ww thanksgiving style.

That might have been the shortest 4-day weekend in history! I could use a few more days....

We drove down to Dallas this thanksgiving to spend it with my cousins. It was completely low key and boring at most times, but it was nice to get away!

My cousin Jordan and I on our way to see "Morning Glory". {If you like cheesy feel good movies this is a good one!}

Friday I met my best friend from elementary school for lunch! We hadn't seen each other in about 14 years. It was so good to catch up with  her, see her parents, and even meet her husband and daughter {baby Colt was sleeping}. She has a blessed life and I am so happy for her! Hopefully we can get together again soon. {and of course neither of us thought to take a pic!}

I spent the rest of my holiday weekend hanging out with friends from out of town.

It included dinner and Mad-Lib's at a friend's house and a full gathering to watch Bedlam {BOOMER SOONER!}

I think this is a moment we weren't playing well......

Unfortunately the Cowboy fans were completely out numbered {I believe 20-something to 3}, but they were great sports!

For the rundown on what was seriously THE BEST bedlam game I have ever watched, check out ESPN!

Hope your Thanksgiving weekend was just as great!

bedlam.

Happy Bedlam Day!

It's a scary one for us Sooners as OSU has just accomplished their first 10 win season in school history.

And well honestly...we suck on the road.

BUT

I have the faith {and a drink of my choice riding on this}!

ESPN GameDay is in Stillwater

and I can only imagine the atmosphere is tense!

BOOMER SOONER!

history.

In case you are unaware, tomorrow is bedlam.

It all started in 1904 which was held at Island Park in Guthrie, Oklahoma {Back when OSU were the Oklahoma A&M Aggies} we won 75-0

Since that moment we have dominated bedlam and we currently lead 80-15-7.

I've watched every bedlam game since the moment I stepped on campus and this was by far my most favorite moment of them all!


Gotta love some Sammy B!


AHHHHH SO EXCITING!

BOOMER SOONER!

day 20.

I was always sad growing up that I didn't have a name that allowed for a great nickname. 

My dad always has the most creative/sweet, somewhat embarrassing names for me. 

 - EBson - This lasted until I was about 12 and told him that was embarrassing.

 - Gorgeous - I'm often greeted with a "hello gorgeous!" when I call. 

Everyone else calls me "E".  

I've grown to love it over the years and have become pretty particular on who has the right to call me that.

That nickname has also cause quite the collection of "e's" in my house. They are displayed all around, and although I had almost 50 of them at one time. I put a halt on any and all purchases of them made by me and others and even sold quite a few at a garage sale this summer.

I'm looking forward to being "Aunt-E" to all my friends future kids!

turkey day.

Hope you are enjoying delicious food with your friends and family just like I am!

I STILL can't believe it's almost December!

day 19.

I miss...

...being a kid

...having nothing to worry about

...summers with no work

...high school and college

...the friends I rarely get to see

day 18.

regrets.

It's hard for me to regret things...like really regret things.

Of course I'll regret that last glass of wine I had, or that stupid 7 digit number I dialed or texted, but I looked at things I did wrong as a lesson learned. As a chance to learn from my mistake and not do it again.

Of course I've done things I'm not proud of, but it happened for a reason and I try my hardest not to let it happen again!

Live and learn.
