Our Weekend Part 2

I am totally lifting this entire next bit off of Tesney's blog. I have been so busy getting ready for Halloween, that I have nothing to add to her summation of our trip! Tesney writes that I am her "internet friend". I just refer to her as "my friend I met while perusing the internet!" I do agree with her that our love of God, Alabama football, Bare Minerals makeup, little boys, cookbooks, and much more make us practically related! I love the last few pictures of our boys playing. As it is written in First Hezamechiah....."Where there are two or more Barnhills gathered, there will be football!"

By the way, every year or so, Bryon taps into his inner mountain man, and grows a goatee. He said his farewell to it two days after the weekend was over!


From Minivans and Mom Jeans:
"Two weeks ago, our friends from TX, the Barnhills, came to T-town for the UA/Ole Miss game. Elizabeth is a blog friend, but really we have other connections. She lived in Tuscaloosa as a child and we know some of the same folks. She also is a friend of Kristen, and Kristen & I are friends from Harding. So really, we're practically related. Greg likes to tell everyone that she's my "Internet friend," which makes me sound like I only have friends online or something. Such a jokester, that Greg. Now our entire families are friends after a great Roll Tide weekend together!



Thanks to Karen, we got a special treat on Friday afternoon...a private tour of Bryant Denny Stadium. It was really the highlight of the weekend because we got to see all the inner workings of the stadium. My favorite part was definitely the locker room. The equipment manager gave our tour guide permission to take us in for just a brief moment. We really weren't supposed to be in there because all of the equipment/lockers were set up for the game. We were told not to step on the logo, not to touch ANYTHING, and basically not to breathe while we were in there. Our tour guide informed us that Coach Saban was extremely particular (big surprise, right?) about things; especially the logo deal. Only players and coaches can stand on it when they gather right before the game for the pre-game speech. Our guide was nervous with three active boys, I think. He kept vigilant watch over the logo and anytime any of them would come within 10 feet of it, he was quick to redirect them.



Gameday was great; I wish the game would not have been such a nail-biter but a win is a win! "
