The Blonde Diaries

So yesterday I posted this photo for my weekly Wordless Wednesday meme.  So now I’m going to tell you about it since it is

So yesterday’s picture was taken at opening night of LSU’s new baseball stadium, Alex Box Stadium, via helicopter.  I did not take the picture, rather one of my friends sent it my way since neither one of us live close enough to make it to a game let alone opening night.  Some of my fondest memories from college have come from the baseball stadium at LSU.  I was a batgirl all four years of college which allowed me to make some amazing friends and be apart of a great baseball program.  I was able to travel to the SEC Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama and to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The memories of what we did on those trips – ice skating, going to the zoo, barbeques – are some of the best scrapbook pages I have put together.  It was also through being a batgirl that I started my love for happy hours.  Every Thursday I had a group of girls that I would go with to Happy Hour at Chili’s after our meeting.  We just couldn’t pass up chips and queso and 2 for 1 margaritas!

So there you have it.  It might not be the same stadium I had all of my memories in but it still represents those fun times and I can’t wait until I do have some time to go home and see the new stadium.
