We went to Mandy’s house for New Year’s Eve and a vendor of hers gave her awesome tickets to the Alamo Bowl on the 29th. It was definitely my all time favorite sporting event. I’m not a football girl but this game was a blast. BU has had such great year in so many sports and it’s been really fun to follow.
At one point they brought out a huge flag and sang “Proud to be an American” while showing a slideshow of all of the fallen heroes from San Antonio. I of course cried. It was an emotional day to begin with and it was very touching. Just seeing the pictures of the young guys with their families was heart wrenching. We are so blessed to have such freedom.

It was such a close game right to the very end that it was so exciting. All of us were hoarse the next day from yelling.
The last minute. . .
And the Bears win!
Jay and I out without the kids. . .that alone is pretty amazing!
