More Baylor Bears

The Bears had such an awesome season that they found themselves in the Elite Eight during March Madness!! How awesome is that??

One very special person to our family found this extremely EXCITING . . . so exciting that she bought tickets for the big game(s) in Houston and made not one, but TWO trips to Houston in three days!! Any ideas who that might be???

Not only did she go, but she took along two of her favorite kiddos and they were happy to put on their Baylor gear and cheer for the Bears!!

Emily took Alex, Reagan, and Shane to Houston on Friday, March 26th to watch the Bears kill St. Mary's. That earned them an opportunity to play again on Sunday.

So, after early church, Emily, Reagan, Alex, and I loaded up and headed south. It was a very fun trip, including Sonic onion rings and Dairy Queen blizzards!!

Getting to our seats proved to be a little difficult as Emily and the boys weren't really that happy with where our actual seats were. So....we had to do a little sneaky, possible illegal stunts to get into a section with better seats. It was VERY stressful for me hanging out with these rule-breakers. My favorite Emily quote during this time of the day was this ... "It's not like you have to sit in YOUR seat when there's all these empty ones." This was the line she was planning on using when asked by security why we weren't in our seats!! I almost wish we would've gotten caught so I could have heard Emily say that!!

But finally, we got to some seats that we hoped we were going to get to stay in and settled in for a great game. The biggest negative about our upgraded seats was that they were right in the middle of Duke territory!! This fact is kind of fun when Baylor was doing well and was stomping on Duke. But, in the end, it didn't work out so well for us as Duke ended the game ahead of the Bears.

It was a somber drive home, but we made it and were all very happy that we'd made the trip. It was a super fun day!! Thanks to Emily for sharing her excitement with us!!
