Texas Aggies, Auburn Tigers, and Indoor Tail Gating... Oh my!

Saturday afternoon, Ray, Aubrey, and I made our way to the Hanks' house for some good 'ole fashion indoor "tailgating" for the A&M v. Auburn game. We met with several couples from our ABF including the Hanks, Goodings, Zoutendams, Cooks, and Ogles. Our little family of three adorned ourselves in maroon and white and little Miss Aubrey wore the most adorable Aggie themed tutu. A big thanks to our sweet friend, Denise, for making it for her. I am so excited that she'll get to wear it for many games to come. Our afternoon was great. The kitchen was filled with delicious appetizers, our number 7 Aggies were beating the heck out of Auburn (first half), and our baby play date was in full swing. Now what outing with a newborn can be complete without a blowout? Thank goodness for new mama over packing as we would have been up the creek without a onesie... I think that's how that saying goes:) Anyway, she was quickly changed, Aggie shirt layered back on top, and we were good to go. 

Enjoy some fun photo opts of our afternoon together.

What a fun group of girls. I am super thankful for these couples and to our good friends, the Hanks, for hosting a fun indoor "tailgate." And yes, sadly our Aggies ran out of time, but what a great afternoon it was. Gig 'em Aggies... WHOOP!

A Pre Birthday Visit to Aggieland!

For months, we have had a family visit to College Station planned as my brother, Chris, will be turning 33 this Easter. While our start was a little later than planned, we met my mother and brother  at Sodalaks in Snook, TX. Known for their super large and absolutely delicious portions the food was great and the company was even better. As College Station is not exactly half way between Dallas and Sugar Land, it is definitely a perfect place to meet up with our family on beautiful days such as this. We were actually dreading the weather as it was supposed to be a complete down pour, but the skies opened up to this gorgeous day. It allowed us to enjoy a fabulous pre birthday lunch, trip around Aggieland, and fun catch up day.

Our first stop was a photo opt by the over-sized Aggie Ring. I thought it was a pretty great start to our afternoon.

 Me and my boys!

 

From the remodeled MSC, Century Tree, Northside campus, and even a lucky penny on Sull Ross's feet, our afternoon was a great time with family and a super fun pre birthday celebration!

What a great start to Spring Break. I am excited for perfect Sundays with family, for pre birthday celebrations, and a week of pure relaxation!

ABF in Aggieland!

Saturday morning with donuts and snacks in hand, we traveled with two fabulous Aggie couples from our ABF for a day trip to sweet home College Station. The ladies took one car while the gents another. After 3 1/2 hours of fun conversation, hang out, and photo fun, we had officially arrived.

For lunch we dinned at Blue Baker, one of my college favorites. I do love a good soup and bread bowl. After lunch, we made our way around northside and quickly to the MSC (Memorial Student Center). Before our stop for a few pieces of Aggie merchandise, we had to take a few photos under the Century Tree. It's tradition!

The MSC is gorgeous. Ray and I had the opportunity to see it several months ago, but I love seeing all the new pieces that we missed. It is amazing to see the updates, but love the old Aggie feel.

 



After our trip on campus, a new A&M shirt purchase, a few ladies photo ops, and a little shopping excursion...



...we ventured to Reed Arena to watch our Aggie Basketball team take on the Tennessee Volunteers.

 

After 4 OTs, our Ags ran out of time. But what a fun game for sure. Thank you to the Goodings and Hanks for creating more Aggie traditions and a great day trip to Aggieland.

After the game, it was time for us to say our good-byes and return home, as Ray had his marathon early the next morning in Fort Worth. It was definitely a day of tradition, friendship, and fun. I look forward to our next daytrip to Aggieland.

Our day began at 5AM and ended after midnight! What a fabulous reunion with friends! Here is to friendships and meeting every year in College Station for an Aggie game. I love these sweet people and am so thankful for their (almost) decade of friendship! It was so great to relive old days as well as make memories for years to come! W-H-O-O-P!!!!!
