Oxford, Mississippi

Blake and I have had a busy summer and school year. We haven't had a lot of time to spend together and going on vacation was out of the question. So when Auburn played Ole Miss, it was nice to be able to plan a quick weekend get away. Even though the game was quite pitiful (Auburn will get it together), we had a wonderful time camping and relaxing (well unless it's looking for fire wood).

I don't mind camping because it's cheap. Blake had to prove to me that it was cheaper, ha. I only ask for two things: 1) nice bathhouse with hot water and 2) electricity in that bathhouse. That's not much to ask, ha. I also always make sure to bring an air mattress, snacks, and trash bags. Blake does a great job handling everything when camping. I will say this, Blake is one self-sufficient man! If we ever were stranded as Tom Hanks during Castaway, we would actually probably survive. That boy knows all about survival skills.

 Auburn pride! 

I love my Volkswagon Jetta!

 This tent is huge! 

 Handmade Clothes Rack....He thinks of just about everything!

 He's serious about his fire building. 

 Love this man! I can't wait till our wedding day. 

Blake's Awesome Fire Skills! 

On our way home, we stopped off in Hamilton, Alabama, to see the Natural Bridge. There we made a new little friend named Augie. He was our guide dog and the couple running the national forest site were so sweet.

They even provided us with walking sticks. They were helpful with the ground being wet from the rain.

 These pictures are out of order but this is us at the Ole Miss Game. Beautiful campus! I wasn't too crazy about sitting on the bleachers. :) We had a great time, even with the lost.
