Hook em' Horns!

So we finally got to go to a Longhorn game. It was against Rice though, so what does that mean....boring, boring, boring. It was still fun though. Our hotel was horrible though. We must have stayed next to smokers on a "non-smoking" floor and the smoke would seep into our room every once in awhile and it was sickening. We walked the campus and Heath got see the School of Architecture. We had a lot of fun. Thanks mom and dad for inviting us!
I was sick the whole weekend though. I think it is bad allergies/sinuses from the storms that came through with the Hurricane because I've had a headache for about a week now.
That was pretty much our weekend. Next weekend we'll be at the make up game against Arkansas, so that should be fun too.
Hope you all had a fun weekend! Love you!

Thank you Hurricane Ike......

So we were all excited about this weekend because we had plans to head down to Austin for the UT vs. Arkansas game, but alas, mother nature wins again. The one weekend we have tickets (Thanks mom and dad!) a hurricane comes barreling through and it gets cancelled. No, the Longhorns aren't afraid of a little bad weather, it's just that everyone evacuating from Houston is coming up through Austin and the traffic is horrific right now! The good news is that the game has been rescheduled in two weeks! Yay! That is pretty much the news here. We are all just waiting for the bad weather to come through (the winds are supposed to be 60 mph or more) and hopefully everyone down South stays safe.
Oh, and Heath had his first interview at the Apple store yesterday and said it went really well and they are askig him back for a second next week. He is all about having this part time job because he really likes telling other people about Apple products and I think he'll enjoy it. We are just hoping he gets it to help out with saving money! Thanks honey, for being such a harfd worker! I love you!
School is also going well with him. He enjoys most of his classes and is working hard!
Love you guys! Hopefully we don't get blown away!

Weekend Update

League went well on Thursday. Davy ended up leaving our team so he could start one with his girlfriend so we were pretty bummed about that considering our team won last year. There are a lot of new people and it is a little bigger so it should be fun. I got a 147, 137, and I can't remember my last game but it was pretty bad.
The concert was great on Saturday. Maroon 5 played for way too long and the Counting Crows played way to short. Personally, I think it is way below CC's to even play with someone as horrible as Maroon 5. But all in all it was a great time.
I realized fun pictures would be good for blogs like this (especially to apease all of my eager readers, you know, all three of you), but I always forget to take pictures or load them. Sorry! I'll try better!

Camping, Competition, and some Crows....

So the camping trip was a big success. We forgot a few things, you know, like matches, but everything worked out just fine. We got there with enough daylight to set up camp and start dinner. Then we stayed up making Smores and talking with our friends Joey and Kira who went also. The next morning we got up to some little boy screaming that he "caught a fish grandpa!!" and attempted breakfast. I say attempted because we had left our borrowed matches out in the morning dew (not smart). Then Kira and I swam in the lake and we packed up and headed back into town. It was a really good time and not that expensive to do. After that we were supposed to go over to the Anderson's but we were really tired and had a lot of cleaning up to do so we sadly had to stay home (we always have fun with Mer's family). So that was our Labor Day and we had a blast.
Other news this week is that my bowling league starts up again on Thursday and I am super excited about it. It is pretty much a World Religions class because everyone comes from different backgrounds and different faiths and we get together with respect and have a really good time. Plus, it is the only bowling league that I know of that is smoke free and alcohol free. How great is that!? I wish more people could be aware of this great oppurtunity and come join the fun, we need more people!
Also, my brother comes into town this Friday to go to the Counting Crows concert with me on Saturday. It is his birthday present and should be a lot of fun. Heath isn't going because he doesn't really care for them and would rather stay home and save money and just jam with Joey on the guitar. So it should be some good brother-sister time.
It is a busy week and I am so excited for all the fun. Hope everyone is doing well. Love you guys.

Deep thoughts on hypocritical people...

I'm so sick of people saying one thing and doing another. If you say you are poor and make everyone feel sorry for you because you are, then you better well live stinking poor. None of this going out and buying new, expensive crap and then saying you can't afford food or gas. I HATE THAT. Be smarter than that.

Labor Day Weekend!

Yay, I love holiday weekends. Why you ask? Because I get to be off work and still get paid for it! Today is a half day at work (I didn't even know we had those!? It is like grade school again!) so I get to leave at 11:00 and spend some time with Heath.
Things are going pretty good here. Heath quit his job at HCA so he could go to school full time and started his semester this week at TCC. He is enjoying his classes so far and LOVES not working. He is looking into a part time job to help out and might just get a job at our Wal Mart with our friend Joey. I am just so greatful for all the hard work he put in at HCA even though he hated that job. He is so awesome!
I am still working at Presby-Denton. It has been good, although I have to admit it has been hard to motivate myself some days. I have the worst attention span and my head wonders a lot, and that is not good at a job where productivity is everything.
Both of us got callings in our Ward. I am the "Publicity Person" for Enrichment and Heath is a Ward Missionary. Is it bad to say I was a little disappointed and sad that I didn't get Heath's calling? I love missionary work because I am product of it. Drawing memos and signs for upcoming Enrichment nights just seems lame, but I am glad to get more involved with Relief Society and get to know some people (Honestly, I would have loved Nursery or Primary, but because I did that before, they wouldn't even think of me for it again). I'm sure the Lord has a plan for me in all of this but I just don't know it yet.
Last night we got to go to Chuck E Cheese's with Ben, Mer, Syd, Mal, and Cody. It was so much fun to run around with Syd and play games with her. She is such a sweet kid and we are so lucky to be able to be so close to them. We got over a 1000 tickets and got Syd some great, well junk, but fun junk. What a fun time.
A couple of weeks ago we went on a little trip to San Antonio for the weekend. It was a blast! We stayed on the Riverwalk, did some sightseeing, and went to Sea World. It was nice to get away and spend some time together and it was our first road trip together!
We are thinking about going camping this weekend, but aren't sure yet. I think that is pretty much it with us. Hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy! Love you guys!

We're alive!

Well as you can see things have been busy, busy and I haven't had any time to get on this thing and update. Well, that and we currently do not have internet at our apartment so it is a lot harder to make time for the good ol' blog these days. Just a little update for what is going on with us...... Heath will be starting school at the end of August, he deferred UNT for a year and is going to attend TCC because he got grants there and only loans to UNT. I am enjoying my new job at Presby-Denton and especially enjoying not having to worry about school! Although I did sign up for my certification exam which I will have to do quite a bit of studying for. We are still enjoying the apartment and everything else is going pretty well also. We are just sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see if Ben and Mer get this new job in Nashville. We want it for them but also will miss them a ton and can't imagine life without them. Other than that it has just been hanging out, having the girls (Sydney and Mallory) over for swimming, and just trying to relax! Hope everyone else is good. Love you all!
