UT vs. OU!

Michelle knocked on my bedroom door one day after she got home from work. She told me she was looking online and saw that the Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooner’s game still had tickets for sale. I asked her how much and she said they were around $300. I thought to myself, “Yeah, that’s not happening. I don’t even spend $300 on myself in a month.” After a minute of silence she told me that she had a feeling the price would go down as it got closer to the game. This is something I’ve always wanted to do. Ever since I would eat wings and watch the game with my dad, I’ve always wanted to stand in the stadium with my fellow Longhorn fans. This is something Austin wanted to do as well, so we had planned on going together when he came home for good.

Hook Em'!
In front of the Cotton Bowl!

The tickets dropped from $300 to $100 in just two days. Michelle decided to surprise Nick and take him to the game. We bought the tickets and told Nick we were meeting up with some friends to tailgate at the stadium. I knew that if I didn’t go with Michelle and Nick, I would hear all about it for a long time. I caved and went with them. I could tell Austin was upset he wasn’t able to go, especially since this was something we wanted to do together. I’ll admit, it was a crappy thing to do, but I really wanted to go. I’ve put everything aside for him and this is just something that I decided last minute. There will be plenty of other things to do together when he comes home.
Supporting our Longhorns!
Watching the game! Or more like taking pictures!
That Friday night I went to Rally House to buy a cute UT dress! I see how decked out people get at these games so I wanted to fit in! The dress was $40, it was not exactly within my price range but I bought it anyways. I just told myself I would not buy another dress for a while. I was able to use my Longhorn earrings Nick bought me for Christmas as well as a new orange and white, studded bracelet! I was set! Michelle bought us some Longhorn tattoos to stick on as well.

Waiting for the game to start!
Before the game we spent our time walking around the fair. 

We had a blast!

We lost the game. *tear* However, i still had a ton of fun. I can't wait to experience this with Austin, because i'm sure he'll appreciate it more than i do.
