WRECK 'EM TECH

The game last night against Texas was AH-MAZING! What a wonderful, wonderful football game, and it is certainly nice that the Red Raiders picked up another WIN! 9-0, 5-0, BCS ranking #2, Fan Poll #1. What an extraordinary weekend for Tech football.

Yesterday was just a great day. First Big & I went to tailgate with the Headley's and their friends.

Adam fried a turkey, grilled hamburgers and hotdogs... soo good!

LOVE his koozie (it is from the Boo Bash last week :))

Look at all of the tailgaters, where Thompson hall used to be...

"Blackout Texas" inside Jones stadium, great Tech fans!

I also ran into Holly, good thing too because her son really wanted the foam finger that was in the back of my car!

Holly, Joebob & Mr. Big

I love the tagline at the top of the scoreboard... can't wait for next week, OSU!

Can you believe it is almost November?

I CAN'T!

My nephew is about to be 1, a whole YEAR old. I am amazed, but I bet his Mom and Dad are even more AH-MAZED. How fast the year has flown!!

This face, to me, looks just like his Dad!

Before we leave October I have to post Mr. Big as SUPERDOG...

It's a BIRD, It's a PLANE, No- it's SUPERBIG

Yep he is about a foot off the ground... he will do ANYTHING for bacon!
One last frontal photo of SuperBig!

I have some other great pictures that I haven't had time to post. Life has been busy, busy lately. The last four weeks have been filled with the Boo Bash and then we moved right into Stride & Ride, which is in 9 days. After the Boo Bash we have our Thanks For Giving lockup on the 20th, budget meetings the week before that, our holiday potluck at the office on the 21st and then it will be Thanksgiving. *I need to get a flight!*

The end of 2008 is just speeding by~

Mom and I in Houston Thanksgiving 2007!

THIS WEEKEND is the Tech vs. Texas game, people have been living in "Raiderville" since Monday afternoon. Raiderville: the space right outside Jones Stadium that is filled with tents; the university provides electricity for anyone that is camping. The students are lining up because only 10k students will be allowed in on Saturday for the game. Have you seen the newsreports for tickets? Online sites are selling them for up to $1k!!

WRECK 'EM TECH! A GREAT memory from last year when Tech beat OU!

Now, the great photos from the last few weeks.

Look at Uncle Jon and Jordyn... such a pretty smile!

She looks like a little doll sitting there in Mommy's lap. Finally, thank you to all of you who have voted everyday for the MDA!! They have posted a top 5 we aren't in it right now, but EVERY vote helps and I REALLY appreciate it. :)

BOO BASH 2008

It is over ... such a high during the week to make it to the event and now it is over. I survived my first social event with the MDA, YAY! It was so much fun. This is Sarah Palin and a Black Cat, ie Holly & I.

Jon, Jeff, Amber, Brandi and Adam all came. You guys, it means so much to me that you came out to support me at the party. I know it is nice to be able to eat, drink and listen to pretty good music, too! THANK YOU!!!!

The Boo Bash is in its infancy so this wasn't a blowout bash but it was a success. Everyone who came had a good time and the Gut Grab SOLD OUT, the silent auction made decent money and the live auction was AMAZING, we had a wonderful group of people at the event. The money they raised is going to help research, local kids in West Texas and help find a cure for muscular dystropy.

The event was truly wonderful- we had ladies from the Midland district intown to help, as well as, our regional staff. Holly and I were able to enjoy the evening as hosts because these ladies held down the registration table, gut grab and silent auction details.

This is the GUT GRAB & Marcie :)

We recognized the 10 people at the event for their roles in charitable activities, for being industry leaders etc. We auctioned off research minutes- I can't tell you how awesome it was to have people "buy" 5 minutes of research.

The KLIFSNOTES played and they are a pretty awesome band. The lead singer is pregnant- way pregnant and she was belting it out! Then we ended the silent auction and had a live auction of a Troy Aikman football, trip to Vegas to stay at The Venetian and Lasik surgery. It was awesome to see people getting exited about these items and bidding.

Jeff was the BEST player at the Gut Grab, he donated a MINUTE of research to us last night!!
and Amber helped him out, too.

Jon was my convict "Doc" last night, it was wonderful to have him there to experience the event and for me. It was so nice to know he was there :)

Brandi and Adam came too as the Milkman and well you'll see :)

Soemeone actually thought Brandi was pregnant with twins.. hahaha! As you can see it was a basketball!!
