Front Yard Tennis

Hello friends and family. We have one from the archives. I found this while cleaning up my hard drive and thought I would share it with you. I uploaded this short movie to www.youtube.com This site is amazing it has everything (for better or for worse) if you have never been there you might want to check it out, maybe even upload your own video!

If you just click the little "> Play" button the video should play in the little window. If you try to find the video (and give it a good rating) on YouTube just search for "Sarah and Katie front yard tennis" or click on this link

Moving up to the Big Time




As you all know, we are now Texas Aggies. We went to our first Texas A&M football game with a couple of our friends who happen to be A&M graduates.

We had (free) seats on the 50 yard line, a parking pass in the front row, a patsy of an opponent, and an invite to hang out in the suites (luxury boxes) with the other big time Aggies

The adult refreshments were flowing freely. The A&M mascot, a dog named Reveille (who is the highest ranking member of the Corps of Cadets) makes the rounds to all the boxes at halftime. Then the Governor (an A&M alum) stops by to press the flesh. This gives you some idea of the pecking order at A&M.

A quick note about the guy who invited us up to his suite - Sterling Braswell, and academic at A&M is also the author of American Meth: A history of the Methamphetamine Epidemic in America. Half history lesson half autobiography, he apparently was married to a meth addict/dealer unbeknownst to him (at least till the FBI called). Here is a LINK to find out more.

The NCL girls hit the Runway



Katie and her fellow Junior NCL women put on a fashion show for their chapter. One by one they sashayed down the runway looking absolutely fabulous.

Backstage they carried on like the Carmen Electra and her pals as the parents and press out front clamored for MORE!

a good time was had by all
