Midterms

Midterm week at school is not joke.  I'm going to throw it out there, I don't like it.  I hate having multiple tests to study for and take on top of assignments due and classes to attend.  It is always a week I can't wait to be done with, but it always seems to linger.  The good news... It's Thursday, which means Friday is tomorrow.  Friday=weekend....  I can't wait! 

Grammar

I wish I would have been taught proper grammar in high school.  Trying to learn the rules of grammar this late in life is a task.  Studying, studying, studying...

I'll need to cut this one short.  It's been a good week, but not a whole to lot to say.

"Texas fight, Texas fight..."

Saturday's in the Fall are crucial for my health.  I was pumped all week for Saturday's match up of BYU-TX.  I was expecting a good showing from BYU, but knew my boy's would get a W.  The game wasn't a blowout as I was hoping, but still a win.  Our quarterback situation has been all over the place, finally I'm sure that the Gilbert experiment is over, and a decision on McCoy or Ash will be made.  I hope the reigns are given to McCoy.  We've got a few weeks until the Red River Shootout against Oklahoma....  Let's get it going and get it done!

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,

And it's goodbye to A&M.

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,

And we'll put over one more win.

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,

For it's Texas that we love best.

Give 'em Hell, Give 'em Hell, Go Horns Go,

And it's good-bye to all the rest!

Yea Orange! Yea White!

Yea Longhorns! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Texas Fight! Texas Fight,

Yea Texas Fight!

Texas Fight! Texas Fight,

Yea Texas Fight!

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,

All the livelong day.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,

You cannot get away.

Texas Fight, Texas Fight,

For it's Texas that we love best.

Hail, Hail, The gang's all here,

And it's good-bye to all the rest!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend has been wonderful.  Friday night was spent babysitting my niece, Soel.  She's about the cutest thing to walk the Earth.  Soel had a blast eating dinner with us, walking through onion day's in Payson, and playing with all her toys at home.  Saturday was Swiss days in Midway, I can't say this was my favorite part of the weekend, but it made Holli happy, and I ate some pretty darn good pancakes.  Saturday afternoon was full of football.  Ole Miss/BYU game was trash, boring, sloppy, and slow.  I'm not a real fan of either team, but I was hoping for a better game.  LSU/Oregon was great, very entertaining!  Not being able to watch my horns due to the lack of the Longhorn Network was hard, but after watching commentary and catching all the details I could, our 34-9 win over Rice was by far the best part of the night.  Sunday was great, our primary class was empty because of the holiday.  Holli made delicious lasagna (I'm glad we have left overs).  Monday... Today was great! This morning started with a phone call from Uncle Andy.  He asked what I was up to, and then proceeded to tell me he was on his way over to drop off a small box for me.  This was a huge surprise.  He lives in Denver!  He was on his way back home from our family's small ranch in Ferron, UT.  He came bearing gifts... A box full of hunting gear: scent blocker, knives, game bags, clothes, headlights, flashlights... the list goes on and on.  My favorite item, a Ruger P94, .40 cal.  I haven't shot it yet, but I gave it a good cleaning, and hope to get the chance this week some time.  After sorting through all my loot we spent the rest of the day in SLC with family.  Great weekend!
