When I got married last year to my husband Matt, I gained not only a husband, but a great family – including my brother-in-law Zach. Last week he graduated from Lubbock Christian University with a degree in Finance. The trip up to west Texas for his graduation and being in our old home of Lubbock brought […]

Whether you’re a professional photographer, an amateur photojournalist, or a tourist with an iphone, we take so many pictures while on vacation because we want to be able to relive the best moments of our trip.

Texas Tech has a lot of interesting clubs and organizations (quidditch team, steampunk society, archery, Pokemon, and literally hundreds more) but one of the coolest, and the most life-threatening, is the Air Raiders Skydiving Club.
