We took a less-than-24-hour whirlwind trip to College Station this weekend, but it was so, so nice. Thanks to A'Dell for putting us up for the night and to her family for being so welcoming and warm.
My family is swell.

- Secrets
You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.

Did Kyle sit through the whole game? I can hardly believe it...we have a little girl the same age and are already lining up grandparents to come visit on home game weekends so we can go. I just can't imagine her being able to tolerate sitting there for more than 20 or 30 minutes.

Did you ever think he'd start to fill out that stroller so well?
I got chills when I saw "Kyle Field" :-) I just heart his name. Great job on picking it.

His sandals.... where did you find?? They look super comfy, and I haven't found a pair that fit my son's biscuit feet yet.

How fun!
I also want to say that you look great - so happy and fit! I'm also on the path to reaching a weight loss and fitness goal and it's always so inspiring to see other people reaching theirs.

So jealous! Where did you eat at? We are thinking about taking the bus to Nebraska, Tech, and/or OU. Are you guys planning on going again?
We'll also go and tailgate for the Arkansas game aat Cowboy stadium. I probably won't be able to go b/c the tickets are so expensive! You and the family should come!

I love the photo fourth from the top of Kyle on Mike's shoulders! Did he actually sit through the game, too??
