I can’t believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone with Christmas right around the corner. Yikes!! Time is flying by.
Luke and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Tulsa, Oklahoma this year. Poor Luke must have been a bit overwhelmed at my gigantic extended family, but he handled it like a champ. Luke knows well my first cousins who were all in attendance and shown below, but also got to meet basically everyone on my mother’s side…like Ernest, my second cousin twice removed! Complex stuff here! Thanksgiving Day around 60 of us gathered for a day of Thanks. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family!
Friday after Thanksgiving was filled with Football. Did you watch the AU game? I mean seriously….losing years of my life here! I hope AU can pull out one last win for me since I already booked a hotel room in Glendale. Crazy thing is I called 20 hotels before I found one that wasn’t completely booked.
Now back to my Tulsa tales…my cousin Tyler is a wide receivers coach at Tulsa. Let’s just say we got quite the hook up for the TU vs. SMU game. He got us in the CASE Athletic complex where all of the VIPs hang, then great tickets on the 40 yard line for the game. Luke and my brother however took the whole VIP status to another level, and stood on the sideline for the entire game. The game was very exciting with high scoring!! I’m proud to report Tulsa did pull out a great win. I do have a funny little story to share about Luke’s sideline experience: Throughout the game people kept coming up to him saying “Welcome Back”. Ha! They thought he was an old player! He is a super stud though!
Luke and I stayed to enjoy Saturday watching football and finally headed home on Sunday. I'm pretty sure we've driven through some of the least populated places in the entire USA. You have to admit the sky picture below is stunning though. So pretty and definitely one of my favorite things about living in New Mexico. I don't have many of the photos Luke has on his camera right now, but we'll put those on FB later.
We’ve put up some Christmas decorations and plan to string our lights today. We aren’t getting too crazy since we are leaving town next Thursday for Taos, and fly to Georgia the weekend after. Man…time really is flying by! Happy Holidays Blog Friends!
