Texas Tech Football!!!

In exactly 111 days the 2012 Texas Tech football season will kick off in Jones Stadium. We will be there, for that game and every other one, with our new season tickets!!

I am SO excited -- this is the first year we have actually purchased a full season ticket package through the University. We got great seats on the west side (read: SHADY side) near the 30 yard line. The best part is we didn't just get 2 tickets... we got 4! Can't wait to share our purchase with friends and family throughout the season!

GUNS UP RED RAIDERS!

Beautiful Rain!

After one of the longest droughts in Texas history (it began in October 2010), it is SO fantastic to finally see some rain around here!

We had 2 big storms a couple of weeks ago but since then have had just a few days of just plain ol' slow and steady RAIN. Exactly what this dry land needs :-)

Thank you, thank you Lord for this beautiful rain!

Praying that it keeps up and the farmers end up with a wonderful crop this year.

Garden Ridge

Our great friends were nice enough to introduce us to this fantastic store while we were visiting them in San Antonio this past weekend! We found so much awesome stuff for our patio!

Be looking for a more detailed trip report, but this will have to do until I get the pics downloaded from my camera :)

Backyard Reno Continues

Soon I will have something more exciting to post about... I promise. Like a crazy fun party on our newly completed outdoor patio!

But, for now -- you will have to settle with hearing about the outdoor bar we built this weekend! I am IN LOVE with it. It turned out so much better than what I imagined and my husband is a genius for designing and building it himself.

It's the perfect height for the hot tub, which will be on one side, and bar stools will go on the other side. The only step we have left is to install 2 cabinet doors on the bottom and then when we get closer to completion we will purchase a mini-fridge to go on the far left side.
