McMansion: Bama Bama Bama Woooooo

this past weekend jordan and i made a pretty extensive road trip down to a place neither of us had ever been before; auburn, alabama. the reason for the trip was to visit our sweet friend abby that jordan and i worked with this summer while at Timber Wolf Lake. my friend mollie who I did summerstaff with last year, lives next door to abby so I got to see her as well!

abby was a great host. we arrived a little after the normal hours of dinner and were welcomed with hugs and a delicious dinner! friday night was very chill, we met what seemed to be all of auburn younglife (well not really), hung out, listened to luke play the guitar and went to bed fairly early. The next day marked one of the most exhausting saturdays i have had in a while. so you see, auburn does not mess around with tailgating and football. we had so much fun at one of abby's roommates' mom's tailgate with all of our new friends. it is common to go into the game 2 hours early in addition to tailgating for three hours beforehand. after all was said and done, we had been outside for about 9 solid hours. that goes to show "go big or go home", but we loved every minute of it. oh and did i mention they sold boiled peanuts at the game. whaaaaaa? (disclaimer: boiled peanuts are my kryptonite)

the next day we went to church at cornerstone. the great message was about being gracious and giving beyond our abilities. afterward, jordan and i ate lunch and headed off to watch abby and kristyn play in their club soccer match. i took lots of pictures because i don't quite understand soccer so it gave me something to do. after the game, abby, jordan and i headed to atlanta to see another intern friend (sushi) and my great-grandparents. oh and i can't forget to mention we stopped and ate at the varsity. duh. overall it was a stellar weekend with some really great people.

here are a few pictures to document the trip:
