Cotton Bowl 2010

Doug and I went to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX. We had so much fun because the REBELS won!! We flew out of Birmingham and had a full day before Nic, Kim, and Ross joined us. We shopped and ate lots of good food. But most of all, we had a great time!!! Ross was so great during the game and he had a great time. I have a friend who works for the Cotton Bowl and she had 2 tickets on the front row of the 40 yard line behind the OSU bench. Our tickets were 7 rows from the top of the stadium so I let Nic, Kim, and Ross use them and then we would switch at halftime. Well Nic came and got us at halftime and told us there were 3 empty seats next to them and that we needed to come down there. So we watched the 3rd and 4th quarter from the front row of the 40 yard line. Too bad we were behind the OSU bench and not the Ole Miss bench but we had a great time anyways.

We also rang in the New Year at Benihana's in Dallas and Ross was a little hesitant about the cook at our table but he enjoyed himself though.

Enjoy the pictures from the Cotton Bowl aka "Jerry's World."

Deuce McAlister was signing autographs so we stopped and had a picture made.

My sweet friend, Ellen Robinson Price, who gave us the tickets on the 40 yard line!

Thanks Ellen!!!!

This place has a Ford dealership!!

The jumbotron was the best thing to watch being so high up!

Can you see where Nic, Kim and Ross are? Looking closely for the only red and blue shirts

in the midst of all the orange.

Christmas in Arkansas

Happy New Year!! I know I'm still posting Christmas pictures but this is the last of them I promise! The day after Christmas we left that night and headed to Arkansas to for a quick visit with Doug's grandparents. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone after Christmas. We usually make it the weekend before but since our schedules don't work out anymore then we go in the weekend after Christmas. We both took off the week after Christmas, so 3 vacation days turned into 11 days off from work! WooHoo!! We then took off to head to Dallas, TX for the Cotton Bowl. I will post more on that later!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Arkansas!
