WAR EAGLE!!!!
A view from the airplane flying in to AZ.
Sunday- headed to Scottsdale for the Pep Rally and to walk around the town. It was such a quaint place with shops and restaurants. We loved it! The Pep Rally was so crowded and they actually quit letting people into the gate!
The Plumlees with my Parents
Sarah and I
Me with my parents
My mom with a dear friend to us Mrs. Suzanne
Max and I at the Pep Rally
After the Pep Rally we ate at this place and while the wait was long and we were here for hours, it was SO MUCH FUN. I felt like I was back at Auburn and the Sigma nu house running into so many people we went to college with. Its just crazy to see people you have not seen since you were at Auburn.
GAME DAY~ The Ferrell sisters were ready and on time!!Don`t ask where my jersey is......I`m pregnant and its just not my style!!
The Stadium
Em and mom in our parking lot, we did our own tailgating for a bit and then walked around
I did NOT stand in line for this, but my mom did and I was going to take their picture and she kept insisting that I get in and made such a big deal, so here we are with the Heisman trophy!
Allison and I ate lunch Monday at Margaritaville. We were starving and the lines were so long everywhere. We were in line and they asked for 2 Auburn people to sit with some other Auburn fans and we were so excited and said yes we will! Well, it was the most interesting meal of my life......these 3 Auburn fans had been sitting at the same table since 9 am and it was 1 when we joined them and lets just say they had way to many fruity drinks. It was hilarious and they proceeded to lead cheers from our table and all 200 people in the place would join in. This one man would point to my stomach and say"That sure is something special in there", "That's gonna be a Championship Baby"! He also asked if he could touch my stomach for good luck.....I said no and he came up with some great baby names too......Jordan, Fairley Elizabeth, Camilla, Cammie, Jeanie after the coach and the list goes on. Allison and are I still laughing and we love the fact that the let us join them for lunch. forgot to mention, the waiter cut them off while we were sitting there.....i just hope the made it to the stadium!

Mary and I with Pat Dye, she has a much better picture I need to get.Pat Dye needs security. eh was mobbed by the Auburn fans. Emily spotted him a few feet from us walking by himself at the moment and with in seconds he had people swarmed around him. He was great though and just kept smiling and saying War Eagle. We love Pat Dye!!
The Toss
The Band before the game
This was Beautiful and the Eagle was flying during this. It was very touching and emotional to some like me (or maybe it has something to do with the pregnancy hormones, but I did manage to lose it at the airport watching a family get reunited and before the game they reunited some military men with their families and I lost it) It was awesome they had an Eagle fly!!
The Tigers running out!
At the game
WE ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!

It was the best feeling to WIN! The game was so intense, especially towards the end! We had a great view and once again sat near so many people we knew from home or Auburn!
So proud of our Tigers!!

We had the BEST trip ever , but I was so glad to get home to these cuties!! A big thank you to Janie and Pop who kept them while we were gone. So many people got delayed and stranded for days out there, including my sister. Luckily, we were only held up a bit in Charlotte. We never imagined you might not get back home after being in sunny, 65 degree weather. I do not like the cold weather!!
These girls were all waiting on me too..........I sure didn't miss taking care of all 6 of them! :)
These girls were all waiting on me too..........I sure didn't miss taking care of all 6 of them! :)It was the most amazing, incredible,experince/gameI have ever been too! Words just cannot describe what is what like to be inside that stadium with the Auburn family and bring home a National Championship!! Another big thanks to my parents who took all us out there. We have not been on a adult family trip in years. We made a lot of funny memories and so glad we were part of the big win!! I am still exhausted from the trip and as I type this my mom was just on the local news here today getting her picture made with the BCS Trophy. Those of you who know my mom knows she bleeds orange and blue. She was crying after the game!!
WAR EAGLE!!
What a great re-cap! Loved all the pictures and I'd have given anything to be sitting by your mom during this game! War Eagle!
ReplyDeleteTheresa and Donny are 2 peas in a pod. Taylor called me late the friday night before they were leaving to head out there to tell me to be thankful I wasn't there because the trip had not even started and Donny was already crying saying how excited he was to take them on a trip like this and how he wishes he could have done this with his daddy! War Eagle!! And Fairley Elizabeth what a great name! That is hillarious!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pics!! WAR EAGLE!!
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle! What a great experience. As many people as we ran into I can't believe we didn't run into each other. I cried when they reunited the military families too. That was so cool. And I cried again in the airport on the way home when I saw all of the troops on their way out to Iraq.
