Friday night found us heading to Altoona to visit my parents. Friday night also found us at Old Chicago cheering on the Northern Iowa Panthers. Both my mom and dad graduated from UNI as did quite a few of my close friends. So even though we’re die-hard Hawkeye fans, it was still fun to have a homestate team in the middle of March Madness.

One of my besties, Woody, a UNI alum and a good person all around.

The group (notice Zach holding on to his Hawkeye love).

Woody and her hubby, me and mine and my brother, Marcus and Lindsey. Love them all.
