FSU-Miami Game

For those of you that don't know, I graduated from Florida State and Chris was raised in the Miami area. Needless to say, this puts us on two opposing sides of a huge College Football Rivalry. October in our house tends to be the roughest month of the year. Last year, I had the honor of serving on the President's Commission on Care for America's Returning Wounded Warriors. One of the two co-chairs was Donna Shalala. It just so happens that she is also the President of the University of Miami (and the best one ever from what I hear!) We were invited to this years game and were treated like royalty!!! Valet parking at the stadium and the very best seats I think anyone could ever have for any football game. Prior to the game we attended a pregame celebration where President Shalala made a speech and introduced us as her special guests. She told a bit about how Chris was injured and needless to say, he received a standing ovation. It was absolutely amazing. I thought I would share some of the photos.
