Memory Lane

Trent and I have not been back to a football game since we graduated. Coaching high school football 3 hours away doesn't allow for much time to get away during football season. Trent's cousin, Connor, has season tickets and happened to not be going to the game on a weekend that Trent had a Saturday off. Trent's parents were going to watch the kids but his Dad came down with the flu a day before so our trip was cancelled. Then my mom said she would come so it was back on. She came Friday as soon as she got off work and got to our house about 8pm. I drove to Plano and picked up Trent from his game and we headed to College Station. Unfortunately for him, I slept most of the way. Connor let us stay in his rent house. It was empty but it was free. We brought an air mattress and slept for a whole 5 hours. We got to town around 2am and we were up by 7:30. We headed out and grabbed a bite to eat before going to campus. It was raining so we didn't get to walk around as much as we wanted. We did go into the MSC. We had not seen the renovations. It brought back so many memories driving around the town, and walking around the msc. It seems like a life time ago that we were care free college kids. I'm so thankful for our time in College Station and hope to get back before 8 more years pass.








We had great seats and brought some heavy duty rain gear. It was 100% chance of rain and for the most part it wasn't that bad. There was one point that it POURED and I was so thankful Zack let me borrow some of his coaches rain gear. The game was fun and we had great seats! We headed out a little early because we wanted to do a little more shopping and eat before we headed back home. We ate at Wings and More and Trent is still craving their wings. We went to the mall and a tent sale. We got some new Aggie gear and headed out. We hated that our trip was so rushed but we were so thankful Mom sacrificed her time to come watch our kids so that we could go. She headed home when we got home because she had other obligations Sunday morning. It was a whirlwind trip but so worth it. It was nice getting away for a night. We hope to go back in the spring with the whole family for a baseball game.
