5 and 0, or how I spent Saturday

Confession time. I have lived in Kansas for a while now. I lived here as a kid. And then I moved back here as a somewhat adult. Both my parents went to Kansas State. My husband holds dual-degrees from Kansas State. I worked at the official bookstore for KSU and recieved my MA in literature from K-State, but, until yesterday, I had yet to partake in perhaps the most social of all the college rituals. The football game. Don't worry. Russ took care of it! As a very belated, unplanned birthday celebration for him, we went to the game yesterday and roundly enjoyed K-State's continued drive for football excellence and another win. This time against Missouri! Woohoo! It was a wonderful date, and thanks to my sweet friend L, we were able to enjoy everything, knowing our kids were having a blast somewhere else! Thank you again Miss Livie!!!!

notice the ponchos. It was October weather, grey, cool, and damp. It kept spitting at us. Thankfully, even though we were instructed to leave the umbrellas out of the stadium, the couple sitting next to us shared their extra plastic ponchos!

Russ really, really, likes sports. He played pretty much everything his high school offered. And in college he was on multiple intermural teams. It was awesome to see him having so much fun.

the awkward, we took our own picture pose. And you can't even see my cute headband.

we had awesome seats. And were directly across from the student section. Our kids cheer often and loudly! K-S-U!!! K-S-U!!

After the game, we ducked in for a bowl of soup, hot coffee, and a couple pastries. Strawberries and cream scone? Yes, please!

I love this guy! I never get bored of being with him. And he is such a patient teacher, good thing, as I doubt I will ever really understand football...

but who cares about the rules when you get to wear awesome tee shirts like this?  Okay, so this is not what I wore to the game.  I wore this today to celebrate our victory. But still, Willy the Wildcat is making a comeback and not just on varsity apparel! Watch out Big 12, we may have had a few off years, but it looks like we are gonna give ya'll a run for your money!
