JD and I have not been to a Texas Aggie football game since we were in college. Some of our dear friends from our Fort Irwin days, The Thomas Family, (their daughter, Mackenzie, was Grace's best friend in CA) are Kansas State alumni and K-State football fanatics! :) When were lived in CA, I remember them flying back to KS to go to K-State football games. They are now stationed in OK, and we thought it would be fantastic to all meet up and go to the A&M/K-State football game in Manhattan, KS. We had a great time! The game was not until 6pm so we drove in earlier that day (Manhattan is a little over 2 hours away from Fort Leavenworth) and took Mackenzie to dinner with us so Grace and Mac could catch up on old times! :) We all sat together at the game and it was so nice to see some old friends and catch up! Of course Grace was on Cloud 9, and I think it was so surreal for her to see Mackenzie in person. They have been writing letter back and forth for the past 1.5 years, and I'm not sure Grace ever thought the day would come that she would actually get to see Mackenzie again. Needless to say we all had a blast (even if Texas A&M got KILLED!!), and we're hoping to get to the girls together again while we're here in KS this year.
