Goodbye Glob!

I'm Now a Former Student!

December 18, 2009 I officially graduated from Texas A&M University

Let the Chaos Begin

Trusting in Jesus this week as I start the t-minus 20 day march to marriage.

Finals, graduation, moving, Christmas, a wedding, beginning of a new life...

All of that is so small compared to the greatness of God and His peace.

I am so excited to start a walk of faith with Him into the unknown!

Monday Night Football

The Monday before Thanksgiving (yeah, this post is a little late) I went to my first MNF game! Colin and I drove down to my dad's office and then we all drove over to the stadium. The energy was great and fans were excited...

My two favorite guys... My Dad and my Husband-to-be

Quick snapshot outside the stadium

Great picture of my Dad and me- I was wearing an XL shirt my Dad gave me from September's MNF giveaway... it was big but at least I was wearing "Battle Red"

Some men that everyone was excited about... I think one was a hall-of-famer... couldn't tell you which one though

Colin knew who they were!

Even though I didn't know who they were, I was excited to get a picture with them in the background... well, sort of in the background, I think we're blocking most of them

The Texans lost in a tragic last minute field goal miss... either way, it was a fun night filled with excitement, yelling fans, Shiner bock, good/greasy food, and football. Go Texans!

The Wizard of Oz

I used to watch the Wizard of Oz several times a day every day when I was a kid. It's on TV and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Trusting

"Your cross testifies in grace

Tells of the Father's heart to make a way for us

Now boldly we approach

Not by earthly confidence

It's only by Your blood..."

Aggie Ring

I have finally received my Aggie ring!

After transferring from Texas Tech and jumping through hoops to meet all the requirements at A&M I had enough residency hours to get a ring. I'm excited to feel like an official Aggie and have a visible sign on my finger that the end of school is near. My parents came to celebrate with me and my mom even went to her first yell practice!

Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck! Whoop!
