War Eagle!!!!
Luke and I had a blast this past weekend with our Auburn family in AZ. I’ve tried to explain the Auburn experience for people that did not attend, but find no words do it justice. There is no other school that can compare to the Auburn family. Proof you ask….the Auburn family set records this past week with our attendance, tickets, and fans. I’ve never seen so much orange and blue in my entire life, and never been more proud to be an Auburn Tiger. Stub Hub has recorded this game as one of the hardest sporting tickets to come by EVER! Luke and I travelled without tickets since we don’t have a cool four grand to drop. On game day we were hoping to stumble on a decently priced pair of tickets, but $1300 per ticket is still more than we can afford. We ended up watching the game in the Westgate center next to the stadium with the other 30,000 fans that came without tickets. The Auburn family was truly ALL IN!
Backtracking a bit….Luke and I drove to Tucson on Friday night and met up with one of Luke’s friends David Way, from Savannah originally. David showed us a wonderful, crazy, and fun time; definitely prepping us well for the nights to come. We ended up pulling out of town Saturday morning right before the awful shootings occurred. I honestly can’t believe that it happened so close to where we were, and will be praying for the families involved.
After a quick two hours on the road, we made it into Phoenix where we wondered around getting our bearings, and enjoying all of the Auburn billboards and people.
Sunday came and went very slowly as we waited for the big game to finally arrive. I did enter a bull riding contest at our restaurant, but unfortunately didn’t win. I rode for 8 seconds the first round making it into the final round, but only lasted for 12.5 seconds compared to the winning 14 seconds from some super small girl.
Finally Monday arrived! We set up the tailgate, watched the game, celebrated the victory, and had a wonderful time with our Auburn family. I think the pictures can talk from here.

So fun! Sorry we didn't get to come by! We ended up looking for tickets until the end of the day, and finally found some! Can't wait for skiing later this month!
