Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down - #15

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later! I missed posting on Sunday; I chose sleep instead and I'm pretty sure you would have done the same if you were in my shoes :)

Up:

• Finally we join the smart phone revolution! I've been trying to convince Mike for months to get me a smart phone. His reply is always no: too expensive, monthly plan doubles, you have a computer at home and a camera that you can carry in your purse, and so on. Of course we are also talking about a guy that didn't get his first cell phone until after he graduated college. So, when he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said - a smart phone - and he agreed! On Friday not only did I get an iphone, but Mike did as well! He claims it is because it was only $10 more per month, but judging by the amount of time he has spent on the phone since Friday, I think otherwise! Feel free to text, call, send pictures, etc. because I now have unlimited everything!
• Veterans Day - It was so great having Mike with us for an extra day this weekend and we had a great time in Boise taking advantage of all the sales and deals. We are so proud of him and all those that have and are serving our country.

Down:

All in all it has really been a good week, not much to complain about. There is the 'to be expected' lack of sleep, but that could be on my list of downs for awhile!

• If I had to pick down for the week it would be Texas Tech's devastating loss to Oklahoma State. It was pretty obvious that Tech wasn't going to be fabulous this year, but their performance the past three weeks (especially this weekend) was below all expectations. Mike, who is seriously the most die hard football fan you will ever meet, is contemplating boycotting the rest of the season and that is BIG. Hopefully they'll pull it together and at least put up a fight in the remaining games.

I didn't take too many pics this week, but here is my beautiful daughter before Mass on Sunday:
