Just for Justin

Justin is working today. He has meetings in Denver for a few days and then he has to go to Indy. It is strange thinking about how we went from never having him around to always having him around, and now we will be without him for a while again (short while comparatively.) The upside is that after the next couple of weeks are over, we will be back to a "normal" living arrangement. That will be nice.


Anywho, last night I came across these pictures and realized that I never posted about our Texas trip. We left for the Red River Rivalry 2 days after Justin got home from Afghanistan. Being that tomorrow is the National Championship...and Texas is playing, I thought today would be a good day to reflect on our time spent at the Texas State Fair (aka FAT capital of the World.) The fried food was abundant and there wasn't a shortage of people standing in line to eat it either. They had almost any food you could think of dipped in a hot pan of oil...Although one thing I didn't see, and thought would be disgustingly great, was fried rainbow chip frosting! How could you go wrong with the best frosting known to man?

Stadiums are the best thing to take a picture of a man standing in front of....at least this sports fanatic....just look how happy he is.

This was the location of College Gameday.

After a little sight-seeing, we made it into the stadium.

BEVO!

Yay! Justin was happy because Texas won...we all know dealing with a man whose team just lost is not fun. That is the only reason I cheer for Texas, because if they lose...well, we all lose. So, HOOK EM' HORNS! Now...onto that sick food! We had to give a couple things a try. Here is a fried Snickers and fried Oreos. I liked the Snickers best, but Justin liked the Oreos. He said the Snickers grossed him out because it was like a turd. I liked the warm melted chocolate that oozed out when you bit into it. haha

It was a quick but fun trip...we hopped on a plane right after we stuffed ourselves with the local cuisine.
