What a weekend!!

Well I spent my weekend doing things that many don't get the opportunity to do. On Saturday I went with a good friend and watched the Alabama spring game. You wouldn't think that a game where there isn't a real opponent could bring out almost a 100,000 people but it's Alabama and we live for Alabama football. The game had over 91,000 people at it. After the game I got the chance to go with Bryan to Coach Nick Saban's house for an after party. His million dollar home was amazing, his wife seems so down to earth- she greeted everyone at the door when they arrived and when they left! I have a few pictures below from the experience. Bryan laughed at me for taking pictures with my phone but at the end of the day I'm a fan and might never get that close to him again. After all the man just won the national championship for the biggest sport in our country probably, if you don't know what he looks like you at least know his name!! I also got to meet Sandra Bullock's dad.




This was Nick Saban arriving at his house after the A-day game. The car literally pulled within inches of his house and let him out.


My act of trying to be discreet and get a picture of him with my phone. I made myself leave the real camera at home so I didn't seem quite so obvious.


This is his "man cave" aka the recruiting room. He has some amazing pictures on the wall including one of him and Tiger playing golf together. On the other side of this room was a pool table and card table. He even had a Blind Side corner and of course the bar in the back.


I spent today at a retirement party for Bryan's dad, Bill, who retired today after spending over 40 years in sports, the last 20 or so at Alabama as the director of sports medicine. He has trained thousands of kids and lead many to become outstanding adults and it was evident today by his turn out. He had an amazing number of people show many from out of state just to wish him well. It was great to be a part of the celebration. So the picture below is of Bryan and I at the party. I made him take one because we seem to have so few together. I think it turned out pretty good! So needless to say I had a great but busy weekend. I'm already looking forward to being lazy with the kids next weekend. We plan to make no plans- those weekends are few and far between so I plan to enjoy it!
