Football, Football & an Engagement Party

This weekend was jam packed.  Friday evening I convinced Jeremy to take me to a local boutique called Riffraff to pick up a Razorback Tee I wanted to wear on Saturday, and then to eat greek food.  After our quick dinner (and a trip to buy a rainjacket), I headed back to Bentonville to help coach the Varsity Cheerleaders at the BHS vs. Kansas City Rockhearst game.

  Even though it was rainy and pretty miserable weather-wise, I had a great time coaching the older girls and cheering the Tigers on for a win!  I didn't realize just how much I would enjoy coaching varsity, but the environment just makes it a blast!

My parents came up late Friday evening, and were just pulling into town when I got home.  Saturday morning Mom, Dad and I went for brunch at Mimi's and then did a little shopping. Jeremy opted out on the shopping in favor of tailgating ;) 

We ventured to the grand opening of Cabela's along with the rest of Northwest Arkansas.  It was crazy packed!  So neat though to have such a big buisness opening in our little corner of the world.  The guys from Duck Dynasty were even there!!! 

After shopping for a little while, Mom and Dad dropped me off at the tailgate.   It was great getting to talk to all the girlfriends, wives, fiances, etc. of all the guys Jeremy went to college with and who are life-long friends now.  I'm happy all of us girls get along so well :)  The guys don't even seem to complain TOO much when we leave the tailgate to hit up a boutique :) 

After tailgating for a while, we headed down to the stadium to Call Those Hogs!  Razorback Football is probably Jeremy's first love and he was so excited for the 1st game of the season.  I was just excited to get to find a cute outfit to wear :)

We ended up winning against Jacksonville State 49-24 but let me tell you, it wasn't pretty there for a while.

After the game, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Jeremy's former roommate, Ryan and his fiance Courtney.  Courtney and I get along really well and I was so glad they were in town!  We ended up staying at BWW until after midnight, just talking and catching up.  I hate it that Ryan and Jeremy don't hang out as much as they would like since they live in Dallas now.  Oh well... that just means lots of Dallas trips in our future :)

Sunday was a day we've been looking forward to for a while!  Our family engagement party!  We invited our families to lunch at Mojitos so everyone could formally meet each other before the wedding.  My grandparents and one of my sisters were able to come along with my parents.  Jeremy has a really big family and so we had a large group full of grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins.  Although it was a bit overwhelming for me at first (walking into a room FULL of people!) I was so glad everyone got along and had a great time.  

After lunch was finished, everyone departed to go shopping and Jeremy, Kyle and Dad played golf.  What a surprise.  Haha. 

 

Whew!  What a crazy, busy weekend but we are SO thankful to have been blessed with wonderful families that are just as excited about our big day as we are :)
