What a week

Well, it has been a busy, fun, sick kind of week. Friday night and all day Saturday I spent working on baby gifts and a baby book for Kristy's shower, which personally I think turned out awesome!!! Sunday, we had church and then Kristy's baby shower that afternoon, and I wasn't feeling very good that evening. I woke up Monday feeling miserable, couldn't breath out of my nose, my lymph nodes were swollen so much you could actually see them, and my ears were bothering me, so of course on my day off, I spent part of it at the dr. Ends up I have a throat infection, oh boy!! So now takin medicine for 10 days, but I'm feeling ok right now. At work, it's been pretty good. Boss is out of the office all week, which means, we get to clean the office!! So the last 2 days I've been a cleanin machine! OH! Before I forget, our pool is actually clear now!!! After about 20 something pounds of shock, it finally killed the algae and now is almost ready to swim in again! We plan on swimming a lot Saturday to get our moneys worth!! So, if it's sunny and you are hot, come on over and take a dip with us!! Well, I'm going to put a few new pics up on my link and hit the hay (yes I know it is only 7:20!). Have a great rest of the week! Until next time....

Been a While

Well, it has been a while since I have updated. Not a lot of things have happened. Just really busy at work this week. We are also trying to fix our pool. It has been green ever since the big rain. After an overall total of 22 lbs of shock, 32 oz. of algae killer, putting new sand in our sand filter, it has yet to become clear. Last night, Luke got brave and got in the pool to vacuum it out really well and scrub the bottom again. We are now waiting for results. We asked the pool guys about it and they said we have to keep shocking it till it kills the algae. So we are watching closely and keep adding shock. So pray that soon it will become clear again so we can actually enjoy it this summer since we have put so much money into it.
This is also a long weekend for us. My boss is out of the office all next week, so each of us are taking a day off next week and I chose Monday so I can have a nice long weekend, and Luke decided to take it off too. So we are planning on a nice relaxing long weekend with hopefully no falls, busted windshields or flat tires!!! :) Hope you all have a great weekend! Until next time...

USA Softball and BK

This weekend is full of fun events going on. We got a call early Saturday morning from Kevin who works with Luke who had tickets to the USA softball tournament, so we decided to go at the 3:00 game which was USA vs. Japan. We were so excited since I love watching it on TV and have wanted to see a game in person. Before we went to the game, we went to see the new Harry Potter movie which was really good. As we made our way into the stands at the game and took our seats, something didn't feel right. As we looked closer at the field we noticed that the players were not of the female gender. The teams however were USA and Japan. We got our tickets out and looked a little bit closer at them and realized that our game was marked ACS and not World Cup. Who knew that there was a mens fastpitch softball national team? Even though it wasn't the women's team, we still had a good time. I did get to see the USA women's team from a far as they were getting out of their bus. Here are a few pics I took, and always remember to read the fine print!!

After the game we went over to Scott and Rachael's house for BK groups for dinner and games. We had a great time and got to know each other better by using toilet paper!! (number of sheets, number of things you tell about yourself) Here are a few pics...

Hope you guys have a great week! Until next time...

Martina McBride & Little Big Town!!!

We had an awesome night last night!! As you can see from the title, we got to go to the Little Big Town/Martina McBride concert! It was AMAZING!! They put on a great show! I would love to see Martina everytime she comes to OKC. Our seats were floor seats, which was great, but the only thing I'm disappointed about was my pictures. With all the random lighting in the arena, it was hard to get any clear pictures, but here is some proof that we were really there!!!






My sister and bro-in-law got seats right behind us which made it entertaining as well! Here are some autographed souveniers and t-shirt we got from the concert...


I shot some video and there are a couple more pictures in my link to the right that you can check out as well! Well I'm off to an eventful Friday night with my family! Until next time...

It's been a while

Well, sorry it has been a few days since I have posted anything. Life has been busy these last few days. Monday I went to the chiropractor for my back and that went well. He also did some treatment on my wrist that I fell on since it has been bothering me. He said he thinks I did some damage to some ligaments, so he did some laser treatment which has seemed to help. Then Tuesday and tonight we have been babysitting at the church. Our bible class is in charge of a VBS at the inner-city church in Oklahoma City, so we are babysitting the kids in our class. We have had fun getting to know them better! Well, tomorrow night is an exciting night, so stay tuned and I will post soon and hopefully have some pics!!! My bed is calling me, so I shall be polite and answer!!! Until next time...

