Oktoberfest

Since we have lived in Tulsa after college, we have made it a point to go to Oktoberfest every year. The last few years we have gone on corporate night with Trevor's work. Since Trevor switched jobs back in June, we did not have corporate night tickets. So, we just purchased tickets for Friday night with our neighbors. (By the way, this was back on October 18, so I, again, am way behind!)

Who could resist a picture like this!! My outfit was definitely not as fun as this one! 

And our neighbors are just the cutest!

Cheers!!

PISTOLS FIRIN' * HOME GAME 4

I can't believe how fast football season is going!! It's hard to believe that it's already November!!! I'm a bit behind on this post, but again, better late than never! October 25th was homecoming at OSU and we played West Virginia. We got to Stillwater really early on Saturday so we could walk around and look at all of the floats...sadly, my picture taking was not up to par! I didn't get a single picture of any of the decks!! I also was not missing pomping one bit!! 

We did however get a picture in front of library lawn!

We also ran into some former G Phi's!

And of course I got a game pic!

Unfortunately we did not pull out a homecoming victory! 

My goal next game is to get pictures of our tailgate and everything that I possibly can. Hopefully I will remember!!

Go pokes!!

Bad Luck Comes in Threes

This weekend we were hit with a string of bad luck. It all started on Thursday when we were cooking dinner. Trevor and I were both standing at our stove cooking and all of a sudden we heard a crashing noise and we noticed that my EAT wooden letters had fallen. It was one of those things that you don't notice it until it's missing, but we soon realized that there was a piece of Granite under my letters and it had fallen and broke. 

This is what it is supposed to look like: 

And as you can see the granite behind the stove fell and broke, and down went my letters! We are still wondering how we are going to fix this one!

Then, on Saturday we were cleaning out our garage since we were going to have friends over for the game. Trevor moved our ping-pong table outside while he was sweeping the floor. A gust of wind came and our ping-pong table goes flying through the air, hits our outdoor light and goes crashing to the ground in the grass. Initially, I was thinking it was a goner, but, we got really lucky and only a few easily replaceable pieces broke in the fall; our light wasn't so lucky. 

Here is what the light looks like on the opposite side...

And now it's gone. 

Lastly, Trevor was sitting in one of our outdoor chairs watching the game and his phone fell out of his pocket. It wasn't a long fall, but it must have hit just right and his screen shattered!

It would probably be best to stay away from the Morris' this week! Who knows what else will go wrong! 😩

On a different note...isn't this a cute appetizer dish! So easy to make! Bell peppers, 2 different dips, broccoli, carrots and cucumber, or whatever veggies you like! Yum!

Great for a gameday tailgate!! 

Have a great week! Hopefully our luck is looking up!

Wooo Pig Sooie!

This past weekend Trevor and I took a trip with our friends, Andrew and Katie, to Arkansas. A friend of Trevor's got us tickets to the Arkansas - Bama game, and since OSU had an away game, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take a trip and see another campus and team. Katie's dad lives near Fayetteville, so we ended up staying with him on Saturday evening.
The weather didn't exactly cooperate with us! It was raining almost the entire time, so we didn't get to tailgate much.

 

We went into the game shortly after it started and by the time we made it to our seats, the rain had let up a little. Thank goodness!

During the second half of the game we decided to hang out in the commons area with the Arkansas store and concessions. It was a covered area and was a little more enjoyable.

 We had a lot of fun learning the Arkansas chants and traditions!

Sadly, Arkansas did not pull out a win, but they sure were close!! It was a fun game to watch and it was neat to see another campus and stadium!

 

We had such a great time spending time with friends and getting to take a mini vacation! Katie's dad even made us a delicious breakfast on Sunday morning...lobster and eggs!!! Probably the most delicious breakfast I've ever had!!!

We are so fortunate to have such amazing friends! We are just loving this time in our lives!

 

PS-Even though we weren't at the game *PISTOLS FIRIN*

Zoo Day!!

Just like snow days, field trips are equally as fun when you are a teacher! I got to take my first field trip with 6th grade students this past Friday to the zoo! We had so much fun!! I have a high school intern this year that comes to my class everyday during 5th hour and she was also able to join us at the zoo. Plus, I had the best group of students accompanying me!

It was also "Pink Out" day at BA for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so that made it easy to keep track of all our kiddos!!

This year has honestly been amazing! I have some of the best students and I just love going to work each and every day! I hope that I am teaching them new things everyday, but I also know that they are making a difference in my life. 

Such a fun day!!

PISTOLS FIRIN' * HOME GAME 3

This post is about a week late, but better late than never! I have loved being in Stillwater every weekend! It definitely makes the weekend fly by a little too fast, but it's so much fun being in the tailgating environment! Here are some fun photos from last weekend vs Iowa State!

Perfect photo op!

The tuba players even came to serenade us! 

We were so excited for our Party Pics!! Well, I was excited anyway! 

I'm so glad we pulled together for another win!! Great day to be a cowboy!

Live for the Weekends

I love everything about the weekends!! Occasionally we get to sleep in, we get to see family and friends, we get to spend time together, the list goes on and on...

This past weekend was fun filled with events! Friday night Trevor and I had a date night just the two of us! Those don't happen very often, so I was super excited!! We went to Cheesecake Factory and rented a redbox. 

The next morning was an early one. We signed up to run the Race for the Cure 5k awhile back and Saturday was the day! The race started at 7:30, so we got downtown about 7:15. 

Our shirts were ones that our friend Morghan and her family made in honor of her mom that battled breast cancer and recently passed away. It is heartbreaking the number of families that are affected by breast cancer. Running this 5k is so inspiring because many survivors come out and run and so many people show their support. One of the best parts to me is as you are running, getting to read everyone's shirts and who they are running for. 

We didn't stick around to see our exact times, but I'm pretty sure I was about the same as last year and Trevor made it under 30 minutes!!

After the race we went to breakfast at BBD and then went home and took a long nap! 

That night we had bought tickets for McNellies Harvest Beer Fest! We went last year and had a great time catching up with friends, so we wanted to go again this year. 

After, we ate dinner at Albert G's BBQ and then danced a bit at Legends before making our way home. 

Today, Winnie and I have a date on the couch!! ;) Then lifechurch this evening! If you haven't made it to a service yet, you have 3 more opportunities!! 1:00, 5:00, and 6:30! #struggles

Cheer!

I am just having a great time with the new title as cheer coach. All of the girls are great to work with and although it requires quite a bit of time, I'm having fun with it. 

We've had lots of practices and one home game and one away game. 

Here is a picture of them after their first game.

This past week was BA's homecoming, so we all got crafty and decorated posters and things for our float...

Everything really came together and the girls had a great time in the parade!!

It had definitely been awhile since I had been in a parade!! 

Thankfully, BA won their homecoming game against Yukon! Go Tigers!!

11/3: adding on to this post!

Football season has ended and now onto basketball season! Here is a picture of them at the last football game! We wore pink bows all of October for Breast Cancer Awareness month!
