Finally

These are the pictures that I promised from mine and Chris' trip to Colorado. We had the privilege of staying at the beautiful home of Bruce and Donna McDonnall, and we want to immensely thank them for their hospitality. We had a great time!
Finally in COLORADO

Boring drive, lots of nothing.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful
Here is a Buffalo that was staring me down. Dont worry dad, I didnt get this close, I used my zoom!
This is my good-looking boyfriend, Ladies, HE'S TAKEN--NO TOUCHY!
This is a view of the Sangre de Christo mountains, which are in front of the McDonnall's house. A long time ago, there was a Mexican Conquistador that looked at these mountains during sunrise and he was reminded of the "blood of Christ", which is what Sangre de Christo stands for.
The McDonnall's named their place "Sangre Sunrise" due to the Sangre de Christo mountains.
I got kinda excited about the snow, so I thought I would make a snow angel!
Finished product

So, we went to this place called "Bishop's Castle". This place is HUGE! It is built by this crazy man. He is building it himself but the whole place does not meet any type of building code, so it is extremely shaky and wobly. This man has a grudge out against the government or something. He has built this house in honor of his son who died several years ago. As you can see, there are very high towers adn some people climb all the way to the top, KNOWING that this thing is not up to code, idiots! Also, if you take a close look at the front of the house at the top, there is a dragon's head pertruding from the house. We were told that this head is connected to the fireplace inside the house, so when this man starts a fire in the house, the smoke comes out of the dragon's mouth.
So, there was thiss really tall chair that this crazy man built. It kinda looks like a king's chair. I had to climb up into this chair.

This is the view we had behind us from the shooting range. You just cant take bad pictures here!

Here is Chris with the shotgun.

This is a .45 pistol that I shot. This thing has a lot of kick, so Mr. Bruce said it was best that I sit down and shoot it.

I give props to Jacque for sending me a copy of this bumper sticker. I thought it was too great to pass up! In the next few days I will be posting pictures from our trip to Colorado, but if you would like to see some now, visit Chris' blog!

So, this is where Chris and I are going for Thanksgiving. This is downtown Westcliffe, CO. We are visiting some of Chris' friends who live there. It will be a quick trip, but I think it will be good to get out of the FLATLANDS. Unfortunately, I do not think that we will get to see any snow. It is supposed to snow the day after we leave (according to weather.com), but we are supposed to have clear weather the whole time we are there. I am very thankful that we are able to take this trip and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to share in this experience. So, more pictures to come once we return!!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

The Saturday before Thanksgiving has been one of the most stressful days of the year for me for the past five or six years. This is always the day that Auburn University dukes it out with the University of Alabama. This has been affectionately named the Iron Bowl. At this point, it does not matter how many games we have one or lost, just so long as we win the Iron Bowl. If we lose all other games but this one, then we can count ourselves as having a successful season. This year the Iron Bowl will be in Auburn, which has not proved to be a great thing for us in the past, but we are hoping that the support of our fans will pull us through this year. Below are some pictures of the Iron Bowl from last year when we dominated the Tide.



We want ...




...more takles on Alabama!


...more touchdowns for Auburn!


...leaping tackles by our defenders!!


...the win!!


...Tubberville to get wet!!

VS.

Well, here we are folks, we knew this day would come, and it is quickly approaching. Saturday, the Auburn Tigers will go up against the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens. This will be a trying day not only because at this point it is anybody’s game, but Chris and I have decided to watch the game together. We will be making our famous queso, a.ka. “Man’s dip” and there will be friends there to keep the peace. There will be no trash talk, only boisterous cheering for our respective teams, because we all know that the louder we cheer, the better they will be.

So, in the words of the wise Garth and Wayne, GAME ON!!

Fun times with the boyfriend

Chris really wanted to be batman for Halloween, but we couldn't affor $2.88 for this mask.


Well, Chris needed a haircut the other day because his hair was getting pretty long and since I am now his barber, I got out the clippers and went to shavin'. Can anyone tell the shape that I left on his head once I shaved the other parts?

Ok, so maybe I do have something to post...

Some of you may have already seen this, but I thought you should see it again. I received this from Madison (mad props) in an email at work.

Why English Teachers Die Young:
Actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gentlycompressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances likeunderpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E.coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because
of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling
ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled
with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m.instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry
them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.

18. Even in his last years, Grandpappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

23. The ballerina raised gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

26. Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH cleanser.

27. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

28. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to
the wall.

Here is your update

Ok, this isn't going to be much of an update....the picture below isnt me, but imagine that the little girl is me and all the books are falling on my head!! That is what I feel like. I have tests to take, papers to write, assignments to work on.....ugh, every free moment for the next couple of days will be spent in the TCU library or the SWBTS library. So, this is the punkette updating, it isnt much, but it is all I have to offer.
