Fall Football
We went to several football games in the fall had a great time! Austin and I both grew up in Austin and are huge UT fans. The blood runs orange over here. But after highschool, life led us both to other colleges...Austin went to Baylor and I went to Texas Tech. We both love our schools dearly, but most of the time blood is thicker than water when it comes to football...and Austin actually needs a football team to root for!
UT/TECH GAME
In 2008 We went to Vegas for the game and of course I bet on Tech and we all know the outcome of that game. (I had to throw this in the blog somewhere) But 2009 was a different story and UT pulled through with the W.

TX/OU Game/State Fair
We met up with some friends early in the morning and headed to The Taco Joint, which some say are the best breakfast tacos in town. I am still making up my mind on this one but they were pretty good! We met up with Jeff and Tricia for the game and had a great time drinking margaritas and eating Fletcher's corn dogs and just catching up!
And we ran into ShelBel and Leslie. It was a great time!
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Pfertner
We drove down to Austin for Melissa and Jim's wedding at the Barton Creek Resort. It was beautiful! Barton Creek holds a special place in our hearts because Austin proposed to me there in 2006 and we had not been back since. It brought back so many sweet memories.

Junior League
Austin and I went to the Junior League Auction and Casino Party. A fantastic time was had by all. We invited Myndi and Chris over for a cocktail at our house and headed to Wolf Gang Puck's restaurant, 560, in Reunion Tower and had some more cocktails. If you have never been to Reunion Tower, it is a real trip because the floor rotates and completely messes with your mind. We walked across the street to Union Station where the event was held and the venue was amazing. The party had an 80's theme so there was a tattoo parlor, 80's video games, rock candy and candy cigarettes...it was a blast from the past. The food was fabulous, catered by Wolf Gang Puck. Fresh sushi and seafood, decadent mac and cheese...they went all out.

To sum up some of the Christmas festivities this year...We had Austin's company Christmas party at the House of Blues with the Spazmatics, which is always a blast!

Austin and I made a few trips out to the new stadium in Arlington. Austin scored suite tickets with his company and was able to see the stadium "court side" for the opening Cowboys Game vs. The Giants and boy are those guys big....

Tech VS. BU
UNC VS. UT Bball Game - We met Austin's co-workers Kurt, his wife Susan and their son and a couple other groups of friends at some hole-in-the-wall bar close to the stadium that offered free shuttle service to the stadium. We had some great food and cold beverages.
Tip Off
What Christmas break would be complete without seeing a movie? We went with my parents, sister and her fiance, Greg to see AVATAR in 3D. Loved it! I think my dad truly enjoyed it once the movie started...he kept lifting his 3D glasses up and down to see what the difference was and after he figured it out I think he dozed off to sleep. I know I caught him sleeping a couple of times....It was a long movie!
This is probably enough to wrap of the end of Oh Nine.
