WAHOO!! After a month of asking Jamie if I can join all my college buddies at the bowl game and getting rejected, she surprised me on Christmas with a trip to the Fiesta Bowl! I opened an envelope that had flight info, a card from Jane with tailgate tix, and Andrew has my game ticket. Wow!
Apparently Jamie and Jane had been working on this for a month or so. Jane worked with Andrew to get the game ticket (but had to keep that quiet and the public ticket count off by 1), and had a few flights reserved for 24 hours before the bowl announcements.
Super stoked to be joining the crew out there. It's not all about the football - this turns into a great little reunion of friends from college. Since all of us are married now, we need a different excuse to get together around the country -- this works for me!
