It has been a bittersweet weekend. We make the 2 hour drive down to Columbia for what will be our last "Family Weekend" Mizzou game. We were glad to be able to see her, because her asthma has been acting up, and she is notorious for trying to ignore it until she ends up in the emergency room. And so we didn't have to rush home, we took all three dogs and crated them in her apartment (along with Sarah's dog, Ree. Yikes!)
Since there were only 2 of us this year, we went out to lunch and then walked to the stadium.
Our seats could not have been farther from Sarah's seat if we had tried. But text messaging worked, so we were able to "talk" during the game.
The Tigers played well and the game was well under control in the first half. (First touchdown after a fumble, 8 seconds into the game-that had to set some sort of record.)
We went back to Sarah's apartment for pizza and then we hugged goodbye and made the drive home. I can't believe how fast these four years have flown by.
She could go on to pursue some graduate degree, spend an obscene amount of time and money on her education and them move far away. But you could get a few more family days out of it!
