A Gator Girl in Bulldog Country

I know my Gator girls have a tough time seeing me in RED & BLACK....
Is it possible to truly LOVE thy enemy? I thinkith so! ; )

Over Easter weekend we stayed in Athens with Jake's grandmother, Nana. She's so sweet! We went to G-Day in Athens on Saturday with Jake's sister, Kate and his Dad. It was a blast watching him play flag football with his fellow Georgia Lettermen. We got to take a few pics with Uga...he's precious....but Bailey is still my #1 canine!
On Sunday we went to the Masters. Its a family tradition I've been able to share with Jake for the past three years. We're so grateful that his grandmother, Cici, is kind enough to share her passes with us!
Making these kinds of memories together is such a blessing! : )

KitchenAid Mixer Date Night

We FINALLY got our mixer out of its dusty little box for our date-night on Friday!

We had a blast making a pound cake, recipe courtesy of the AJC! It's absolutely delicious and was a big hit in our family....me, Jake....and Bailey. : )
Though I think Bailey preferred the spatula licking action more than the finished product!
