BYU game!

Trent and I got lucky and scored some sweet tickets to the BYU/OSU game last Saturday. We weren't going to go but someone who was very generous offered to pay for our tickets! How awesome is that?! And guess where our seats were?? Second row on the 20 yard line!! Someone we got some season ticket seats. Talk about awesome. We were right behind the BYU team which was super cool. BYU is by far our favorite college team. Ducks next =) My mom was awesome enough to watch Kelsey for a whole 12 hours. WOW! I have never been away from my baby for so long. It was kinda hard. It was a good thing the game was good so I didn't get too distracted thinking about Kelsey. But we didn't have any reception where we were so I was kinda freaking out that I couldn't text or call my Mom and ask how Kelsey was. That is normal, right? =D I just love my little girl. She did amazing by the way! Didn't even miss me! =( Anyway, back to the game.
We got there pretty early and parked at the stake center in Corvallis. We were meeting some people from our ward and some other members from the stake so we could tailgate some. So fun! They had people selling BYU stuff, food, BYU cheerleaders and Cosmo (the mascot) and just lots of fun times. It is so awesome to be a member of the church and be around such great, friendly people. It is the best kind of atmosphere there is. Made me miss Rexburg a little =) We had some awesome chili dogs, potato salad, cheesecake, and rolls. Life was good! We got to mingle for a bit and enjoy the atmosphere before we had to walk to the stadium.
The stake center was about 2 miles. Maybe less. So it wasn't like it was close or anything. But it was free parking and not so much traffic by the school. It wasn't that big of a deal to walk. We could use it actually. So we walked there and sat in our seats and watched the game! It really was fun to be that close to the team. I got some pretty awesome pictures. And we won! So that is even more awesome because we were sitting all around Beaver fans. It could have gotten ugly if we lost. lol. I really didn't want to be mocked or yelled at. Instead I got to yell at all them Beaver fans. Haha! I can get pretty feisty when it comes to sports. Not gonna lie. My kids are gonna hate me when they are older. Let's just say that......
When the game was all over we walked back to the stake center and left. I would say we walked 3-4 miles all together. And we stood almost the entire game since we were in the front and pretty much head level with the players. We had to stand most the time so we could see around the players on the sidelines. When we got back to the car our legs were tired and we were ready to rest and go home to our baby. Traffic was terrible!!!!! Oh so terrible!! But I didn't think it was going to be easy to get out of there either. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get home? I think. So an extra hour I guess. Maybe it took longer. I can't remember. All I know is that it took a long time. But it was worth it!! Had so much fun!!! We were pretty lucky to be able to go do that. And by ourselves too. Even though I missed Kelsey like crazy =)
