Arizona

We are back! Trying to get back in the swing of things, and spending all my extra time with Libby. Reason why the blog has been neglected! This trip was the longest I've gone without Libby. I was pretty sad when we left, but got the hang of being sans child for a few days. We left Atlanta Friday night putting us in Phoenix way past my bedtime. We were so glad to be there though after a 4 hour plane ride.

Saturday we woke up to beautiful blue skies! {These pictures were taken through the window while we were driving- reason why there kind of blurry.)

We headed out to Sedona late Saturday morning. The drive was beautiful!

Nolen felt that it was needed to lead the road full of Auburn fans with a big WAR EAGLE!

We drove through Sedona. Very pretty! 

We ended up going on the Flagstaff too. The desert quickly turned into snowy grounds the further north we went.

I am scared to death of heights... reason why I'm practically sitting on Nolen.

After being on the rode all day we went back to the hotel and freshened up for dinner. We ate in Scottsdale {where everything was going on}. 

After dinner we went to the field that was set up for Oregon and Auburn fans in town. There was a band, bar and tents with way over priced memorabilia.   I noticed a BCS pull over jacket thing was $100. No way!

Sunday Nolen and Mr. Tom had a early wake up call for golf. Mrs. Beth and I hung out with Amy and Lewis {Nolen's aunt and uncle}. We ate lunch then went to Scottsdale where all the action was.

There were so many Auburn fans out there! The pep rally was so much fun. Got everyone pumped up! Mr. Tom and Nolen weren't able to make it to the pep rally because of golf, so we met them at a Italian restaurant after the pep rally for drinks.

 We went out to dinner with Amy and Lewis Sunday night. The restaurant served DUCK, so we thought it would be funny to order some. Ended up that they sold out of duck! Hilarious, right? Our waiter made special arrangements and was able to get us some duck for an appetizer.

* Mrs. Beth has some hilarious pictures we took with the duck. Coming soon!

After dinner we went back to Scottsdale.  Nolen and his Dad played a little football, then a Oregon fan jumped in with them and Nolen dominated!

On Monday we headed to Glendale for the BIG game. It was packed with Oregon and Auburn football fans.

After running into some friends we went and hung out at Margaritaville...

Mr. Tom and Lewis

Then we went to gate 3 where Tiger Walk was supposed to be, but it was so crowded they had to cancel.

After waiting in the longest line of people we finally got in the stadium. 

There were definitely more Auburn fans...

We were so nervous and anxious during the whole game. I nearly had a heart attack when Oregon scored at the end of the game. But thank goodness for Wes Byrum for kicking the winning field goal! What a special moment for him!

National Champs and it feels so good!!

We had an absolute blast in Arizona! So many fun memories were made. 

I am so proud of my school and town!

WAR EAGLE!!
