This past weekend our oldest nephew Jared who plays football for Michigan State University, was in town to play against The Ohio State Buckeyes! We were so thrilled to see him that we got up early on "game day" and went for a quick visit to the hotel where he and his team were staying. We were all decked out in our MSU attire (yes, even Uncle Brandon who's a die-hard Buckeye fan) to show our love and support for Jared. For the past five years, we've had the opportunity to travel and watch Jared play against some highly ranked teams. We are so proud of the young man that he's developed into and proud that he'll be earning his degree in an area that he has much passion for. Few will ever have the capability or opportunity that he's got/had, and few will have the chance that we've had in understanding the thrill of watching someone you love and care for play at the highest level of college competition.
