Back where it all began...

September 3, 2005 was the first day of the rest of our lives.
Little did we know that in only five short years, our lives would change so much! On September 3, 2010, our five year wedding anniversary, we decided to load up and take a little family trip to back where it all began. It was planned last minute and we couldn't find a decent cheap hotel, so we even splurged and got to stay at the Hilton (where we had the reception). Once in town, we went up to the campus to reminice and take some pictures. First stop... "going to the chapel and we're gonna get married!"...or where we got married. All Faiths Chapel...
And we coincidentally ran into the only person we know on campus anymore, my cousin Matt, so we were able to get a picture together.
Because it was our anniversary, they let us onto Kyle Field to take some pictures of the kiddos! (Ha, just kidding...the gate was open, so we just walked right in! The security guard pulled up as we were walking out and locked it behind us.) Here is Miss. Bella sitting up for the first time, and it was on Kyle Field!

Our two kiddos!
We had dinner at Cheddar's, went swimming at the hotel, and ordered some chocolate cake and wine from room service to end the night. On Saturday, we spent the day on campus again. Touring, tailgating, and hanging out with friends!
It's amazing how this ring has become one of the hottest tourist spots on campus! Zaab and the foundry did some fine work!
What Kaleb looks forward to most when we visit is watching the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band and the corps march in. Here Kaleb is looking to the right to figure out why the Aggies stopped marching.
These ARE the Aggies according to Kaleb! Who needs the football team when you have the corps? He's so serious when he's watching them. I'll ask him, "What kind of Aggie are you going to be when you get big?" And his response.... "An Aggie that marches!"
Inside the Association of Former Students building, there are several exhibits upstairs. We had never looked around before, but found this one and it looks like we'll be visiting more often. It is an interactive video of the yell leaders teaching you how to lead a yell. Kaleb hopped right up there ready to take charge! This is our video of him practicing...



And the finished product...

It was a great weekend, but more importantly it has been a wonderful five years. We've come a long way and I can't wait to see where we'll be in another five years. I love you Kevin!
