Go Cougs!

Two weeks ago Taurean and I headed south to Mississippi for the BYU vs Ole Miss football game. We had a great time and it wasn't too bad of a drive, only 7 hours. 
Apparently Ole Miss is in a tiny town in Mississippi. I thought it would have been a bigger town, seeing as it's a pretty famous college. It's in the middle of nowhere and the nearest Target is more than 100 miles away. If that doesn't show how isolated it is, I don't know what will. 
The weather was great and the natives were super nice! We got high fives and congratulations all the way to the car. 


We would definitely do it again! Go Cougs!

DuPont Mansion

For our anniversary Taurean took me to a bed and breakfast in downtown Historic Louisville. I was really impressed with Taurean's choice. We had a great time. We were the only people staying in the house so we had it all to ourselves. We LOVED learning about the history of Louisville and seeing all the old houses. In the early 1900's downtown Louisville was super ritzy, and lot's of the houses still stand today. Here are some pictures of the great house. 

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. 

Here are some photos I found online from the time when Old Louisville was something special. 
In this one they're posing in front of the confederate monument which is still there. 

 Why did I not live in this time period?
