major save...  (Brad was happy - no griping/whining about the hair.)

Even during the crazy weather conditions, LSU tailgating was like nothing I have seen.  I have been to a lot of Big 12 tailgates and even The Grove at Ole Miss, but this was an experience.  The crazy outfits, the Winnebago's complete with stages and flat screens built into the sides of the campers, endless flow of drinks, food and Southern hospitality!  Such a fun experience....  We headed to a new friend and her husband's work tailgate for a couple hours and then headed into the game....

 Weather on the way to park.  Booo! 

 Brad and his best bud Mike that was in town visiting from Dallas.

 You CANNOT imagine the rows and rows of Winnebago's!  It was a complete sight.....

 This just cracks me up...

And every, I mean every camper had a stuffed animal tiger(s) laying in the front windshield, but this camper took it a step further!

 Our seats were in the south end zone on the front row.  We were so close....  Sean Payton and his adolescent girlfriend walked right beside us with an escort to the suites.  I was too slow on the pic...  DARN.  

It was so fun to see the players up close and personal - Some of those guys are HUGE!

Johnny Man!  He was much shorter than I thought... 

These Hunter rainboots were a FAB purchase a month ago!  Every girl needs a pair of these 

boots!

  I do not have any purple in my closet, so my purple Kendra Scott's came in handy too.  Three of my dearest friends gave me these during my wedding weekend for the upcoming Louisiana move....  Love them!  Thank you Brandi, Ralna and Cass.  They were perfect with my (non-committal to either team) black outfit....

Sitting down, shivering - Had to get a selfie with the Corp in the background.  They sat right behind us - right behind us.  Brad would say that in itself was another experience (or a nightmare - his words!)...  On the other hand, I liked it.  Such tradition.  

"Mike" the tiger!  He had had a long day....

 

And here I am....  So excited at 5:55 this am going home to my parent's house.  The WHOLE gang will be here by Wednesday and I am so excited - especially to get my hands on my two nephews and niece... - Knox, Briggs and Marlowe!  Complete.elation.....   

 

A snow covered Thanksgiving with some beloved Tex-Mex and the whole Hodges family and I am one happy gal!

 

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone....  We all have so much to be thankful for.

 

Love
