ACU 101

The West Texas wind blowing, being able to get anywhere in 10 minutes, and the site of a church building on every corner... we knew we were back in Abilene! What a great weekend we had with friends!

Chris and I skipped out on our club breakfast this year. We chose to sleepin and start our ACU Homecoming at the parade. We were very proud of the GSP & KJK floats. After the parade, we walked around campus and visited with friends that we hadn't seen in awhile. It is always interesting to see how people change over the years.

After our visit around campus, we went back the Beard's home for lunch and a nap. They were very kind to let us stay with them this weekend. Wyatt had so much fun playing with Kaylee and Campbell. That afternoon we were suppose to go to the ACU football game, but we didn't quite make it. Wyatt and I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 4:30pm. Oops! I guess the good news is that the Wildcats won the game and are now 6-0. http://www.acusports.com/

Do you remember Abilene BBQ? Well, that night we went to the Ag Dept. BBQ dinner. It was good to see "Doc" Dubose recognized for his years of service to the Ag Dept. He is such a great man and has finally retired. Every year the Ag Dept. auctions off hams to raise money for the department scholarships. Chris and I decided that this year we would bid. Well, we just thought we would. I was so surprised at the prices these hams were being sold. I just couldn't bring myself to bid. YES! 4 hams were auctioned off and the average price of a ham went for was $718.75. I just couldn't believe it....what a blessing for the department.

Sunday morning we went to church with the Beard's at Southern Hills Church of Christ. After church we met one of my life long friends for lunch at Cahoots. Summer, Brad, and their little boy Ethan. Wyatt and Ethan had fun making noises and drinking together! :) They are just 2 precious boys that are blessings from God. We had a nice visit and enjoyed catching up.

Our drive home was uneventful as Wyatt slept most of the way. He'd had a great time in Abilene and couldn't even finish his thumbprint from McKay's bakery!
