All my exes live in Texas therefore I reside in SLC

As many of you know, when I married Eric I also adopted a college sports team, that team is the UCLA Bruins. To support our Bruins, the Olson clan (the other Olson clan) made their way south. All the way to Texas. The Bruins were playing the University of Texas, yeah those guys that played in the national championship last year. A bit daunting to say the least for our little Bruin bears.

Because of that we had to enjoy ourselves and ensure that the trip was not an entire bummer.

We spent time in San Antonio which was a pretty neat place.


Interesting fact about Texas in September: it is hot as Hell, but more humid.


San Antonio's River Walk, very jazzy.

Game Day in Austin. In from of Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium.

The marching band. Look at that T, well done guys.

Ez and i looking very happy, are the Bruins winning for real? THE BRUINS ARE WINNING!

The Bruins won! Just look at that UCLA section, so proud of that beautiful Bruin blue wave.

Bevo, Texas mascot. Sorry Bevo, it turns out in the battle between a Bruin bear and a Longhorn, the Bruin wins, who knew.

Steve, Michelle, Eric and I sticking around after the bruins HUGE win. I know many of you out there may not realize how awesome it was that UCLA won. Let me throw some facts at you to put it in perspective.

  • Texas was ranked 7th in the country, UCLA was not ranked.
  • UCLA was 1-2, Texas was 3-0
  • Texas was the 2009 Big 12 Champions
  • The last time Texas was beat at home was in 2007
Basically this was one of the best football games in UCLA history and we were there! Such a great weekend. Thanks to Mike for making it all happen!

P.S. The title of this post is in reference to a George Strait song. I do not in reality have any exes in Texas.
