elizabeth plays piano w/ daddy-o! one of my old college roomies (from the florence house) kristen butler scheer sent me some pics of her daughter so i decided to post one i thought was particularly adorable! i mean, really, how can you not love on that!?!
i have nothing exciting to blog about... the last couple of days have been quite stressful and trying... and i have been in an awful, blah mood! but things are getting better!! we head to kc with audra and mike this weekend... some of the source of my stress. audra and i had a good, honest talk last night about a lot of things.... it was good and eye-opening for both of us!
Homecoming fun... some of the folk who were in and out... and happened to be captured at this exact moment! lauren, jax, katy, aud, lauryl in the back and jenny, vedros, me, and alexis in the front...what a good day!
i would just like to say HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY to google. because i love google and gmail and picassa and google earth and ALL the wonderful, mind-boggling things it does! i would also like to say a BIGTHANKS to eric and emily for having us over last night and especially to ERIC for calling karl's mom about what kind of cake to get (cheesecake!) for his bday! it was super sweet and thoughtful. and the match candle was perfect! i will say it again... we have the best friends! thanks to all who came and/or left bday messages!!
you all rule.
p.s. who saw the LSU/Ten game!?! it was GOOD stuff!
happy birthday karl! look at this old man. 25 years old today! pictured: elizabeth, karl, kat, kristen! we are getting together at eric and em's tonight to do a mini, laid-back get together celebration. let me know if you are interested in helping us celebrate!
hanging out in the "chariot race" thing of the Kappa Alpha. They do these races pre-Homecoming. I don't think they won and then the cart, er, chariot was destroyed!
after the game we went to kilkenney's. jackie wanted STEW! yum! note the big GINORMOUS cup in matt dill's hand if you can see it there in the background. holy lord!
meredith soon-to-be dill and marc tailgating the night away. i think the game might have been in overtime. where were we? in our PERFECT tailgate spot holding down the fort! Points of note: 1. The University of Tulsa did, in fact, win their homecoming game! (in overtime so it must have been exciting! haha!) 2. We have officially tail-gated in the same spot for two years now. IT IS OURS! Our tailgating neighbors with the HUGE GRILL (randy and jason) offered us usage of said grill for next year if we provide our own food. FABULOUS! 3. Next year we will need more TENTS!
jenny stung by BEE!!! at like 10 p.m. friday night. i didn't even know bees were out this time of night but aparantly they are and they like to sting people. i tried not to laugh really i did!
so apa-r-ANT-ly we are busy for the next month. hahaha! but we are flexible to any and all scheduling changes so if you need to schedule a date with either karl or kat please let us know!

picture of us circa 1985, maybe 1986.
i feel OLD!! one tear for little sisters getting J-O-B-S.
and this is where he will be spending November and December. In a deer stand. in nashville, ar. we went to the deer cabin yesterday to do some work... well, really, let's be honest, for karl to do some work and me to go "ew" a lot.
you and me baby picking wildflowers. and sneezing.
well the weekend was good. none too exciting. friday night we layed around and did nothing, saturday we went to karl's work party (where brent and patrick beat karl and me in both HORSESHOES and some BEANBAG game....whatever!! it was not good. but we all did get ringers except for karl who got the only leaner of the game) we stayed out there drinking some beer until around 9:30 and then karl went to mike's to watch the razorbacks get decimated by USC. i went home and slept. and sunday, as you can see from the pics, we went to the deer cabin!
flowers that karl got me yesterday for our 18-day anniversary. haha! what a nerd. i put them in the kick booty vase leah got us as a wedding gift! not sure if they look exactly right in there but i really just wanted to use the vase!! =)
so this is stephanie from survivor... last season... who gets a chance to compete again this season! the SEASON OPENER was on last night and it was good. it is going to be a good season and survivor parties will soon be reinstated!
here's to you, here's to me, best of friends we'll ever be!
$1 beer night is evil and fun and aparantly the lighting in US Pizza sucks and the $1 beers (my portion of the 33 ordered anyway!) disabled my "steady camera hand" because, boys and girls, my pics sucked from this night!
step 2. the maid of honor reserves a room at a posh, hoity toity restaraunt. we eat too much, drink too much wine, and spend too much money. but we don't care b/c we are at a bachelorette party! (and we have just consumed six bottles of wine!)
step 6. we go back to our hotel and get in the outdoor rooftop pool (and have diving contests) despite the fact that it is the middle of september and FREEZING!! then we cry because we are cold.
