Raiders, Aggies, & Longhorns

On Saturday we went to the game and the first half was close but Tech got there act together and BTHO A&M. Jamey and I are looking forward to the Tech vs. Texas game coming up this weekend. I am on the fence with this game....Jamey has got me cheering for Tech but, I have always loved the Longhorns. Thanks bunches to Geoff and Emily for the great seats at the game!

NKOTB- We were "Hanging Tough"

My cousin Emily and I went to the New Kids On the block concert in Houston a week ago. It's been a crazy week so I apologize for just posting. It was great that Jamey and I got to spend time with Emily and Geoff in Bryan/College Station. The concert was awesome, we went in style and had a blast. We sang all the old songs and did not no any of the new ones. When "Hanging Tough" came on the place erupted and we went crazy singing as if we were in junior high all over again...and of course we were waving our arms side to side! Thanks for the great time Em.

Diverticulitis

What is that you ask? It's what Jamey was diagnosed with last week. Diverticulitis is an infection in the colon that is caused from a lack of fiber. This time last Sunday we were headed home from the emergency room. Jamey had been feeling bad for a couple of days and decided to go find out what was going on. He was having really bad pain in his lower left abdomen. They treat this with two different antibiotics and a clear liquid diet for 3-4 days. It turns out the antibiotics have helped the infection and pain in his side, but making Jamey sick at his stomach. Needless to say we have had a very rough week dealing with this. It seems that my hubby is finally on the mend. THANK GOODNESS!!! At least we have a fun week ahead of us. Thursday I am headed to my cousin Emily's and we are going to the New Kids on the Block concert. I am super excited! Then Jamey is going to meet us and Emily and her husband Geoff got us all tickets to the A&M vs. Tech football game on Saturday, so we are looking forward to that as well. I will be sure to fill you in on our fun-filled weekend.

Babysitting, Stomach Aches, and Monday Night Football

Last Friday night Jamey and I practiced parenting by babysitting Nolan. So, Jamey sat in the recliner, doing what he does best...watching football while I tended to Nolan. Nolan kept us entertained for about an hour then it was bedtime. I went to lay him down but he wasn't quite ready to go to sleep so Jamey came to the rescue and was able to get put him to sleep. But, Jamey came back into the living room and told me that there was an issue. Nolan's diaper needed to be changed and Jamey had just got him to sleep and now it was my job to wake him up and change him. THANKS JAMEY! So, I wake him up, change him, and get him back to sleep quickly.

On Monday morning I woke up about 4:00 am with my stomach churning and I am feeling very ill. Nolan had been sick, gave it to Erik(his dad), then passed it to cousin Coey, too. I laid in bed all day Monday with Jamey coming in from work several times to check on me.a definite plus of him working 5 minutes from home! Monday afternoon I am thinking I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband to come home to take care of me....that's when Jamey comes in and reminds me he is going to the Cowboys vs. Eagles Monday Night Football game. I think to myself, why isn't Jamey sick? I am quick to remember his babysitting consisted of sitting in the recliner watching football...and now he's off to watch some more football!

Jamey got home from the game around midnight and decided that he would go ahead and wake me up tell to me about his evening at the Cowboy game in this awesome suite and how the game was so great.

I am all better now! Jamey and I had a great time with Nolan. Laura told me that this is pretty much par for parenthood. We are looking forward to doing it all again soon. We are great babysitters!

Football Season!

Jamey and I don't see eye to eye on football teams. But, we both like to watch football and enjoy spending the time while we watch. The rules are that we have to cheer for the others team even if we don't want to...we both try to respect each others team. Sometimes hard to do! Jamey's loves his Texas Tech Red Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. Me, I love the Louisville Cardinals and the Indy Colts (b/c of Peyton Manning). The one team we both agree on are our Waxahachie Indians. We are looking forward to going to Emily and Geoff's in October when the Red Raiders face off with the Aggies.

Kitchen Complete!

Jamey has owned our house for about three years now. It is a very traditional brick home that was built in the seventies. He bought it with the thoughts of fixing it up over time. Just like most men, Jamey was waiting on a woman's touch...that's where I come in. It only took us about two weeks to redo everything. Jamey and his Father (James) did most of the work so instant sweat equity in our home! Below are the before and after photos. The cabinets look cream or even yellow in the photos but they are actually a light brown and antiqued. As you can see the old kitchen was dark and drab. The new kitchen has all updated stainless steel appliances, giallo ornamental granite counter tops, "antique look" backsplash, new seamless stainless steel sink and pullout faucet, and new window treatments. It's not complete just yet...I am still looking for wall decor. If you and your family are thinking about remodeling your kitchen, beware! Jamey was cooking hotdogs in the microwave (on the floor) for dinner several nights. I love my new kitchen!

Dinner with my Boyfriend & his parents....Oh and My Husband

Last night we went shopping and to the Cheesecake Factory with our friends the Seymore's. (Reference: Jenny's link to See More Seymore's) They have an adorable little boy, Luke. He has become a favorite of ours and over time he has been giving Jamey a run for his money. Last night we laughed all evening at his character and antics. When they sat us down last night they sat us in a half moon booth and right before Jamey began to sit down Luke pushed him out of the way and jumped in his spot to sit by me :) After dinner we came back to the house where Jamey, Jon, and Luke played guitar hero and they began to dance around. As you all know Jamey loves to dance but once again Luke took the show. Luke danced around the living room and showed us all his moves..it was the best entertainment!

Jamey and I have been looking for a new dinning room table so our dinning room is completely empty right now. Luke said he really liked the room because it was empty....I asked him if he thought it might look better if it had a table in it...he proceeded to tell me that he is going to get Jon's (His Dad) wallet and his mustang and take me to buy a new table for the room. I can't wait for my boyfriend to get his Dad's wallet and take me shopping in his Daddy's mustang!!!! Your in trouble Jamey...Love it!
