Funny things
"Heritage not Hate" I love the South and Virginia.
I'm not anti-Obama but we saw this on I-95 on our way to Maryland for Thanksgiving
If only Malt-o-meal knew the connotations of "muffin top."
This does not make me want to eat this cereal.

2 more Texas pics
shopping at Off Saks - my true Texas colors. (I actually think these boots are hideous and absolutely did not purchase them)
also, across the country I saw signs encouraging people not use their cell phones and in Texas they have signs that promote cell phone usage - only in accident situations, but still. love it.
Thanksgiving in Maryland
Since we couldn't make it out to Idaho for Thanksgiving this year, we decided to visit my side of the family in Maryland. My grandpa and my aunt and uncle and family live near Washington DC. On Thursday, we had a delicious thanksgiving dinner with everyone, played lots of farkel and three dimes. We spent Friday and Saturday shopping, golfing (not me), a quick trip to the temple, eating more food, and watching football. The BYU win over Utah was the icing on the cake! All in all, a great trip and it was a good weekend spent with my grandpa.
I've never done black friday shopping before, but this year I had a few things in mind. I ended up at Target while Aaron, my uncle, and my grandpa were golfing and bought Christmas gifts that gave me $40 in gift cards. We had thought about buying a camera since Aaron took his camera fishing and my camera is getting old and obsolete. So I bought a camera - a Nikon Coolpix S220 10 mpx and 3x zoom. After some further research, we bought a Nikon Coolpix S570 with 12mpx and a 5x zoom for $30 more at Best Buy (they don't carry this camera at target). Now we have 2 cameras and have to return one of them. Does anyone have an opinion on whether 2 more megapixels really makes a difference? We have decided to "sit on it" and make a decision this week.
Also, I loved that I showed up at Target at 11am and still got the deals I was looking for when some people lined up at 5am!
We had a great break and we are ready for finals to be over in a week and a half!

Texas Football
I went home last weekend for a "work trip." I am working for my parents part time over the internet while I'm in school and I needed to go home to learn how to do some stuff. I arrived Thursday afternoon and left Monday afternoon. We worked on Friday and Monday morning and played in between. I made it back to Richmond in time for my 7pm class on Monday.
On Saturday I got to go to the Katy ISD's biggest football game of the season. My parents were invited to go with some friends so I got to tag along. My old high school, Cinco Ranch, played 6 time state champion (including last year), Katy High School. Both teams were undefeated and last year Cinco beat Katy (which we never could do when I was in high school). I was so pumped for the game and it brought back SO many fun high school memories.

intimidating sea of red...Katy's side.
I miss that cougar head.
COUGARS!!
Cinco lost 21-20. It was so sad! We missed the last extra point kick and it was a definite let down. It stinks that it just an extra point that lost it. It was fun though and I'm glad I got to go!
