Tatum and I went to the soccer game yesterday afternoon after church. We didn't make it for the beginning of the game and apparently they scored a goal within the first 5 minutes of the match.
We missed it.
But we watched the game,
Yeah, hon. I want that for you, too.
To the fans that were sitting in front of us that decided to move to get away from her chatter, sorry. She was excited. I hope your new spot was a little quieter.
During halftime we walked around for a bit and ran into a College Station celebrity.
For those that don't know who this gentleman is - it's R. Bowen Loftin, President of Texas A&M University and he impressed me beyond belief by having an almost 5 minute conversation with my 5 year-old daughter. On her level. They chatted about soccer and school and working hard and coming to college in Aggieland.
And y'all, she had no clue.
But since she's never met a stranger she was just fine chatting it up with him. Then we let him go on his way and she promptly asked for ice cream. Chocolate ice cream.
That's my girl.
During the second half of the game we had connected with a friend of mine and some of her friends and all of their kids, so we hung out with them on the season ticket holder side (but not in the seats - lest you be upset with me since I only bought a general admission ticket) standing and letting the kids run around (and of course, eat Tatum's ice cream!). Tatum ran into a friend that she had gone to a summer camp with and was thrilled (whose name happens to be Kellen - a girl Kellen, actually, if you can believe it!). She was so excited!
They scored another goal toward the end of the game, sealing the win. And Tatum thoroughly enjoyed herself.
After the Spirit of Aggieland, we headed home. And Tatum remarked that she wanted to watch the Aggies every Sunday we could.
