Go Bears!!

Football season has started around our house, and being married to a loyal Baylor fan, we are in the football spirit! This is the 3rd year we have had season tickets, and we love to take a quick weekend trip to Waco to cheer on the Bears. It's a great excuse to spend time not only together in the car on the way down, but also with great friends. For the second year in a row, our community group (plus some other friends) have gone in together for a tailgate spot--it's so much fun! Unfortunately Matt has had to work most of the game days, so we've had to miss the pre-game tailgates. But, it's a great spot after the game to hang out until the traffic dies down. We decided not to take Will to the games--he's not the best traveler these days, all of the games have been night games, and I think it might be impossible for him to sit for such a long period of time (he just wants to run around & explore these days), so he's stayed home with a sitter while we have our "date nights". Even though we love spending time with him, it's been wonderful to have some time just the two of us--especially right before baby girl gets here.

Hands down, this has been the most exciting season yet! I just hope we can keep it up. So far, we are 3-0 (crazy!!), and we're ranked #14 (even more crazy!!). When Matt & I were at Baylor, to say the team wasn't very good is an understatement. It's really fun now that we've stuck with them through the years to see a winning team--the crowd is great and everyone is really excited about the winning streak. The best game this season (so far) has been our home opener against TCU. We were not expecting to do well--especially after the terrible game last year--but somehow we managed to win 50-48. We were ahead the entire game and almost lost it in the 4th quarter, but luckily we ended up on top. Sic 'Em!

The scoreboard: Baylor-50, TCU-48

Celebrating after the game: Becky, Rene, Candace, Katie, me

Last week was my last game to go to for this season. I'm going on 34 weeks, and with my history of having Will at 34 weeks and out-of-town, I'm a little nervous to hop in the car for any more trips. Even though she will more than likely go to full term and we still have 6 more weeks until her due date, I don't want to jinks it. Most of the games in October are away games anyway, except the one on our anniversary--and as much as I love the Bears, a football game isn't the most romantic way to celebrate 6 years of marriage. :)  So until baby girl gets here, we are not taking any more road trips and are going to stay put in Dallas. However, after she gets here, I have no doubt that my fanatical Baylor fan of a husband will still make it to a few games! :)
