My school's theatre department produced their fall musical this weekend. This year it was Beauty and the Beast and it was outstanding!!! We had a great time watching the talented kids.

I'm a mean doggie-mommy.

On a side note, Sammy ate one of my shoes today. We're currently not speaking.

Ten years ago today, at 2:42am, Aggie Bonfire fell, killing twelve students and injuring twenty-seven others. I was still in high school, but I certainly remember the far reach this loss had to the Aggie community, specifically my friends that had older siblings at A&M. It was only when I got to A&M, met those who lost someone when the stacks fell, and felt the spirit of Aggieland that I truly understood the effect this event had on the school. I know this tragedy shaped my experience at A&M and will continue to shape each new class. Today, I'm remembering the 12 who lost their lives on 11/18/99

It's been a quiet Tuesday night here. David and I have been prepping for classes tomorrow, watching tv, and relaxing. Here's a picture of some of the artwork my World of Ideas kids made for their art unit. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of them have a future in the fine arts, but we sure had fun experimenting!!!

David and I headed down to SMU's Moody Coliseum to watch the Aggie men's basketball team take on the Mustangs. With such few victories on the gridiron the past few years, it's a welcome change to cheer on an Aggie team to victory! The Ags beat the Mustangs 80-68 and we were safely home by 10pm. What a fun change of pace for a Monday night!

Yesterday, my mom flew to Louisville, KY to be with her family because my great Aunt Dottie suffered a stroke. Please pray for health for Aunt Dottie and a recovery from her stroke and strength and wisdom for my mom and her family as they make some decisions about her medical treatment.

Because Mom was out of town, Dad, David, Michael and I went to see a Sunday afternoon movie. We saw Pirate Radio and it was AWESOME!!! I totally recommend it. It has great music, is consistently funny from beginning to end, and is a pretty unique and interesting story!!!
