nick and i went to auburn this past weekend for the season opener against washington state. 40-14. nice. here were some of my personal highlights:
- brad buck getting us out of traffic in montgomery AND outside of auburn
- some "momma's love" from momma goldberg's along with their ridiculously simple but impossible to duplicate nachos (pepperjack cheese melted on top of cheese doritos)
- jenny edwards' sweet & swank condo in eagle's landing (they didn't make em like that in my day)
- catching up with one of my favorite people of all time: jim brinkerhoff (campus minister and the officiant of our wedding)
- daniel mundie's homemade chocolate chip cookies (all 6 dozen of them!)
- lunch at big blue bagel...those bagel chips (w/ranch) are one of a kind
- tailgating at the auburn christian student center...barbeque house...mmm!
- catching up with rocky & amy oliver & lori thomas during the customary pre-game claiming of seats (one must stand in line to wait for the gates to open and then claim their seat 2 hours before the game begins)
- a quick stop at toomer's to observe the rolling
- a late night trip to guthrie's to ensure that we gain weight during our trip!
- running at kiesel park
- meeting my parents (who drove down from atlanta) on sunday morning for church and lunch @ amsterdam's (oh, those turkey wraps with sweet potato chips...!)

my mouth is watering right now! i do the same thing. only my hot spots are Niffer's, Guthries, Amsterdam, Bodega, Toomer's lemonade, Ander's for whatever spirit paraphernalia i need for the year, shopping on the Strip, Haley Center for a copy of that week's Plainsman, a run thru the ACSC to see who I might know and subsequently verify my age when i don't know anyone, and a drive-by Summerbrooke apts on the way out of town! Oh, I do need a trip to Auburn!
I'm so jealous! Amsterdams! Ahhh...I love it! Oh to be back in Auburn...glad you had fun and WAR EAGLE!
