WEEKEND RECAP

Our weekend kicked off when we hit the road to Chattanooga Friday afternoon. We stopped and got Chick-Fil-A for the road and we quickly realized it had been too long since we last had it.
I always appreciate when companies use pretty fonts on their advertisements, I am a self proclaimed font snob and will definitely be drawn in to an advertisement a lot quicker if it has pretty font lol. 
So when I saw an Aldi truck on our road trip, I quickly pointed it out to Matthew.

Saturday afternoon was my BIL's engagement party and we had a great time! The weather was wonderful so people were able to play some outside games after we ate dinner.

TWO months from today Jenny and I get another sister, woo hoo!
 Siblings-couple-picture!

Sunday after church we cleaned the house and did yard work all.day.long. but it's all finished and we got A LOT done!

And last, but certainly not least, hockey season is over, and it wasn't the outcome we all hoped for here in Nashville. It was a heck of a season and The Preds proved to everyone and themselves that they could make it this far...I mean it is almost the middle of JUNE and we were still watching The Pred's play!!!! But that's okay, they'll be back and until then we'll keep standing with them!
Also, this post....ALL THE FEELS. I just really love this city and the past few weeks have been absolutely incredible seeing everyone in navy and gold and coming together to watch the playoff games. There is so much pride in this town for our boys and I am already excited for next season!

WE WANT THE CUP

Y'all. Nashville was crazy this past weekend...it's been crazy since the playoffs started but this weekend was definitely the craziest I have ever seen it. And it was incredible.
A couple of months ago, Matthew was out to lunch with a coworker and while they were eating in come some of the Predators for lunch. He talked to some people and found out that's where they eat lunch before every single home game, so Matthew has been back a couple of times and sure enough, they are there! So we decided to take our creeping to a whole new level and go there for lunch on Saturday. Ethan and Rachel joined us and it was so awesome. I have always laughed at people freaking out over famous people, but I was full on fangirling when MIKE FISHER walked in. And when I made eye contact with Filip Forsberg I almost spit out my water. I kept my cool though, only turning around every .5 seconds...I didn't walk over to the area they were eating in and take pictures like one lady kept doing...so rude! However, I did snap a couple of pictures after they left the restaurant and were walking down the street....

Carrie Underwood's man...

That's all the pictures I got, but there were others there too! A lot of them wear a hat and sunglasses and keep their head down as they are walking in and leaving the restaurant so people don't spot them, and it worked! We didn't see a single player get stopped outside of the restaurant.

We went downtown Saturday afternoon for the game, but sadly we didn't stay for the game because it was just too crowded and we wouldn't have been able to see it on the big screen, but I'm so glad we got to at least experience some of it, even if it was crazy hot. 


We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings right before the game and then watched it at home with our friends, Ethan, Rachel, Justin, and Lexi, and it was a lot of fun, and a good game!

and here are some pictures that were shared all over Facebook...look at this crowd!!

And the mayor of Nashville shared this on Facebook last night after we WON game four! I love how everyone is really getting into it!

and then there is the catfish fad going on right now lol I can't stop laughing at all the catfish posts!! This one had a glittery hat, was wrapped in a Pred's towel and had a stuffed penguin in it's mouth. 

It's also really fun seeing who they will get to sing the National Anthem before each game. They are keeping it a surprise and have everyone guessing and voting on who they think it will be next. So far they have had Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Vince Gill and his daughters, Trisha Yearwood, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Lady Antebellum, Kelly Clarkson, Martina McBride, and last night, Dierks Bentley!!
We're ready for game 5 this Thursday...we want the cup!

Free tickets + a shootout

Monday night I got four free tickets to the Predator's game for the following night. We asked Matthew's brother because he and his girlfriend, Jenny, are huge Pred's fans. So we left Tuesday a little after five to make it there in time. We were about 30 miles away from Cookeville when we realized we forgot to print the tickets off...
So we looked up the nearest printing place and made a little pit stop to print them off :)
 
We met up with some friends and all walked in together. Once we got inside this older gentleman asked our friends if they wanted lower bowl seats...for free,  how cool is that?!?!
 
The game went into overtime and then a shootout. I had never been to a game where they had a shootout so it was an experience! Our friend called us and told us to come down there with them because no one had been sitting in front of them the whole game. So we got to watch the shootout from the lower bowl. The Predators won and it was awesome!
 
We parked at LP field since it's free, so we had to walk over the pedestrian bridge and got to enjoy this incredible view. I love downtown Nashville at night.
 

 
It was such a fun night and great game!!

 
Also, I finally have my fall decorations up outside of my apartment! It's not much but I don't have much room outside my apartment this year.
 
I went to the same place I did last year to get my mum. I haven't been able to find any mums as perfect as this place. Seriously, I'm going to have to drive to Cookeville once I move to get my mums in the fall...kidding, maybe ;)
Hopefully, if we have time next week Matthew and I will carve the big pumpkin!
It's getting a bit cooler. I woke up this morning and it was about 67 in my apartment. That definitely made getting out of my warm and cozy bed about ten times harder!! I still don't want to turn my heat on though, I have an electric blanket on my bed so I stay warm at night, and it warms up a bit during the day. I'm sure I will be turning it on next month sometime!
 
Have y'all turned your heat on yet??
