2011 Football Season Week 10

This was a very special football week. We took the RV out of Auburn & headed down to my college town of Troy, AL. How I ended up at Troy, is a true testament to God's plan sometimes being different from what we plan. My whole life, I planned on attending the University of Alabama. That is where all of my family had graduated from and I grew up loving that school. I was accepted & ready to go. Then, at the last minute, I did something that would make any parent cringe and I changed my mind to go to a college to follow my high-school boyfriend. Surprisingly (HA!), we broke up after the first few weeks of school & I was heart-broken. Due to scheduling conflicts, I couldn't transfer from Troy to Alabama mid-year, so I decided I'd wait until the end of the year. After weeping uncontrollably for several weeks over my broken heart, I decided I might as well venture out & meet some of the sisters in the sorority that I had pledged. As they say, the rest is history. During that freshman year that I thought I would be so miserable, I met the most amazing group of girls that would become my best friends. By the end of the year, I decided that Troy was not so bad. In fact, it was absolutely perfect. And each year, I met more friends, had more fun, and made more memories. I see these girls often (but not often enough!), but rarely is it in Troy. So it is always fun when we can make it down for a game. The last game we went to was when Robbie & I were engaged, so it's been a long time coming! And the weekend did not disappoint.


We got to use our Troy flag!


Maybe not as big as our normal Auburn tailgate, but just as special
