Michigan and Ohio State Trip

Back in November Dustin and I had a few days off of work and so we decided to take a little road trip.  We went and stayed a few days with my brother Nate, his wife Marianne, and their little girl Isabelle.  Dustin had only met them at the wedding, and as Nate was my closest sibling growing up and Marianne was my college roommate I wanted them to be able to get to know each other.  They live right out side of Ann Arbor, so of course we had to take a stop to see the Big House!  Met right outside.... 

Michigan Campus...

Dustin excited about his first experience seeing the big house, especially since we were going to an Ohio State game at the Horseshoe in just to more days!!

I felt like I needed to hide from everyone...like they were telepathic or something and know I was a Buckeye fan.

Holding Isabelle.  It was SO fun to be able to play with her and spend time playing games and talking with Nate and Marianne.  Isabelle has a case of stranger danger, and my siblings said she did not like to be apart from Mari or Nate, but she sure took to Dustin!!  I was able to take her for a little bit in the morning, but by the afternoon she just wanted her new boyfriend Dustin!!

See??  Happier with him holding her.

The happy family.  It was so good to see them!!  I miss them a lot!!

Aren't they adorable!!??

After 2 days in Michigan we headed south to Columbus, Ohio.  There Dustin has a cousin whose husband is in dental school at OSU and they got us some tickets, which we are really really grateful for! Then we were also able to stay with them.  It was fun to get to know them too and their little boy!

Yes, that is me at the Horseshoe!!  This was the November 14th Penn State game.  It was SUCH a good game!!

Loving life, as we live the dream!!

I love the sea of red!!

Setting up for script "Ohio".  Seriously this is a big deal.  I just love all the traditions!!

ah!!  Dotting the "I"!!!

At Halftime we went down to try and get a better view of the field and walk around the Horseshoe a bit.

At the main entrance.  O H!!

And the Buckeyes win!!  It was a really good game and we had such a blast!!  Thank you Nate and Mari for a fabulous time and Blake and Shonna for helping my dream come true to attend a game at the Horseshoe!!  And for the laughs and letting us stay with you!!  Living the Dream!!
