Holiday Decorating

November 24, 2007

My roommates Amanda, Courtney, and I are hosting a game night at our apartment tonight, so we decided we wanted to decorate the place for Christmas first. We all love the holidays and are very excited about it. So this morning, before Courtney woke up, Amanda brought out her share of the decorations, which include some creations she hand-painted herself. When Courtney woke up and emerged from her room, this was (more or less) the conversation that followed: Courtney: (sarcastically) Ahh, the ceramics. I’ve missed them. Amanda: I just don’t see how you don’t think they’re cute! Courtney: Um, well, hmm… Amanda: I mean do you see how much work I put into this? Look at the bricks on the…

Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2007

For Thanksgiving Boyfriend David and I spent a good part of the day over at my parents’ house with my family. I helped my mom cook while he hung out with the boys. Then we ate a yummy meal and were satisfied: After dinner we went out to visit his family at his aunt and uncle’s house. They live in the country and had this giant hay bale turkey set up, so we had some fun with it! Here we are with David’s brother Chris, Chris’s girlfriend Kim, and his dog Sydney. Sydney jumped up there all by herself, by the way! To see the rest of my Thanksgiving pictures, visit my Flickr account here.

My youngest brother Barry is graduating from Texas Tech in December. He was at the game on Saturday when Tech beat Oklahoma. Afterwards he called my dad and said (roughly): “Dad, you’ll be so proud of me. I didn’t rush the field right at first because the cops were arresting people and I didn’t want to get arrested right before I graduate. So I waited for the second wave of people to rush the field once the cops had been overwhelmed and were just letting everyone go!” My roommate’s younger brother is Barry’s roommate, and when she asked him about rushing the field he said, “Nah, if I’m going to get arrested in Lubbock it’s going to be for something…
