sunday morning we headed to campus and students were already

camped out to get tickets for next weekend's game against Oklahoma

we all went to our main buildings where most of our classes were held.

Francis is where I spent most of my time as an aggie 

but as I walked up to the door

i noticed a sign

"we are moving"

sad day!

it was like going home and finding your house completely empty.

 well, not quite that tramatizing but still unexpected.

this was the room where i had my first class as an RPTS student 

i'm just glad that i got to walk the halls and say goodbye.

we are the aggies, the aggies are we

"big gulps, huh?

yep, well see ya later."

gotta love wal-mart in aggieland

the aggies put the spank on Idaho at

37 to 7 saturday night

the lloyds and woodleys whooped it up for the ags like old times

and encountered the youngest aggie who bleeds maroon. 

he fell asleep with his head resting on a water bottle.

the band rocked as always

kati and i showed all the college girls how to get the perfect

jump shot on the first take

we finished off the night with dinner at our favorite authentic italian restaurant

Olive Garden :)

on the road again...

charlie and i left Houston late thursday evening and drove to Louisiana.

my grandmother, momie, hasn't been doing well for the past week

and we took time off to spend with her

since we spent most of the time in the hospital i do not have any pictures from

cajun town.

momie's spirits are up and she is looking forward to having her hair fixed.

She even told us we were turning her into a "pretzel" because she couldn't have any water

due to the stroke making it difficult for her to swallow on her own. 

momie will probably be moved into physical therapy at the end of the week

and will hopefully be on the way to recovery.

after our visit in Louisiana we made a wonderful pit stop in Elysian Fields

to see the wonderful woodleys.

katilyn and adam are super luck to have baby deer come and visit their back yard!

{kati named the deers, tabitha, clovis and cleo...how cute is she?}

we spent some porch time...

and saw the best stick bug we've ever seen!

{charlie said he was such a good stick bug that he almost walked right past him}

the lloyds and woodleys met up with Jeremy in Longview, for a Tex-opean lunch

i.e. it lasted two hours and it went by in a flash.

Even with all of that time we forgot to take a pic...sad day!

After lunch, we high-tailed it to Dallas for a Michael and Anica's wedding.

Steph and John were also amongst the invited...

{can you tell i just finished jane eyer :)}

we loved the grounds of house where the ceremony and reception took place

take oneandtake two

the wedding was beautiful and very romantic

charlie was able to meet his cousin for a ranger's game on sunday

while steph showed me all of her favorite places around the Fort Worth area.

{funny street in "dirty d"}

it was a whirlwind weekend to be sure

but the time spend with family and friends made all of the driving worth while!

we R who we R

the omni gals headed off to the woodlands to

a much anticipated

Ke$ha concert

{hot and dangerous}

lets just say there were some dinosaur masks

and at one point Santa Clause showed up...

it was a fun / bazaar concert

especially during her Cannibal song.

She did not disappoint in the glitter department.

We were covered head to toe in sparkles.

She made one lucky fan's night

and I'll spare you the photos that ensued during this serenade.

Ke$ha is a fan of the cow bell and i have

no complaints when cow bells are involved!

happy wedding day!!

to my lovely friend diane

from trying to out-smart her home alarm system

to skate boarding down her street on sunday mornings

she has been one amazing friend.

i am so glad we've all reconnected the way we have

....bff...

yay d!!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Hope you all had a restful long weekend

that felt extra-long!

We didn't take too many pictures this weekend

since most of the time we were in our PJ's.

Charlie and Jerms did take off to shoot guns

and ride 4 wheelers

This picture was right before Charlie spat

that death stick out.

Silly boy! 

We wrapped up the weekend with our wonderful friends Kati and Adam

at Papasitas restaurant in  Longview, Tx.

On our way out we saw something quite frightening...

kati: Look at that dog in that box. I don't like dogs or babies in boxes!

me: we definetly need a picture with him

We had some time to kill before Kati needed to get back for

cheer practice so we wandered over to what looked

like a fun resale shop.

Apparently they have had trouble with their

tweens shoplifting...seriously considering sending this into the Ellen Show.

Our wandering took us a little farther into a

Tuesday Morning where

Kati picked up a decorative yet descriptive tin.

She said she wanted to hang it from a chain

and wear it as a necklace...if the chain hang low

wear that shee.

We are whities fosho, 4eva!

Husband pulled a U-ie to document this hillarious

street name. 

Can you say "Red Neck"?

And who doesn't love a vintage drive-in theatre?

Cheers to a restful and fun labor day weekend!
