Goal #5: cheer at a football game!

Believe it or not, I (Rachelle the First) have never been to a football game before. Not pro, not college, not high school, not even pee wee. Rachelle A, horrified that I have not yet really lived, decided to take me to one of the Aggies games. The event was definately worth a black book entry!

Decked out in a new Aggies sweatshirt, I was able to attend my first game in style. Because Rachelle's dad is president of Utah State, we were able to enjoy the Presidents box. This was especially pleasant considering the cold, snowy weather we had all day (note freezing loyal fans in the picture below). We had an awesome view, tasty warm food, and the famous blue Aggie ice cream as the afternoon wore on. Best of all, Utah State won! Woo-hoo!

Touchdown!

Goal #4 Pie-Making!

I (Rachelle the 2nd) have always wanted to learn how to make a pie so I added it to my little black book. A few weeks ago, our good friend Angie agreed to take on the task of teaching me how to make a pie. Luckily, some other friends joined us for the adventure!

Angie was very excited about sharing her fabulous cooking skills with us. She even wore her famous "Angie's" shirt (acquired on a previous black book adventure) to look official.

Watch out Rachael Ray!

Kym and Rachelle follow Angie's instructions.

Step 1: "Add a crap load of flour...."

Mary Ann was "lucky" enough to partner with the novice cook. It took me a while to feel comfortable getting my hands dirty. But after some trial and error, we managed to make some pretty good looking pies.

The finished products. Not too bad!

Kym, Angie, Rachelle K., Mary Ann, Lindsay, and Rachelle A.

enjoying the result of our hard work! Yummy!

Thanks Angie!!
