I am Wildcat!!

I can't do a blog without Dylan-here he is in his big boy pants--not really potty training yet, just thinking about it!!!!!!! My cousin Whitney (future soccer star for WU), her friend Whitney, and I tailgating at the KSU game.
My mom and I at the game.


Oh, how I love Kansas State football, and K-State in general! My mom and I, yes my mom and I went to the K-State football game this weekend! It was so much fun being back in Manhattan. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for my life now, but going back makes me miss my college days! I loved just about every minute of college! I met some great friends and made wonderful memories!! I was so lucky to go to K-State when the football team was at its best! That is when I fell in love with the sport, yes my sister had to teach me all about it that first year, but I understand most of it now! My first 2 years Ashley, our friends Jaime and Amber and I would get to all the games 4 hours early, sit outside the gates then run in when they opened the gates to the stadium. We were in the 2nd row for every single game. The 4 of us wore KSU doo-rags and cheered our butts off!! We made the jumbo-tron several times!! My all time favorite was the Nebraska game when it was snowing and we beat them and got to rush the field--and I touched Quincy Morgan's shoulder-amazing to me!!! Then my last 2 years Ash would come up and we tailgated with friends and then went into the game as it was starting--also so much fun!!



Manhattan is just a happy place with wonderful people! The color purple is everywhere and the town is filled with K-State pride.

I hate to bore you, but here are some of my favorite things about my college years...

FOOTBALL games!! Loved the songs, cheers, dances, and traditions!! Amazing how they all come back to you when you are there!

Aggieville-what a place, spent many nights and lots of money there!!! That is where I fell in love with tequila and Jager shots--yuck, don't love them now-just beer please!

Education-of course the reason I was in college was so I could become a teacher-and I really did like all of my classes and walking around the beautiful campus.

Friends-I hung out with some pretty cool people in college and made some good friends, too bad we all went to different places after graduation-still talk to some, but not all. Funny how things change when we all get jobs, get married, have kids...we are all so busy with our lives!!

PURPLE-You wouldn't believe how many purple t-shirts I had in college, I still wear my KSU purple, but I no longer own 20+ purple K-State shirts, I swear in college I did!!

dinners with Ashley-every Wednesday night my sister and I went out to dinner, it was our time together and a time to catch up. Funny, we still do dinner on Wednesdays, but we have added 2 husbands and a child!!
