auburn's snow day

so school was closed monday and tuesday due to all the ice that we received from the recent winter storm. this winter storm really came at a perfect time for us folks here in auburn. why? because, monday just so happened to be this little thing called the bcs national championship game! i have to tell you that on two separate occasions over christmas break, i had people ask me if auburn was playing in a bowl game. seriously, people? maybe it's just because i live in auburn, that i grew up in the sec {what-what}, that most of my family are auburn fans {putting it lightly} or that i honestly enjoy football, that makes it hard for me to imagine ever not knowing who is going to the national championship. with all that said, i don't think there was anyone in auburn town who wasn't glued to their tv monday night. the week leading up to the game was awesome. spirit was high and there was a definite buzz that filled the air. the k-roger even busted out their traditional game day tunes the weekend before the game. businesses closed and all over town the marquees {yes, i had to look up how to spell that} had funny sayings on them relating to the game. because i had the day off, i was able to prepare for our auburn party all day! i had a blast decorating and baking.

the game watching was awesome. lots of great commentary and of course some yelling and cheering. it was so surreal when the fourth quarter started. this entire season had led up to this point. and we were holding our breath that auburn wouldn't blow it in the last few minutes.

after auburn kicked the winning field goal and we listened to the extremely well spoken football players accept the trophy {wink}, we grabbed all the toilet paper we could carry and headed downtown to roll toomer's corner!

a little crowded

what a beautiful snow day!
