Fridays off

I am so thankful to work for a company that has a 9/80 schedule which allows me to have every other Friday off.  I know I am in a rare situation and especially coming straight out of college to this environment.  I love my job and I love my employer!

My Fridays off are usually full of running errands, but today has been slow and restful.  I typically have a hard time sleeping in, but today I felt as if I was a teenager again...10:07 a.m. is when I woke up, woah!  Had to eat breakfast quickly before I went to get my eyebrows waxed at European Wax Center (check them out if you haven't already).  Ever since then I've been snuggled down on the couch watching t.v. and doing some much needed laundry.

I don't think I ever appreciated the mounds of laundry that my mom did for our family growing up.  And I'm always so amazed that 2 people can produce so many dirty clothes over the course of just 1 week!  So thanks Mom!

I think I'll finish my afternoon with a little weights as cross training to my running class.  Oh, you haven't heard.  My best friend, Kathryn and I are taking a running class through Run On! on Tuesday and Thursday nights.  Neither of us have ever enjoyed running or been good at it, so we thought why not pay someone to motivate us.  So we are training to run a 5k without stopping...woah.  Granted I'm no Pink Girl, but maybe one day!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  

Social Network-- Baby Jesus style

So my dad was telling us about this video that was shown at our home church

Tell me what you think!  Merry Christmas!

Made my Monday...

I couldn't help but post this little diddy!  This lady and her sweet moves made my Monday.  ENJOY

Public Apology

Last night we had our Bible fellowship class meet as we do each week on Wednesday nights at Prestonwood.  Our class directors, the Josh and Jenny, have been married for about 7 years now and have 3 beautiful children.  We were blessed to hear them speak about Ephesians 5:22-33.  Bryan wasn't able to be in class due to needing to be at practice with his Texas Twister boys, so I soaked in enough for the 2 of us. 

As I sat in my seat with my Bible on my lap, I really tried to listen and think as to how I could improve on being a Godly wife.  Jenny gave us the girls side of things and I felt about 2 inches tall after she finished speaking.  And it is not that she was getting onto us or raising her voice at all, it was because I haven't been the kind of wife Bryan deserves.  One item that Jenny said she struggled with was not wanting to control her husband in the small things.  Her example that she used was driving...if anyone has driven in a car where Bryan was driving and I was in the passenger seat, I'm sorry.  I am so bad about just letting the man drive and in essence it comes across as not trusting him.  So in front of all you readers, I want to apologize to my husband...Bryan-  I am sorry for trying to control you even in the little things like which route to take or which lane to be in on the Tollway.  Will you please forgive me?

Jenny took us back to Gensis 3:16 where it says "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children.  Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you".  Now we all know the childbearing part, thank goodness for epidurals, but she focused on the desire part.  The word desire in this instance isn't talking about the sexual desire, but more so a desire to control...dang it Eve, I'm blamming it on you!  So from the get go, we are wanting to control, but God's perfect plan is designed to have the man be the head of the household. 

I have so much to learn as to how to be Bryan's happy helper and I'm thankful that he is patient with me as we go down our marriage journey.  God knew the perfect man for me!

Hello Win Column

Well well well......here we are, 14 years after the last Texas Rangers playoff win. Don't even act like you've forgotten what it took to get a leg up on the competition in those days either. We locals here in the DFW area have endured some of the worst times when it comes to our national pastime. But here we are......2010, and like a lot of our local heroes have been telling us lately, IT'S TIME!!!

I can't even begin to tell you what I think of these so called "loyal" Ranger fans I have seen here popping up lately. Funny how a winning record changes people's opinions about whether they like a team or not. But that's neither here nor there, what we're here to talk about is how awesome the atmosphere is around here lately. Anyone remember the last time the Cowboys were laying regular season football games, and people were still talking about the Rangers?? Not me!! I have to admit, I have loved the attention the team has gotten, and how in love the media has become with this "Claw & Antlers" craze that's been going on.

Ever since the new ownership took over, and a Texas legend finally got in the saddle for this team, they have done some amazing things. Thank you Tom Hicks for writing checks that bounced, and for finally realizing how terrible of a business man you really are. The greatest thrill for me this year has been seeing a team that I have worshiped ever since I could pick up a baseball, finally get some national respect, and not be considered a joke amongst the baseball community anymore. I, along with a lot of other locals, have stuck by this team through thick and thin, and these guys are due for a late October run for a change. Let's watch them head into the ALCS soon, and see where it goes from there. Aw heck, let's close this with a little ditty you might have heard at the ballpark this year.

Finally, Baylor Football in Dallas is upon us!

Tomorrow will be the day that we jump on the DART just a few blocks from our downtown apartment and head over to the Cotton Bowl.  Although this event won't be as big as 2 crazy teams that played last week, it'll still be great.

The man of the hour(s) will be the one and only Robert Griffin III.  With 1351 passing yards thus far this season, I'm hoping to see another stellar performance from the king bear.  It has been a LONG time since Baylor football has had something to be proud of, and by long time I am referring to when Baylor beat A&M in double OT.  I totally bought the shirt, 2 actually.  While that subtle jab was great, I'll leave you with this sweet music. 

Best thing since the Evolution of Dance

One of my friends at work sent this little video to me and I'm pretty sure I've watched it at least 5 times already!

In other news, tonight will mark another game in Decepticons softball history.

Granted the team has changed up a bit, but the mission is still the same...Win our league (D-league mind you) and show up big for the playoffs.  I never played the game growing up, but dating and eventually marrying a baseball player will eventuallly get you into some variation of the game.  I played for my sorority in college and enjoyed spending time with friends from work.  So for the fall season, my Thursdsay nights are spent with that crew above.  Loving that it's my Friday, loving the weather, and loving the mighty DECEPTICONS!
