Ohio State Archives - Trinkets of Thought

Fun times this weekend with Family and Friends!

My parents came Friday night to help with childcare for our Bunco night for our church. Mom brought me the “biggest birthday card I’ve ever received.” She spelled out a message in cans… Can you see it? “H B M” It’s hard to see, but it stands for Happy Birthday Maren. My mom is super creative. Michael and his dad fixed up my pantry, so my mom brought a ton of cans to fill it. Thanks, mom! For those of you who know me, I like to cook, but go to the grocery store ‘few and far between.’ 🙂 I have to get creative with the cooking. This will tide me over for a while. LOL

We all then got together to cheer our Buckeyes on to victory!

Here’s Michael and his siblings.

We set up a projector in our living room and in our “Buckeye” room. Fun times. I forgot to take pictures all throughout, so only the faithful remained at the end to capture the scene. You get the picture…

Startin’ ’em young. Cute Cute Cute!

My 2 favorite younger siblings! God truly blessed me with a wonderful family!

I cut myself out of this one because I looked like my neck was permanently stuck. I loved the pic of them, though! Thanks for being the best!

I love this one of my parents! If you’re wondering why they weren’t watching the tv, they were watching the projection of the game.

Our house is TINY TINY, but we still had a blast on Saturday. It always helps when your team wins, though. GO BUCKS!

(R&L, when you read this, we missed you! You are in our ‘thoughts’! Love you guys. We’re thankful for you!)

I do not bleed Scarlet and Gray by nature. Rather, I married into a long line of fans of the OSU Buckeyes. Now, here’s what I have to confess. Very competitive by nature, I love for the Buckeyes to win. But, it isn’t just for the sake of winning…it translates to harmony of the home, as well. You see…if the Buckeyes win, all is well. HOWEVER, the wife of the avid fan DREADS the next game and the possibility of defeat. IF THEY LOSE…it’s a sad day in the Boehm household. I can’t stand for my husband to be disappointed in “his” Buckeyes. Grief enters the home and stays until the next win. Bottom line, I’m thankful for a good team and the win against Texas—important win. AND for any of you who watched it… How about those Herrington fans? Apparently, the QB of the Longhorns saved a man’s life. Now, they’re his biggest fan. They showed the man and his wife cheering for the qb 205 times—that’s a slight exaggeration, but not by much. I’m all for saving someone’s life, but to make them stars—a bit much. Okay, I’m off my Buckeye soapbox now.

In other news, Ross & Laura are on their way over to China right now!
