Homecoming: Utah State vs. Weber

Yay!! It is finally football season and time to watch the Aggies play at home. Our first home game was our homecoming. This had Brian's new boss in a fit and so he didn't get to enjoy too much of everything with the rest of us, but he did have a fun time when he was able to slip in.
We began the morning early. One thing I have always wanted to do is run in a race. I want to do at least one 5K, a 10K, and then a half Marathon. Although I have had this goal for a long time I had never ran in any race or much further then 2 miles. So Brian agreed to help me meet my goal and we signed up for the 5K they do every homecoming. I walked a few times but realized it was because I was frustrated with my headphones falling out which would then make me feel frustrated about running and I would walk. But I did a great job running and am proud of my 35 minute time. We are thinking of signing up for a Halloween 5K and I hope to do a little better on the walking part.

We stayed long enough to win one prize, then headed home, tidied up some, got ready and headed to the Homecoming Parade. This was my first time ever going to one of these parades, so it was fun that Jan loves parades enough to get us to go to one.
After the parade we relaxed some at my house while Brian went to work with the Men's Basketball team and showing a video to some hopefully future players. This took longer then we thought it would and ended up walking to campus to get some new gear for the Hafer family. Once they got there gear we headed to Beehive Grill for some lunch. Brian was able to join us, but he had to be quick and left before we were even halfway done.
When lunch was over we headed back to my place to relax and get everything ready for the game. Once we felt ready we went to the tailgate and gave Brian's other family their tickets so they could go find some seats. We loved the Twinkies, hot dogs, creamies, and water we got at the tailgate. Plus it was fun to see Spencer try his hand at throwing a football with Kaden strapped to his front.

Then it was game time. I loved the atmosphere in the stadium this year. The fans were loud and ready to be there. The game ended up being a sell out. It was packed......until after the first half when it decided to start pouring rain. This is when we left too, but we had a great time and knew the Aggies were going to win since it was 49-0 with only one first down for Weber. Not a day to be a Wildcats fan, sadly.

First kickoff at home of the season

Slept through his first football game. The next one they come to we will get a picture with Big Blue for sure.

When all was said and done it was a great kickoff to my birthday. Then I spent the day of my birthday relaxing with Brian which we don't get to do very often. It was the perfect day/weekend.
