Weekend Shenanigans

What a busy weekend I had full of all kinds of fun stuff.  I can check another item off of my fall to-do list. On Saturday, I woke up bright and early after getting off of work at midnight and headed up to Aaron's house to take off to Manhattan for the K-State football game.  

Now, before I delve any further, let me explain myself.  I am a University of Kansas fan through and through. It is my alma mater and I will forever be a Jayhawk, much to my future husband's dismay.  That being said, Aaron is a Kansas State University fan and will forever be a Wildcat.  It's challenging, but I love him despite his faults.  Anyways, Aaron is a season ticket holder for K-State football and, being the good Kansas girl and fiance that I am, I was more than willing to attend a KSU football game and cheer for them because they are another Kansas school.  I even wore purple.  However, never will I ever be caught dead rooting for the Wildcats when they play my Jayhawks.  I bleed crimson and blue.

So, on Saturday, we headed to Manhattan to tailgate with some friends, eat some BBQ, and watch some football.  It was my first game of the season because I have worked on every other game day and what a beautiful day for football.  The weather was perfect and the crowd was wild.  It was Harley day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and while they were riding on the field, one of the driver's had fans in the stadium hold up signs and he proposed to his girlfriend; it was super sweet.  Despite their loss, I still had a glorious time.  By the time we got back to town, I was starving so we headed into Aaron's brother's restaurant and enjoyed some grub before heading home.

On Sunday, we met up with one of Aaron's friends for lunch and then headed over to the farm.  Aaron was working on the combine while I enjoyed some quality time with my future mother-in-law chatting and reading magazines while watching the Chiefs win their sixth game in a row!  Then around 5:45, we headed over to the church for their annual soup supper.  

Now, I'm new to the small town churches, but man do those folks come together for their events.  I attended last year as well and the food is delectable, the company is excellent, the games are fun, and the auction items are superb.  So much work goes into putting it together and it is well worth it.  I had myself a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a hotdog sans the chili, and the best slice of peach pie ever before heading over to the gym to have some fun.  

It was a busy, but fun, weekend and now I am rested up and ready to begin this work week.  Hope you all had a great weekend!
