Great Holiday Week!

We had an eventful, great Thanksgiving holiday week!

Tuesday evening we went to dinner with our friends from Sacramento, Luke, Stephanie and Leah! It was so good to see them! We hadn't seen them in about a year and this was our first time to meet little Leah. She is adorable!

My parents, Brother, Nephew, Sister and her boyfriend all came to our house for Thanksgiving this year. We enjoyed having everyone here!

My nephew, Tucker, is turning 12 this week so we thought it would be fun to set up a scavenger hunt for him to find all his presents. I think my mom and I had just as much fun making the clues as he did hunting.

Thursday evening we noticed Jasmine started favoring her right leg. Saturday morning we woke up early to get ready to go tailgate and I noticed her paw was really swollen and she had been licking it all night. I took her to the pet hospital to get checked out. We think she might have been bit by a spider or something. They drained her paw, gave her some shots and bandaged her up! Poor Jas!

After spending 2+ hours at the vet, I headed out to the stadium to meet up with BJ and our friends. We watched the Red Raiders finish off the season with a 11-1 record. We headed to Caprock Cafe to cheer on Oklahoma State, but they couldn't pull it off! Now we just wait and see which bowl game we will get to go to!

Red Raiders in Norman, Oklahoma!

About a month ago we decided we wanted to look for tickets to the Tech/ OU game and stumbled upon a great deal on ebay. BJ got home from Minnesota on Friday afternoon about 2pm and we headed out around 5. We stopped in Monday at his Dad's house to spend the night Friday night. We had a god visit with his Dad and Step-mom. We don't get to see them that often. Sat morning we got up and headed to OK city. Ate at a restaurant in Bricktown and then made our way to Norman!!

All of our tailgating friends met up at Colby Whitlock's (one of the Tech defensive linemen) uncle's house which was just a few blocks away from the stadium. They were so nice to us and welcomed all the Tech fans even though they were Sooners. I was impressed with the OU stadium/crowd.......I have been to College Station and Nebraska and never witnessed such a crazy loud crowd!! It was overwhelming for me in the stands. I cannot imagine how the guys down on the field felt.

The outcome of the game was not as we would have liked but it was a nice weekend get-a-way.

We are still so proud of the Red Raiders. 10 -1 and the season is far from over! We will be at the Baylor game, cheering loud and then rooting for the Okie State Pokes on Sat. evening! We can hope for the best!

Halloween and Texas Tech beating Texas!

We had a great but exhausting weekend. We were a little worried when BJ came down with a stomach bug on Wed. But gratefully it was just a 24 hr something and he was feeling better after almost a full 24 hrs of sleeping! We started off with a Halloween get together over at our friend, Allison's house. There were some interesting costumes.
We headed out to set up the tailgate at 8:30a.m. on Sat. I know......Crazy! After setting up we went over to the Game Day set-up to take all the excitement in. So fun! We had several friends in from out of town so our tailgate was lots of fun!
After the AWESOME game BJ and I just sat in the stands, watching the students, taking it all in! Good times! We are looking forward to another exciting weekend of football this weekend!
