Football Fashion Friday

 Last weekend a family member gave my mom & I free tickets to go to the Beaver game! My Dad has season tickets and my brother is currently a student at OSU so we all went together. Love this picture of me and my youngest brother in front of the MU. He is getting his degree in Political Science and has just finished up helping campaign for a candidate for the election.

 My mom & my brother. You can see Gill Colosseum in the background.

 My mom & I had seats in the end zone. It was a cold day but there were beautiful bouts of sunshine off and on. This picture was taken right before we scored a touchdown.

 Love all that orange and black!

 The end of the game. Well, we lost. Seems to be happening a lot for us this season. Just not our year. But we stayed til the end to support our team. We're Beaver believers no matter what!

 My Dad has a special pass that gets us in to watch the Radio interview with Mike Riley after every game.

 Sorry it's blurry, I didn't want to use my flash! I know we're going through a rough patch with the team this year but I have always liked Mike Riley. I am glad he is our coach!

 My family + some family friends.

 Reser Stadium!

What I wore: Hat: Beaver Store (Child Size!) // Sweater: Victoria Secret // Shoes: Nike // Mom's Shirt: Beaver Store

End of the night with my mamma. Even though we lost, we had a fun time visiting, and people watching and cheering on our team!

 OOOOOOSSSSSSSSUUUUUUU Oregon State Fight Fight Fight!

Let's hope we win this weekend!

Go Beavers!

Fall is Officially Here

Well, it's finally starting to feel like Fall. Last week we got a lot of rain, and I found out that the parking lot at my school floods, but not until I walked in to ankle deep water on the way out to my car. Luckily, the rain stayed away long enough for us to have a dry Friday night football game (well the bleachers weren't dry, but we didn't get rained on!). To top it off my husband's team won! One more league game and then it's playoffs...inching my way closer to the end of high school football season ;)

 

What I Wore: Scarf: Target // Jacket: Forever 21 (old, similar) // Top: Old Navy (old, similar) // 

Leggings: Old Navy // Shoes: Ross (old) // Lipstick: MAC Russian Red

My husband bought me these shoes for our 2nd Christmas together. It was our first Christmas alone together in in our own place. We were married a week before Christmas so our first Christmas was pretty chaotic! We went on a 5 day honeymoon & flew home Christmas Eve morning for his family's gathering, we stayed there and then drove to my parents' place Christmas morning and didn't get home until the day after Christmas. I always where these shoes to his football games :)

 

This outfit felt a little "Halloween-ish" to me. Red, black, leather & spiks? Not really my usual style, but spikes were really in when I bought this jacket last fall. I was influenced by all the fashion bloggers ;)

Anyway felt a little "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in this get up (minus the Nikes!).

Here we go. Another week.
Happy Monday!
 

Friday Night Lights

Last week the high school team that my husband coaches played my old high school for their homecoming. The final score was, like, 52-0...My high school lost. Not much has changed since I was in high school! I think my senior year our football team won 1 game. Oh well, at least our dance team was good ;)

The town that my husband and I live in has a huge 4th of July fireworks display every year, and they donate the leftovers to the high school for homecoming. After every touchdown they shoot one off and then at the end of the game they light off what was left!

Joel's parents came, my parents came & my younger brother. Here he is telling us details about the win :)

Even though being a football widow really sucks sometimes, it can be fun too. I am really proud of my husband for coaching in such a great football program. Tonight is going to be a HUGE game as we are ranked number 2 and we are playing the number 1 ranked team. I so hope we win!!

Happy Friday & Have a Great Weekend!

Seahawks Selfies

OK, today's post is kind of heavy on selfies. Sorry. My Dad got me a Seahawks shirt!! I wore is yesterday since they played, unfortunately they lost...to the freakin' Cowboys :( It's OK I'm still a fan!

I

 I haven't really payed any attention to NFL for most of my life. I rooted for the Beavers and that was about it. Oregon doesn't have a professional football team, but if you asked me who I rooted for in the NFL I would say the Seahawks, since they reside with our neighbors in the North West. Then I met my husband who was an avid Bears fan. So I switched to the Bears for a while. But then a guy from my hometown who went to my high school started playing for the Seahawks, so I switched back, and then they went to the Superbowl and he got to play! It was really exciting for my hometown. Anyway, he left the Seahawks to play for the Browns, but I decided to stick with the Seahawks. I still root for the Bears, and now the Browns too, but none of them have a quarterback as attractive as Russel Wilson! ;) I have an aunt & uncle & cousins who all live up in the Seattle area as well, so it is fun to root for the same team as them.

My new favorite eyeshadow is by Wet & Wild. It's a trio of colors called "walking on eggshells". It's a great neutral palette and the color stays on all day. I haven't had any problems with creasing or fading. It has one color for the lid, one for the crease, and one for the brow. It comes with a a small brush which I use for the crease of my eye. A makeup expert probably wouldn't use the brush it comes with but I think it works just fine for my everyday look. I was trying to show off my hair in these pictures because I styled it differently than usual. Lately I've been wearing pigtails everyday, because my hair has grown out to a mullet, but I haven't had time to get it done! So I put it in pigtails, poofed the back & curled. It was fun to wear it a little different because I usually only have time to wear it straight.

I made these outfits on Polyvore right after it was determined that the Seahawks were going to the superbowl. Wouldn't it be fun to wear these?

 Happy Monday all!

Civil War

Well folks, we survived our 1st half-week of teaching and now we on to our 1st full week! Despite not having much to say, things have slowly leaked out of my husband. He ended up having one class that a bunch of students were added to at the last minute and he didn't even have enough desks for all of them! I discovered that I have one 1st grade class that is going to be extremely difficult to manage.  The students are out of control to the point that all we got through last week in 45 minutes was move & freeze, and they didn't do so well at that. At this point the only thing I can think to do is to pray about it.

This past weekend we went to a family bbq in honor of the Beavers away game. Notice I said Beavers even though the ducks were playing as well. Pretty much everyone on my side of the family are Beavers fans. Joel was basically the lone Duck fan, but he did have company on this occasion as my cousin and her boyfriend sported some of that ugly green and yellow as well.
Yes, we are a house divided. And so begins the season of being a football widow and arguing over who is the better team (the ducks are better, but don't tell him I said that!). Oregon State is the better school.
I bleed orange til the day I die!
Go Beavers!

Happy Monday!
