Rocketsan 877 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 With all that's going on with the passing of my brother-in-law, my fiancée didn't want my 40th birthday to get lost in the shuffle. She just presented me with an envelope. Inside was two tickets to the MSU game next Saturday night. Surprised the hell out of me seeing as we'd already bought and planned our trip to South Bend for Wake Forest at the end of the season. A pleasant end to an unpleasant week.

IanY77 4 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Damn, dude, that's amazing. I'm going to be stuck in a wedding next weekend in Ottawa. I'm in the wedding party, so I can't beg off. I'll be the guy at the front surreptitiously checking his phone and making that one fingered circular "wrap it up" motion to the priest. Enjoy the game!

NDJoe06 0 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Rocket, you found what we in the fishing world would call a "Keeper"! I am so glad you will be there to see us stomp out the team I hate from the split state!!! (split state=upper and lower peninsula...I sat at my desk trying to come up with a good rhyming insult, and that is the best I had beyond "Farty Sparty") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcwithglasses 0 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 awesome - don't know if you even remember but i apologize for getting all fired up the other day. i got out of line and tried defending myself too far. wasn't trying to be negative just got caught up in the case. (anyways, i'm trying to more positive from here on out, i see that nd football isn't life or death) this pales in comparason to your story but my dog passed away suddenly saturday night at 6 yrs old (possible kidney failure) and it was completly unexpected. after watching football the entire day i was left a miserable wreck and at the vet until 3am. worst day of my life. i guess wins and losses are just wins and losses.

Damn, dude. We have three dogs and can't imagine what it's going to be like when we have to put one of them down. Sorry to hear about your loss. Rocket, definitely have a keeper there - enjoy the game and keep your head up, good things happen to good people, as seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithInIrish Forever 5,570 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I know I don't know you but you have a spot in my heart rocket as do many of the other dd members. So when your sad I'm sad, and when your happy I'm thankful. I believe it says somewhere that a happy wife equals a happy life. I'm so happy for you, and thankful you stop by here everyday.
