WHOOP! for the Aggie football and the first win of the season!
On Thursday night Matt headed to Shiner because he had to be in College Station a little before noon to meet his old Department Head from when we were in college. Jennifer and Gary (his sister and her husband) were headed up Friday morning to visit some old college friends and so he rode with them so we wouldn't have two vehicles plus theirs in CS since I had to work until 5 on Friday. He had a good lunch and then the partying for Jennifer's birthday began! I didn't get to CS until a little after 10 and met up with them at Dudley's. We then headed to the Chicken where we ran into a few friends from college and had a great time visiting. After closing the Dixie Chicken down, we headed for the hotel.
On Saturday morning we slept late and got up and headed to Los Nortenos in Bryan for breakfast and then headed back to the hotel to get dressed for the game. Just so happened that there was a tent sale going just a few parking lots over so we headed over there and picked up a few Christmas presents. We then headed back to the hotel and met up with some friends of Jennifer's from college and went to enjoy a few frosty beverages at Taco Cabana. We then started a LONG trek from Taco C to the Dixie Chicken for a little pre-game fun. We had a few drinks in the Chicken and then we headed over to the Dry Bean Saloon for a few yummy shots! On the way back to the Chicken I ran into a few friends/cousins from the Rowena area - Blake, Bret, and Brad. (woah...all three B's, just realized that!) I haven't seen Brad since he was laying in ICU a few years ago after an acccident a gas pump. Blake and Bret - not really sure when the last time I saw them was. Come to find out that Blake is living just down the road from Matt and I in Junction and has been for a little over a month. We also met up with Brianne and Kit and had a few drinks with them.
We headed back to the Dry Bean right before we left to head to the stadium. The game was great. We won 41-6! (which means that I got to give Matt lots of kisses!) WHOOP! After the game we headed back over to the Chicken and ran into even more friends and thoroughly enjoyed visiting with each of them.
On Sunday morning we got up and headed to Shiner for the Shiner Church Picnic. It was great to see Matt's family as well as our friends in Shiner. We drank some more beer and had a wonderful meal of Shiner Picnic stew, sausage, and the traditional kettle fried chicken with trimmings and just visited all afternoon/evening.
On Monday we enjoyed a good homecooked meal by Matt's mom and then visited with his Grandma. We hated to have to get back on the road and leave family behind but had a great visit. And thank God that with as many miles as we traveled in separate vehicles that neither of us had a wreck or saw one either!
p.s. I'm kind of disappointed that we didn't get to sight in my new rifle (see post 'August' below) but will hopefully get to do that soon!
'Til next time...
