We had our first visitors this weekend! Ben and Taylor came to visit and go to the Mizzou game with Cyndi and me. On Friday we took a self-guided tear of Memorial Stadium and got to go where the general public is not allowed :) Ben, Taylor, and I checked out the field and even explored the Mizzou and Nebraska locker rooms. Well, I didn't go in the Nebraska locker room-there were boys in there. But it was a great time anyway.
We had our first tailgating experience and it was a great one. We spent all day Saturday with a few wrestlers and about 75 of their closest friends in their backyard! I was really impressed how the Husker fans got along with the Mizzou fans that dropped by until one guy stole a Mizzou fan's flag and burned it! They had a friendly wrestling match then they were friends again and the Mizzou fan took his crispy flag home with him haha.
When we got to the game and finally found our seats we were surrounded my family of the Missouri players because one of Ben's friends who plays for Mizzou graciously donated some tickets for us to enjoy the game. We were seated about 4 people to the left of Chase Daniel's parents and it was truly heartwarming to see how proud they were of their son. The crowd broke out into chant's such as "Chase for Heisman" and the pride was evident in his dad's face. While the rest of the crowd was chanting "Chase for Heisman," Cyndi was chanting "Chase for Cyndi." I hope his parent's heard and put in a good recommendation. :)
After the game we got finally got some legendary DeLeon's burritos and mourned the loss for the Huskers.
After putting off readings and homework the entire weekend, Cyndi and I spent ALL DAY today at a local coffee shop called the Blend (if you're ever in Lincoln PLEASE stop by, they have the friendliest staff and delicious vanilla chai lattes) reading journal articles and preparing outlines for class. Grad school takes much more time than we think it should.
As I type I am enjoying the amazing smell of Cyndi's cooking in the Kitchen. You see, we take turns cooking for each other every Monday night because it is the only night all three of us are home together and it gives us the opportunity to practice our culinary skills on each other. Today is Cyndi's turn and she is making burgers, fries, and corn on the cob yum!
Dinner is almost ready so talk to you soon.
