We were so excited to find out BYU would be playing Georgia Tech. Since it would be close enough for us to drive we bought tickets back in August for our anniversary present. Georgia Tech is in Atlanta so we made the 4 hour drive down in time for Andrew to attend the fireside that the football team puts on the night before they play.
On Saturday we got all dressed up in our BYU gear - my sister Amy was nice enough to send BYU shirts all the way from Provo so the girls would have proper attire. Then we took the MARTA (subway/train thing that runs through downtown ATL) to the football stadium.

When we got to the stadium I was feeling a little nervous/embarrassed/anxious about
having all three kids with us, including a 5 week old!
But as soon as we got to our seats in the BYU section we felt right at home, there were kids everywere. The lady sitting in front of us was even crazier than us, she had a 3 week old in her baby bjorn. Gotta love BYU fans.

There were a few times I didn't think
we'd make it all the way through the whole game. Luckily popcorn and cotton candy make for good entertainment. Penelope fell asleep
for the whole 3rd quarter so with her bestie unavailable Eleanor got a
little antsy so we went and walked around for a little while. All in
all I think we all had a really good time and best of all, we have some
new cougar fans in the house!

I couldn't help but dig up this old picture (and reminisce about how much skinnier and blonder I used to be). This was the last BYU game Andrew and I went to. It was in the fall of 2007. We used to be so footloose and fancy free back then :)
Crazy to think what a difference 5 years makes!

you crazy byu fans!! with a 5 week old in tow! :-)
i'll never forget at your wedding rehearsal dinner, andrew's dad described how much of a die hard byu football fan andrew is, and that his tough question to you was 'would you'd stay til the end of a game in a blizzard when byu was up by 20 points?' and your answer was 'yes'. Girl -- you just proved yourself!! hahahah major props to you!
but your kids sound like they did well at the game for that long and i can't believe pen actaully napped! thats amazing.
