It's Aggie Time!

Boog, doin' his thing! Blessed with the gift of gab.
OK. I think I'm looking a little "large & in charge"

Aggie football begins, school starts again for those seasoned upper classmen and for the first time for those newby highschool grads, midnight yell, road trips, all of it starts in the fall. And of course, we can't forget, those Aggie Mom Club Meetings!

Last fall, Boog was blessed to be asked by the Ft. Worth Aggie Moms Club to speak at their introductory meeting. This year, right in our back yard, the Henderson County Moms Club asked him to be their opening speaker. Boog gets so excited about these type speaking engagements - come on! Combine his gift for the gab, on the subject of A&M and Bonfire, in front of a captive audience? That's like year round freshly ground coffee being handed to him at sunrise everyday from his wife! (ie. It almost never happens...okay. It pretty much never does!)

I have to admit, he does impress. I don't cry, but I often come to the point of tears brimming whenever he talks about those that lost their lives and the true Spirt of Aggieland. My good friend, Stephanie, her husband has a story to tell about Bonfire that would make even the most hard-hearted person break down. There's just something about listening to people recount life-changing experiences that .....is so heartfelt and pure. So unaffected and affecting at the same time.

I'm going to be honest that, aside from the joyful life-changing experiences, I haven't had much of the hard ones in my life. One. I haven't really blogged about that much..... ever, really.... because my mother's death is still something that I process on a daily basis. I don't know if it's all sorted out yet. There will be a post one day, I'm sure. But I'm not sure when. My mom's in heaven, that I know. And that's what I think about.

On a final note, it's mid-way through the week and there's not a free weekend in the whole month of September for me. Isn't this when all that starts? The busy weekend schedules? All I know is I can't wait until that first weekend when I lift up all my windows in the house to get that great, cool fall air inside while I clean. I'm crazy that I look forward to that moment each year!
