Ever since I was very little and my dad had me watch the movie Rudy, I have been a fan of Notre Dame & inspired by their history, traditions, and stories. It has always been a dream of mine to go to a Notre Dame football game...and 13th of November my dream came true! Now that I write that...I realized it was the 13th...a lucky number in my family and how fitting for my dream to come true on the 13th!! Love when that happens!!!
It was nearly a perfect "Rudy" day on campus...and Notre Dame's campus is the most beautiful campus I have ever seen/imagined ever seeing. The buildings were of a historic architecture, the trees were so mature & beautiful in their fall color, and the paths throughout the expansive campus made you feel alive! In my next life, I want to come back as a Notre Dame student...but for now I pray maybe I'll get to be a Notre Dame parent!! (Dream big...why not?!) The bookstore, as Mr. Fontana describes it, "It's the Marshall Fields of college bookstores!" and boy was he right!!
Being inside the stadium was everything I imagined, and the band....ohhh, the band!!! Amazing is an understatement! True entertainers full of talent, talent, talent!!!
Even though the the Irish God's poured rain down on us for the 1st half, I survived & still enjoyed it all!! The Fighting Irish beat Utah in a 28-3 finish & the students stormed the field like they had just won the National Championship!! It was really quite neat to see!!!
All in all - all-time favorite dream come true for me & I can't wait to go back again!!! GO IRISH!!
