Don't care...We Beat Bama

So late on the Thursday night before the Alabama road game, Bryan and I started packing...you know, "just in case" we decided to go. It was one of those back-and-forth-yes-and-no-should-we-shouldn't-we type of conversations that we generally happens in our home when we are trying to justify going to a big game on the road, that we hadn't planned on. On Friday morning we were still not sure what we'd do. Here is how that conversation went:

BT to me: (while I'm still asleep): So are we not going?
Me: No, we don't have tickets.
BT: I think we should.
Me: OK
BT: Maybe we shouldn't
Me: OK, wait what? Which is it?
BT: I don't know

Final verdict? We went. Left at noon, and it was only a 10 hour (one way) drive, but totally doable. We decided we'd stay in Jackson, MS (which was only about 8 hours away), then we'd be on our way home after the game.


**Side note: We've driven to Miami (26 hours one way), Kansas State and Kansas, so this was something we knew we could tackle with no problem :)**.

Since this epic win, this has been our household philosophy:

For example:
Sorry I didn't get the laundry done - don't care, we beat Bama.
Sorry I drank all your Big Red - don't care, we beat Bama.
Sorry my room isn't clean - don't care, we beat Bama.
Sorry....well you get the idea. 

 Here are a few (A LOT) pictures from our AWESOME-TOTALLY-WORTH-IT trip to BTHO Bama!

Before the game, Bryan told Carter he'd carry him the 2+ miles...doh!

Us having fun, being happy, acting silly because JFF just beat #1 Bama, and we were there! 

 

Of course, no SEC road trip is complete without a trip to Waffle House. 

Oh, and since I won't use an entire blog for this game, here are a couple of pictures from the weekend before on our PLANNED trip to Mississippi State:

The highlight of that trip was the black Aggie uniforms that were so stinkin' SWEET!

 Now that the 10-2 season, yes that's rights Ags went 10-2 thanks to "Johnny Football" Manziel, we just wait to see what bowl game we'll be in.
