Olympics



As much as I am loving watching the Olympics every night till 11pm or 12am, I am so ready for the closing ceremonies. I've barely gotten any sleep over the past two weeks! I seriously love watching all the events, hearing all the Olympians' stories, and cheering on the USA team and many fellow Longhorns. I'm going to miss watching the gymnastics, swimming, diving, beach volleyball and all the others until London 2012.

Giving Thanks

As two of my co-workers had to leave to go be with their parents in a hospital today, I just wanted to thank the Lord that both my parents and Patrick's parents are doing well. For those of you who don't know, Patrick's dad was in the hospital last week for internal bleeding, but was released last Friday once they felt things were under control. I don't believe they ever figured out quite what was going on, but he's doing well now. Please continue to pray for both Mike and Nancy.
We love you!

Chair of My Heritage

After finding out about a little resale shop called Homegirls in Apartment Therapy, Patrick and I spent a Saturday afternoon browsing different shops down Burnet. But we just couldn't stop thinking/talking/lusting after this little "mid-century modern, Danish" chair. We even put it on hold to dream about it for the night. But we knew (Patrick convinced me) that it belonged in our home. And I think the kitties are quite convinced as well.

The Bell Pepper

While waiting in line on opening weekend to see The Dark Knight (which I highly recommend), some friends joined Patrick and I in entering a contest for the FN Dish where you were supposed to send in a picture of an impersonation of the Iron Chef Chairman. Someone you know did end up winning, just check out the end of the slide show and this results page!

Locks of Love

After growing my hair out for a couple years, I finally had it long enough so that I could donate to Locks of Love. The ponytail ended up measuring a good 11 inches. And with record breaking heat here in Texas, I'm so glad to have that hair off my neck! Patrick took a couple steps back when he walked into our apartment that night...I guess he was just a bit surprised to see me!
