So, we finally made it back after 12 years. Back to where our married life began at Mississippi State University. So much had changed, and we were excited to show the kids our first home...then saddened to see it was getting prepared to be demolished. Behind us in the picture below is a boarded up 25F Wallace Circle Drive, the first home we had. Cinderblock walls that held an ocean of love...wait, that sounds like a song...Need to see if that works with G, C and D. Ok, back...We visited the MSU bookstore, now a barnes and noble with an escalator...Crazy! The plan was to attend the basketball game that night with the family, but Ruby was very sick, so Magan stayed back at the hotel with her.
After lunch at the Little Dooey, then some swimming in an ICE COLD pool, we went out to the ball game to see MSU play McNeese State. Before the game, I was impressed to see the large new area built as a welcome center/kids basketball area that was open up until 15 minutes prior to the game. Davis and Belle immediately hit the jumpy house, and Sam went to the courts to shoot ball.
The game was fun, as basketball is at a much quicker pace than football or baseball, all 3 were able to get into the game and cheer as the bulldogs scored. Unfortunately, they stink, and lost by about 20...to McNeese State! Oh well we had a good time at the game, then the sleeping all in one large room with a sick baby came.
Ruby woke up @ 3AM, and would NOT go back to bed. She had a fever, runny nose, cough, all stuff she just picked up the prior day. But around 5AM, I thought somebody needs some relief, so I warmed up the van, and took Ruby out in the car. She was asleep before we exited the hotel parking lot. Sweet baby. So I drove to Columbus, MS, then back to Starkville, back to the hotel parking lot for an hour rest, then through Starkville, and finally at the other end of starkville she woke up...but I was SO glad she had some sleep. We picked up some bfast, swam a bit more, then were on our way to visit family in Gordo.
