A beautiful sea of maroon

Despite my best efforts at scouring Craigslist and eBay, we weren't able to go to the Aggie game last weekend at the new Cowboys stadium.  However, we were able to finally introduce the kids to the Aggie Band and march-in and what it feels like to be in a sea of maroon.  I had that odd giddy feeling in my stomach as we were driving there.  And all of a sudden I had an urge to search frantically for my ID card or remind myself of when step-off was or to find my parents on the quad while we staked out a spot behind the basses or make sure my denim shirt and floral skirt were ready to go (ah, the memories).  It was so much fun to be there with Cara, Jack & Jo, and then my SIL and nieces and nephew showed up and then we ran into some old college friends and I felt like I should have been in the MSC.  If we had just stopped at Freebirds on our way there instead of McDonald's it would have been absolutely perfect.
