1st College Road Trip




Steph is kicking off her second year of college in a grand fashion. Her first year she didn't do much other than go to class each day. I know, that didn't sound right... going to class is of course the most important part of college, but I just didn't think she was allowing herself to live the real college experience, you know, the social side. This year she has done a full 180. She is in "The MUSS"! (I know it stands for something, just can't remember what...) When you buy a MUSS pass, you get into all the games and stand in the student section. Kicking off the inaugural season of the U being in the Pac 12, a bunch of MUSS kids traveled to Southern California last weekend to go to the game against USC. Instead of opting to ride the bus, Steph and 3 friends drove down themselves, a decision they may have started to doubt when they locked the keys in the car... in my driveway! Luckily, from there on out it was smooth sailing.



They spent some time at Manhattan Beach during the day, walked the Santa Monica Pier at night, and had a blast meeting up with a good friend of Steve's and his family for a tailgate party at the stadium.








Steph said there were a ton of Ute fans there, which I thought was awesome. I think it is so exciting to be in the Pac 12!



Unfortunately, the Utes lost in the final seconds but definately made a good showing.






The kids ended up having a great time. I was so happy to see Steph making memories and enjoying this exciting time of her life.

The trip looks like a ton of fun. Ahh, to be single and fancy free. Those were some good times. Is it a little nerve wracking to watch her go off by herself or do you eventually get over the nervous mother stage?
