Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 9

I missed out on posting this yesterday, so I'm posting it a little late :)


Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge

Day Nine
Favorite Football Pastimes


Football has always been about rivalry, even before I got married.
My mom, my sister, and I are big Clemson fans.
While my dad is a South Carolina fan.

Now that I'm married, my husband is also a South Carolina fan.
I think my dad really enjoys having someone on his side now to talk about it with :)

When Clemson and South Carolina have played each other in the past, my family and I have gone to eat at Wild Wings to watch the game.
Last year though we grilled steaks and watched the game at my parent's house.
This year my husband and I usually grill steaks every Saturday when our teams play.
I don't know why, we just do :)


I have been to a couple of Clemson games at Death Valley before.
My uncle had season passes to the games and a tailgating spot, and I really enjoyed the tailgating!
I wish I lived close enough to Clemson because if I did I would definitely enjoy tailgating on Saturdays!

One big part of my football watching includes dressing up all my furbabes!
What else is new, right?!

Here is a picture of Chris and me wearing our rivalry t-shirts with my parent's dog all decked out!


I don't have t-shirts for Youri or D'Artagnan so for last week's game, I tied a purple ribbon around their necks to get them in the spirit!





What are some of your favorite football pastimes?

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday y'all!

Here's what I'm thankful for today.


I'm not going to lie to you.
Lately I've been having a hard time.
As many of you remember from this post, I have a problem with depression and anxiety.
And since making a tough decision to go off my medicine for health reasons,
it has recently gotten worse.

Lately I've been feeling like I'm drowning.
And I look up,
and everyone is staring down at me watching me sink.
And life keeps on throwing buckets of water on top.
And it seems like I'll never get out.

It's hard for me to think about what I'm thankful for when my life gets in ruts like this.
I've had to remember lately
that it doesn't matter if I'm thankful for 50 awesome things going on in my life right now
or just thankful for the basic things that I'm blessed to have.
As long as I'm thankful.

So today,
I'm thankful for the gift of today.
It's a simple as that.


What are you thankful for today?

Day Eight
Fall Travel/Road Trips

I've never really done any serious Fall travel.
Ever since I started kindergarden I've been in school during the Fall.
Which means I haven't really had the time for Fall trips.

This year though I hope to take a little mini trip one weekend up to NC.
Since I live on the border between SC and NC this isn't what I'd call a road trip :)
But I really want to go pick apples and see the pretty leaves in the mountains!
