Where have I been.....

When I decided to start blogging I wanted to make sure it would'nt be something i start and then don't ever get around to keeping up with it. I love when friends that live hours from me are up to date on my life by reading my blog. For instance when i was out of town last weekend one of my friends said "so are you off hold yet"...meaning are you and The Man trying to have a baby yet? It makes me smile...so i am sorry that i have been MIA.... I feel like i had more time to blog when i worked night shift, which is crazy because i felt like all i did was sleep during the day for those 3 years. But i will have to say i have been pretty busy with little trips planning my sisters wedding and razorback football games.


My sister, Mom, my sister's future MIL and I went to Florida for a weekend wedding planning trip. We had a wonderful time and got a lot done. EXCEPT lying on the beach... but i will get over it...hopefully will be able to have everything planned enough that we can relax on the beach the wedding weekend! I did get to put my feet in but didn't not put my swimsuit on once.

All four of us out to dinner one night. We did a lot of eating so we could decide where the rehearsal dinner would be.

This picture is outside the venue Ash picked for the wedding and reception. We got to meet with the wedding planner, florist, baker, and photographer!

We had a lot of tasting on this trip... I am a huge fan of the bakerman....but this lady in Florida can make some wonderful cakes!

It was a long day of planning. We love florida but didn't want to make too many trips back and forth.....so we got to business. Mom and I look a little tired.

We had a little break and then went to the food tasting for the reception. OMG.... It was great... I can't wait until the wedding just so i can EAT! Of course Florida has some great food because all the fresh seafood but everything they gave us to taste was great. But still wasn't hard to pick our favorites for the reception.

After getting home from Florida i had to go straight to work the next 3 days then on another road trip to Fayetteville for the Ark vs Auburn game. AS ALWAYS...we enjoy our busy weekend visiting everyone... A few of our friends are expecting babies soon...it was soo nice to see all of them. Some showing and some not so much! It is always such a busy weekend so ofcourse we didn't get to see everyone but sadly that is how it is going to be i guess from now on...

The Man and I tailgating before the game

Me and one of my best friends.... One of the expecting mommies... her belly was still little..i can't wait until she is showing big time :) SOO CUTE!!

Me and Sweet Madison... oh how i wish we lived closer

MyGod sister in law and bestie Kelsi came to find me after the game but only for a short bit! But I was still so excited to see her!

Some of my favorite guys! Needless to say anytime they all get together you know its going to be a good time.

Well hopefully I will be better about blogging.... I feel like i have left ya'll out of a lot lately :)

Sugar bowl fun....

Its about time...huh?


I didn't realize i still haven't posted about our New Orleans trip for the sugar bowl. We had such a great time. Since we don't live too far from New Orleans we decided to drive and not fly. It is not a bad drive at all. I told the Sweet Man, we should do this trip more often. We go to New Orleans at least once a year b/c my SIL is from there and her family still lives there so its an easy trip to see my brother, sil, and nephew.


Tuesday morning we picked of our friends, Rhys and Jessica, from the airport. Most of our friends all got here the Sunday before. There was a big group of us and so fun to see everyone.

The Sweet Man and I at brunch!

The weather was perfect. Like mid 60's.

Crazy how hog fans all get together at the same place even in New Orleans. The Fayetteville radio station was there also. Everyone just kept showing up, it was like we were all in the pit in Fayetteville tailgating.

a few of the guys
And the girls...

On Bourbon Street
I am not a huge fan of Bourbon St. I don't love soo many people in one place where you can't just walk down a street. At times, yes, i do get distracted so I will get lost from my group. The Sweet Man would keep saying Jenni we aren't behind you. Ooops!
Also when we go with my brother and SIL we don't do the Bourbon st thing. Just tourists. I have seen so much more of New Orleans than Bourbon and if you only see Bourbon you are missing out. But that is were most people were and wanting to go so I just sucked it up and did what majority of the group wanted to do.

I do love these people. When you can't tell if they are real or not. Obviously he was real standing in the middle of the road but others it is difficult to tell.

Every football game there are few people that i ALWAYS hang out with. Many weren't able to make it to New Orleans. But I did get to spend the day with Jordan. I was really worried about not seeing Mary Kate since we were hanging out at different places. But then look who we got to hang out with right before the game.... MK!!!!

Even though we didn't win we had such a good time in New Orleans with friends. We will never be able to get these days back (life without everyone having children), so we are trying to enjoy every bit of it!

Fayetteville.....

This past weekend we went to Fayetteville for the Ark vs Ole Miss game. We celebrated Scarlet's Birthday too. So we all went to Pat Green concert. This pictures makes me laugh!

PAT GREEN

At the Football game before the rain started and the game was postponed twice! The game was early, so some friends decided we would be at breakfast at 8am. What were we thinking

Waiting while the game was postponed the first time. People were everywhere!

I CAN'T WAIT.....

I know I have not been a very good blogger these days. I keep up with the blog i read but just haven't given my blog any attention... Sorry!

