That Dear Old G!

We decided to take in a JV football game with the kids, so they could see Uncle Matt and/or dad in action. It was a perfect day, warm, but not hot, with a beautiful breeze. The kids had fun playing in the bleachers.



Audrey and I went to the Varsity game and it was so funny because the guy sitting behind me said ' That is the coolest purse ever'. If you don't know already, I will tell you that the high school where Matt works has the exact same G symbol as The University of Georgia. The same colors-red and black. So, the person behind me thought I had a purse that was representing the high school. Not so. When we went to Georgia on our last trip, I was in need of a new purse and saw this one for $10, so I bought it. I am an alumnus, so I guess I was trying to show a little bit of pride. It is just so misunderstood out here. For further proof check out the new uniforms for the football team. They got new helmets this year and Matt was really excited because they were just like Georgias. Anyway, it was really fun to see Matt in action on the sidelines, even if the Georgia G was everywhere. I guess I am just going to have to get used to it and accept it. It takes time :)
p.s. who is pumped to see the opening game of the season tomorrow?!!

How fun! I love going to football games. And what it is with kids and bleachers? I guess just one more thing to climb on?

Mary Ann, that must have been so fun! There is nothing like watching a football game in the late summer/early fall. There is so much positive, pumped-up energy in the and anticipation, mingle with the smell of hot dogs and burgers and grass.

Very cute purse by the way!

I will make note that the G is for Georgia and not a local foot ball team!
