The Week in Review

So this was not such a good week. Work was emotionally draining beyond belief this week and then on Wed. we sat and worried about a player all day who was having a chest biopsy done. Thursday was crazy with all 25 of Billy's guys coming over for dinner...yes, it was nuts...then Friday mom and I scrapbooked all night and did it again Sat. until time for tailgating and the game. We had a lot of fun scrapping and I got several pages done. It was good to just hang out after the beginning of the week. Thursday night it looked like our house had been invaded by giants. Now I am not a small girl, and I felt as though I was a dwarf in my own house. Then to watch them consume spaghetti...lord have mercy...it was NUTS I tell ya!!! I was glad that I kept thinking big when I was buying stuff b/c it paid off in the end. There was NOTHING left by the time they were done. Billy and I neither one got to eat, but they loved it and we had fun so that's all that matters. Last night may have been the worst game of the season so far. We were FLAT from the get go. We won, but I don't know how. The final score was 36-3, but it was a lot closer than that...or at least it felt like it was. Luckily we didn't have any major injuries...just weird illnesses that keep popping up. First it's the weird chest mass on one of our big guys and then last night another one of them was complaining of chest pain and so he's having to have a stress test done today. It seems like if it's not one thing it's another. Somedays I just sit back and wonder...I know I said I would try to post pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet and I am on call tonight, so I need to go try and get a nap in before I have to go to work. Peace.

So we've been going non-stop since the last post. We've played 3 more football games (which were all won by us...), acquired a new dog, Boudreaux...the new one I got suckered into, bought a new king size bed...which is heavenly, had a visit from Billy's sister, and I've dyed my hair! The trip to Colorado for the second game of the season was a little rough. Billy left with the players on Friday but I got the pleasure of making the trip all in one day with the other coaches' wives. It was a six hour drive and a 2 o'clock game so we left here at 6:00 Saturday morning and got to Alamosa just in time to watch the game and turn around and come home. Needless to say we were all excited that the next game was a home game. Billy's sister came down for that game and we had a great time. It was good to get to see Jody and also to get to see my husband for a few extra hours since he didn't have to travel. This last week was a busy one and we decided that after was almost all killed ourselves going to Colorado that we were going to chicken out on the 8 hour drive to Oklahoma so we watched it on the internet at the head coach's house. We had lots of fun and it was nice to not have to get home at 6:30 in the morning like our husbands did. This week is already proving to be a busy one. We are having all of the offensive linemen over for dinner on Thursday so I spent all day yesterday (and I do mean ALL day) making spaghetti sauce. Now my house smells like spaghetti sauce! :) Then Friday my mom is coming to town and she and I are going to spend most of the evening and most of the day Saturday scrapbooking. I can't wait. I haven't had time to sit down and scrap for a couple of weeks now and I've got to get back into it or I am going to be immensely behind...not that I'm not already, but it will be even worse. Hopefully next post I will have pictures of the new hair color and maybe even a new style...I can't decide. Anyways...have a wonderful week and hopefully I will update before the two week mark next time!

Sucker Punched...

So yesterday morning I show up at Critter Camp with Rocky to drop him off for doggie daycare...yes he goes to daycare, it's a long story that will have to be explained another day though! :) Anyway, as soon as we walk in the door the lady is like, awwwww....Rocky needs a brother. I was like, what are you talking about. Then she started telling me about this little black corgi that they had that had been abandoned and if it didn't get adopted by Friday they were going to have to take it to the pound. Well, of course, I was sold, however, I did what any good wife would do and went home and talked about it with my husband when he woke me up at lunch. Of course he was all for it, so when I went back to pick up Rocky, who was soaking wet from playing in the swimming pool all afternoon, I signed all the papers and paid my $80 and will go pick him up tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited for Rocky to have a playmate and I pray that he is as well behaved as Rocky. He seemed to be when I met him yesterday. He's really cute. We are now trying to think up a name for him. They people at the kennel were calling him Handsome, but Billy is not a fan of that one and so he's working on thinking up a new name.

As a side note: Please be praying for one of Billy's players. His name is Tommy. He broke his leg fairly severely last night at practice and had to have surgery on it. I went and checked on him this morning before I came home from work and he's doing good, just in lots of pain and pretty bummed. He's a senior and definitely had a chance to play in the NFL. I don't know how that will all play out now. Also be praying for his family as they travel over here to be with him. He is from Hawaii and so they have a long road just to get here.

Well, it's time to take my grandma rollers out of my hair and finish getting ready for work. Later!

WTAMU 55 South Dakota 45

We won!!!!! I was so excited that we won. This was a huge game for our guys. They were all (coaches and players alike) frustrated with where they were ranked this year and for them to go out and play as well as they did was great!! I have very little voice today b/c I yelled so long and so loud. I've come to the conclusion that some people just don't need to sit in or near the student section. We have these VERY fun noisemakers called Kazoobees and they are loud...as noisemakers were intended to be. Well, needless to say, there were quite a few people sitting around us who didn't appreciate our noisemakers and finally got up and left. It's a football game people...what do you want me to do, sit in the bleachers like a bump on a log...I don't think so! There was a funny (well sort of) incidence part way through the 3rd quarter. Some South Dakota guy kept popping off to a WT fan and finally the fan had had enough and hauled off a hit him. Needless to say he got arrested and the other guy had to find the first aid station. Boys...some of them never grow up!

South Dakota

Today is the first game of the season!!! I'm so excited. I can't wait. It seems like it's been forever since I last watched a football game. The scrimmages were great, but tonight is the real deal.

Football...

As most of you know football rules the roost at our house. Football takes precedence over everything here. Today the guys have their 2nd preseason scrimmage and I must admit that I am quite excited about it. I don't know a whole lot of girls who get excited about a scrimmage, but I am definitely excited about it. The first game of the season is next Thursday and I can't wait!!! Even though I have a dentist appointment that morning, I still cannot wait for it to be here. It's funny to have a human perspective on what God does. Do you ever think about what he's thinking about watching us? Last night I'm sure he was saying, what the hee haw are those crazy girls up to now. I got to work on gen. pediatrics last night for the first time since we got married and it was so much fun. We laughed SO hard about all kinds of goofy stuff that the rest of the world I am sure did not find near as humorous as we did! :) It's good for me to laugh. I've decided that I haven't done enough of it lately.

Well, I am off to take a bath and shave my legs so that I can wear shorts to the scrimmage and not embarass myself. ta ta for now.
