Iowa State Football

Alli and I attended our first Iowa State Football game last night. I was nervous about the logistics of the evening...not the actual game. It is amazing how much fun it is to watch a game when you know your husband's job doesn't depend on the outcome. :) Alli and I walked to the game with Grace. Thankfully Grace had attended a few games last year when she was in town so she helped us navigate the thousands of people. We watched Matt and the entire staff and team walk off the buses and begin their "spirit walk". It was cool to watch the entire tailgate parking lot lining the path for them to walk to the stadium entrance. We tried to scream for Matt's attention but the crowd was really loud. We tailgated for 2 hours and then went to the game. Alli was a trooper!! We left the house at 4:45 pm and walked into the house with Matthew at 11:30 pm. I am just like my mom and had a headache the entire time. :) I am glad the first game is over and now we can plan better for the next home game. I mentioned Grace earlier...she is a fiance of a Defensive G.A. Nick Kaley. She is amazing and is so helpful with Alli. We are blessed to have her. She took a picture of me and Alli and I will post once I receive it. I can't wait to share this experience with family and friends!!
