We left early that morning and made it there to hang out and go to lunch before the football game. We went to Phoenix with Katie and Tommy and it was just as good as I remembered! My roommates and I had "Phoenix Friday" and literally did not miss a Friday all senior year. We love it! So it was fun to go back with Katie. We walked around campus, made some purchases from the book store and then went to the football game. I loved walking around campus. I forget how beautiful OBU is in the fall! And this is besides the point, but their clothes in the book store are way cuter than when I was there ha!
The football game was...well... interesting, but actually really fun! I mean we are awful, but it was fun that they have football now. We really enjoyed it and it turned out to be the perfect day for a football game. After the game, Mitch and I went to Peter's house and hung out why him for the rest of the night. We watched football and yes, we made a dinner trip to Vans. We really cannot go to Shawnee and not eat at Vans-- I mean we sometimes just drive the hour and a half to eat there :)
We got back into Tulsa late that night and Mitch's brother Will was staying at our house because he had a bike race in Tulsa that weekend. So Sunday afar church, we went to watch him race and again, for November it was so pretty. The perfect day to be outside!
Last week- I took off a few days, just to be off with Mitch and it was so nice! We spent the time putting up our christmas decor!!! I know some people say its too early, but honestly I think it is a personal decision. Everyone keeps saying "you have to celebrate thanksgiving first" or "your not being fair to Thanksgiving". When people say this is makes me laugh. It isn't like I am not celebrating Thanksgiving- trust me I don't miss out on a holiday geared around food. But I do like to get my decorations up so I can enjoy them. I put a lot of time into decorating and especially with Thanksgiving being so late this year, I want to enjoy my decorations for more than 3 weeks. And not to mention, we are SO busy these next few weeks, so that was the timing that worked best for us. So yes, our tree is up, out house is decorated and the lights are up outside! I just love this time of year!
Last weekend Mitch worked and I was able to spend it relaxing at home. It was once to have a weekend, because for the next few months we are busy every weekend! Yesterday, we had some fall pictures made and it was so fun. I haven't had a "photo shoot" since we got married and I forgot how fun it was. I have been wanting to go out and take some fall pics-some for me to have and some for our Christmas card, but I wasn't wanting to pay the price for the sitting fee and then also for the pics. I was telling my friend this at work last month and she told me she is getting into photography and is taking a few classes. She was wanting a family to practice on and so we dint have to pay for anything and she got her practice. We were out there for almost 2 hours and I think they are going to turn out great! I cannot wait to see them! I will post a few when I get them!
This weekend we are headed back to Arkansas for the weekend and I can't wait to be back. Yes, I know, I feel like every time I blog, I talk about going back to AR. But we both love it there- it just isn't where we want to be living, but we love that we are so close where we can go back as much as we do. This is my last week and then I am on Thanksgiving break!!! Hope y'all have a good week and stay warm!!
