2k10 or 09?


Today kind of feels like a flashback.... to 2009.

Last year at this time I was craving Pumpkin Spice Cake (I just pulled one out of the oven).

We had just finished up Race for the Cure (Jen just RAN it. I'm so proud of her!).

And ISU had just won a BIG game against Nebraska on the road (we just beat Texas in a BIG game on the road!!!).

Dont you just love fall??
