Rugby Banquet

We attended the rugby banquet the other weekend. The annual tradition began many years ago as a way for the guys to say "thanks" to their wives for putting up with all of the rugby shananigans for the entire year. All of the girls got to get dressed up, and our men would take us to this fancy banquet and celebrate the end of another rugby year in style. It's a nice gesture, and we still have a lot of fun.

I'm not sure how many more of these celebrations we will be attending. Unfortunately, Joe suffered what may have been a rugby career-ending injury last season. He partially tore his ACL on his good leg. He already had the other ACL reconstructed, so he knows what it's like and what's involved, and he doesn't want to go through that again.

The rugby wives: (Adam's wife), Lauren, Heiu, Emily, Danielle, Deb. This is a FUN bunch of women. Note: Adam's newlywed wife has never been to a game, and this was my first time meeting her. Plus, I'm bad at remembering names.
