Victory!

We went to the Baylor-OU game this year, and Baylor won!!!! It was the first time EVER that Baylor has beat OU! My brother, Travis, is a senior at OU so he was pretty bummed but it sure was an exciting milestone for Baylor Football.

RG3!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Griffin won the Heisman! It sure is an exciting time to be a Baylor Bear!Did I also mention that the women's basketball team is ranked #1 and the men's team is ranked #6?!!!! Woohoo!

GO ARMY BEAT NAVY!

The Army Navy game is on today on CBS! It's quite an experience to go to this game-you must try to get to one someday if you have never been. Jordan is always excited to watch this game every year. I think his memories of West Point grow fonder with every year since his being there. Here are some photos from the 2006 game, such good memories!Fly-over before the game.

Isn't he so handsome in his uniform!
The marching is my favorite part-it's truly amazing!
Lining up before the marching outside the stadium. Jordan hated this. They had to be there so early and it was always freezing!
This is Jordan's company.

No Fence!

We moved into a new place at the end of October (I will post pictures soon once I get the Christmas decor up!). It's perfect because it has a backyard for Major. We really needed one because sometimes Jordan is out of town and I'll be gone for about 13 hours at a time when I'm at the hospital. My dad put in a dog door so our problem was fixed. Anyways, I came home Monday night after being gone all day and came home to this:

No fence! They decided to take down the old fence and put up a new one! They never notified us so I left Major at home, and he apparently had free reign that day but he didn't run off! He is just the most wonderful dog because he was still there waiting for me to come home!

Baylor Homecoming

A few weekends ago we went to Baylor Homecoming with Jack, Karol, and Jason. We had a great time!Baylor v. Missouri--yes, we won! It was a really exciting game!
Tailgating before the game.
Cigars before the game.
Big O's at George's on Saturday. If you've never been to George's in Waco, it is a must!
George's--we went to the new location, which was really nice.

The traditional picture in front of the Mums--they were especially gorgeous this year!

Parade.
Parade again.

So sweet...

Gordon, 94, and Norma Yeager, 90, of Des Moines, Iowa, were married for 72 years. According to a local report, from high school onward they wanted to be together forever. On Earth, they got about as close to “forever” as any human couple could ask for, and last week they died an hour apart while holding hands with each other.

Watch the local KCCI-TV report from Kansas City, Iowa:

KCCI reports the couple’s son, Dennis Yeage, as saying the couple was in a car accident last Wednesday, which put them in intensive care. Nurses did not separate the couple. Gordon died first but, as Dennis says in the news clip, Gordon’s heart monitor was still registering a beat. This is because the monitor was picking up Norma‘s heart beat through Gordon’s hand. Norma died an hour later:

“Staying together for 72 years is good, I‘d say that’s exceptional,” said daughter Donna Sheets.

[...]

“Neither one of them would’ve wanted to be without each other. I couldn’t figure out how it was going to work,” said Donna Sheets. “We were very blessed, honestly, that they went this way.”

KCCI reports that the couple was buried holding hands in their casket on Monday.

Today Marks 6 Months!

Jordan had his brain hemorrhage exactly 6 months ago today. His doctor had told us afterwards that he was at a slightly increased risk for the next 6 months for having another one. Well, he made it 6 months, so hopefully he will never have another one! yay! He really only has one symptom that has hung around...he really struggles with drinking frozen drinks haha. He seems to get brain freezes easier (which is what his neurosurgeon likened the brain hemorrhage to feeling like- a horrible, constant brain freeze for about a week). Whenever he has a margarita or other frozen drink he seems to get a brain freeze quicker and it takes longer to go away. We're just glad that seems to be the only lasting effect!

OU Football Weekend

A few weekends ago we went up to Norman with my parents to visit my brother, Travis. We went to an OU football game, which they of course dominated. My dad got some fantastic pictures- I especially love the one of all the fans with their hands up!

Another touchdown celebration...

This is the picture I was talking about-so cool!

We also got to see Jordan's grandma and his cousins and aunt and uncle. It was one busy day, but a fun one!

Shay is married!

