"The best part of waking up...

...is Folgers in your cup!"

Well, not really because we don't drink coffee. But the best part of waking up today, was that neither one of us had to go to work! This NEVER happens to us in the middle of the week. Naturally, Kelly got today off because it is a national holiday, Veteran's Day.

(Side note: Thank you to ALL of the Veterans, and those who are still serving, who have put their lives in harms way to save the freedom of our country. Especially my Pop {my Dad's dad} and my Dad! I love them both so very much and am proud for all they've done for our country.)

I got today off so that I could work the annual Dallas Maintenance Golf Tournament. I didn't have to be at the golf course until 9:30 am, so Kelly and I decided to bring back one of our oldest traditions, and go grab breakfast together at Chick-Fil-A. The tradition isn't necessarily breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, it's just that we would grab breakfast together in general.

This tradition started when we were freshmen at Texas A&M (6 years ago!) Almost every Monday morning, Kelly would come by my dorm and pick me up, and take me to breakfast before our classes started for the week. (Maybe this was the reason for my "freshman 15.") As our college years passed by, this tradition slowly started to fade away. However, I am so thankful that during our busy schedules we were able to find time reminisce about the memories we share, and rekindle a longstanding tradition!
