Aggie Ring Day!

I am behind in posting, but here are pictures from Charley's Fightin' Texas Aggie Ring Day! Mom came into town that Friday afternoon (Daddy had his 2nd Annual Battle of the Brains to put on). About 6:00 or so, we headed up to the Association of Former Students, met up with Charley and some of his friends, and watched him get his Aggie Ring! I have to say it was very exciting! I even videotaped it, but as you can see, I am a terrible video-er....need to get better before posting "Baby Seidel" videos on this blog one day! Oh and in the future videotaping of important events, I will be sure to not talk at all. My voice and way of speaking is a little embarrassing. Vic can not stop making fun of me when he thinks of the video. I sound like an old hick or something! Anyways, here are the pictures!

The ring! Though now is the time to tell you that Charley put it on and only kept it on for about an hour or so.....it came in too small! It was really tight on him. Apparently, the ring company made it too small, and even then he decided to order it a little bigger to be comfortable. He just sent it back in though to get it re-sized. Hopefully he gets it back really soon!!!!

So, Aggie Ring Day was great, but in conjunction with that, it was also Parent's Weekend. So, Mom and I attended the Business School's breakfast and Charley gave us the tour of the Mays School of Business. And, then of course, we wanted his picture! But, he didn't want to be in it by himself; so I joined him....I couldn't have looked any worse, but I am very proud of Charley and am glad he wanted me in it!
After that, Mom and I decided to spend some money at the Aggie Mom's Craft Fair and then shopped in Downtown Bryan, ate at Madden's and watched Glee the rest of the evening! It was a wonderful weekend of celebrations!
