Happy Halloween and GOOO TECH!



Well here it comes, the weekend everyone at our house and town for that matter, has waited on all week!

The streets are already crazy and crowded, tents are lined up around the block at the stadium, and I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about TECH doing work on the longhorns. YES LOWERCASED!

and to make it EVEN BETTER, our family and three of my best friends are coming into town! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I love it!

So here's to a HAPPY HALLOWEEN FRIDAY, and an even better weekend.....GOOOO TECH!!!

and for the record, I am not at all against praying for a victory!!

LOVE!

Rob and Big!








We were Rob and Big last night at Paige and Mark's Halloween Party! Aaron was SOO FUNNY! Most of the people there really thought he was black! haha!

Oh and cover your eyes when you look at the picture of Ricky Bobby and Borat! His costume was a THONG in the back! OH my goodness, it was funny....It was a tie breaker for best costume between Big Black and Borat, and Borat won by one vote!

We had lots of fun!
Hope you have a good week, and get ready to cheer on the Raiders to BEAT THOSE LONGHORNS!!

Ramblings 101

Yes I can tell it is going to be one of THOSE........

Not a super fun look at all my fun pictures, nope, my brain is racing again and I am going to let my little fingers type it all out!!

Random thought 1: I just got back from a high school/junior high youth group where Barron Batch spoke(running back for TECH.) God did an INCREDIBLE job through him! It was very cool to see kids look up to him yet he gave ALL the glory to his Father!

At this very same function, we happen to be sitting behind some junior high kids, maybe even freshmen..... I almost broke a ten commandment, the one about killing people. If I am ever around you, and I throw out the idea that I think it would be fun to teach or coach at the Jr. High level....SLAP ME! I almost pinched their little heads off! AHH! they were being totally rude and loud while some people were making some big decisions....

That being said I could tell I was letting myself get frustrated with them, so I prayed for them. NOT to brag on Ashley, but because I was so quickly reminded that they too are His kiddos, His very own! I REALLY have a whole new appreciation for God's patience, as well as those who work with that age. I am not kidding when I say you are set apart and special! WOW

random 2: I am in LOVE with the song that is playing right now on our blog, ....I am not my own. I've been carried by you all my life......its just so true, and thank goodness!

random 3: I have had an idea bouncing around in my head about getting stuff together for some local kids at Christmas time. I want to be really intentional about it, and get lots of people involved, but at the same time let it be a learning experience as to how stinkin blessed we all are, and not let any glory go to those involved. Instead to our Father who has blessed us and provided for us.....so if you have any great ideas let me know......I want my/or any highschool kids to be a part of it as well.

4: I have had a really good day. I say that because Wednesdays are usually just well, Wednesdays, but today for some reason I have just been joyful, it's fun, I want to be like this all the time!

5: I have been studying like CRAZY for my spanish test that is on Saturday, so if you are one of the 3 people who read this, will you pray for me to be poised and relaxed and well as remember everything I have studied?>!! I think I can kick it's butt, but it's really tough so we'll see about that!

6. I love my husband!

That's all, I just took a deep breath...it felt good to get that all out!

Who knew this could be therapeutic! ha

Hope your week is full of J-O-Y!!

I want to blog, but I don't have pictures

I do need to say that my volleyball girls beat the best team in the district last night. Yes they did! I was so stinkin proud of them! I just wanted to squeeze em!

then again I won't make this long, because we all know blogging with out pics is just not the same as blogging with them.

Yeah for going to lunch with Nanny and Tanner tomorrow....YEA!
