Notre Dame, GO IRISH!








We had the awesome opportunity to go up to South Bend yesterday to attend the Notre Dame football game, and what a game it was! We got up there about 2 1/2 hours before the game, because we wanted to walk around and take in the beautiful fall day, and all of the scenary. I am a HUGE Notre Dame fan, but have never been to a game! Ryan went last year, but couldn't wait to take me back. We were extremely fortunate to have been given tickets from my brother Brandon to attend, if you don't know someone with tickets, you will be on a waiting list for years! We walked around fora while, and went to the bookstore so we could pick up a few things, it was huge and packed! We had lunch in this enormous heated tent, with flat screen televisions everywhere, it was like nothing I had ever seen! After lunch it was time for the kickoff, which led into a very action packed game. Our seats were amazing they were 28 rows up from the end zone! It was a very good game that went into triple overtime, with everyone on their feet the entire time. It didn't end so sweet for us though, we lost another one! Notre Dame 44 Navy 46
Oh yeah one more cool thing, the real Rudy was there! Anyone who has seen the movie Rudy knows exactly who I am talking about! Everyone was holding up signs and cheering for him!

Oh yeah, we went out to dinner with the Schoolcrafts on Friday night-- they treated all of us to dinner and icecream(maybe thats why im not weighing in)... they r soo sweet!! I'll post pics later of out night. We hassled them about the game too. We had Lucas in his Pats hat and we pulled out this HUGE Pats mug and set it in the middle of the table. It was funny! They have really adopted our kids as their own grandkids and it's been a HUGE blessing!!
