Aggie Game, 10 year reunion and Logan's new toy!

I have been at my job for almost 2 years (next week will mark 2 years!) and my building is right across from Kyle Field.  Growing up, my Dad was always an Aggie fan and we watched the football games and rooted for A&M.  I have always wanted to go to a football game, but with a little one, it is hard (and not to mention expensive!) Last year, Student Life put together a bucket list at one of our retreats.  I had 3 items: 

Attend a Silver Taps  Done! I went last year with my friend and it was an amazing experience. 

Go to the Messina Hof Winery (still not done, maybe my birthday this year?!)

Attend an Aggie football game Done! Thanks to the awesome Dean of Student Life! She knew I wanted to go to a game and had 2 extra tickets to the Arkansas game last month and asked if I wanted to go. Ummm YES!  I was so excited (and so was my hubby!) Our wonderful friends agreed to watch Logan and we stayed the whole time! Now,  I am not a football fanatic or anything, but it was a great game, our first SEC home win! The game day experience was all I could have imagined and more.  Gig 'Em!

My FREE tickets!

10 years?  Has it been that long since I graduated high school? No, it can't be....I am only 28 years young! Alas, my high school reunion was in Brenham 2 weeks ago and I decided I was going to go.  It might be strange, but I have lots of close friends that I went to high school with.  Like, we still hang out on a regular basis.  So this was a perfect opportunity for us to all get together! And see people from high school too of course.   Our graduating class was big...well big for Brenham.  364 in our graduating class of 2002.  So I figured there would at least be 100 or so at the reunion.  Nope, like 50 tops.  Oh well.  We were there and they had free food and drinks, can't pass that up! It was a fun "adult" night with our friends and great to see lots of old friends too (however, most of them I can see on facebook!)

Yea, we might be older but ain't DEAD! We still have FUN :) My drill team girls and my BFFs still after all these years!

Me and my bestie Mark

For the past few weeks, everytime we come home and I attempt to make dinner, Logan has been very clingy.  We try to get him to play in his room but he either clings to me or clings to the doorknob saying "Ou-side" over and over.  We have a very large backyard with nothing in it for him to play with.  Bryan is going to build him a nice swingset when he is older, but he is too little for that right now.  Thanks to my boss, I found a page on facebook (it is like Craigslist...but better!) for local moms to post gently used items for sale.  I had been on the lookout for a toddler climber.  Those things are like $300 new and no way was I paying that! The other week I found one on that page and thought for sure someone had claimed it, but no offers! She was asking $100 OBO so we decided to go look at it and maybe we could talk her down to $75.  Logan loved it and it was in great condition so I offered her $85 and she took it! We loaded it up and took it home.  The next day it rained so Logan could not play on it.  On Friday we let him see it and he was so excited! Now everyday he wants to go play "Ou-side" on his big boy toy.  And that makes this momma VERY happy that I can now cook dinner without a crabby toddler hanging on my leg :)
