Football Season

One of the perks of Blake attending Pharmacy School is that we have first dibs on OU Football season tickets at a very discounted price. So, we took full advantage and have been to two games so far. The first it was pouring rain, the entire time, so I didn't take out my camera. We were more fourtunate this time around. Here are some photos from OU vs Tulsa. Final score:45 to 0.

School & Shows

School is consuming Blake's life right now, while shows are consuming mine. I had a show last weekend and another this weekend, then the fair Oct 1-11. Plus I've been doing really well at getting public outreach engagements, which is really good, but has involved a few 9:30 nights during the week, which makes for a long day. At least I really enjoy the actual events, just not the time away from the hubs and our puppies.

Our two year anniversary is next Tuesday (can't believe it's been two years already!!!), and we are celebrating Friday night to coincide with Tulsa's Restaurant Week, where you can eat a three course meal at a realllly nice restaurant for a fixed price, with a portion of the proceeds going to charity.

Next weekend I am going down to visit Cory, Kristina and Briley in TX and Shane, Carrie and my other two nieces are going down as well. Blake has three tests that following week, so he won't be coming with me, but I'm excited to spend some time with my fam and especially all three of my angel girls:) I love, love, love being Auntie Lori. Can't wait for those pictures!

More pics of Briley

Here is a link to some more pictures of Briley. Overall I'm really happy with the way they turned out. Only frustrating thing is that I know that with a few years of practice I'll be better and there's no getting these early moments back. No amount of practice with a cabbage patch doll can compare to the real thing. I really wish I had started all of this when my oldest niece, Madera was born so I could have pics of her and Savannah. I just hope my pictures capture all the love Cory and Kristina have for Briley and how loved she is by her Auntie Lori.

This weekend is OU's first home game! I have a show Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but we're going to head to the game after I check on things. We won't get to tailgate, but work comes first. Blake has his first test this Friday, so keep him in your prayers. He's already really busy with school and site visits and his organizations. I think we were both more prepared this year for what to expect. How was everyone's Labor Day holiday?

Briley

Here are some pictures I took of Briley over the weekend. I've always had a passion for photography, but I'm thinking of taking some classes. If you know anyone having a baby or getting married etc, I'd love some practice- they can have full resolution copies of all the pictures!

MS150

150 miles on a bike. That's ONE HUDRED FIFTY MILES! All in the name of raising money to fight Multiple Sclerosis. No, I am not brave enought to do this race, but my cousin's husband, Steve, is. Click here to read about Steve's journey, and for who he is riding. Then, be a really nice person and donate to the cause.

As I read about Steve and his reluctance to ask people for money, I completely identified with him. I hate asking people to donate money to something I am doing. HOWEVER, I feel no shame in asking people to donate to other people when I believe in what they are doing!:)
