Weekend Recap

I'm now sure why but for some reason it hasn't really felt like football season is imminent around here to me.  It could have something to do with the crazy humid summer weather right now, which is typical for this time of year.  Eric's been at practice every day like normal, but before this past weekend for whatever reason it had not hit me yet.

After the weekend we just had...I am ready!  I mentioned Friday that we were having a cookout/cooking contest with all of the football coaches and their families like we've done the past couple of years and this year's event far exceeded the previous years' events. We had a house/carport/yard/pool full of folks having a blast!  As for the BBQ Rib Contest and the Potato Salad Contest, Eric and I both came in 2nd, which is just fine with us. We are so fortunate to have a group of coaches and their families who all gel together so well.  I am pretty sure all of the wives and kids enjoy being around each other as much as the coaches do.  It's like our own little football family.  I completely failed at snapping pictures because we were having so much fun, but I did grab a couple.

Aside from the company, the next best part of the night was the music.  The gentleman with the guitar in the picture above is the extremely talented Kevin Adair.  He is a local musician who plays around the Auburn area, and he is great! This was my second time to hear him play live, and it won't be the last.  You can find his music here.  The gentleman on the drums is one of the coaches.  He brought his drums over and the two of them who met that evening, played all night long.  It was a treat for all of us because none of the other coaches had ever heard him play!

It was a wonderful night with some really awesome people and I can finally say that I am ready for football season to start!  Although I don't really have a choice in that matter. =)
