Glory Glory

Happy first Saturday of college football!!

As a mentioned in my 20 things, I love Georgia Football.. Now that it's starting up, I'm pumped!!! 

5 Things I Love About Athens

1. Being between the hedges on Saturday- words can't really describe how it feels to be in Sanford Stadium with 92,000 of my closet friends. I love it, if you've never been then you aren't doing football season the right way.

2. The Grill in Downtown Athens. I have to eat this everytime I go to Athens. A hamburger and French fries are a regular meal in my diet, but there's something about eating it in my favorite collegetown in the world. Check it out if you've never been. It's unbelievable.


3. Ringing the Bell post victory- there is nothing that compares to Athens after a victory. My favorite Athens tradition is ringing the bell after the win. The line to even ring it gets crazy backed up!

4. Visiting Broad Street. I love to shop, end of story. Broad Street has the best shopping ever. 

5. Being on campus, this is really a broad topic for sure, but it makes me so pumped to be potentially going to school in Athens in 2 years!! It would be a dream come true for sure.
For those of you who don't know the Georgia tradition of the arches,  read up about it. One of the traditions I can't wait to do!

I hope you guys enjoy the first day of solid college football. I cannot explain my excitement & can't wait to see what this season brings for my Georgia Bulldogs.

Go Dawgs!!

Not all of the things on the list are things you have to pay for, try to save money! I gave some examples for free and things you have to pay for because I know it's hard to have to pay for something every time you leave the house, especially as a teenager!

Memory Makin Weekends


Welcome back to withasunnyside!! 

I feel like the bloggers I typically read from post about things that happen in their life and fun stuff to keep readers entertained and coming back to read more. So here I am posting about my life. I decided the easiest thing to do is to share what I did over the weekend.

I love the weekends now that school is back! On Monday mornings I'm counting down the days till Saturday! 

The white romper is from Abercrombie and Fitch, The chunky necklace is Dress Up & I also have on a monogram! The clutch is Marley Lilly. The shoes are Sam Edelman gladiator sandals. 



Saturday was filled with shopping for an exciting Sunday night. One of my best friends, Kenna, and both of our boyfriends decided to go to Keith Urban. Kenna and I of course had to do some shopping. I picked out a dress from one of my favorite brands at Macy's,  Maison and Jules! I had planned to wear a orange long sleeve dress, but the weather was telling me other things! 

You can checkout my dress here!



(L to R: Kenna, Will, Me, Austin, Lexie, Zach)


(L to R: Brynn, Olivia, Brooke, Alexandra, Me, Kenna, Lexie)


Austin & I pre-concert tailgating! So much fun! 


This is probably one of my favorite pictures of the night. Keith Urban had a second stage set up in the lawn and Kenna and I were pumped to have him so close to us!! We crammed ourselves in with a bunch of people and sang and danced. Of course we had to take a selfie with him. So cool, right?

I love concerts, my parents have been taking me to all different kinds since forever and this was my first one without them. A little bitter sweet for sure, but so awesome to think I hangout with Keith Urban with my best friends and boyfriend. How does it get any better?! 

If you haven't heard any Keith Urban music, I encourage you to check it out. Some of my favorites are; Days go By, Cop Car, Kiss a Girl, Long Hot Summer, and Little Bit of Everything.

Thanks for reading this post and hope you enjoyed seeing what my weekend was like!

If you haven't read the first one, you can check it out here 20 Things You Should Know About Me. Also check out my 'about me' page here, About Me.

As I said in my first post, I'm addicted to Pinterest. Once I start looking a pins, there is no telling in how long I'll pin for.

I have 30 boards and over 3,000 pins. I want to share my favorite boards and pins.

Boards:

1. Me- this board sums up everything that can be related to me. Pins that are inspirational words, tips, etc.
2. Destinations- I love to travel! Pinning destinations on a board is a reminder of all the places I hope to travel one day. Lots of cool places on there!
3. The Big Day- I'm obsessed with my wedding. The whole thing is basically planned on Pinterest.


I love donuts, too! I forgot to include that in my 20 things!!
