it's monday morning & texas still sucks!

boomer sooner. boomer sooner. boomer sooner. boomer sooner.

boomer sooner. boomer sooner. boomer sooner. oku!

i'm sooner born & sooner bred & when i die,

i'll be sooner dead.

rah, oklahoma! rah, oklahoma! rah, oklahoma! oku!

we beat texas!!!  & it was amazing.

although i am pretty darn sad we weren't at the cotton bowl to experience every breath of it,
we had a fantastic time at our ou/texas party at our loft.

the sooners were out numbered by the longhorns, however that probably made it even better.
i played boomer sooner every time we scored, which, as you know, was a lot :)
it might have been a little overboard.
but i.loved.it. 

boomer sooner!

as is true with pretty much everything awesome in our life, our party revolved quite heavily around food.  let me tell you about it:

EVERY year {yes, all 10 of them} my favorite thing about the texas state fair is fletcher's corndog.  it is so good!  blake & i stand in the super long one before walking into the game every time.  so to honor this tradition, we made state fair corndogs!

 {the mini frozen kind with toothpics & mustard!}

for our breakfast entree, we went with breakfast pork tacos!  you might be surprised to know this, but breakfast tacos are not "a thing" in the south.  what?!  they are missing out.  make your favorite taco & throw some scrambled egg in there & voila!  breakfast tacos!

{slow-cooked pulled pork.

always good.

no matter how you do it.}

 {blakey wanted to try some al pastor pork from the mexican market.

it comes already seasoned, so all you do is throw it in a skillet.

it was quite tasty!}

 {i, of course, made my favorite homemade salsa}

 {breakfast tacos!

yum!}

for our breakfast beverages, i went with sooner red sangria & longhorn orange mimosas!

 {love our loft}

one of the really neat things we discovered in birmy is that you can buy draft beer from one of our favorite liquor {excuse me, package} stores!  have quite a few taps that change seasonally.  so we decided to get a few kinds to have a little beer tasting at our party!  

we had two octoberfests {if you can find bob's 47 octoberfest by boulevard, definitely try it}, an ipa, a local brown ale, a stout, & of course some pbr.

{our bucket of ou coozies!}

our friends are even better cooks than i am.  one of the interns helped me a ton with the prep for our breakfast tacos.  love her, in all of her longhorn-ness.

amy made these delicious pepper-stuffed sausage & cheese eggs:

& elyse made fantastic sausage-suffed peppers.   you are understanding our food loves from our part of the country :)

ashley, another intern's wife, made amazing apple cinnamon muffins.  they were so so tasty.  i am going to have to get that recipe.  

so many new friends at our home for the first time.  the interns were awesome to join in the fun.  & we even had over our new friends from church small group.

fabulous game.  fabulous party.  fabulous friends.

boomer sooner!

love love,
