Getting old






So, I realized this morning that I am really getting old. It wasn't the fact that I have two kids. It wasn't the fact that I'm 30. It wasn't the fact that I realized C and I have been together for 7 1/2 years already, or that I've already had my 10 year high school reunion. I realized, I like to watch the news. When I was in college, I would come home and hate to watch the news, I would watch anything else (and we didn't have cable so that wasn't much). Now I love to watch the news, the Today show, world news shows, presidential debates or speeches. What? That's crazy. Anyway, I'm getting old. I also realized this was the first year as I watched college football that I didn't think it would be fun to be in the stands like all those drunk college students. My actual thought was, ugh, I am so glad I am not there. (not that I don't enjoy the drunken tailgate, but that's for older kids :) It was the drunk in the stand wearing your college sweatshirt, knowing that it was a full day of drinking, bars, and thinking about what you and all your friends were going to do that night and who you were going to make out with :) HAHA Anyway, not that those times weren't extremely fun, but I am glad for the memories and glad I don't have to do it now. Just in about 18 years for Mom's Weekend :) And please just imagine my kids are in the above pictures wearing Cougar shirts! Although C does say by then I will probably want them to go to UW so I can have them closer....he's probably only half right.

Lori. I drug myself out of bed, then across the damn lake all becuase I knew you'd be at the tailgate this past Saturday. I want to meet your new little Coug! But, alas, the Fowlers were no shows to Big T Dawg's world-famous tailgate. Maybe I can look forward to seeing you at a future tailgate?
