For those of you who don’t know, Mark and I bleed Blue<\/span> & White<\/span>!\u00a0We have been life-long fans of Penn State, we both earned degrees there, we met there, we had a navy blue wedding, and have a highly-decorated PSU basement\/bar!\u00a0We go to every home game and even get to go in the luxury box a few times a year \u2014 thanks to\u00a0our dear friends, John and Kathy! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, we have had the chance to take many of our family and friends with us, but this game was special.\u00a0My parents were able to come with us this time, it was my birthday, and we also had\u00a0the suite\u00a0for this one!\u00a0Oh…and did I mention that it was my mom’s first Penn State game…EVER!<\/strong><\/span>

After some tailgating, we headed up to the box and even though Penn State lost, we had a great time!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

I love the next photo…this will be my\u00a0mom and dad’s\u00a0first time seeing it.\u00a0They don’t\u00a0know that I took it…I just wanted to\u00a0capture the moment.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And after a long day of Penn State fun, it is always a must<\/em> to get your picture taken with Joe-Pa!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
