Arriving Friday we got to spend some much needed quality time with Meg, Christina, Jimmy and even Nate's parents made it down to meet us for dinner. But it was a long day with an even longer day ahead of it. So we opted out of going out in EL that night and getting to bed at a decent hour. I was so excited that we were there though, I couldn't get to sleep. Nate was really excited to have found Meg's noise cancelling headphones...
Staying with Meg & Momma Lewis meant mimosas were served in bed the next morning with the shouting of "GAMEDAY!!" Got us prepped for a day of tailgating. All we needed was our Katie and we were ready to go!
Nate's friends Ryan & JR had the tailgating spot ready to go like true champs and he was so excited to be reunited with his tailgate buddies. We enjoyed five hours of tailgating fun, mostly the girls challenging the boys to corn hole... and winning!!
We were out of Oberon and it was nearing game time so Megan, Katie and I started our walk to Dublin to wait for a table to watch the game. We opted out of getting tickets to the game, which considering the outcome we do regret. But we had plenty of fun at Dublin and were SO excited when we were notified that we indeed had a table waiting for us, right by the big screen!
At Dublin, Nate and Matt joined us. Poor Matt. He had been on campus for 3 hours before being able to find us! Our cell phones were having trouble with texts and calls coming through, so we had no idea he was there and he had no idea where we were :( But, he made it to Dublin and just in time for the game to get interesting.
The stress of the game started to get to all of us...
As well all know, the game ended in a historic way. After a gutsy hail mary, MSU got the W in the last 4 seconds of the game with an unbelievable end zone scramble. There was plenty of yelling, banging the tables, screaming, covering our eyes, and jumping up and down on the benches. Needless to say, we were too excited to take pictures of those exact moments. Surprising ourselves, we were all too wiped out after 13 hours on campus to celebrate anymore than we did. We called it a night shortly after the game, just as the lines outside began to wrap around the streets. What an amazing night, we couldn't be happier that we were there :))
The next day, we needed rest and barely had voices :) Momma Lewis, being the amazing mother that she is to all of us, knew just what we needed - Denny's! She treated us to quite the spread and it was everything we hoped it would be!
Couldn't leave without seeing little Alaina bug! She is getting so big, I can't believe it. She's crawling, climbing and so ready to talk. I love her to pieces and wish I was able to see her more often.
As it always does, these trips make us miss our family and friends even more! I was so sad I didn't get to see more family & friends this trip, especially my preggers cousin Jessica! Miss and love you and next time I see you, you will be holding your little man! CANNOT wait!!
