3rd Saturday in October - Fun but definitely not Fall!

As many of you know, the 3rd weekend in October is significant for Alabama and Tennessee fans. My friend and co-worker, Brittany, and I have been planning this "rivalry" weekend for months and it did not disappoint... unless you are a TN fan (I'll only make 2 of those comments, promise!). TN has been trouble for Bama for quite a few years so we were all brimming with anticipation!

We drove over to Birmingham on Friday afternoon to do a tour of our Brownell home office for Brittany and had a great dinner with both friends and co-workers. Bang-Bang Shrimp at Bonefish is always a treat and even better when shared with friends!

from front to back on the left - Clif Naron, friend of Sheri's; Brittany Bingham, works in Atlanta office with Sheri and yes, she's a brunette now, Tara Beckwith, Director of Operations at Brownell
on the right - Sheri, Sue Shaffer, Director of Accounting and HR at Brownell, and Tommy (hiding behind Sue), Sheri's friend from college.

Ahhhhhh. The sweet smells of Game Day - tailgating, stadium food... and unfortunately, sweat from the 80 degree day. We should have taken a before and after shot so you could see the sun burn - Oh my!

So much fun!

Ok, prepare yourselves. We picked up some men at the game. Special men. Quality men. Fight over which one we want men. We even had perfectly coordinated outfits. Do we need to say more?

(Tommy didn't think that was as funny as we did but he was already in game-on mode!)

Now I just wouldn't be a true TIDE fan if I didn't post this last picture...

Can't wait for next year's trip to Neeland Stadium in Knoxville... ROLL TIDE!!
