Yesterday the rains came in. Lots of rain. Black clouds over head. I was driving through the middle of it. Zero visibility around 6 o'clock, the roads super slushy, and cars driving home from work, and out to church, all moving at a snail pace. I cant even see the lines on the road, and find I'm weaving into both lanes. I realize, "This is Idiot Weather." Idiot. Why am I continuing on this journey, driven to my destination. I realized I was fighting through the biggest storm of the season, just above my head. I kept going.

Because the car in front of me was still going. Their brake lights my guide. Even when I felt that urge to merge off to the side, I kept going. My rear view mirror reflecting the cars behind me. They were depending on my lights to guide them through this storm too. That kept me going.

I don't always post music, country music at that! But this one was just playing on Pandora, and it was a moment. "Stand"

Cause when push comes to shove, You taste what you're made of, You might bend till you break, Cause it's all you can take, On your knees, you look up, Decide you've had enough, You get mad, you get strong, Wipe your hands, shake it off, Then you stand.... Everytime you get up, And get back in the race, One more small piece of you, Starts to fall into place.

Each Saturday in the fall, Keith sports his"Alabama" shirt and I sport my "Auburn" shirt. When we go out to a store, or the restaurants holding hands, we do get a few good laughs! But we support each other in our beliefs. So two years ago I rounded up tickets and took him to his first Alabama game. And this past summer I made myclaim and said, "this is my year for an Auburn game! I believe its time!" ~~ Little did I know what a great time it would be to go see Auburn play. On two different weekends, we had free tickets dropped in our hands to go see the big Orange and Blue play. And Keith was super supportive!

The first game we went to was an evening game - Auburn vs. South Carolina on Sept. 25th. Mom called me that morning and said, "How would you like to go to the Auburn game tonight!" (FREE! from Grandma's physical therapist who dropped them off at her house that morning - Thank you Nurse PT, and Thank you Jesus!) It's been several years since I've been over to Auburn, and it was Keith's first trip - so we had no clue on where to park. We arrived about an hour early , and drove around for 45 minutes! Fifteen minutes to kickoff we finally snagged a spot in front one of the dorms, the sun had just set and the streets were all quiet because everyone was in the stadium!

We started walking, and kept on walking! Our seats - were way up in the new section at the top of the stadium. We finally arrived in those sweet free seats during the start of the second quarter! Oh yea, I was huffing and puffing up the stairs and ramps. LOL. But it was worth it. The intoxicated guys behind us made it fun for as well taking the photos for us and cheering randomly for the new sophmore player "Lutzenkirtchen" the whole time. "Lutzenkirtcehn" actually made the winning touchdown for his first TD with the Tigers, so we all busted out laughing and every time Keith and I hear "Lutzenkirtchen" - we have to repeat it like those hilarious guy behind us that night -- I love sharing inside joke moments with my hubby.

Here we are that night...

But then the next weekend we got another call from a good friend with tickets to the Auburn vs. Lousiana Monroe mid morning game in Auburn. More fun times @ Jordan Hare Stadium. Again, Keith was a major awesome husband to go and support me. I made sure he had lots of coke and boiled peanuts to keep him happy! :)

More good times with Keith and a few of our friends who love SEC football as much as he does...

Enjoying our great front row seats at Auburn!

{Thank you my sweet husband for making my heart happy this fall

"Lutzenkirtchen, Lutzenkirtchen - Whoo!"
