Dublin, TX!  So even though I have some Irish in my family tree, it's not exactly like I'm off the boat.  But still, who doesn't like to claim Irish heritage if they can, especially this close to St. Patrick's Day?!  We sorta had an extra ...

Rehearsal Dinner
Oct 16, 2009 (2 photos)

Why does it have to be this complicated - you have to rehearse? On the plus side, with all of the family being in one spot, I didn't have to drive all around to see everyone on this trip. One stop - done!!

The Traveling Aggies

Back to see my 4th game this year (impressive since I live over 5000 miles away). It was a win, but it will probably be the last one of the year. The military fly-over was canceled due to mechanical problems. But I did get some more photos of the ...
