OSU Homecoming!

Happy Sunday! 


This weekend has actually felt long and I have enjoyed every bit of it! Mitch and I both had a pretty stressful week at work, but had a fun weekend!!


Thursday, after work we headed to Tulsa! It is always a late trip going thursday night, but its so nice to get up Friday and be there. Friday morning, Mitch and I had some errands to get done and then I went and hung out with Natalie for a while. Its so good to see my friends when I'm back home, but also hard to see everyone! I wish we could have stayed longer.


That afternoon, we headed to Stillwater for OSU homecoming! I have been going ever since before I can remember... literally! My mom and grandma were telling stories this weekend about how when I was just a baby they would dress me in osu stuff and take me to homecoming and the parade! I just love it and will def keep it a family tradition! We didn't get to go to the game this year, but hopefully we will go to some next year. We tried to find tickets a few months ago, but they are soooo expensive! So instead we are going to the AR game this weekend! I can't wait wait- I always love going to razorback games! 


We went and ate at Mexico Joes with my grandparents and it was so good! We had been doing paleo all week, so it was our first big meal. It was good, but we did both feel pretty sick afterwards.
Then we headed to the walkaround. All the sorority and frat houses make house decs and they have been working on the since the beginning of school and they are incredible! 

They make them out of chicken wire and tissue paper... crazy!

This was Mitch favorite!! ha Also, my fried told me Garth was there, so Mitch was on the lookout the whole night. We were one of the unlucky ones who didn't seem to spot him :(

That was my favorite... it was so detailed! Amazing!

We had a great time and to top it off they beat Baylor.. more liked killed them ha!! It was a great game!

Saturday, my mom and I got up and went shopping while Mitch and my dad stayed home and watched football and listened to the AR game. It was an ugly game, but they somehow pulled it off.

We headed back t bentonville saturday afternoon just so we could get some stuff done around the house and Mitch had to work Sunday. 

When we got home Saturday afternoon, I went and got my halloween costume! We are having a costume contest at work. I am really excited, I love to dress up! I will post pics tomorrow :)

Today, Mitch had to work, so I stayed home with Bella. It was so nice to have nothing planned and just relax! I went to Fayetteville to have lunch with Mitch, then took Bella to the groomer. She was there for about 2 hours, so I ran some errands and stocked up on candy for the trick-or-treaters tomorrow night!

When I picked up Bella, they had put big halloween bows in her hair and she looked so cute! I will try ad get some pics and post them tomorrow. 

Tonight for dinner I made Bison Chili and I was kind of iffy about how it would taste, but we loved it. It turned out great. Here is the recipe...

Bison Chili

1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 C chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 C chopped celery
1 C chopped bell pepper
1 1/2 lb Elk, buffalo, or grass fed beef
2 tsp thyme leaves
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1 8 oz can tomatoes
1 12 oz jar of salsa
1 15 oz can of kidney beans

In a dutch oven or crockpot on medium high melt oil and saute onions, garlic, celery and pepper for about 5 minutes. Add ground meat and spices stirring frequently for 5-10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for a minimum of 1hour.

Its so easy and so delicious! Highly recommend you make it :)


Thats it for tonight! Have a safe and happy halloween tomorrow!!
