Hello Everyone! We've had quite the football kickoff this season for Soddy Daisy and Tennessee! Soddy Daisy is 3-4 and UT has won 2/3 games!! Yahoo! Soddy Daisy has such an amazing team this year with so much potential. I can't wait for the rest of the season! I love seeing Cody in his element every Friday night. I am a proud proud coaches wife!
On another hand, we finally got back the coaches pictures from the early summer! I LOVE this year's picture!
I normally go to the games with Cody's parents but two weeks ago they weren't feeling well and I was able to take my friend and coworker, Meryl with me! We had a blast! Meryl loves football and it was so much fun analyzing the game together! Go Trojans!!!
...........HOUSE PLAN UPDATE!!!.....
The next day, Saturday, Cody and I met with our architect to draw the preliminary plans and to meet with our bank to receive the mortgage loan! Oh my goodness y'all, exciting things are happening! After months and months (we had time) of going through house plans, we finally realized with our lot size and house dimension requirements, we had to accept a masters bedroom upstairs. When we accepted that we found the perfect plan IMMEDIATELY. We were so happy to find the perfect plan for our little family and to be able to grow our little family one day and fill those rooms! I will tell you more about the house plans later when they are more finalized:).
Also some more INCREDIBLY exciting news about the house is as of yesterday, 9/15, Miles finished building my brother and sister-in-law's house! They live one street away from us. Do you know what that means?!?! It is officially our turnnnnn!!!! I can not begin to tell you my level of pure raw ecstatic excitement! After 9 months of patiently and happily waiting, it is our turn. Cody and I had a little dance party! I am predicting we will move in around July/August 2019 if all goes well with weather and such. The joy I have in my heart is indescribable.
As of right this second, we are still enjoying making our lot look beautiful, mowing our grass every weekend until it is time to break ground!
So later that day, Cody and I made our way to Knoxville for a short trip to celebrate Nana's birthday and go to Jeremy Pruitt's first home UT game and first win!
We first got to Gigi and Granddad's house to pick up mom and Sasha was waiting for us in her favorite spot.
And of course Sasha couldn't go a Football Saturday without repping her team;).
My cute Sashie. Makes me really look forward to when we get our own dog one day! Cody and I want to raise something while we are waiting for the right time for us to have kids lol.
We then arrived at Nana's house to eat at Nana's choosing of Cheddars (which happens to also be Cody and I's favorite restaurant;)) to eat her birthday lunch together!
So what do you think? Do Morgan and I look similar in the picture above? As we age I find we look more and more similar.
Cheddars!!!!
Cheddars also has many options for whole 30 eaters. I always get the salmon and steamed broccoli and plain sweet potato! Yes, for the month of September and most of October, I am completing my second round whole 30 (with a longer re-introduction phase)! I wanted to re-fix my food habits and a healthier routine prepping for the holidays to come and to drop some weight. I want to get ahead of the game this year and be fully prepared for my cholesterol reading this February. This also helps my mentality to get in check especially when all of the pumpkin things start coming out in September and I usually eat everything pumpkin in sight (usually cookies/cakes unfortunately). So this year I am working to change my mentality so here's to my second whole 30! I am actually super pumped! Day 15 as of today! I've got this!
One thing I didn't add to my Whole 30 post is this awesome Whole 30 calendar I found from Melissa's Whole30.com to help which stage mentally you are on! Check it out!
So promptly after lunch we ran to UT to watch the pregame and be back at my Alma Mater!
The feeling of being back on my college campus is incredible. It seems like literally yesterday I was there walking to my classes. But boy am I glad i'm not in college any more😩.
Me and my incredible mama! I love spending as much time as possible with her! I love this picture of us!
The crew of Dyar women!
💗💗💗💗💗
VOL!!!
Tennessee played nothing but amazing against West Virginia and we were honored to see Jeremy Pruitt's first home game in person and our first win with him! Our future is looking hopeful and bright.
It often blows my mind that some UT fans have never been to a UT game in person. Seriously, if you have never stepped foot in Neyland Stadium you really need to. The $35-80 is SO worth it at least once! Cody and I try to go to at least one game a season and one basketball game a season. We love sports and I love how especially UT football has always been a big role in my childhood. There is nothing like being inside Neyland stadium and feeling the energy of the fans cheer for the Vols, the team we will never give up on.
We then walked around campus and Cody and I headed out back home. What an action packed day!!
Over and out!
Until next time Neyland!
Love,
Kayla
