Our weekend!

Gregg and I went to Lubbock last Thursday to watch the Red Raiders take on Texas and to get some wedding stuff taken care of. We flew in and out of Amarillo because the flights there were so much cheaper than flying to Lubbock. So, Thursday night Gregg's parents came to pick us up from the airport and we went to have dinner at "Blue Sky" with Gregg's parents and his Aunt and Uncle who live in Canyon. We had an amazing dinner- yummy burgers and fries- and then went back to Gregg's parents house in Hale Center to stay the night.

On Friday morning we drove to Wolfforth to go meet the lady who is doing flowers for our wedding at the Church. My Mom, Gregg, and I spent a couple of hours there with her and I am super exited now that I have heard Nancy's ideas for the flowers! After we finished at the Church Gregg and I headed up to the waiting line to get in to the tailgate area where we me my little brother and some other friends. My parents had taken the RV to the waiting lot Thursday at noon so we were all at the front of the line to get into the parking lot. Tech couldn't allow people into the lot until after 5:30pm when classes let out so we had several hours of waiting to do. It was CRAZY seeing the number of RV's that were waiting to get into the parking lot!!!


Once the gates opened at 5:30pm it was an all out mad dash to get into the parking lot and claim a space. We got the most awesome space and the 6 RV's that were with us all set up camp! We camped in style for the weekend having a great grill, smoker, and big screen TV with surround sound all set up. On Saturday night they even put out a 6ft X 6ft screen and projector for anyone not going to the game to watch it on at the tailgate area.
We ate GREAT food- A LOT of great food! We had burgers, wings, jalapeno wraps, and chocolate brownies, and plenty of alcohol on Friday night. We also dressed up for Halloween and had lots of candy for the Trick or Treaters!
Mom dressed up as a Cowgirl Ghost complete with long blonde wig under her hat, a pearl necklace, and fake eye lashes!
Bailey, my niece, was a Mad Scientist
Gregg was a Pirate complete with Parrot and eye patch and I was a friendly Devil with an awesome red and black wig, red and black eye lashes, and fun red and black boa!
Pip, my brother and sister-in-law's dog even had a skeleton shirt to wear
Overall, the night was a lot of fun!!! It was GREAT seeing everyone so pumped up for the game and so excited about Tech! Stay tuned for pictures from Saturday and the game!!!
