WE CHEERED LOUD! And, boy, was it fun! :) Jason and I headed to Austin on Friday morning for the OSU versus Texas football game. We went with some friends from dental school, Bryan and Erin, and had a great time. We made it in really good time (thanks to smooth traffic and slight lead in the foot) and went to Hula Hut on Lake Austin for dinner. Palm trees in October are a nice sight! The food was great - and frozen margaritas! Off to the infamous Sixth Street to meet up with other Poke fans that ventured south at the Blind Pig Pub, and it really was impressive how many people showed up by the night's end (which for us was pretty early!). After heading to our AWESOME hotel, we took advantage of playing Nintendo Wii in the lobby. It was my first time and I had a lot of fun bowling. Baseball and Tennis weren't so hot... but it was fun.
Saturday was a lot of hanging out with fellow fans, and then walking to the game. What a huge stadium! Our team tried really hard. You can always say "if this or that would have, should have, could have..." yes, we could have pulled out a win, but we did play them tough - and down to the last play AT HOME! Way to go, Cowboys! I have to give it to the Texas fans that I have only heard negative about - really only one drunk student yelled negative things at us - everyone else was either quiet or had nice comments to say about our team. Good hosts, to us anyways (I know OU and A&M fans would probably disagree). Did you hear it was the largest crowd EVER in Texas history to watch any kind of football game? Yes, it was VERY loud, but the OSU fans did hold our own.
Should I mention that Mr. Lead Foot got a ticket on the way home going 80 (which was actually lucky! ha). It was Bryan, not Jason.
Now it's off to unpacking and doing laundry and paying bills - wow, reality check. Thanks to GG and Bubba for watching the kiddos so we could have our first "us" weekend in four and a half years (aka since kids).
We met Mr. Mason (otherwise "Little Mason" around our house as Grant's best friend is named Mason - he's "Big Mason") before leaving Edmond as they were in town - cutie pie!
Hope everyone has a great Halloween week! Wags the Dog and Cowboy are looking forward to Friday's events!

We looked for you on TV! Our Cowboys did great and it was an awesome (though stomach-upsetting) game to watch. So glad you guys had a good kid-free time (sounds like heaven!).
