Todd and I both went to Purdue and met through mutual friends while Todd was in grad school at UVA. We’ve only been to one Purdue game together, Wake Forest, at Wake Forest in 2003, shortly after we moved to Atlanta. Purdue always plays IU (Indiana University) the last game of the season for the Old Oaken Bucket. This year the game was the weekend before Thanksgiving in Bloomington, IN which just happens to be about a 30 minute drive from Todd’s parents house. We’ve been trying to go back for a game (in West Lafayette) for a while but can’t ever seem to get our act together. This year we finally did and decided to go down to Indiana early for Thanksgiving so we could go to the game and then spend the week with his family! And, Todd’s sister and brother-in-law were able to score some tickets to the game, so the 4 of us went and left the kids at home with the grandparents!!!!!
It’s game day, Finn and Joseph with their jerseys on:

No game is complete without a foamy finger!
The Chick-fil-a cow! For the record, we did not have chick-fil-a in Indiana when I was in college!
And the final score: PU 38 IU 21
Another P for the bucket!
And this creepy clown afterwards at dinner
Thanks John and Steph for such a FUN day! And thanks G-Ma and Pa-Pa for babysitting!!!!
