My husband went to Texas A&M and still has a great bond with his college Aggie buddies after all these years.
It meant so much to him that the whole group swept in from all over the States to attend the funeral. Seriously, amazing.
So, apart from all the sad aspects of attending a funeral and dealing with THAT, how did the old Aggie buddies spend their time?
Well, with oversized portions of Mexican food...
A fully stocked hotel mini-fridge of beer...
and playing tricks on each other as if they were 14 years old...
This is apparently what middle-aged married men do away from their wives and children for the weekend. No strip joints or midnight cow-tipping, these 40 year old men were inspired at some point in the night to manicure the nails of one unlucky friend who had the misfortune to fall asleep in the middle of their drunken mirth.
I was long asleep in my own room when all this went down though I do vaguely recall through a Lunesta haze my husband coming in our room and asking for red lipstick. However, lucky for all of us dear readers, they documented it play by play with incriminating pictures.
Look at those devilish smiles. I especially admire how they managed to leave a small wedge opening among them so we can look upon the unsuspecting victim peaceful in the background.
So you can see, they are all involved...
A little clear base coat polish, I believe... you know, so the polish doesn't stain.
My husband getting in on the action...
Lots of snickering in the background...
The next morning aftermath... blue fingernail polish and lots of coffee.
What a fun group of guys! Thanks for being there!

It should be noted that there is NO PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of my participation in the actual manicure event...heh, heh, heh...
As Kirk so eloquently put it at the funeral, the McPherson's opened their home to us all when we were fish - any buddy of Sean's or Michael's was welcome any time. They were fantastic people and will be missed by us all. We would have travelled around the world to be there to support Sean and Michael. It was the least we could do after all their family had done for us over the years.
I am SO glad Sean had a chance to laugh, be silly, and have fun while yall were home. He deserved it....and needed it to get through all that stress.
It's so funny how men don't change much...even with maturatiy. Your buddy falls asleep....why not paint their nails and put lipstick on them? :)