My good friend, Shay, got married this weekend! It was a fabulous wedding, and we had a wonderful time. I stole this picture off facebook so excuse it's not-so-great quality. Jordan was an usher and I was in the house party so we had an almost full-day of festivities. Jack and Karol came up for it, and it was wonderful to see them too! One of my favorite thing at the reception was these cute little Dr. Pepper floats, which was a fun Baylor-ish thing! :)

Congratulations Shay and Adam!

Interesting

I went to the grocery store today, and I saw something so interesting that I must share! There was a parade/festival today right by the grocery store I go to, and a lot of the attenders were in costumes or outfits or whatever you want to call it. Two men were over by the deli counter, dressed like this:
Police hat.

Heels similar to these.
And speedos. Yes, speedos. Striped, colorful speedos that show lots of skin. And no shirts.

It sure is hard not to stare when two men are dressed like that! It gave me a good laugh though!

woops!

We cracked up at this in the newspaper today!

Date Weekend

Jordan has been traveling a lot lately for work. He flies out early Monday morning and flies back late Thursday night. Needless to say, after a few weeks of this (which I think it's been about 6 weeks or so of this give or take some) we needed some good ole date time together! The weekends toward the end of the summer seemed to be pretty busy so we planned absolutely nothing for Labor Day weekend. It was wonderful! It was a 4-day weekend for both of us. We went and saw The Debt, which was very good. We also tried a new restaurant, went to brunch at Coal Vines, went to dinner, played a soccer game, sunned at the pool, went to the driving range (I actually got a few balls in the air this time! haha) and just enjoyed each other. By the way, if you live in the Dallas area you have to go to Coal Vine's Sunday Brunch and get the quiche-it's so yummy! I was bad about picture taking and took a whopping zero pictures so all you get is my boring writing! :)

A New Place!

We just signed a lease for a condo! We are really excited to be in a new place, but not vey excited to move again. Our current apartment is just too small for us, and we really wanted a backyard for Major. It's still a 1 bedroom condo, but it's 300 square feet bigger and has a backyard and garage.The backyard. We had it written into the lease that we could purchase a new backdoor and install a doggie door for Major. This way I won't have to worry about him when Jordan is out of town and I'm working a 12-hour shift.
This is taken from the living room. The fireplace is there on the left, this is the door to the backyard, and the eat-in kitchen area is there to the right.

Nice kitchen!

Sleepy Major

Major had a mass removed off his paw this morning. He's been so cute since I brought him home, just sleeping away. He is so tired from the anesthesia and somewhat grumpy too I might add! Surgery was a success they said, and it was a benign lump so yay!

Thief!

Jordan traveled last week for work, and when he travels he reads quite a bit on his kindle. I received an email Thursday night confirming the purchase of a kindle book (our Amazon account sends e-mails to my email address whenever something new is bought). No big deal, except of course the title of the book: Confessions of a Vixen. Yes, I know exactly what kind of book this sounds like so when Jordan got home I mentioned the book to him. Well, turned out someone had snatched his kindle from him at the airport and had the nerve to buy some porno book with pictures and all (I might be guilty of looking up the book to see if it was what it sounds like!) We had a good laugh about that! I also ordered him a new one since he was really upset about it getting stolen, and will be traveling a lot the next few months.

Coyote Bluff

I can't believe I forgot to mention that we ate at Coyote Bluff when we went to Amarillo! My grandma and papa had taken us there several years ago, but we had never taken Jordan there. It is known for it's Burger From Hell, which is what the show, Man V. Food, highlighted when it filmed in Amarillo. It is delicious! It's definitely a place you wouldn't enter without hearing how good it is since it looks a little run down! My favorite thing is the toilet in the front that has fake flowers in it, haha (you can just barely see it in this picture to the left of the front deck).

Amarillo & Nanny's Birthday

We went to Amarillo a few weekends ago to celebrate my Nanny's 80th birthday! We had a big get-together with that side of the family on Saturday night to celebrate her birthday, and we also saw the other side of the family. It was a busy, busy weekend trying to fit in visiting with all the family, but we had a wonderful time!

Christmas pic for my parents maybe? haha

Jordan wakeboarding. Travis, my dad, and Jordan went to the lake Saturday morning on my Uncle Rickey's boat. He looks so cute!

Hot hot hot!

I have to say our original post assignment of Fairbanks, Alaska sure sounds good right about now!
