A Game, A Concert and A TV Finale

Greetings, lovelies! Hope you all had a great weekend! We did A LOT, but unfortunately, I have zero pics of the entire weekend.

1. Friday night we went to see Needtobreathe at the AMP in Fayetteville. My parents drove down from Heber Springs (about 3 1/2 hours south of where we live) and we all went together. If you've never seen this amazing group live or even if you've never heard their music, I'd encourage you to do so.

Their new album, The Reckoning, is currently available on iTunes for something like $9...crazy! Here's a video from YouTube of a live radio show they did a couple of years ago doing Something Beautiful, just so you can get a feel for how talented they are:



2. Saturday we played Auburn for what was a pretty exciting game! We ended up winning (woohoo!) despite some pretty iffy calls made by the refs. Auburn definitely gave us a run for our money and were good sports about the whole thing. I just love the mutual respect that the SEC teams have for one another...makes our conference unique and awesome : )

3. Saturday I made a pot of caramel apple dip for us to snack on while we watched the game. Here's the recipe, if you wanna give it a whirl:

2 pkgs. caramel candies (I buy the already unwrapped variety)

1 small can of sweetened condensed milk

1 8oz. package of cream cheese

Melt all ingredients in crock pot on high for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn the crock pot down to it's Low setting. Serve with slices of apples for a yummy treat!

4. Last night was the season finale of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, for all the fellow RH fans out there. I wasn't surprised at what Teresa wrote in her cookbook, (I think she's a fair weather friend), but I was shocked at how she didn't own any of it. I mean, if you talk crap about your friends, at least own up to it, right?!

5. I saw a commercial for Johnny Depp's new film, The Rum Diaries and now I can't wait for October 28th to get here.

6. This weekend marked the start of mine and Stephen's scary Netflix movie month. Everything in our queue from now until the end of the month is a scary movie and I'm pumped! On our list:

Shutter Island
The Shining
Poltergeist
Psycho
Cold Creek Manor
Ghostbusters (not really scary, but a classic nonetheless)
Halloweentown (um, yes...the Disney movie...don't judge)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the Jessica Biel remake)
Seven
The Silence of the Lambs
Scream (yep, the original!)

7. I'm going through our candid wedding pics taken by friends an family and have been laughing my head off. A few gems, which I may or may not share on the blog:

-A pic of me "spanking" Stephen during his, um, dance that he did for me. Yes, this was in front of our entire wedding audience at the reception.

-A pic of my brother, (who is 19) stealing a sip of red wine from someone's glass : )

-A pic of 4 teeny little girls dancing around Stephen and laughing their heads off on the dance floor.

-A pic of my mom and Matron of Honor both sticking their hands up my dress trying to bustle it. Nothing like 4 hands grabbing your booty all at the same time, haha!

8. Get ready. I'll be showing the start of those here on the blog tomorrow : ) EEEP!

Be blessed, lovelies-
