Cotton Bowl Weekend

Sorry it’s been a few days since I last blogged. We have been a bit busy getting my hubby to leave on a job for 4-8 weeks. It’s like moving him but with just his clothes. The poor man doesn’t have that many to begin with or at least that is what I thought until we started packing. He is so stubborn he thinks he can take everything in 1 suitcase. We are not through so we shall see. It’s going to be different with him gone as I have not been alone for that long since 8-22-1984. With us being empty nesters I am going to have to find things to keep me busy or I may go crazy. I will be flying out to see him at one point and in between I will be working on a baby shower for a sweet dear friend’s daughter Lauren and a bridal shower for my God Daughter Lauren. Just a thought Lauren was a popular name back in the 80’s as I have a daughter n law Lauren, 2 friends with daughters name Lauren and then my God Daughter. Guess I might have to # them to keep track.

However before we worked and were lazy this weekend watching the Texas and the rain we went to Aggie land aka The Hayes Family in Willis. My God Daughter went to Texas A&M as well as her finance and her dad Rick is a big Sooner Fan with all his brothers so you can only imagine how the night began. Since I didn’t go to school there but both Lauren my Son Trey love the Aggies I usually hope they win. So from Kingwood to Willis Larry and I stopped and searched for an A&M shirt to surprise Lauren with and can you believe we never found one. I was not a happy camper and neither was Larry for having to stop so much. Guess he really loves me after all, so I went in my Rockets gear because I do LOVE my Rockets. We had such a good time with them and their friends Kelly and Darren, the food and drinks were great even though we had no clue how to make a frozen daiquiri or pina colada. But put 3 Aggies together and man do they come out Great. Before you think I thought she was a Christian and she is drinking well “Yes” we are all Christian and as 1 of the men informed us the Rum goes in the drink; guess we didn’t use what we were supposed to use so can we say almost virgin drinks. This was all fun however there was a Bet made between Rick and Debbie made before we all got there. Rick bet Debbie that if the Aggies lost she would jump in their pool and Rick would jump if the Sooners lost. Remember we live in Texas and even though we don’t get snow it does get cold. The outside temp was about 42 degrees and Rick said the pool 50 degrees. So to this Texas girl that’s cold and I would not want to be the one to lose. If you watch the news’s you should already know who had to jump in the cold pool water and it was not an Aggie. It was a blast to egg it on as Rick was not really happy at all that his Sooner’s lost. Let me set the record straight he does like the Aggies just not when they play the Sooners. They were season ticket holders while Lauren was in school. We videotaped it and took pictures and below are some of them. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them!!!

Love you all to the moon and back.
