Ughhh. This is not good. We probably won’t have power for days, if not weeks. We’re staying with some friends who have power and a rockin fireplace, so at least we’re warm for now. Todd checked on our house this morning, but couldn’t even drive down the street due to all the debris. He walked down and took these shots…

So we’re having a bit of an ice storm here in Northwest Arkansas. The power has been going out all around the city, but so far we still have it (fingers crossed). Unfortunately they are predicting more freezing rain/sleet for the rest of the day and into the night. We’ve already had one limb from our huge pine tree fall and crush the tops of our two storage sheds. It fell about 3 feet from where my head lays on the pillow at night, so I’ll probably be setting up a camp in the living room tonight.
I haven’t always been a sports fanatic, but in the past few years I’ve grown kind of obsessed. While I really like NFL & college football, my true love is college basketball. This year we have 3rd row season tickets to all of the home Razorback basketball games and it rules. We started off the season with a lot of promise & surprised a lot of people, but now it’s taken a turn for the worse. Win or lose, I still love going to games and I love my school team so here’s to the Hogs…

This New Years Eve was different than the past few years – we actually went out! We went over to Lacy & Jonathan’s house for some great company, champagne & 90s trivia. Before midnight, we headed down to the town square for a party to take pictures for Flyer Faces. Todd & a couple friends run a local website and taking photos out & about has been my tiny contribution.

December was packed full with Todd’s birthday, several friends’ birthdays, a surprise party, & Christmas of course!
We were very careful this year not to spend much money for the holidays, so I tried to be more creative. I made photo scrap books for a couple friends full of photos of us all hanging out over the years. I saved a space on the last page for one last photo & brought along my camera and tripod when we had our gift exchange. After they opened their albums, we got together for a group shot to include at the end of their book. Some of the out takes are below. The present that I received made me CRY, but in a good way. It was an amazing hand-painted portrait of Blue Kitty! Besides all of that, we had a great Christmas in Tulsa. It was a good year!
