UGA gameday
Describe your typical Bulldog game day:
… #NoGroundHogDaysEVER
My Saturday is a constant never-ending unbeatable battle with time! The closest and most accurate typical game day would be … landing in ATL from either a red-eye or 5-6 a.m. flight from the previous days prep work or photo shoot.
Once I hit the ground I’m literally running and race against the clock to get home to take Harper and Saint to their 8:30 a.m. flag football practice or game. Between the hours of 9 a.m. -2 p.m. I’m usually intermittently on a FaceTime call with a wardrobe assistant, photographer or client virtually styling a shoot that is concurrently happening in a different city. Atticus also has football games each Saturday afternoon in which Harper is also a cheerleader for so we are driving across one to three counties to make that happen. One of my favorite things to do on game day but sadly miss or only catch the last 20 minutes of is the UGA Coaches Wives Football Family Tailgate.
Regretfully we miss the #DawgWalk but fortunate to be able to go on the sideline before each game so the children can hug their dad, high five the other coaches and fist pump their favorite players during warm up. We head to the West End Zone recruiting lounge for a few minutes before taking our seats to cheer on our Bulldogs! After the game, we head home and my 7-year-old and I re-watch the game with less trepidation and more certainty of a W.
