March, 2008, Cassie decided to purchase the perfect gift for Raymond...tickets to a Saints game. (When she saw the price she decided it would be the perfect Birthday-Father's Day-Christmas gift.) Her plan was to buy a pair of tickets for her and Raymond, but Kyle really, really wanted to go. Since Cassie wasn't willing to buy his, he paid for his own. Even way back in March the rival game between the Saints and the Atlanta Falcons was nearly sold out, and she couldn't purchase just three tickets. They only came in sets of two. I paid for the fourth one and was reimbursed by my MIL who wanted to go too.
We held that wonderful secret until Father's Day when Cassie presented her perfect gift. Raymond was speechless and in disbelief. It was, indeed, the perfect gift for him. Then came the long wait from June to December 7th. During that time Mawmaw had her terrible accident. There was no way she would make the game. She graciously gave her ticket to me.
Yesterday was the big day!
Kyle, Raymond, Cassie, and me before we left at 7:00 AM. (#25 Reggie Bush, #26 Deuce McAllister, Cassie and I in "Souther Belle" shirts that say, "Southern Belles Love Their Saints!")
Louisianna Super Dome!
Pictures don't do it justice. It's breath-taking to view the field for the first time.
Awwww...brother and sister love each other...at least when Mom makes them smile. :-)
Part of my favorite team...the Jeffcoats!
It was an awesome day, and the Saints won 29 - 25!

What a GREAT day! I love that you got to experience it as a family ... although I am VERY sorry about your MIL's accident. And how special that your team won on the day you were there.
I love you guys ... you deserved a special day!
I'm really happy that you guys had this opportunity to just go and hang out doing something so fun after such a rough few months!
God is so good. He had the whole thing planned out, too.
