Happy Thanks Giving!!!

Hey guys just wanted to say happy thanks giving to all of you. We know that some of you are not being able to be here with your families this thanksgiving. So please don't be upset, we know how much tough time you guys are going through defending the our country. We wish you all the best and pray so that you could come home asap.
By the way if there are any TEXAS TECH fans, sorry for the loss. I do have to admit that ttech got whooped the other day by OU. But no worries the LONGHORNS will take care of them for you whenever we get a chance. On behalf of the Texas State students and the US residents I would like to wish a very happy thanksgiving this year and hopefully for those who could not be here this year will have so many more in the coming years. We thank you and your families for all the support. We do have a new president elect and I knowthat he is 100% working hard to get you guys home.

Happy Veteran's Day!

Hello everyone -

If you're reading from Iraq, I just wanted to wish you all a happy Veteran's Day.

Commander Bennett and Amy actually came to our class last night to let us interview them and ask questions about what Army life is like in Iraq. It was very inspiring and he had so many good things to say about the troops stationed in Iraq and the families here who are holding down the fort until they return.

Capturing the essence of family

Just wanted to add that a New President is about to take office. And God permit we may be looking towards the end of Iraq War. Just wanted to acknowledge how much your effort over there away from home is appreciated. We were at Killeen the other day to do some shoots for our project. It felt really good to see how everyone at home are helping each other go through these tough times. The feel of oneness was all around. Thanks you guys and hope our project will give you some insight about your families here in the United States and by capturing some of the moments with your family will give us the opportunity to share with you how they are so eager to see you guys. Take care and be safe.

so lets see...
Texas Tech beat UT with like 1 second to go.
I think the AP Poll has Alabama at #1 but the BCS Poll wont come out until Monday.
The Phillies beat the Rays but not until Wed, because game 5 had to be postponed like 2 days.


I know that there is gonna be some music with the video we make for you guys and Im hoping to help get some kick ass music in there (im very much a music person, so i think im helping alot with that) and I think we decided that since this video isnt being used for profit we can use just about any music we want. so if you guys want to hear a certain artist lemme know. I think the only thing that im pretty adamant about putting in thus far is the hendrix version of the star spangled banner.

Happy Halloween!

Hi All -

Halloween has been going on for some time at Ft. Hood and the costumes were very creative and cute, and the kids were good sports. Here are a few of my favorites!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!

More Sports

The Phillies are leading the World Series 3 games to 1 and im pretty sure tonight they are going to seal the deal. they have been outplaying the rays in pretty much every aspect of the game.

UT cotinued their streak this weekend by barely beating OK State, 28-24. They are in for a big game next weekend though, its an undefeated UT vs an undefeated Texas Tech. There are alot of teams in college football right now that are still undefeated and i think something like 5 or 6 of them are non-BCS teams and there is alot of talk about which of them will and wont make BCS bowl games, and which ones should be eligible and shouldnt be based on how many ranked teams are in their conference and the difficulty left in their regular season schedule. and im personally thrilled that in a very big game of the weekend that Georgia beat LSU 52-38.

Well, if there any teams y'all wanna hear more about just lemme know and ill get some more news, and other facts about those teams.

God Bless,

Trip to Ft. Hood!

Hi All -

We had a big day in Ft. Hood on Saturday. Several us headed down bright and early so we could meet up with Saskia, Pierre, Avant, Iyana and Machai and take in a soccer game.

Then it was time to go on base for the Layette event. So many of the children were dressed up in their Halloween costumes and they were just adorable. We got lots of great pictures and video and Hillary also got quite a bit of audio, so we're all set to start editing!

Big thanks to Saskia, SGT Kincaid and Amy for hosting us during our visit!
