Texas Stadium Implosion

Today is a sad day! Texas Stadium is gone! It was such a big part of my childhood growing up in Irving. I have so many wonderful memories from that place, from attending concerts, high school football games, and Dallas Cowboys games, etc, etc!!!!!! I even used to work there with my church youth group growing up. I drove by the stadium almost every day. It is going to be so weird driving by there now!

I couldn't sleep last night, and kept waking up from having lots of dreams about Texas Stadium last night. I woke up about 4:30 this morning, and then started getting texts from my sister about 4:50, and from then on, I was up waiting anxiously to watch the coverage on TV. It was amazing to see. It even made me tear up a little when they were playing music to the fireworks and then to the actual implosion.

Luckily, my sister got two VIP media passes to the big tent they had set up. She was so sweet to take Blake as her guest. I can not tell you how excited he was to get to go. He talked about it for days leading up to it. What an experience both of them will remember FOREVER!

Getting up at the crack of dawn!

So she is officially gone! She will be missed! RIP Texas Stadium. I can't wait to tell my grandkids about all of the wonderful memories I had there!
