The Regular Season Is Over

Last Friday our regular season came to an end. We're bowl eligible so we have one more game of the season, but we won't find out who, where, or when we're playing until this coming Sunday. I have a few places I'd love to go, but I'll be happy with anywhere :) 

Two weeks ago we played at Baylor. We were able to bus up Saturday morning with a few other families, but we had to be there at 9:30 for a 2:30 kick off, so it was a long day. 

We arrived around 11, so we sat on the bus for a while and the kids tried playing hide and seek. I'm not sure how they managed that on a charter bus, but they did. We eventually got off and walked around. The big kids gave the little kids piggy back rides. 

These girls loved being together. 

We eventually made it in to the stadium and to our seats. 

It was suppose to be in the 60s, so I figured we'd be cold, but we were in the sun so the weather was perfect, despite the sun being in our eyes. 

Lots and lots of cheering happened. 

as well as some tablet playing.

and reading. 

Baylor has had a great season, and we didn't come away with a W, but we did go to the field to hug players and coaches after the game. 

I posted this on Instagram, but our team went over to sing The Eyes of Texas as they do after every game, and unfortunately, they had to do it in front of Baylor's student section. The student's were taunting and unkind (which is to be expected) but you could feel the defeat on our players. All the while, Adalyn was standing there with her horns held high in front of all of Baylor's fans.

You'll always have people wanting to tear you down, but you keep doing you and hold your head up high. I was so grateful for the lesson she taught me that day. 

Friday, we kicked off at 11 am against Texas Tech. Since the girls were at my mom's I was flying somewhat solo. I had invited some Young Living friends to come to a game, and they asked to come to this game, so they were there too and it was fun hanging out with them. 

And we finished the season with a win. 

We're so thankful to be here at Texas and the traditions of this school and team are not lost on us.

We're looking forward to the bowl, and then we'll be glad for a tiny little break before we do it all again.
