30 by 30/12 of 30/Watch the Aggies play in Kyle Field

I am going to count this one even though I did not actually see a game in Kyle Field.  I went to the A&M v. LSU game last weekend and tailgated.  I decided to be responsible and not spend $250 on a ticket.  It was a tough decision but tailgating ended up being amazing!

I rode down to College Station with Leanne and Sarah. 

I met up with Tess and her family on Friday night and we went to Wings N More, HEB the MSC and midnight yell.  Such a fun night with Tess!  I miss you so much Mess!!!

On Saturday, we met up with Abby before the game.

During the game, I tailgated with Lauren and Melissa. 

It was a blast!  I wish the Aggies could have pulled it out in the end, but it was a great effort! Gig ‘em Aggies!!!

The Draw/30 by 30/11 of 30/Ride a mechanical bull

Last Saturday was the Draw.  I have talked about it on my blog before, but it is the annual ranch party for student ministries.  This year we rode buses out to an actual ranch in the country and got to two steppin’.  Unfortunately the weather did not fully cooperate and the live band had to be canceled because of the rain.  The lack of live music did not stop the kids at all!  It was a blast and I enjoyed seeing my girls interact with boys.  They are officially teenagers and BOY CRAZY!  Lord help us!!!

They happened to have a mechanical bull and the kids were avoiding it on account of the rain.  It was off to the side and no one was really around so my friend Robyn and I decided to ride it.  I should have thought twice before putting “ride a mechanical bull” on my 30 by 30 list.  It is super awkward to ride. SUPER AWKWARD. I did it though. And thankfully no kids or guys were around to witness is.  I have crossed it off my list.  I think for good…

State Fair/30 by 30/10 of 30/Try a frozen mojito

This year, I had the pleasure of going to the State Fair of Texas with Tiffany and my momma before big tex went up in flames. 

Our food selection this year included fletchers corn dogs, fried cheese curds, root beer, sweet tea, water (must stay hydrated), fried salsa balls (a favorite from last year that took about an hour to find), and bacon fried cinnamon roll (so gross!)

In an exciting twist of fate, I spied a frozen mojito and was able to cross something off of my thirty by thirty list.  When I put “try a frozen mojito” on my list, I did not realize that no bars in Dallas serve them.  I have ventured to 2 different bars over the last 6 months that advertised a frozen mojito, only to find that they no longer served them.  Major bummer.  I was also hopeful that I would find one in Costa Rica but they did not oblige me either.  So I was excited and shocked when the good old state fair of Texas had my back.  I would love to say it was the best thing I have ever tasted, but I honestly prefer non-frozen mojitos.  Oh well, at least I found one!!!
