Gene Chizik

Today Gene Chizik came to town to sign copies of his new book, All In.  We were so excited to meet him and to read his book.  We knew he was coming to Hoover from 3 to 5 but on a whim, last night we stopped by Lifeway to get all the details for the book signing.  They mentioned that you had to get tickets for the event today at 10, which we hadn't known about.  We were so thankful that we stopped by and the girls and I got in line this morning for a ticket at 9:30.  We were number 8 in line, which again we were so thankful for because once Coach Chizik got there we didn't have to wait long at all.  The book signing was like a cattle call, with a lot of rules such as no personalizations, no posed pictures, and no memorabilia, but he would sign 4 books for each ticket.  We got to tell him thank you and War Eagle and he told us how cute and adorable the girls were.  He also asked them to give him a War Eagle, which they did.  Ryan and I both felt a little star-struck because we love him and Auburn so much.  I can't wait to read his book.  In fact, I'm starting tonight!
