Why is flying SO expensive!!!!

Ok so I have been looking for a reasonably priced airline ticket so I can go to Dallas for my birthday! Lance is already going to be there for a job fair & I was going to meet him on Friday and we were going to go to Six Flags for my birthday....something we have been trying to do for 3 years!! If I was leaving Thursday morning I could get a flight for $45 dollars.....can you believe that!? AMAZING! But I have a late afternoon client Thursday and can't leave until Friday morning or late Thursday night! The late Thursday and Friday flights jump from $45 to WELL over $100! I am sooooo sad b/c I just can't justify spending that kind of money on an airline ticket at this point in my life and wish sooooo bad that I could find a cheap flight. The other bad part is that this client is the only thing I have to do Thursday and he cancels about 40% of the time anyway. So thats it.....I feel better now! I am going to go to bed and pray that when I wake up I can find a cheap flight somewhere! :)

Poor little guy!

Just in case you don't read Lance's blog I wanted to share this with everyone! It is soooo funny but will break your heart at the same time. This poor little guy is sooooo miserable!

Its over! Yipeeee!

FOOTBALL IS OVER! FOOTBALL IS OVER! FOOTBALL IS OVER! Did I mention that I am just a teeeny bit excited to have a loooong break from football? I mean I am happy to watch football with Lance & am really glad he loves it....but I need a break and am so happy it has come!

Let it snow.....let it snow.....let it snow!

Winter is in FULL swing here! Last night it started snowing a little and by the time we went to bed it was snowing a whole lot! Then, today when I left for class everything was covered in snow and ice and it was so pretty. It was quite the scary trip up to school driving on the icy roads but I loved the winter "feel" of the day. I can't even remember a time when I was in so much snow and ice! Here are some pictures I took today. I was in class all day and just ran outside to take a few so I could capture before it got dark. The best part of the cold front is that classes are delayed tomorrow until 10:30 so Lance & I are making cookies and having a movie night!! I just went outside to soak in a little more of the pretty snow and it is that really pretty kind of fluffy powder snow! I hope it stays all week! :)
p.s I still haven't sent in my camera so the pics look kinda rough!

Lance & I on our snowy deck!

Pretty frozen treeThat is what I drove to school on.....proud of me or what!?

I think it's cool!

Ok I am putting myself at risk for being the biggest nerd in the world but I think this is really cool! So every since I have been back in Lubbock I have been noticing that I have been hearing lots of geese like honking (or whatever they do) and stuff. However, I didn't think much of it until I realized that Lubbock has been overtaken by geese! Every single lake and park has like 1,000 geese just chillin out. I guess they migrate here for the winter. Who knows! This picture is representative of EVERY park in this city right now. Interesting right? Well maybe not but if you lived here with a 20,000 geese you would think it's cool! :)

What's up with the WIND & electricity!!

So I should be fast asleep right now.....BUT the wind outside is blowing like 1,000 miles an hour and keeps knocking out our electricity! It is crazy! I have been sitting on the couch trying to read for a presentation I have to do tomorrow & about every 15 minutes the house goes completely black. I also keep hearing people's car alarms going off and branches and things hitting the side of the building. Not to mention it literally sounds like a tornado is twirling around. You wouldn't believe how loud the whistling outside sounds! Weird. I have been told to brace myself for Springtime in West Texas....I guess it has come early.
Ok that's all. :)

LOST!!

They're baaaaack! Kate, Sawyer, Sun, Hurley, Locke, Ben, Claire, Charlotte, Sied and the rest of castaways are only hours away! That's right the season premier of the best show in the entire world is tonight!

AND to top off my wonderful mood we convinced the apartment to give us new carpet (a battle we have been fighting for 5 months). So we are finally going to be living on nice clean new carpet & not the nasty sick carpet we have been living on!!

Both of these things probably seem pretty mundane to you but I am beyond pumped! :)
