America's Greatest

 
 
The weekend before Halloween, alumni from all over came to Stillwater for America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration. I look forward to this all year long! It's usually rainy and nasty during Walkaround, but this year the weather was beautiful. We all met at Kim and Trey's for a little Frito chili pie before hitting the house decs. Unfortunately Krissi and Brandon didn't make it to campus with us because she wasn't feeling well and Kyle had to meet us there because he worked late. But regardless, we still had a great time admiring the creations that were the result of countless hours spent pomping.

The next day was the big game. Temps were in the 90's...yes, you read that right. Kim, Trey and I were sweating up in the cheap seats, but at least we were in the shade. The game didn't go the way we'd hoped, but we still had fun together. Poor Kyle had to miss out since it was a 2:30 game, but I sent him a few pictures so he could pretend he was there.

At the end of the day, no matter how our team plays, I'll always be proud to be a Cowboy! Go Pokes!

 This isn't a great picture, but the replica of Eskimo Joe's in FarmHouse's dec was amazing! 


 I believe this one got first place. 

 This was the Theta dec, so we had to send Krissi lots of pictures. 

 Can you spot TBP? 

 I should have gotten a picture in the tunnel like I was running out with the team. Missed opportunity...


 Yes, short sleeves and open-toed shoes and still wasn't chilly. 

 Ten years since our first homecoming as OSU students. Time flies. 

 This one was my favorite. Loyal and True! 


 Oliver was a little upset with us because we left him at home and he missed all the fun. I can only imagine how CRAZY he would have been in that mob of people.

Chi-town Shenanigans

The Tuesday before last, I left for a trip to Chicago. The annual ADRP conference was there this year and while I've been in the past, this year was different because our ENTIRE team went. There were seven of us in all, and we had so much fun together! Chicago is a place I've never really been dying to visit. I haven't been opposed, it just wasn't on the top of my list. However, after going there, I definitely want to go back. It's a very clean city and there is so much to do and so many wonderful things to see. Kyle and I will have to plan a trip there some day. If I learned one thing this trip it was that I work with the most awesome people! On the airport parking shuttle on our way home we met a lady. She said she opted to take the full shuttle because she and four of her coworkers had been together for four days and needed a little time apart. We all smiled and nodded as if we understood completely, but in that moment I couldn't. We spent our spare ti...

Love Text

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently....

Spring Break

Contrary to popular belief, the OSU Foundation is not closed during spring break. In fact, we are open on most of the university-specific holidays. However, I was fortunate to be able to take 1 1/2 days off to spend a little time with the family during their break. My parents, Zach, Stacy and Asher had planned to visit my Donahue grandparents in Kansas, so I decided to tag along. Poor Kyle had to work, but he also got to spend the weekend with Greg and Stacie. They took him to a Thunder game and then out for golf on Saturday. They also found some basketball video game Greg and Kyle used to play as kids so that entertained them for most of Saturday evening. Stacie sent me this photo. They won with a dunk during the final seconds of the game. I think they're excited! :) Back on the farm, we got to spend a little time with Landon, who is now 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big his is! He is even sitting up on his own. Asher did pretty good with him although he did unintenti...
