Hotty Toddy Rock Star Style
On Saturday Morning at 7:30 am, 10 of us loaded a bus and headed for the Ole Miss Arkansas Game in Fayetteville. This was no ordinary bus; it was a Celebrity Coaches Bus. Traditionally they lease these to rock stars. We were traveling on the Tupelo Honey that has hosted The Drive by Truckers, Backstreet Boys and Gavin DeGraw.
Below is a picture of our bus:
It was early so my picture isn’t that great.
After winning we hit the town to celebrate. When everyone had enough we loaded the bus and hit the road for Tupelo. I slept most of the way home is a tiny bunk. I happened to be traveling with non picture takers so sorry for the lack of fun ones.
We rolled into Tupelo Sunday Morning at 6:30 am. This has to be the longest road trip in the shortest amount of time. If you ever get a chance to go on a Celebrity Coaches Bus I totally recommend it!

After a long day full of Toddy’s and great food on the bus we made it in time to explore downtown.
Here is a picture of us before the game:

If any of you watched the game on Pay Per View you know it was a nail biter. It was very exciting! We pulled out a win on the road!

The Little Rascals
On Friday we got all dolled up for The Farrar's Annual Halloween Party. We always have a great time and everyone goes all out on their costumes. This year for Halloween we were Darla and Alfalfa from The Little Rascals. It was fun being someone else. Below are some funny pictures.

More Flower Beds
Over the weekend Chad and I planted in our North Flower Bed.
On either ends we planted LeAnn Cleyera's. They are evergreen Shrubs that will get much larger. On either side behind the Japanese Maple we planted Glory Blue Hydrangea's. I hope our drainage is correct since they don't like wet feet. Lastly we planted a Sassanqua with white blooms in front of our fireplace. Below is a better picture.
Our Camellia in the front yard is looking great this year.
This crazy weather has it blooming already. Below is a picture of the beautiful pink blooms.
With all this yard work I think my BROWN thumb is finally turning a light shade of GREEN.

Flower Beds
Chad and I have worked several different weekends to make our front flower beds presentable. With some help from various people we were able to finish the front beds on Sunday. Thank you Mom and DD! Below are several pictures of our progress:
We also re-routed, prepped and mulched our side bed. Now we need to decide what to plant. 
Here is an up close shot of the right bed:
We planted Higasa Azalea's, Hostas, and Yellow Pansy's.

Our other big project is finishing our porch. The treated lumber is finally dry. We spent a lot of time Saturday prepping to paint. We have 1 coat of primer on the rails. The next step is to caulk and prime again. The end result will require 2 coats of paint. The goal is to finish by Halloween.

Congratulations and Best Wishes Miller and Jenni....
That is right. My younger brother finally proposed to Jenni on Friday night! So now it is official that Jenni will be my sister-in-law.
Here is a re-cap of the proposal:
Miller prepared a romantic meal for two and greeted her with it when she came home from work on Friday. Sometime during the meal she thought he was getting more wine and he was about to propose. I knew Miller had it in him!
I was so excited when Jenni called to tell me the news. The best part is when she said "I hear you have been waiting for me to call". We were with friends and they were equally as excited. The catch - my Grandparents were not coming until Saturday and they weren't being told until dinner at my parents on Sunday. It was so hard to keep the secret.......
We kept telling them they came to town for Pete's Blessing yesterday. They were so relieved to hear the good news. In the end Dink said that he thought they were here for some big news. He said either Miller was engaged or I was pregnant. Sorry Dink, no Great Grand Babies yet!

Busy Weekend!
This past weekend Chad and I took Pete to Memphis. We stayed in the condo at the Shrine. It was just like old times. We quickly realized the condo was too small for all 3 of us but we somehow managed. 
Highlights:
- Romantic Dinner on the Roof (Chad proposed to me a little over 2 years ago on this roof). Complete with Head banging music from Mud Island.
- Shopping
- French Fries from Young Avenue Deli. I think they currently hold the title of #2 Best Fries. Not sure what Magazine gave them this Award. Need to Check.
- Spending time with the Hildreth’s
Beth holding new baby - Mason Coleman Hildreth.
Sean, Chad and Pete.
- The Raconteurs Concert
Downsides:
- Not enough sleep.
- Not enough time to see everyone.
- Most important – The Apple Store said my iPod was DOA. The only good thing - they said if you purchase your next iPod from a store we will give you a 10% discount for Recycling your old one. So maybe I will get one for Christmas. Hint Hint Chad.
