A Concert and a Clemson Game

My mom came up on a Friday night with plans to go to Emily and Hannah's soccer game the next morning.  She sent us off on a date night after she got here and Bert and I didn't argue! We had heard that day that Faith Hill and Tim McGraw were in concert that night, but weren't really wanting to spend money for the tickets, so we decided we would go to dinner and then just spend time walking around downtown Travelers Rest.  The concert started at 7:30 and about 7:50 we were finishing up dinner and decided to check the concert ticket prices (the concert had been in the back of our heads all day). The ticket prices had dropped big time.  There were some floor tickets that were $200-plus earlier and were now $32 each.  We decided to be wild and crazy....we quickly paid for our food, jogged to our car, bought our floor tickets on the drive there and got to the arena about 15 minutes before Tim and Faith came on stage.  So fun!!  We had only missed the opening bands, which we were okay with.  We had amazing seats and it was such a fun night!  I love adventures with my hubby!!  

They put on a great concert!  Super fun night!  

A couple from our church offered us tickets to the Clemson v. Boston College game and we were excited that we were able to go.  We went to Emily's double header soccer games that morning and then drove to Seneca (about 30 minutes from Toccoa) and met my mom there so that she could take the kids for the afternoon. Seneca is just a few minutes from Clemson, so we were able to make it to their tailgate right as they were starting lunch.  We had fun tailgating with their family before the game and the seats were A-MAZING!  

Clemson had a rough first three quarters, but finished strong and won the game!  It was crazy hot but we had a great time!  

I posted the above picture of us on facebook and SO many people freaked out or commented about Bert wearing orange, which I think is silly.  Bert and I love our respective teams, but we for sure cheer for the other person's team when they aren't playing our team, which is almost never. Go Tigers and Go Dawgs!  

Thankful for our fun dates in September!
