Hook'em horns!

Alright folks, I have some exciting news to share. Well, at least exciting to me. I have now been to a Texas/OU game. I feel as if much of my football watching career has led up to this momentous occasion. And when my mother told me on Saturday, August 22 that I would be going this year, I began preparing mentally for what was to ensue. I must say...I was not dissappointed. It all started Friday night, after a long LONG day driving, we arrived at our family friends' house in Arlington around 10pm. The party had already started (and been going on) complete with 20 or so Texas fans all decked out in their best Texas gear, getting amped for the following day's game. Such fun was to be had. I have posted a few pictures of the crowds, the game, and I apologize in advance for no pictures of people. I managed to forget to take those. Too stressful of a game. I mean, never lacked for excitement, but can we say whoa, Texas...what happened to your offense? I don't really want to talk football. Just wanted to say I had a great time with my family and friends, and I know my mother was looking down and helping out the horns just a little bit. To her, I say thanks.

Go horns!

Yay! We won!

(insert huge sigh here)

Aw, poor sooners decided to leave. But cool divide, huh?

And who could miss the Texas toga?
(He had a belt buckle too, but I couldn't get a shot of the front.
Just wasn't quick enough.)

well well well

I have the most boring blog ever. I don't really care all that much, but I do feel the need to acknowledge that fact. I'm not stupid...just not all that into keeping this up. However, it may be good to update it every now again to record for all time (or at least the forseeable future) what happens in my life.

So, I have had mono for a while now. I had to miss 3 days of school...in addition to the other 2 days of school I missed a couple of weeks ago because of a bad cold. What increases your chances of contracting this blessed "kissing" disease? 1) stress [haven't had any of that lately] 2) overwork or fatigue [I'm sure starting this year the way I did in a new grade hasn't caused me to work extra hard or worry or miss any sleep] 3) weakened immune system [previously mentioned bad cold] SO, that's what's been going on as of lately for me.

Just to prove having mono truly does suck...

Anyway, I guess that's all. I hope you are staying healthy and well.
