Sporting Event!!!

So last Saturday we went to a Huskers vs. Virginia Tech game. It was a HOT game to go see. I had spent all week looking for tickets to this game it's not very often the the Huskers make it out this way so it's one of those things that you just have to do. The tickets were going for $200 a piece sitting in the nose bleeds I just couldn't see paying that much for tickets but I kept looking! I was on Ebay and StubHub! On craigslist and random sites trying my hardest to track down some tickets. This one guy that I had never met before from Nebraska saw my post on Craig's list and decided to lend me a helping hand. He would send me new post of tickets and contact people to see how much they were selling them for. He found this one post on Craig's list and emailed it to me. When I contacted the seller he wanted $100 each and they were on the 50 yard line 5 rows up as you can tell from the picture!!! SOLD!!

So we headed out early Saturday for our 4 hour car ride to Virginia Tech. We met up with some old High school friends of mine and went to the game. It was a great day for a football game. Huskers were playing well and we thought we had it in the bag but the last 40 sec of the game VT was able to throw a hail Mary and score a touchdown. What a way to end a game, but we were glad that we were able to be there!!!

House guest, Baby room and Promotion news!

We have had a house guest all last week. One of Dave's buddies from the Marine Corp got out and needed to stay an extra week so he stayed at our place...But we quickly put him to work. Dave took the week off to spend with him and do some painting in the babies room. We decided to go with a safari theme for the room and Dave picked out this really cute bedding set that has animals and different sport balls throughout. We decided to go with 2 colors for the room that matched the bedding. Blue on top like the sky and green on bottom like the grass. We were going to put a border that matched the bedding as well between the 2 colors but after we pulled the tape down we are not sure if its something that we are going to do or not. Below are a couple pictures of that day!


pretty much done not sure if the boarder is going to go up or not

Nick (the house guest painting away)

Dave in the picture he doesn't even need a step stool!

While they were painting Dave received a phone call with some Awesome news!!! He is finally getting promoted. This has been a long time coming. The MOS (job) that he is in has been 120% full for over a year now making it very hard to move up in the ranks...but finally he has seen the light and it couldn't come at a better time! He will be reenlisting in to the Marine Corp in December but LAT moving (changing jobs) and in that MOS it is much easier to move up. So now he will more than likely be able to pick up SGT sometime next year. But we will have to wait and see!!!

Going Great!!!

So it has been way to long since I blogged last it is funny how fast time flys when you are having fun so much to say! Let's see where to start. I had my 20 week U/S on the 21st. I had to drink 32 oz of water before the appointment needless to say I had to go to the restroom really bad on the way to the appointment. And of course I sat there 20min past my appointment time waiting. I felt like a child again having to cross my legs and do a little dance. Then during the appointment with all of the poking and prodding I about wet myself! But everything went great. It is amazing what you can see when they do those High resolution pictures. The tech was able to show us the liver, the 4 ventricle heart (beating of course soooo neat). We were able to see the different parts of the spine, then his little legs and arms including the bones inside. and of course his little profile!!! It is just amazing to see and how much he has grown in such a short amount of time! They are also able to push a button and you can see the blood flow in his body very neat as well! During the appointment they did several measurements on him the size of his head and size of his mid section/waist. Then they were able to tell me about how much he weighed...it was 14 oz almost 1 pound. According to the books at about this "age" they are supposed to weigh about 11.5 oz he was about 2 weeks ahead but they are not really worried! I have some great pictures but have not scanned them in yet so they will be up later!

It's A ......

What a weekend is all i have to say!!!

It was a long Thursday-Sunday. I think I had food poisoning or at least the food did not fall right with me. So I was out Thursday and Friday started feeling well Friday afternoon and decided to clean a little for the Wedding Shower at my house on Saturday. I don't know what i was thinking I looked at the tiles at my entrance and decided that they were dirty and sprayed bleach to whiten it...Dixie was playing on the stairs with her ball and it started to roll down the stairs i didn't want it getting into the bleach so I went to catch it and slipped on the wet tile and got a nice sized "whole" in my leg I hit the banister and cut it pretty well. Probably should have gotten stitches but I was alone and didn't want to move. Dave and JV got home and we decided to go get the food for the party. I managed to get up and go get the food to feed 20 some odd people. I had an appointment to find out the sex on Saturday before the party so I wanted to get all the food ready/put together before hand so we got home and I did just that...once I was done I went down stairs to help Dave finish cleaning when the phone rang...it was Casie telling me that the wedding was off at 9pm. I didn't know what to do I wanted to yell and cry at the same time. We had spent over $700 on this wedding between my dress Dave's Tux, shoes, presents, and food. Needless to say I was drained.

Saturday finally came and it was time to go to the appointment and got some wonderful pictures. We found out it is a Boy!!! Since my parents are in PR I called a cousin up and had her bake a cake and make the cake blue put white frosting on top and "can you guess what it is" written on it. She took it over to them so they could find out...when she got there she had locked the cake and keys in her car so my father spend 2 hours trying to get into the car so all the nerves were up...they called us when they finally got the cake and took pictures so we could see it while they cut the cake. All I heard in the back ground was my mother yelling BLUE!!! then yell "I WANTED A GIRL!!!!" it was too funny. But I'm glad we got to do it. It didn't work as well with Dave's parents what we did with them was upload the sonogram pictures to Wal-Mart for the 1 hour photo for them to pick up at theire Wal-Mart in Nebraska and they had to look at the pictures to find out. That was fun also.

I'm a little worried because JV already has some ideas up his sleeve for this poor little boy....But let the shopping begin!!!

Sunday morning we had to take JV to BWI at 7 in the morning he will be in New Mexico for the next 2 months.

That was my weekend!!!! Still in some pain but doing better.
