The Littlest Red Raider

This past weekend, Raija had her first road trip and Tech gameday in Lincoln, Nebraska. She was quiet all the way from Hastings to Lincoln (she was probably nervous about Tech's road record versus Big 12 opponents) and even slept right through hotel check-in and dinner. She tried out her new travel crib, which was WELL worth the $35 on Amazon! Hotel security stayed busy Friday night, as Husker Nation began some early tailgating in their rooms and in the hallways of the dowtown Holiday Inn, which is located directly across the street from Memorial Stadium. Raija slept through it all, though, and had a great night!
On Saturday, Uncle Blake came up from Kansas City to meet his niece and go to the game with me. While we braved the chilly Nebraska autumn, Raija and Breann attended a Husker party at a friend's home in Lincoln. Raija was fired up for the game and dedicated a dirty diaper to those #15-ranked Huskers. She brought a little luck (if you watched the game you know we needed it) as Tech prevailed, 31-10. I wondered if Coach Leach dropped a Sharon Stone quote into his postgame interview like he did following last year's OT win over Nebraska.
Sunday was spent taking advantage of decent shopping in Lincoln and picking up a few necessities before heading back to Hastings. Raija certainly received her fair share of attention from the Lincoln locals, as Breann and I learned that parents of little babies get special perks. We were told "no" on a couple of customer service issues. That is, until they saw Raija and quickly changed their mind! Finally, we want to wish Uncle Blake and Aunt Sally a very happy one-year anniversary (Oct 18). We miss you guys!
