butterflies.

butterflies in my belly.

i'm literally like a small child on christmas eve. like a girl - or guy - on a first date with a major crush. like those few days before a much needed vacation. that last day of class before graduation. those moments right before you say i do. yes. these butterflies are that serious. except, these butterflies are ORANGE!!!!

IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

i have some great memories from cheering on my Vols over the years!

what day is it, niki? GAME DAY!

my college neighbor Springer and i - love you, girl!

Neyland Stadium. ahhhh-wesome!

last night was the official start of the college football season. i watched as USC barely squeaked out a victory over NCSt. am i a USC or NCSt. fan? nope. but, i am a college football and SEC fan! football is here! you know what else i love about college football? ESPN GAME DAY!

although jwood and i will not be going to the opening UT game this weekend, you better bet your last dollar that i will be in front of the television at 11:00 am sharp while we are visiting family in arkansas! i cannot wait to see those boys fully doused in orange run through the Power T! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

we do not have any plans to go to big orange country for a game this year but, we are going to The Grove for the UT at Ole Miss game in November! i'm stoked!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK, POPS!

AND, to start the beginning of a great weekend, i had my first pumpkin spice latte on an early morning breakfast coffee date with my mister this morning.
