200th post
1. Our dog Moose is getting enormous. He probably weighs 80-85 lbs.
2. Our other dog Bandit can hold his own very well against the massive black dog.
3. We can't wait for the Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma game. Hilary's cousins are huge OU fans so there is some family rivalry going on.4. We found the most beautiful Christmas tree last weekend at Holland Gardens. It has 1200 lights on it.
5. The talented husband Heath has measured and shopped online for lights for the exterior. Exciting stuff.
6. Hilary has been shopping for the perfect trays for her classroom for what seems like years. She found some at Walgreens. Again very exciting stuff.
7. We are a little obsessed with this cookbook. We have made several things from it and they are low fat!
8. Hilary was baptized on Saturday. Here's the link. Scroll down a little on the page and it will start playing. One of Hilary's friends from work, David Gray was also baptized. It was an amazing experience.9. We ordered Moose his stocking so he won't feel left out.
10. We had a blast with Hilary's parents a couple of weekends ago. They graduated from OSU so we all went to the game together.
11. Hilary is almost finished reading The Shack. If you haven't read it, go out and buy it. It's really really good.
12. Our good friend Jannie does roller derby. We really enjoy going to her bouts. This is what we witnessed at "half-time" last Sunday afternoon.
Jannie-aka Ink Flamingo.
13. Hilary enjoyed a bout a while ago with friends from work; Shannon and Heather.
14. We officially have outside dogs. They enjoy the new fence and clearly run and play all day long. Usually when Hilary gets home from work at 330 they had been in their kennels all day and were very hyper until 10 at night. Not anymore my friends. This is what we see in the evenings now!
15. The dogs LOVE anything that squeaks. Moose's favorite toy is the Kong Wubba. We haven't gotten it on video but he will squeak it and howl at the same time. Very entertaining. 
16. Moose is doing really well at obedience training. He is VERY focused on Heath. One of the instructors mentioned that we should do obedience trials. Here's a short video.
18. We are going to Plano the day after Christmas. We got the very last room at the Tipton.
19. We were shocked when the Camry was full with only $30. Yeah for $1.79 gas.
20. This is Hilary's favorite player for Tech. He is a little scary looking, but he's amazing!

In case you missed it.....
#6 Texas Tech BEAT #1 Texas
Heath and I sold our tickets a long time ago to Becky and Hunter. We sold them before we knew it was such a huge game. Although, we had no tickets we went to the stadium with them and walked around before the game. We sat on a bench and people watched. We saw some interesting folks. We saw a Texas fan dressed up as a penguin, a Texas fan with a tutu on, and a Texas fan dressed up as Pooh.
When the game started we tried to find the Gameday coverage, and noticed a crowd of people sitting in the grass right behind the double T on the south side. They could see the jumbotron! We had a seat with them and enjoyed the first half of the game in the grass enjoying a beautiful west Texas evening.
At half time, we decided to go to the Frazier Alumni Pavillion. It was packed with lots of people who had been drinking for DAYS! We saw many guys almost get into fights, and saw the shortest shorts ever known to mankind. But, it was fun and they had a huge screen to watch the game.
The end of the game was the most exciting, nerve wracking experience we have ever witnessed. Heath is not a huge football fan and he was even jumping up and down giving high fives to random strangers. On the way to the car all you could hear were horns honking and people screaming. People were quite excited.
We made our way to Buffalo Wild Wings right near our house and they played the fight song and everyone cheered as they showed the last 8 seconds of the game repeatedly on ESPN.
My parents will be in town next weekend for the OSU game. That game will be a good one!
Go Tech!
