Yesterday, Friday, November 13, 2009, I received my Fighting Texas Aggie Ring. I have been waiting four years for this day. And it could not have been any more perfect.
My parents and grandparents drove down from Dallas as well as my second parents, my best friend, and two other really close families to my family. I had eleven people drive in from Dallas to celebrate this day with me. It was really special.
My dad gave me my ring. It was so awesome for me to have my dad give me my ring. I think he thought it was special, too.
And then after I got my ring and took so many pictures, we had a party at the church with more friends and family to continue the celebration. I haven't smiled that much and like that in a very long time. It was so good to be surrounded by so many wonderful people celebrating me getting my Aggie ring.
For those Non-Ags, let me fill you in. Getting your Aggie Ring is a huge deal down here. Every Aggie Ring is the same as the very first ones that were given way back when. Every Aggie wears their ring and it connects what we like to call "THE AGGIE NETWORK". Everything on the ring has symbolic meaning.

Anyway, yesterday was fantastic! I still cannot stop smiling!! This is definitely what I needed to keep me going through the rest of the semester.
It was here that our lives were forever changed, and loyalty to one another and to a cause greater than self filled our hearts.

Thank you to everyone that helped me get to this day and to my friends and family who were here to celebrate it with me. Love you all! Gig'em & God Bless!
