Spreading My Holiday Cheer

That is, Bowl Games and Christmas! I'm super pumped that we're bowl-bound! I should've shared this on Thanksgiving Day but I was busy trying to help in the kitchen. So to all you Aggies, enjoy. To my Longhorn (yes, I said it...) family members & fans, apologies. Please understand that Shelby & I enjoyed this picture that was on the Bonfire Memorial exhibit in Rudder & G. Rollie White last week.

"Watch out, Bevo. Don't snicker and sneer.
You think you're a stud but you're only a steer.
Come Thanksgiving Day you'll see what we mean, when
from your tall tower no orange light will gleam. 
You think you're bowl-bound but it's only a dream.
You've still got to meet that Fightin' Aggie team!"

I was even yelling "Boomer Sooner" last night for the chances of ou beating osu so we could have a 3-way 1st place tie in the Big 12 south and get a chance to play in the championship. It was worth a try but ou is playing nebraska and we Aggies couldn't be happier since we beat them both. So watch out world, some friends and family and I are looking for the announcement of what bowl game we're playing in to buy those tickets. ROAD TRIP!

On the Christmas aspect, I enjoyed some jolly music on my way to-and-from the horse barn this evening. It put me in a delightful mood and can't wait for the colder weather, christmas trees, lights, more music and going home for the holidays. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Even though Shelby thinks I'm Scruge, I'm not going to be sitting on my fanny and saying Ba-Humbug. I'm going to try to help out at the food bank or at the church here and back home and sing all the great songs at the top of my lungs in more places than just the privacy of my home.

Any ideas for stocking stuffers for my parents & sister?


Shelby & I at the Arbuckle Wedding

Watch Out World, I'm a Legalized Young Woman!

I've been meaning to post this for some time but I just couldn't make myself to do it or I wasn't able to upload pictures at those times. So anyways, it's finally feeling like autumn in Aggieland and I love all of the fall colors! I can't wait for Thanksgiving and bowl games, the end of this semester, and the jolly Christmas season! How about that win on Saturday?!?! Unfortunately, I started to freak out about my exams and went to the car in the middle of the 3rd quarter to study. I missed it all but no worries, sister has a video and pictures! This semester has flown by so fast we have about 10 school days left in the semester! Which means finals are approaching & I have to study during Thanksgiving...ew.



Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Rand Arbuckle. They're wedding was absolutely amazing and I had a lot of fun yet the paper and exam I had the following week (which was last week).

Me on Aubrey's 20 Quarter Horse, Strutt
 I just finished two exams this week, went to E-Walk to take my picture with an elephant and treated myself with a lesson at Aubrey's with my pony, Angie. Aubrey is an awesome horsewoman and friend that I've known since May. I started leasing Angie in August and have enjoyed her so much! She takes my weekly stressers away and I can't wait for the 2011 shows to start up. Aubrey calls me a scaredy cat because I won't jump Angie sometimes. Ok, so I can be a fraidy cat but I'm thinking safety of my tooth. And to those who don't know, I had my implant surgery August 27th and it was successfully been in my mouth since! My braces came off October 21st and I got a retainer the same day with the same tooth I've had since I was 15. Hopefully, Santa brings me my one front tooth for Christmas!

I turned 21 on September 25th. I was still recovering from my surgery & I had a horse show the next day so I didn't want to over do it. Key to all you alcoholic beverage enthusiasts: Eat Protein before! It soaked the alcohol up and TADA!!! NO HANGOVER! But it was an early morning to get to the show and no one decided to show up so Aubrey & I tacked up anyways and I schooled on both of her horses.

Emily, Me & Stacey
It's been a rollercoaster semester but I've made it this far. I wish you all a safe & Happy Turkey Day!Gig 'em Aggies! Saw 'em Off!!!
