Checking In with the Thorndikes: November 2010

Mavs Game & World Series!

Blake & I went to the Mavs last pre-season game, which was also the night the Rangers made it into the World Series!!! The Mavs ended up winning with .4 seconds left to score! It was such an exciting end to the game. After the game, the AAC immediately turned on the end of the Rangers game (so we got to see the bottom of the 8th and the top of the 9th of the ALCS championship)! The Rangers ended up winning and making it into their first World Series in franchise history! Woo hoo! It was a great night to be downtown!!!

State Fair of Texas!!!

Blake and I have not been to the State Fair in years, and we got free tickets, so we decided to go (and we took Gammie and Mom with us)! We had a blast! Blake ate his traditional sausage on a stick and I got my traditional Fletcher’s corndog! Yummy! (We did not branch out and try any of the crazy fried junk!)

Big Tex!

My favorite ride, The Swings!

My Birthday!

I celebrated my birthday in many different ways this year, including dinner with friends, dinner with my family, an office party, and SHREK THE MUSICAL! I had a wonderful birthday and I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life!

My sweet work friend, Anni, made me gluten-free cupcakes, despite the fact that she thinks I am crazy for being gluten-free (but...it's helping!)

SYTYCD Tour!!!

I am pretty much obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance and I FINALLY got to go to the tour this year! It was soooooo amazing! I felt like a little kid at Disney on Ice or something, I was seriously giddy from being so excited!!! I will now be going to every show when they are in town! It was truly an AMAZING night and I am so excited I got to see this group of dancers!!!
