Go Aggies!

We had a chance to go to our first football game as a family, so we took it!  Beau said, "How fun!  It's Evie's first football game."  I then said, "Yeah.  And, it's our first football game together too."  Beau and I have never attended a college game together since we've been married.  That's kind of crazy for me to even type because I grew up going to college games.  However, when I married Beau he said that he didn't love the crowds and logically stated that he can see the game much clearer on his TV screen.  I suppose he has some very valid points, but there is definitely a feeling at the stadium that is not felt at home on the couch.  So, I was excited that we were actually going to go to a game!

And, as if it couldn't get any better, we were going to watch both of my collegiate teams play.  I got my undergraduate degree at Utah State University (Go Aggies!) and my Master's degree at the University of Utah (Go Utes!), so this game was definitely a thrill.  I have to say that I lean a little closer to the USU side because I'm an Aggie at heart and I love Logan . . . which is where the game was played.

However, Beau got both his undergraduate and Master's degrees at the U.  So, you can guess where his loyalty lies.  But, if it means anything to you (because it certainly does to me), he admitted that he's also at Aggie at heart . . . even though he didn't go to school there.  That makes my heart happy!

We tried to represent both teams well.  Beau wore red for the Utes, I wore blue for the Aggies, and Evie wore both colors. 

While Evie doesn't mind noise, she DEFINITELY doesn't like to be startled.  Going from a quiet crowd to an explosive crowd without warning put this adorable girl in tears.  She hated the loud, yelling fans as well.  So, Evie and I spent nearly the entire game up above the stands.  We could catch glimpses of the game on the game screen, and the fans made it obvious if there was something good or bad happening.  Best of all, there was a lot of people watching which both Evie and I thoroughly enjoyed.

Beau came up to see us at half time.  (He was sitting with some of his work clients and co-workers during the game.)  We had fun together while he was with us.  As you can see, Evie was ALL smiles while Beau bounced her on his knee.  And, I was all smiles because I ate Aggie ice cream while he was there.

Bronco, Jody, and HaLee met us in Logan to watch the game too.  Bronco & Jody are also Aggie fans (oh, and they fell in love while both attending USU).  Good news is that the Aggies pulled out the win in OT and we were all pretty thrilled!  We stayed the night in Logan, woke up, and all went to breakfast together.  

We had a super fun time and this will be a weekend we'll always remember!
