More AOII Bid Day Pictures

Here are a few more pictures from AOII Bid Day. For some reason it won't let me move them around in the proper order. This is the front of the house.

Here are the girls (members) waiting on the new members (freshmen) to come and join the house. The bids waiting to be delivered to the new members.
The back of the t-shirts.

The side yard where the party/food/deejay was.

OU/BYU

We just got back from Dallas and getting a bird's-eye view of the new Dallas Cowboy's stadium. It's pretty nice. This is the view from the parking lot walking up to it.

Kaitlyn and Michael.

The whole family.

Inside the stadium is starting to fill up. Here's a shot of the jumbotron.

Joe and I clowning around in our seats. We were up against a wall which was nice because our cup holders were on the back of the seats in front of us and there was lots of leg room.

The Sooner Schooner on the jumbotron.

I won't be doing any singing for awhile...

I just got back from the state's leading laryngologist, who after looking down my throat with a scope, said that my "acid reflux" is not causing my chronic hoarseness. Apparently, my vocal chords are not closing properly. The left side looks like a chunk is missing (??). The more I strain and try to talk the worse it makes it. They have scheduled a CT scan of my head and neck next week. Then I go back to meet with the doctor the following week. As an aside, I knew that the doctor looked familiar, he said I looked familiar too. I then remembered, he's a figure skater and took lessons from Roman (Kaitlyn and Kristen's coach) every Thursday morning at 5:30 AM. He'd already be on the ice when we got there warming up for our lesson. He was more into ice dancing. He's probably about my age or so (he has gray hair, so he could be younger, or older). We had a few moments remembering stuff and he asked why Kaitlyn was not still skating, even if she was in college!!! When he found out that Kaitlyn may major in physical therapy he gave me his card to give to her. Anyway, Joe is relieved that I won't have to jack the bed up on one end (to help with acid reflux), and I'm relieved that I don't have throat cancer or anything. Although, I may have to have injections (I'm thinking something like Botox) in my vocal chord so it will "puff" up and close properly. We'll see, only if I get lots of drugs and am asleep while they do it.......

I got my hair-a did...

I got my hair cut and colored yesterday. I'm not sure I totally like it. I like the length and I had "side" bangs cut, which I prefer to be more "poofy". The color is a little more blonde that I usually get it and it looks like I have no makeup on. It was at the end of the day and my makeup had pretty much melted off and I didn't have any lipstick on. Oh well, at my age, I just say, it'll grow out and I'll make it work!

First Day of College

Tomorrow is the first day of college for Kaitlyn. She's had a lot of fun the past few days with her new sorority friends, but now the day of reckoning is here! She's a little afraid (some classes have over 400 students in them). Michael is taking her around today to help her find her classes. She'll do just fine IF SHE CAN FIND A PARKING SPACE!! HAHA

Sorority Move-In Day

Party Pics snapped this picture of Kaitlyn and I just as we were approaching the tents for registration last Thursday. They get you when you're all happy and such (before you start getting cut from houses!!!!) HAHA

Bid Day - 2009

Kaitlyn pledged Alpha Omicron Pi - same as Kristen. We're all happy. Kaitlyn's best friend, Lindsey also pledged AOII too. She's not so happy right now. She is still in shock that the house she wanted first dropped her. She'll be a great AOII, she'll love it once she gets over her shock!!
