Thanks and Gig 'Em

Another tough Aggie football day. A game well-fought, a few mistakes made, not enough time to adjust and win. What made today much more bearable, however, was sharing our Aggie Day with old Aggie friends. One of the guys from Ben's old Corps of Cadets outfit, Rob, and his wife Katy and daughter Meghan came up to visit us for the weekend. They arrived with just enough time for the girls to get comfortable and start playing together before we needed to sit down and cheer on our Aggies. Turned out Ben had even run into another old outfit member at the grocery store this morning, so two more Ags showed up at our door at halftime. We yelled and cheered loudly the first half, then groaned and growled quietly the second half (so as not to wake napping children). After the game we let the kids run around outside, had dinner, and caught up and chatted until we were all ready to crash. It was such a fun day with us parents being good friends already and our kids becoming new friends. The game may not have ended up the way I would have preferred, but I can't imagine how else this day could have been any better.
