the best time of year.
--3 days, 5 hours, and 35 minutes until my favorite time of the year.
--3 days, 5 hours, and 35 minutes until 84,000+ people yell BOOMER SOONER for the first time this year.
--3 days, 5 hours, and 35 minutes until Ryan Broyles begins his hopeful journey to break basically every record at OU and Landry Jones to the Heisman.
--3 days, 5 hours, and 35 minutes until the race to the Sugar Bowl starts.
--3 days, 5 hours, and 35 minutes until it's football time in Oklahoma.
The further from graduation I get, the more thankful I am that I am able to call myself an alumni of the University of Oklahoma and the more I realize how much that place actually taught me. I don't necessarily remember what I learned in class, but I learned more about life in those 4 years that I ever thought possible.
I met some of my best friends. I met some of my worst enemies. I learned that people don't always have your best interest at heart (which is contrary to what I grew up believing in small town Texas). Some people have always been, and always will be, all about themselves. Some people, however, are angels sent from heaven. Sometimes, that scary professor that you don't want to take, will change your outlook on life, love, school, and everything in between. I learned that I will never get tired of Chick-fil-a, watching the leaves turn to gold or the feeling you get when you walk into that football stadium. Norman saw me at my best and my worst. Driving into Norman for the first time was one of the scariest days of my life. Driving away from Norman for the last time was one of the saddest days. Somewhere between Couch Tower #1103, 744 Elm Ave and Classen Boulevard, I became the person I am today. And for that, I could not be more grateful.

worth far more than rubies.
10 [a]A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
-Proverbs 31
"no one has been as blessed as me. it turned out better than if i had ordered it." - Daddy Crook
Heaven got a new angel early thursday morning. today we reflected on what a wonderful mother, wife, grandmother, artist, seamstress and cook she was. thank you for giving us the perfect example of how to be a lady. and thank you for leaving behind such a legacy. thank you for making the world a better place. we miss you already. but i know you are in a place far greater than we can imagine. so this is not goodbye, this is see you soon!

This is DALLAS.
Dirk and the rest of the team took their talents to South Beach and Your Dallas Mavericks are 2011 NBA Champions. Finally. Sweet, Sweet Victory.
The American Airlines Center watch party sold out in 31 minutes. The stadium that the game was not being played in was more populated 30 min before tip-off than the stadium in Miami. We jumped around, yelled and were rowdy, proud and LOUD with 20,000 of our closest friends as we watched Dirk and Jason Kidd FINALLY hold that trophy over their heads. We watched as Dirk FINALLY won Finals MVP. We all watched as the Mavericks FINALLY got what they deserved. And I couldn't have asked to spend that moment with better people. The whole time it was happening, all I kept thinking was "this is one of those 'I'll always remember what I was doing when ____' moments". It was a moment Dallas has been waiting for since 1980. And I dont think there has ever been a goup of more deserving players.
GO MAVS!