Finally....a relaxing day!!

Well, the relaxing day finally came!!! We started by getting up around 10 a.m., that's right! I actually slept in today!! We then went to Corban's 2nd b-day party which was Thomas the Train and had lots of fun!! Here are some pictures...

After the b-day party, we came home to relax for a while, and then we were off to see the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz play some football! We really didn't know what to expect, but we actually had a really fun time and are thinking about tickets for next season. We got to sit 5 rows up from the field at the end zone, so we were right there in all the action. One lesson I did learn is that if we have any boys in the future, football will only be something we watch, not play!! One guy got hit so hard I swore I saw birds flying above his head when he got up! His helmet literally flew 10 feet when he got hit! We want to say thanks to Kevin and his wife (Luke works with Kevin) for the tickets! We had such a great time!!! Here are some pics from the game...

There are more pictures of our fun day, just go to my link of pictures to see the rest and also some videos!!! Until next time...

It's Friday!!!!!!

Even though I only had to work 2 days, I'm so ready for the weekend. I felt like I needed another vacation after taking the first part of this week off to actually enjoy a couple of days off!! My thumb/wrist is feeling better, it gets a little sore towards the end of the day just because I am using them more now at work. Here is a quick peek at my shin that took part of the fall as well...

Well, I've been so proud of myself for keeping up with this blog thing so far! I can't let myself or my readers down now!! Tomorrow is going to be a busy, fun filled day. We're going to Corban's b-day party in the morning, and then we got free tickets to go see the Yard Dawgs (arena football) play tomorrow night. I have never been to an arena football game before, so this will be interesting to say the least!!! Personally I don't know who would ever call their football team the Yard Dawgs, but who asked me?!!! So, I will have some pics up sometime of our eventful day!!! Oh, speaking of pics...there are some new pictures in my link of last weekends campout/in with my family. We were suppose to go the lake to camp, but with all the rain, it ended up at my parents house, so enjoy!!! Well, we are off for the night, not sure what we're doing, but something fun!! Until next time...

Our new lil pal

Last night, Luke found a little bird in our backyard. As I got closer I realized that one of his wings looked broken. I put some gloves on and picked him up. I lightly tossed him in the air, but he just came tumbling down. So now we are watching him, and Luke is even trying to feed him worms. Here are a couple of pics of our new lil pal!

The crazy vacation continues...

Well, I got up this morning and went to the dr. Good news, it's not broken, bad news it will only take time to heal. I have pulled and possible tore my muscles and tissue of my thumb. That's why it hurts when I use it. So, doc said to keep icing it and taking an anti-inflammatory and it will get better over time.

On to the jeep...Luke went to get a new tire on the jeep since it had a flat and he found out that @ Firestone they did not have the right size of tire since our tires were Goodyear before, so we would have to buy all 4 tires for $300 or go down the street to Goodyear and get 1 tire for $200. Now let's do the math here....therefore, we have 4 brand spankin new tires on our jeep! And after he was done there, he came home to meet the guy for the new windshield. So now our jeep looks pretty new now!!! Not excited about the total amount we had to spend on everything, but it's new!!!

Well, supper is waiting so I must go now. Until next time...

Bad Start

Well, today is my first day of vacation and it did not go as planned. It all started this morning when I went out into the garage to get something out of the car and as I stepped down to move toward the light switch, I forgot that a huge plastic tub had been placed between me and the light switch 3 feet away. Therefore, I hit the tub, fell over the tub landing on my wrist/thumb and hip, hitting my face against the side of the tub and my leg scraping all the way down the tub onto the floor where I finished just to the side of the car. Now I have a nice goose egg on my shin, a bruise right below my left jaw and a bruised and possibly broken left thumb. I called the dr. to get in today but he had no openings until tomorrow morning, so he said I could come then or go to the ER. Well, I know if I go to the ER it will cost the arm and leg that I hurt plus sitting there for who knows how long, so I am just toughening it out for the day. I can move my thumb, it just hurts when I do and if pressure is applied. I have broken my right hand before not knowing since I could move it, so I don't want to just let it be incase it is broken. So... that is how the day started.

Then, as Luke and I were traveling down the interstate, a huge dump truck hawling rocks decided to throw one of its rocks at us and busted our windshield. So now we have a guy coming out tomorrow to give us a new windshield.

Now doesn't that sound like a great relaxing vacation!! Well, I'm off to start some supper or I may just call and order in food to finish off this stressful day!!! Until next time....