Well i am so excited about this weekend. The Sweet Man and I are heading to Fayetteville on Friday! We have a full weekend of fun! Always happens when are visit Fayetteville. But this time i think we will be able to see all of our favorite friends! Including the GIRLS!!!...
For some reason i love this pictures of all of us. Katie didn't make in this photo.. hard to find one with all of us! We always have such a great time when we are all together.. .and we hopefully will be this weekend! As soon as I get intown i want to do a little shopping and then we will go out to eat to celebrate one of my very best friends BIRTHDAYS!!!

HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY SCARLET celebration is going to be great!

This is Scarlet and me last summer... always taking crazy pictures... always have fun!
After dinner we are going to go see.......

PAT GREEN!

I used to be a huge fan of his when he was more Texas Country type. But it will still be a great show. Then after that i will meet up with The Sweet Man for some great fun with him and all his friends!!! Many exciting things taking place!

THEN... early Saturday morning i will be up getting ready for...... (actually 2 days, 11 hours, and 11 minutes... until the game! No, i don't know this off hand i went to this website and saw it!)

The Razorback vs Ole Miss game!!! This is always a fun one for me, for many reason.

1. A good game is always fun...wish i wasn't at 11:30 but whatev

2. Vs. OLE MISS... major game... we have always kind of been rivals, but ever since Houston Nutt (Ark old Football coach) went to Coach at Ole Miss. It is a major game to win!!!

3. My sister in law went to school at Ole Miss!

I love Razorback football games. There is just something about it. If you haven't experienced it i think you should put it on your life list!!! I hope to have many pictures to post after this weekend. Also, i have been very busy planning a few things. Sunday when we get back we are having a going away party for a dear friend moving to Denver. Then the next Saturday is the big Halloween Party at our house! I have been wanting to blog about that but then the decor and food won't be a surprise!!! The Sweet MAn and my costumes came in yesterday!!! soo excited!

Football FUN....

Mann.... How about those HOGS! Yes, I know we didn't win but we played a great game. We always mess those certain play up. 24/20 to the #1 team in the country isn't too bad. And they didn't do anything really until the last quarter. How amazing it would have been if we would have won. But we are still proud of those Hogs. And i loved getting to visit all my favorite people, minus a few that i didn't get to see. Football weekends or always crazy busy weekends!



At common grounds for brunch before the game. So glad I got to see this lovely face! Miss you so much! Trip to Nashville has got to be in the works soon!

me and Jordan

In all my years as a college student at the U of A, I never saw the bus with the band, Cheerleaders and Tusk I, II, or III. Unit now!

I also never stood in line like this as a student. This is crazy. We heard on the news or TV that on Thursday night there were 30-40 tents up with people camping out.

As a student at UofA, for those that don't know, you can buy tickets to all the games for a $1 game, that was the cost when i was there. The good seats are first come basis. I was always in the upper deck since i didn't get in line early. Then we thankfully got season tickets!

My besties at my "favorite tailgate." I stopped by to see MK and then Scarlet and Caitlin walked up. Then not 10 min later Jordan and her sister were there. Like I said. Somehow we all just meet up at this tailgate to see the family!

Me, Mary Kate, Caitlin, Scarlet

My first time to meet Sweet baby Alex. His parent are good friend of mine and the Sweet Man but live about 3 hrs from us!

I want one!!!

The Sweet Man and me
(After soonone spilled there drink all over him, me and sweet alex's head)

Look at all that Red! We played a really good game. Just wish it could have ended better!

This was the kid in front of us! Loved it!

Oh how I miss Fayetteville! We had such a great weekend. A very fast one but it was a lot of fun. Early games are hard b/c you don't have time to hang out too long before the game and then after the game everyone is so tired and everywhere is sooo busy.

Ready for the next one!

WOO PIG....

I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.... Football, Friends, and Tailgating FUN!

This is the time of year that i miss Fayetteville the most. Although The Sweet Man and I try to make it to Fayetteville for all the big games, its just sad not to be there for all of them. Only 2 more days until we are back in Fayetteville with all of our friends to cheer on the HOGS! Something about college towns and football.... BIG DEAL~ but i feel Arkansas it is even more . Maybe b/c UofA is the only major college in Arkansas.

I was looking back at old pictures and had to share fun tailgating pics. Hope you enjoy. Hopefully will have new ones to post when we get back in town!

Our friends had us a tailgate shower last year. It was actually the weekend before our wedding. I might have been a little stressed! But was so fun....and so thoughtful!

My girls at the tailgate/shower!
This is my most favorite family to tailgate with. Most of my college years were spent at this tailgate, and will still always have to stop by. I hope one day i will bring my little ones to this tailgate with me. Oh.... how I love this family.
At the same favorite tailgate as above... at a different time.. maybe even different year.

Pretty sure this is at the same favorite tailgate too. We seem to always all meet up here!

Many of both, mine and The Sweet Man's, friends have moved off but we all seem to come back together during this time. It is always a blast. Can't wait....
