Aggieland







What a weekend! First visists with Advisors and walking around campus with LEH, then lunch with LSH, then the chaotic, but exciting "Ring Day" with LSH. She was so excited, "I am never taking this off!". She didn't want to do the new tradition of the "Ring Dunk". Evidently the idea of putting your brand new Aggie ring into a pitcher of beer and chugging until you get to the bottom and the ring, did not appeal to our daughter. I have to say that I am not too sad about that, although I probably would have done it.....who's kidding who, I would have.
We then did a little tent shopping! The girls and I got a few things, but amazingly enought my Red Raider hubby who is paying a great deal of $$$ to A&M, did not want anything!
It was dinner time by now, so we ate at this great place in Welborn, TX called Hullaballoo's (SP?). It is the cutest diner. We had a great home cooked dinner and the breakfast menu looked awsome. We want to try it next visit!
After dinner, we went to the ever popular H.E.B. and brought LSH some groceries to wste time until mid-night yell...hubby, LEH and my first. I thought it was going to be this long pep rally, but it was only about 20 minutes. It was fun seeing all of the team spirit! I wish we lived near or in Lubbock so that we could participate in the fun there.
Saturday, we got up, did a little shopping, my favorite past time! Then we paid $20 to park in the West Campus garage and walk over to the Corps Quad to visit my Best Friend and her family. He son is a Freshman in the Corps. He is in E-2, the group that takes care of Revelle. LSH was reluctant, but she took her picture with that beautiful Collie. We then walked all the way back to West Garage and couldn't remember where we parked! We walked around the garage, trying to get my alarm to go off so that we could find it.....it took about 20 minutes. I don't know if it's early alzheimer's or just nobody paying attention! I hope the latter.
We went back to the Apt. and loaded up, got LSH something to eat and dropped her off to meet her friends for the game. Evidently it was a rollercoaster game, but in hte end they pulled it out! Gig'em! Wait, did I just say that.....maybe I am becoming somewhat maroon!
We came home in time to see our precious DS get Baptised.....so sweet to see a child make a decision to live his life for Christ! I am so glad that we made it back! We stayed a bit and then we were so tired that we went home, unloaded the car and watched the Tech.v.Texas game......a total nightmare! LEH and Hubby were having fits! I have to say I understand....the officiating stunk and many mistakles on both sides were made! Our house was very sad at the end of the game. I grew up bleeding burnt orange, but I am a Red Raider now and was very sad.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings. I have some projects that I am working on and hope to have them posted soon!
