Brotherly Love

Oreo (or P.I.T.A. as we have nicknamed him) is a FUN-FUN-FUN kitty! He absolutely loves and adores Deuce and wants to snuggle with him all of the time, whether Deuce wants to or not!

Bonfire 2009

This 100th year of Texas Aggie Bonfire was my first Bonfire in more than a decade, and my first Student Bonfire. Duane & I, along with the Dragers (Noah's very 1st Bonfire!!!) and thousands of others were on hand to hear the speakers, yell the yells, and sing the songs. Bonfire would be better back on campus, with full support and participation from the University, and I look forward to the day it returns. But, the students who worked so tirelessly to cut, build, and burn should be commended for their hard work and for doing such a great job keeping this century-old tradition alive. They built one great Bonfire!!! WHOOP!

Waiting for it to light up!

It had rained in the days prior to the burn, and so this was a common sight in the pasture-turned-parking lot!

Red pots, getting ready to light up Bonfire!

This year was a bit different; they lit 12 smaller bonfires, in memory of the 12 who died in the 1999 collapse and in honor of the Texas Aggie 12th Man!

Burn, baby, burn!

WHOOP!!!

3 Years & Counting!

A few weeks ago, Duane & I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary.  Since we had just been to Los Angeles, we kept it low key, and only went out to dinner at Eccell Steakhouse (YUM-O!!!).  It has been a WONDERFUL 3 years, and we are looking forward to many, many more!

Our wedding day...

Our First Anniversary...
And, Anniversary #3...
