Weekend Winning

So what do you do after you've met up with friends for a little adult socializing? You end up where you first began.

At least according to my hubby, because that's exactly what we did.  It took me a minute but as soon as we turned on the street, I knew. The bar where we first met.

I've only been there twice - the night we met and during my scavenger hunt marriage proposal (mad props to the hubby for such an awesome and fun proposal) and that second time I didn't actually even go into the bar.  Talk about a blast from the past.

It was so weird - it was the same and yet so different. Definitely not as big as I remember it - I swear the dance floor was half as small as it was 14 years ago.  But the tables and chairs were the same. I could even pick out the spot where I was sitting when he came up to ask me to dance, to which I promptly shot him down. Dude, I'm hanging out with my girlfriend - leave me alone...but he was persistent and confident and not afraid to go for what he wanted. Three traits that always pay off.

And what about those Sooners? Wow, what a game! I was tense the entire time. I just felt like we had so much riding on this game and TCU is a decent team. And Mayfield...man, I was nervous watching him scramble. I said to my husband "He needs to watch it, he's going to get hurt." and then immediately after he gets a cheap shot hit and is out the rest of the game. Perine, Mixon - the game was full of injuries.  And then at the very end TCU bounced back and I almost thought we were going into overtime. And if we would have, they would have won it. No doubt in my mind, they would have. I don't think I took a breath the entire last play. So intense!

I am just a teeny, tiny bitter because I was thisclose to getting to go to the game. I had my hands on some tickets but the hubby wasn't feeling well and didn't want to be out in the cold. Normally, I would have told him to throw on an extra layer of clothes and suck it up but then I remembered coughing on his pillow...man, karma is a real bitch!

And we are officially in the building process!  They poured the footing for our house - finally!  It took forever to finally nail down a contractor. It's hard because we aren't using a builder. Contractors pretty much ignore you if you aren't a builder. Makes sense, they need to make their builders happy to keep the business rolling in. So some dude calling for a one-time job just doesn't rank. It's taken us over two months. I can tell this process is going to be a lot slower than we anticipated...

Family pictures tomorrow! I spaced and totally didn't get our outfits planned. Yes, I'm that cheesy person that coordinates picture outfits. That usually requires buying a few things but I didn't have time. So we're going with an OU theme. Only because that's something I can easily throw together. I am a Sooner fan, but we're doing this more out of necessity than team spirit.

But who knows, maybe we'll be able to coordinate this to the year we made it to the Big 12 Championship game. Oh wait. We don't do that anymore.  Grrrrrrr.  Okay, so maybe this will be the year we make it to the playoffs. Fingers crossed!
