I wanna put on my my my my my boogie shoes

Well, I’m one year closer to completing my 20s. I haven’t celebrated my birthday in Lubbock in a really long time, and was a bit skeptical of partying it up in the Depot District. However, it turned out to be a great birthday!

I turned 27 on Thursday and unfortunately, I had 2 exams that day. Fortunately, I made A’s on both exams - 100 & 96 woo-woo! I was worn out from studying, so I decided to stay in & have a quiet dinner with my grandparents. Plus all of my shows were coming on: What up 2-1-2?

I received calls, comments, and text messages from all of my friends and cards wishing me a great birthday.
Brianne sent me this ecard, and it made me laugh:


Friday was celebration day. Pat & Leroy Behnke won 4 tickets to see KC & The Sunshine Band and they gave them to us for my birthday. It was a blast. Here are some pics from the night.

Jes gave me a boyfriend-voodoo doll.
It brought me no luck or anything that night. Boo!


We started off at Melt. Me, Jessica, and Kara.
Kara is going to be my new single friend sidekick.
Yay! Finally a single girlfriend!


Jeff was there. He was doing most of the photography. Thanks Jeff!


Austin had ACL. Lubbock has LMF. Lubbock Music Festival.


We like Cactus Courtyard because of the cheap drinks and the amazing dance floor with no one on it except for Jes & I.


Here’s Jessica & I dancing in the street to KC & The Sunshine Band.


These last 2 are photos of us kind of up close, but we couldn’t figure out the settings on Jessica’s camera.


Please notice the man with a permed mullet to the right.

The concert was a blast and KC was actually still a really good performer. He gave a shout-out to all the young folks out in the crowd:

"I was your mother's NSYNC. Get a good look at me. This is what Justin Timberlake will look like in 20 years. What the hell happened?"

My birthday finally wrapped up on Saturday & Sunday with the family. We all just ate, watched a LOT of football and just hung out. It was nice. I’m definitely blessed with good friends and good family. Thanks for all the birthday wishes & for making it a good one!

Another Pic I Found

Because I'm lame and haven't started carrying my camera around everywhere yet, I'm having to steal pictures from other people.

Anyway, here's a picture of our new Jones Stadium Aquatic Center.

Mind you... Texas Tech is playing SMU here tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

I'll try to add more pictures later on throughout of the Lubbock "Centennial Rain" on this post.

Back in the Saddle Again

As most of you know, I made the move back to Lubbock, TX to attend Texas Tech University. My friend back home, Brianne, suggested that I start blogging all of the things so I can keep her updated with pictures. So here we are.

Anyway, I just wrapped up my 3rd week of school and so far so good. However, today classes were canceled. Lubbock is flooded. Here's a pic I stole from another blog:

This is pretty much what it looked like all around campus. Being the good student I am, I went to class yesterday at 5 and the water was up to my knees. Come to find out my professor never showed. There were 7 out of 40 of us that showed up. We waited a while then decided to just leave. So I trucked it back to my car. Awful.

Anyway, I'm really liking my classes. I have a way cool professor for Intro to Mass Comm. I have 3 exams next week so wish me luck! And other than that I'm just trying to still get adjusted to a smaller city and more street lights than freeways.
