Auburn The Great!






Our first stop when we got to Auburn was of course the Forestry building. Hasn't changed at all since we left. We also got the chance to go in and Visit with one of our old professors, Dr. Gallagher. It was really good to see him and catch up, It's been over 2 years!

Walking around campus just like the old days.



An outside view of the new Colisseum.





We were able to sneak in and take a quick tour around the new coliseum. It is so NICE!





Toomers Oak. This is the one they are projecting to survive.





And of course we had to go by and see Josh's old trailer site in Gentilly. Different trailer, but everything else is the same


A bad hail storm his Auburn on Friday night. It was crazy how much fell, it looked like snow everywhere!

This is the exact spot where Josh Propose to me back in December of 2008. On the Agriculture side of the Samford Building. It was neat to get to take this photo on our 2nd anniversary weekend. We had not been back here since the proposal!!



The new Track and Field facilities. Also very nice!


These silo's and barn were right across from the new track. I thought it was pretty scenery. Don't you just love Auburn's campus?

Getting ready for the A-Day game to get started.

Who's that cute guy? The great Gene Chizik!

Doing what he does best!

Taking it all in.


For our 2nd anniversary (which is going to be this coming Monday the 18th), Josh and I took a trip to Auburn for the A-Day game, and just to hang out in our old "home away from home". Neither one of us had been to Auburn in over 2 years, so it was such a sweet return for both of us!


We have sooo many great memories of Auburn. It's more than just where we went to college and earned our degrees, it became our home in the years we were there! Auburn is where Josh and I met, and over the years I got to know him better than I had ever known anyone before. He became my very best friend during those years and the best friend I could have ever asked for. While we were in school we spent a lot of time together. Not only in classes everyday (and studying for class at night), but I really believe we explored every single inch of that city together. Whether it be canoeing in the Saugahatchee, cruising the trails of the Tuskegee National Forest and the old back roads of Auburn in the green machine, hiking around Chewacla State Park or just going on walks around campus, we did it all. Every single memory we have of our college career is one that I know we will cherish forever. And to think we were "so ready" to graduate and leave. What were we thinking?!?


Going back to Auburn this past weekend just confirmed how much we really miss it there! I don't know why we've waited 2 years to go back, and I know we won't wait that long for our next visit. In fact, if we could we would move back there in a second! Needless to say, it was a wonderful 2nd anniversary weekend. It was just what Josh and I needed to remind us of old times, and of how we met and fell in love. Every single road, park and building has a story behind it. It might sound like just another college romance to you, but to us it is a very sweet and special story, in a very sweet and special place!

You are so right....every building, road, and tradition at AU has some special meaning for Temple and I as well. I always say if it wasn't for the good Lord and Auburn I wouldn't have found him! :) So, I don't see this post as just another college romance, I understand it COMPLETELY! Happy Anniversary and WAR EAGLE!
