Shootin' Stuff

We spent a weekend with the Bessires out in Sylvester, TX, getting back to nature. It was really fun and I experienced a lot of new things. For one, I shot my first hand gun. Yikes! Is it weird that I am more afraid of handguns than shot guns? I like to talk with my hands...a lot.... and I just know that when I have a small gun in my hand I'm going to forget about it, start waiving it around and probably shoot someone in the leg, if I'm lucky. So that was a huge thing for me. I also shot clay targets for the first time! This was more up my alley since the shotgun was so heavy that I would never forget that it was in my hands. The next morning I felt like I had been in a losing bar fight though and was bruised up from the recoil of the shotgun... I don't even know if that's the right term. We fed their cows and donkeys and rode four wheelers all day saturday. I bonded with a cow, it was pretty awesome. We stayed up and played poker, which Bets insisted that we all wear hats to play, and sat around the fire pit catching up. It was really beautiful out there. I don't think I will be shooting anything living anytime soon ( I make B take spiders outside & not squish them), but it was a trip that I am looking forward to making again!

O.S. Who?

My parents came in for OSU weekend! We tailgated and went to the game. Me & Mom's feet hurt so bad after the game! All in the name of looking good I guess. If you call looking good walking back to tailgate with your shoes in your purse and your socks covered in coke & peanut shells. We were all so tired that we called it a night after the game. Poor Brian had an awful time trying to come pick us up! What a sweet guy to deal with that traffic so we didn't have to walk. We slept in this morning which was AMAZING & went to grab lunch before they left town. It was nice to spend a weekend with my family, and we will spend next weekend in Midland with Brian's side. We are VERY excited for OU weekend even though we will be the enemy, I think it will still be a good time. I will post again after this weekend at the ranch!

The Family (sounds like the mob)

Halloween & UT weekend

We had such a fun weekend. Trevor, Stephanie, Tad and Blessing were all in town and we had a few people over for some costume fun. The game was AMAZING! I am so glad that we did not sell our tickets after all. I love spending that time with Brian because it is something that we can do just the two of us (and 55,000 other people). We will be going to the game tomorrow, my parents will be in town and their tickets are on the row behind us so more than likely we will be able to sit together. My friend Jean has free season tickets at OU through his work so we will be making the trip to that game and staying with him. On the off week we are heading to the ranch in Midland then after the OU game is Thanksgiving so we pretty much have a full month! As soon as we know it, it will be Christmas! YIKES! I will have more pictures to post soon! Have a great weekend & Wreck 'em!
