Lady Aggies Championship Game - he went!

After watching the Lady Aggies beat Baylor and Stanford, Hubby got the itch to go to the championship game. He called the house Monday afternoon and asked if I was interested in going. Boy howdy was I interested! But the kids had a lot going on and I just couldn't find it within myself to leave town in a matter of hours and figure out how to get them to all the places they needed to go and get all the things done that they needed to get done.

My biggest concern was that Hubs wouldn't go if I said no. I told him as much and he said he was going to ask his dad to go with him. Now if you haven't met his dad, he is a HUGE Aggie fan. Taking a trip like this is not necessarily something he would do at the last minute and I know it thrilled him to death to go with his son.

My only request was that Hubby take a picture of himself and his dad at the game... and that he bring me a t-shirt. They flew in, stayed in a really nice hotel, went to yell practice at the team hotel, and arrived at the game early. The game proved to be all he hoped it would be... very exciting... lots of bad calls... and he sat across the aisle from the Notre Dame section.

Here's the pic of our guys... taken by Oren Martin! It's so fun to fun into people you know at these kinds of things!

And here's the celebration!!!

No, no picture of my t-shirt. They sold out just as they got to the front of the line. No worries... I got my own first thing the next day.

Gig 'em!

aggie game day trifle

My sweet mother-in-law gave me a trifle bowl for my birthday. (She also gave me some cool red Kitchenaid accessories and some very yummy recipes for trifles...) I think she must have sneaked a peek at my wishlist. A wishlist that no one knew existed!! She was very surprised to learn that I'd been wanting one.

Well, this bowl has been sitting on my counter for three weeks, staring at me, begging to be used. And in a moment of creativeness, I had an idea... an ORIGINAL idea for once. I would make an Aggie trifle. Maybe I started a new tradition around here... I mean, with chocolate cake, cheesecake pudding, Cool Whip, and raspberries, I can't go wrong, can I??

Here are the ingredients:
  • Red velvet cake (this was my original idea but couldn't get it so I used a chocolate cake mix and a bunch of red food coloring to make it maroon)
  • Cheesecake pudding (2 boxes, I used the sugar free kind)
  • Cool Whip (8 oz., thawed)
  • Raspberries (I used frozen, but fresh would be good, too!)
Layer squares of cake, pudding, Cool Whip, raspberries. Repeat but end with Cool Whip and garnish with raspberries.

Gig 'em Aggies, and BTHO UAB!
