play like a champion!


even with a big L at the end of the game, the OU vs notre dame experience was pretty darn fantastic.  i had never seen so many people on campus, so many people cheering on our sooners.  the joy & excitement walking around campus, tailgating with our loved ones, a surprise birthday party, a fabulously spirited stadium, more time with loved ones in our seats, a drop in by a former ou player.  could not have asked for more!

well, a win.  i could've asked for a win.

this was blake & my first home game since we moved to alabama!  oooh, i had missed it.  campus corner, crimson & cream, & so many familiar faces...

{so fun seeing you all!

{randy dandy!  where you gunna go now?}

two of our favorite friends in medical school were back in town to celebrate a big 30th birthday.  katie threw a fantastic surprise birthday party for her husband.  we got to walk in with luke to find his surprise & see the happiness on his face.  priceless.  so wonderful to see you both!!

{happy birthday, luke!!!}


as you probably know, blakey & i are in complete agreement to disagree on the best seats in the stadium.  he thinks his family's seats in the endzone are the best because you can see plays unfold.  i am positive my family's seats are the best, as they are on the 45 yard line, 36 rows up.  the perfect seats.

so we don't sit together.  but that gave me the opportunity to enjoy the game with my daddy byrd & my sister & my armstrong!

enjoy your seats, blakey.  mine are better :)

mark clayton stopped by to sit with us!  & by "us", i mean armstrong.  they're friends.  that's so cool.  he really is a very nice guy.  his first time sitting in the stands.  & he was freezing.  it was pretty funny.  glad we had a blanket to share.  great to meat you, mark!


{live on, university!}

an experience of a lifetime.  i look forward to beating you in your home next year, irish.

love love,
