Mountaineer Game

Yesterday Danny and I went to Morgantown to watch the WV Mountaineers play Villanova for the opening game of the season. It was a great time and we won 48-21. Mom, Dad, and Betsy watched the kids (and the dog) for us. We didn't get home until midnight, so they stayed the night. It was Phoebe's first time staying the night, and she did great! I missed them and picked them up early this morning. It was so nice to have the whole day with just the two of us though. We haven't been alone for that long for years. It was a lot of fun. It gives you such pride in West Virginia to be there. I love the excitement in the air. There were over 60,000 people, a sell out crowd.

(I put Country Roads back on top of my playlist, that's the song they play as everyone is leaving the stadium after a win.)

GO MOUNTAINEERS!
