Auburn Football Experience 2010

Right now I'm home recouperating from a weekend trip to Auburn. Since I have moved to Nashville it has been difficult to attend Auburn games on a weekly basis, so I have resorted to pick at least one good conference game to attend each year. This year Zac and I selected the Arkansas game. It and what an amazing game it was!
The stands are still full, even at the end of the 4th quarter.
Along with watch some great football we also spent some overdue quality time with family and friends.

Victory visit to Toomer's Corner
 After any Auburn victory fans roll the trees on Toomer's Corner. It is a great opportunity to take in the excitement and energy of the day and it provides for some great photo opportunities. Yesterday evening while out on Toomer's Corner we encountered a "Tall Bike." Now may of you may not know what a "Tall Bike" is; but it is not hard to figure out because the name isn't too clever. It is just a bicycle that is extremely tall (approximately 7 feet high). Is it constructed from two bike frames that are welded together. When I first moved to Nashville encountering a "Tall Bike" was about as elusive as encountering a popular musician: it wasn't an unexpected occurrence but when you did bump into one you had to tell all of your friends about it. However over the years the "Tall Bike" species has become endanger of extinction in Nashville. Therefore I was so thrilled to see one in Auburn I had to ask for a photo. As you can see they may have talent for mastering a high center of gravity, but they are a bit awkward in front of the camera.
Happy Trails to my Auburn "Tall Bike" comrade. Live long and strong and WAR EAGLE!

Morgan Weant: i read your blog :)
Lynn Steller: you have a blog? what's it about?
Kelly Weant Cook: Nothing these days. I'm doing a crappy job at updating it.

True true. I'm not doing a great job of blog updating. In my defense it is time consuming. (Excuses, I know.)
These past 2 weeks have been great!
Last Friday my little sister got engaged! Tentatively they plan to have the wedding in early April. That means that my brother, sister and I will all be wed within 12 months.

Two weekends back Zac and I went with our friends on a camping and biking trip. It was a perfect fall adventure. This was my 1st time in my adult life I slept in a tent. Sleeping was alright, the ground was a bit hard and Cotton was a bit restless in the tent at times; but I was warm and as Zac says, "a cold Kelly is an ornery Kelly." 

This past weekend we were in Atlanta for Heath Hinds and Leslie O'Byrne's wedding.
