Fun Evening But Lousy Game


We thoroughly enjoyed going to the new Cowboy Stadium in Arlington TX to see the OU vs BYU game. The most fascinating feature was the big HD TV screen. Unbelievable. It stretched from one twenty yard line to the other. Huge!!

Here's a picture of Paul and me as we arrived two hours early to be able to casually tour the stadium and have fun looking at all the features. Our seats were seven rows from the top, so it took us awhile to navigate all the stairs and work our way up.

One of the very fun things about the game was getting to see my friend's daughter in the OU Pom squad. My friend and coworker died last February and it's a double pleasure to get to see her daughter at the OU games. She reminds me so much of her Mom, it's kind of bitter sweet.

We had a very fun weekend. Went to church at Southcliff in Fort Worth, where Paul pastored several years ago. We got to visit with several friends and had fun reminiscing about "the good ole' days."

Now for the yukky part: It was a lousy game! We were so disappointed in the way OU played. But, on the other hand, sometimes a bad game is the inspiration to play better. Here's hoping.

Great weekend. Lots of fun.
Life is good!

Wow, now that's what I call a Big Screen! The guys all said it was big but your pic helps show just how big that really is!
Phil's comments about the game were more about the coaches than the players - he was pretty disappointed in their game calling.
A loss like that sure takes the pressure off the season, huh?
We all went down Friday night and got home Sunday evening - stayed at the Westin that is connected to the Galleria which made it really nice to shop and go back and forth to the rooms with the little ones. All the guys went to the game. We still managed to have a good time! :) Rachel
