\u00a0<\/p>\n

So today is the big match-up.\u00a0 Everyone always asks me who I am rooting for…..<\/p>\n

Andy and I both went to UT for undergrad.\u00a0 We named our first born\u00a0Austin after the wonderful place that we met.\u00a0 We have great memories of the school and the city.<\/p>\n

But, OSU holds a special place in our hearts as well.\u00a0 Andy went to grad school there, and while he was there we were a young family trying to survive on zero income and student loans and help from family.\u00a0 But it was a fun time too.\u00a0 I had all my babies at the OSU hospital and when one of them was born with a heart condition, OSU paid for every dime to make my baby better.\u00a0 Including multiple stays at Children’s hospital.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So, I will be happy either way.\u00a0 I must admit that there is an OSU flag flying outside right now but hey- when in Rome….<\/p>\n

Here is what happened last year when Andy lost the bet with his sister (who is also a UT alum and still lives in Austin)\u00a0 Andy had to wear his UT sweatshirt to the boys soccer games.\u00a0 Here he is with a few of the kids on his team.<\/p>\n

\"Bet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blake has a double header soccer game today and then a birthday party.\u00a0 Andy got tickets to take the family to the Crew game<\/a> this evening and then the big football game is tonight.\u00a0 A busy day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Maggie went home last night – when Cole got up this morning and found out she was gone he cried.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 So I think she is going to have to come over for another play date this weekend.<\/p>\n

Oh and check this out<\/a>– doesn’t this look heavenly?\u00a0 All might favorite things- dogs, beach, cool quilt, bonfire…..\u00a0 I sent the link to Andy and asked “want to move to Oregon?”\u00a0<\/p>\n
