This past weekend, Baby Runge and I made our way to Raiderland...Lubbock, Texas! It was the 50 year celebration of Chi Omega, my sorority in college. We enjoyed seeing my sisters and friends as well as touring the campus, where both Carson and I attended school. Here is a picture of the Blarney Stone, and Baby Runge kissing it. It is said that one who kisses the stone will be given the gift of eloquent speech. We want to give our little one a little extra good fortune. Aunt Lyndsey took the picture for us and we cannot wait to go back for a football game once Baby Runge is born!
More information on Blarney Stone:
On St. Patrick's Day in 1939 Texas Tech University unveiled that they had discovered a piece of the Blarney Stone. According to the legend the stone was discovered by a group of petroleum engineers while they were on a field trip. After doing tests it was discovered that the stone was a piece of the original Blarney Stone. The stone now lies on a stand in front of the old Electrical Engineering Building. It is said that seniors that kiss the Blarney Stone upon graduation will receive the gift of eloquent speech.
