Time Fly's!

Seriously, where has the time gone… Some updates from the past few weeks:

Texas beat A&M, the game was fun! I got heckled quite a bit by our friends who knew I went to A&M. I haven’t seen the Aggies play in person since I was in school! So it was kind of weird to see the band again, and hear the fight song, I proudly sang along! (While Dave grimaced) And then somehow OU jumped us in the BCS pole, so that led to Texas NOT going to the big 12 championship… Which everyone had to talk about for 1 week straight, and everyone had to give their opinion a dozen times… I was kind of over it, although I myself was a little upset at the outcome. And now Texas will be going to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale AZ, and Dave and I will be in attendance to cheer on the Horns! I’m excited to finally get a vacation!! Even if it involves football… We’re also planning to drive to the Grand Canyon one day while we are there which I am excited about!

Update on my Thanksgiving feast: My turkey turned out really well! I was kind of surprised how good it was!!! Dave took some before pictures, of me cleaning out the bird, but my face is just awful to say the least so I won’t be sharing those. And unfortunately I forgot to take any after pictures of my pretty bird! It ended up cooking for much longer then I expected, but many people told me the lower the temperature, the moister the turkey, and they were right! The only accident that was to be had during our feast was when our friend Gerald was getting out the chocolate pie, (which I made just for HIM) he dropped it on the floor!!! Before anyone had any, so that was pretty sad, thankfully we still had a whole pumpkin pie!

Dave and I went and got our Christmas tree the Saturday after thanksgiving, and thankfully this year so far (knock on wood) it hasn’t fallen over yet! Last year out 8 foot tree fell over twice!!! We bought a new stand, but I was shocked that they were still selling the crappy one we bought the previous year that didn’t hold out tree up! It is all decorated, the outside is also decked out with lights, a fake tree, little light up Christmas packages, and twinkling snowflakes! I actually have all of my Christmas shopping done, all present wrapped and under the tree. I am so excited about the present for my parents this year, I can’t wait for them to open it!! Christmas cards (including my home made spice packs) are in the mail as of today. I feel very on top of things this holiday season! Dave and I will make out way up to Dallas this coming weekend to have an early Christmas with my grandparents. I miss my g-parents very much, and don’t get up to Dallas to see them as often as I would like!

Thanks all for now folks!
