Texas Football!

We love Texas football!

There are several large universities in Texas, but the two that have a standing Thanksgiving date is:

Texas A&M University
and
University of Texas.

One school is located in Bryan College Station,
the other is in Austin.
Both schools are prestigious and very different.
Here is a short video about Texas A&M University.





My children decided to attend Texas A&M so our entire family has become loyal Aggie supporters.
There's a spirit there that can not be explained, you just have to experience it!
AND experiencing it is truly an amazing event.
The Aggies have a saying that they never lose a game, they just run out of time.
Well, over the past few years, they've run out of time many times.
BUT...
this year they have had many successes.
The last game was against Nebraska, and the Aggies won.
It was a big win for TAMU
and a hard lost for Nebraska {sorry my Nebraska friends,}
It was a total Maroon Out!
90+ thousand people attended.
 Looking at the stands, it was a sea of maroon.

My favorite Aggies

This Thursday is the big game.

So, after the turkey and apple pie, 

our family will all be gathering together for the big game.

We're hoping for a win!

Three or More Tuesday

HOWDY! This post is a bit unusual...I have three pictures that I'd like to share ~ all on the same theme...on this Three or More Tuesday.

Please visit Tam at The Gypsy's Corner for more three-or-more posts. They are all unique and great fun to browse.

My son graduated from Texas A & M University in May. What an experience! Seeing an arena full of graduates, 1800+, with the world just waiting for them to take~hold~and~run is something that takes your breath away. Pomp and Circumstance brings chills and that special thank you bear hug from your child is enough to start the tears just a rolling...

My child is the proudest member of the Fighting Texas Aggie Class of '09 and his mother is a proud Aggie Mom. I attended my last Aggie Mom meeting tonight {sob, sob} and received his graduating gift from the club. It's a beautiful paperweight. If you are not familiar with Aggie traditions, their ring is one that is known throughout the world. The paperweight is a replica of the ring.

My son wasn't in town to receive this gift because he has joined a firm in Dallas, Texas.

{YEA! He has a job!!!}

So I accepted for him. What a proud moment for a mom!


I didn't attend TAMU and didn't realize what a great school it actually is...It has been an amazing experience for not only my son, but our family as well. Whoop!
