Day 3: Opportunities

My husband played football for MSU. One neat thing from that is every year he is invited back for the homecoming game. We are given 2 tickets for the game and can attend some events put together for the alumni. It is something we look forward to every fall.

This year we invited our daughter, Anna, and her boyfriend, Josh, to go with us. It made it even more fun since Josh had never been to a college football game.
We showed them around a little bit of the campus that included the Spartan statue.

Another fun part was Mark called earlier in the week to see if he could get some on field passes. He was able to get one for both Josh and Anna. It allowed them to be on the field while the team warmed up for the game.

Other then the fact that it started raining in the first quarter and continued the entire game we all still really enjoyed ourselves. ~Happy Saturday!

Oh Happy Day!

Last week Saturday I got to celebrate with my son a reward for all his hard work... he earned his letter jacket from MSU!

It was so fun to share that honor with him. They recognized all of the athletes that earned a letter jacket during the 2010-2011 academic year by calling them out on the field during halftime at the football game.


As big as he is you would think I could find him but in the sea of green I was having a hard time so I was glad when he looked back at me for a moment.


Here he is coming back off the field. His coach shared with me that Zack has the largest varsity jacket they have made and that is including football players. Zack had to point out that his jacket is one size bigger than his father's is also. Boys! Everything is a competition.


The weather was gorgeous for an afternoon football game and we had front row seats which made the day even more exciting.


This was before the game started. You can see how close we were and how beautiful of a day it was.

Here is Zack and his teammate Derrick. They are the only 2 guys on the track team that earned a jacket last season. Zack is on the throws team and Derrick is a pole vaulter. Way to go guys!
