Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck!

Last weekend Cody and I made our first visit back to College Station since we graduated!  We went up to watch the game against Oklahoma and were very glad to have made the trip for a game that we won! 33-19.  Whoop!  Cody was extremely ecxcited to say the least.  We really enjoyed our weekend!  We joined up with our friends Jared and Stehpanie and watched the game with them, as well as enjoying Midnight Yell and some meals with the Adams and Sue and Steve.  I don't think I've gone to a Midnight Yell since my freshman year!  I was glad we went.

Now as much as we enjoyed our trip there was a pretty big down side to it all... at least for me.  The walking.  It was WAY too much.  I guess we forgot how large campus is!  We parked by the stadium but then wanted to go meet up with some (other) friends, the Nichols, at a tailgate.  Well their tailgate was just about the farthest away it possibly could have been.  It took Cody and me forever to walk (and by walk for myself I mean half limp and half crutch) over there and my leg was already worn out and sore and I felt exhausted.  And he was trying to be sweet about it, but I could tell Cody was getting fairly annoyed and frustrated at having to walk so slow to stay by me.  I felt bad.  Anyways.  We weren't quite sure how we'd be getting back to the stadium, as I wasn't sure I could make it (at least not within a month's time) and it was clear Cody didn't want to walk back waiting with me at a snail's pace.  So, Steve and Cody had the idea to balance me up on a bike (thanks for another friend at the tailgate who graciously let me borrow his bike) and they steered and pushed me a good portion of the distance.  Let me tell you... it was a good idea and necessary because my leg was already so sore... but I felt   r i d i c u l o u s !  People were looking, I was nervous and off balance, and I kept grabbing tightly onto each of them thinking I was going to fall off.  I'm sure we were quite an odd sight!  I wish we had a picture of that ordeal!  Actually, maybe I'm glad we don't lol!

Anyways.  We enjoyed time with friends, a great game, and ate food that we've missed!  If you know Cody, or at least knew him at A&M, you know he LOVES Layne's.  I mean loves.  He has on several occasions seriously considered driving the 3 hours to College Station just for lunch at Layne's and then to drive back.  Fortunately so far I've always been able to talk him out of it.  If you aren't familiar with it, Layne's is a local hole in the wall type restaurant that serves... chicken fingers.  Not my type of meal, but one of Cody's absolute favorites.  So of course we ate there twice.  The restaurant I miss from College Station is Rosa's Cafe.  While it's not local to College Station, I'm still allowed to miss it since we don't have any here in SA.  It is the only place where I like chicken tacos!  And I really do love theirs.  I ate there twice : )  Cody and I were both happy.

So that was our little weekend trip.  Aggie football, friends, family, and food.  Too much walking with my leg still, but definitely a good enjoyable time.  Thank you Sue and Steve for getting us the tickets! 

(I'm sad I don't have any pictures at all from the trip to post!  My dumb camera was out of batteries as usual.  Sorry!)
