Happy Game Day Missouri Fans!! It’s the first game of the season and I was inspired by my friend Tony to share favorite Mizzou Football Memories. It brought me so much joy to look back on pictures from over the years.
Waiting for hours to get the 50-yard line seats in the student section our Freshman year of college.
Rushing the field during our first homecoming game as students and watching the goal post be taken to Harpos.
Kevin and Tony being on TV during the Insight Bowl in AZ in 2010.
Our first season after Mizzou joined the SEC in 2012.
Kevin and I getting absolutely soaked in my only real experience sitting on the Alumni side of the stadium.
Bunker Club tickets in 2019 after the South Endzone was finished. Cheering from field level was super legit (and I’d walk from anywhere in the stadium to use those bathrooms).
Tailgating in lot X. Kevin and friends getting there before the lot open to get the perfect spot. Breakfast on the flat top. Kevin’s tailgate playlist.
Kevin wearing the same two jerseys for literally every season since college. See above for evidence.
Passing on our love of Mizzou sports to our boy. He screams “the stadium” every time we drive by and “it’s on!!” when the screens are lit up.
Cheers to 15 Football Seasons (and counting) of being Mizzou Fans.
Queen Anne’s lace (still growing wild). The joy of seeing our boys playing together after 10+ years of friendship. The first ever “are we there yet?” Trying new things. Never ending things to talk about and the opportunity for a roast that turns into sharing our favorite stories… into a microphone. Belly giggles and rock piles. Deeming this year the one where we moo-ed at the bull. 🐂
The Good List: mid-week PTO spent eating scones and roaming the pet store, waking up well rested, a trail walk to end a heavy week, rock collections in tiny hands, and late night projects to surprise our birdy-loving boy. 🤍
What a weekend. We got about two inches of snow on Friday and the cold front (after several days of 50-60 degree weather) made us want to stay inside all weekend. We did venture out to hang up our new bird feeder and I snuck in a little me time at a bookshop downtown. I did come away with the first book in the Crescent City series by Sarah J Maas that I’ve had on my TBR for years at this point.
I’m currently in the middle of the audiobook “Remarkably Bright Creatures” which is book number 12 for the year. I managed 65 in 2023 and am on track to surpass that if I keep up this pace. Depends on how many 800+ page Sarah J Maas/Brandon Sanderson books make it onto my list. I’ve really been trying to habit switch to spend less of my time on my phone, and more with a book after Cal goes to bed. Amazing book stores and a nightstand full of books I’m excited about definitely help make that happen.
We enjoyed so much outside time today. Checked out two free little libraries near us, had snacks on the patio, and watched the birds (ok, and squirrels) eat their “treats”. Cal is a big fan of Clifford and birthdays. He sang Happy Birthday the whole way home.
