In case you haven’t heard (ha!), Alabama won another National Championship last night. That makes #14, and the 2nd time we’ve won it in only 3 years! I was definitely pretty nervous before the game started since we’d already lost to LSU once earlier in the season. But, looking back, we had plenty of chances to win that first game, and last night proved for sure that we were the better team! Roll Tide!!
We watched the game at Collier and Jessica’s house with them, little Baker (who went to bed during the 1st quarter!), and Matt and Maggie. We had a great time! Jessica made some awesome finger foods, so we ate before the game got started. I knew once it started I would probably be too nervous to eat anything. The guys kept us pretty entertained by dancing and going crazy when something good happened. It was funny to watch because they were trying to be fairly quiet so they wouldn’t wake up Baker, but we could tell they would’ve been yelling at the top of their lungs if they could!
Our favorite interview of the night was after the game with Courtney Upshaw…”Hold dat thang, fo!” Definitely priceless. And Coach Saban even looked like he enjoyed his Gatorade bath…at least more than he did 2 years ago when they almost knocked him out with the cooler! It would have been so awesome to actually have been there in person last night, but you can’t ask for anything better than watching it with your friends either. And, we’re probably at least $3000 better off for not going too. That doesn’t hurt :)

Of course, we left the kitties at home when we went to go watch the game. I tried to take a “festive” picture with them and an Alabama shaker earlier yesterday afternoon, but it didn’t work out too well. Gabby tried to eat the shaker, and Felix was scared of it and ran away. Ha! I asked Travis before we left if he was going to leave the TV for them so they could watch the game too (they really do like to watch football), but he said no. What a mean daddy! :)

Speaking of sweet victory, Mom is finished with chemo! WOOHOOOOO!!! That’s definitely something to celebrate. She’ll start radiation in a few weeks, but hopefully she’ll be done with that by sometime in March. Go Mom!!! Her birthday is also tomorrow, so happy early birthday Mom! I love you so much!! :)
Travis has been running with me lately, and we’ve been running 3 days a week to prepare for the half marathon I signed to run in late April. He’s still trying to decide if he’s going to run it too. I’m looking forward to it, but definitely feeling nervous about it.
Travis has a 4 day weekend coming up with Friday as his normal off day and Monday being MLK day. I work Friday but not Monday, so we’re hoping to get some blinds and curtains hung around the house. If we don’t get them hung pretty soon, I’m just going to have to hire someone and sneak them in while Travis is at work. I’m sure he’d appreciate the help, don’t you think? :)
Hope you’re having a great day and staying warm and dry! This weather makes me glad to just stay inside at home :)
