Football is finally here!!!! Part 1

Football season is finally here! I have been waiting for it all year and it is now that time again! I love the fall weather, tailgating, watching Auburn play, spending time with family and friends and eating delicious food!

AU vs Utah State

We played Utah State the first game of the year. We ended up winning 42-38 in the last seconds of the game, it was crazy! Our friends Scott and Emma Kate came down from NC to visit and stayed in the RV with us. Emma Kate had never been to a game before so we spent a lot of the day showing her around the campus and of course had her roll Toomer's Corner after we won the game.

AU vs Miss. State

We played Mississippi State the second game of the year. This was our first SEC game. Once again, we won in the last seconds of the game when we stopped Miss. State on the 1 yard line TWICE! We ended up winning 41-34. SO that makes us 1-0 in the SEC!!! Both games were really close and practically gave me a heart attack but I'm so glad we pulled it out.

My best friend Leigh Anna and her fiance Bagby came down for the game. It was so nice to see them because it had been a while. We also got to hang out with another one of my good friends, Emily and her boyfriend Chris. We all have a great time when we are together!

I made Fruit Salsa for one of our appetizers. This was the second time I made it and both times it was a hit! It's a quick and easy recipe and tastes great with cinnamon sugar pita chips. You can make your own pita chips but I prefer to buy mine because they are stiffer and hold the fruit salsa better.
