Gator Homecoming

The day after Eli's 9th birthday was Gator Homecoming! Philip and I took Eli with us to the game as his birthday present.

It was unseasonably cool that day so we stopped at the bookstore to find me a long sleeve shirt. While in the checkout line, we spotted the black-out eye gear with scripture like Timmy Tebow wears. Eli thought that was super cool and really wanted some. I think he looks so cute with them on! The College of Pharmacy held their Alumni Bar-b-que before the game. As part of the "package" deal, they had a section of seats blocked off for the alumni. Philip thought we would probably be way high up in the bleachers. But we were so happy to find out we had GREAT seats 11 rows up in the end zone....

If you know me at all, you know how much I LOVE TIM TEBOW!!! My infatuation with him goes back to before he ever even stepped foot onto Florida Field in a Gator uniform. Right after he signed with them, Philip and I were laying in bed one night and he was watching ESPN (shocker, I know). They were doing a special segment about Tebow and his family and their faith. I was immediately drawn to their morals, values and priorities. I became an instant fan and still am. His performance and enthusiasm on the field is second-to-none, but its what he does off the field that I love. His commitment to sharing God with others and being the Light that Christ called us to be is so out of the norm. Look at this example below....90,000 + people around and what does he do before the game....stops, kneels down and talks to our Creator. You better believe that I pointed that out to Eli.

Although the Razorbacks played so well and Florida played so bad, we really had a good time at the game. (not sure if I could've said that had the Gators lost)

After the game as we were walking out of the stadium, I saw a group of people gathered around a trash can taking pictures. I walked over to take a peek and found this....

kinda funny, kinda gross!

GO GATORS!!!!!!
