50 Free Holiday Cards from Shutterfly

Thanksgiving is next week and that means Christmas is right around the corner (yay!!!) So, that also means time for Christmas cards.

Last year our Christmas card was planned the year before--we had written "Merry Christmas" in the beach on our honeymoon and it was our primary picture. However, this year, not so planned out...not even sure what it will be yet.

I am planning on ordering from Shutterfly this year, as they are giving away 50 free cards to bloggers. Go here to check it out.

Here are a few I like....Faith, Hope, Love, Peppermint Bliss, Berry Merry Christmas...that's only a few of the great choices. Who knows what I'll end up picking??

Trip to Fayetteville

A couple weekends ago Bailey, his dad, Katie (Bedford's girlfriend), and I all made a trip to Fayetteville for the Ole Miss game. Although the outcome of the game wasn't what we hoped for, the trip was enjoyable.

We left Friday and drove to Dardanelle (with a quick stop in Conway--my grad-school stomping ground) to stay with Grandma and Papa Dean (Bailey's grandparents). We sat around and visited for most of the evening but got out for a quick tour around town and to see the Dardanelle Sand Lizards game. As Bailey and his dad finished the tour, we came upon this sign.....

They are clearly excited about this new ice--that's small town life for you. I wish I would have been as camera-ready as I was last year on our trip to Auburn.

We got up early Saturday morning to make the two hour drive to Fayetteville. 

Once we got to Fayetteville, we tailgated a little bit and walked around campus before heading to the game.

Before heading to the stadium.

Tusk III's ride

Meet Tusk III, the ugly Arkansas mascot.

Can you tell they like the Razorbacks?

On a side note: Arkansas may be my least favorite SEC team, or any team, period. Why? EVERYONE in Arkansas is a Razorback fan....or so it appears. Arkansas is their primary state university, as opposed to Mississippi, we have Ole Miss, State, and Southern.....So, everyone is a Hog fan and as a result that ugly thing is everywhere. I truly grew to dislike looking at this thing while living in Conway.

Here are a few pictures from the game.....

Bedford working really hard

The crowd evacuating the stadium for the first weather delay which lasted almost an hour.

Our section evacuating the stadium.

The rain/hail that was coming down

Everyone had to evacuate to the "concourse" or had the option to leave the stadium completely. It was a bit crowded.

The nasty water coming down from the bleachers.

And we're back in action, but only temporarily before we have to evacuate for another delay which was only about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately the game did not turn out in our favor, but we enjoyed spending time with family and the trip in general.
