Andy and I went to St. Louis this evening to the annual Sid Weber Barbecue for Sigma Chis. He’s been going for years, but this was my first trip with him. It really was a great time and I’m glad that I went. For Andy, it’s an evening to see and talk to some of his fraternity brothers. I spent the evening chatting with a few of the other sweethearts (women) that were there. I’ve been attending Sigma Chi functions like these for years now, but I’m still constantly surprised at just how much of a brotherhood there is between these men. It’s quite a sight to see. I was shocked when I checked my watch and realized that three hours had gone by and it was time to leave. I guess that means it was a good evening! As always, one of the highlights for me was listening to the men sing “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi” to the small group of women that were there. It was sung to me for the first time at our wedding and it still gets me every time. I’ll be going with Andy again next year provided we can find a babysitter again. Thanks to Brian, Jenna, and Jeremy for stepping up so Andy and I could go!
