Family Weekend

So, not a whole lot has been going on lately, at least not anything that makes me want to sit down and type about it. Pretty uneventful week. Had a double header softball game Thurs, that was neat. They actually played two pretty good games. The last was the best, they got 8 runs in! Like 4 of them in one inning! We were proud. Here is part of that:



Sooo. Been trying to get out and play softball a bit with Lee every evening after it cools off. We may be playing in a charity benefit softball tournament soon. So I best be up to par! I'm getting better. I can throw decent now, and my catching is getting there, needs lots of work still. I am probably going to be playing the hind catcher, so I practiced that a bit, having Lee pitch me balls. Its a lot harder then it looks! Besides the fact your thighs start killing you.

So Friday we had planned a family bque thing. We all brought stuff and dad grilled steaks. And we played some v-ball and then kicked the soccer ball around. Kirsty and I brought our bows and we shot a bit. Then we went down to the theatre room and played some call of duty on the x-box and then the new tiger woods golf game. Which I WON! hehehe, first time playing ever! It sounds boring, but is actually quite fun.

Then sat morning we slept in a bit, and then headed over to my oldest bros. He bought a HUGE playset for Dawson. It was $1500!! Its 3 stories! Spoiled much?? Haha. He was SO loving it though. After we got a bunch put together, all but the swings and monkey bars, he was playing on it and was just smiling and laughing!

Bowser came with us and he had a lot of fun too. He loves little kids. When Dawson started going down the slide he was getting so excited and wanted to play with him.




So after that Chris and them wanted us to go swimming, so we went and picked up dinner (taco bell, lol) and then came on over there. It was COLD. I didn't stay in long, lol. Then on home! Sunday we got up and went to church, then small group. We played golf again but I got 3rd this time, behind the two that play all the time, lol. I was only like 1 stroke off the 2nd place.

Then after that they were going to go to a friends moms house on the lake and swim, etc. Well I REALLY wanted to go. I love the water, lake, swimming, sea dooing, tanning, etc. All that was going to be going on. And Jamie and them was going...well of course Lee doesn't like any of these things much, especially at a persons house he doesnt know, and it was a long ways away, and he has to get up at like 5. So we went back and forth for awhile with the welll, if YOU want to go fine, or if you dont want to go fine, etc. And he won. I just said to myself, fine, I know he'll be uncomfortable, and we always do what I want to, so I will sacrifice. Well, I TRIED to be in a good mood, but it didn't work, and I gave myself a headache wishing I was with them, and not there, and trying not to show it. NOT A GOOD DAY.

So Lee asked me if I wanted to go find some geocaches, so I was like okay, that will get my mind off it. So we went trying to find one near where we were that I had put in my GPS. We searched forever and never found it. I brought home two ticks on me tho, -_-. Thankfully just crawling and not attached yet. Then we had the GPS try to take us home a diff way, and it took us up in someones gravel driveway, there was no road there. It was weird. The GPS had the road going all the way back to the highway. But it DIDN'T. Great.

So we headed back to our town, and got fast and furious to watch. It sucked. I was expecting a lot more. Oh well. It was watchable. Although I could have done without all the stupid girls making out with each other and the bootys and boobs swinging around. GAG ME. Seriously. Def not one I want to watch again. So I was pretty happy when yesterday was over. I feel kinda ill at Lee, its his fault I had such a crappy time, but whatever. I need to grow up and get over it. I'm trying. :shrug:

We played a little ball that night too, I was doing pretty decent! Lee was just happy to see me out of my funk I think. I just talked to my bro he said they had a supercharged sea doo, and the mom made them dinner, then they road arounc on the lake at dark. Wow, I really feel sucky now...whatever.

So wednesday we are doing something fun. Taking off work and going to the water park! hehe, six flags whitewater for the sis in laws birthday. Hopefully it wont rain, supposed to be scattered t-storms. 40%. Hopefully it will miss us! I also hope Lee will be okay with it. He's as you all know, not a fan of water, and especially getting water over his head. He said he will be fine, but we'll see!

So anywho, guess thats all for now. Adios!

Helloooo

So I guess its been a bit since my last post, so I better blog again!

So our first softball game went GREAT! They won! 5 to 4. It was a good game, the teams were pretty evenly matched, which I LOVE. I hate getting killed by a much better team, and then its kinda sad when you do it to another one, lol. They practiced against the redneck white trash team again Saturday night, and killed them again, lol. Although Lee didn't play as good this time, he wasn't hitting real well and he was running to 3rd and couldn't stop on top of the base and ran past it, so he was out :(. Of course now he is saying things like, I'm not much of a contribution to the team, etc. Ugh, he didn't get any points in the real game either, he did get on base though. Just the other people batting after him didn't hit good enough to get him to home.

I'm not sure if he is going to make it tonight to the game. He has been working late this week, and its early, 6:30. So we will see. I will probably go even if he doesn't to hang out with my peeps. I'm glad if he does go, that I have my camera this week. The younger bro had it last week when he went chasing tornadoes. (which they didn't find)

So I really hope he does good tonight and feels good about himself...

Annnyway, I got the sea doo tagged! And a battery in it! YEAH. Dad actually bought the battery, for working up at this shop on mondays. Yesss. Haven't taken it out yet, but probably will this weekend if not before. Speaking of money, we spent SO much this weekend, ughhh. Stupid!! I think we will be okay, but its going to be close. We ate out WAY too many times, and then went to the movies.

Speaking of movies, our 3rd wedding anniversary was last Wednesday. We didn't have the money to do much, but decided to go up to the Monaco and watch Terminator. But it takes an hour to get there (huntsville) and we got there RIGHT on time, and the seats were full. So we changed it to UP, which we LOVED. It was soooo funny! I had a lot of fun, and I think Lee did too. We wanted to eat somewhere too, but Lee got home kinda late to go before and it was after 10 when we got out of the movie. Oh well. The Monaco is in this new mall near us, it looks like a European city kinda, its outside and has water running through it, SO pretty. I love it. This is it: Bridge Street Town Center

Speaking of movies AGAIN, I am SO excited about The Proposal (sandra bullock) it looks HILARIOUS. Although I'm a little annoyed when I just saw it has nudity in it. What the?? Its PG-13!! Geezeee, ridiculous.

So had a pretty decent day yesterday. I got up with Lee to make his lunch and then just stayed up and cleaned the kitchen and living room. Then went back to bed for an hour, lol. I worked at dads till about 1pm or so and then stopped by walgreens and then went home. Got suited up for the heat and all sunscreened up and mowed the lawn for a few hours. Got it all done! Worked on my tan too, yeahhh. Then Lee finally got home and he grilled pork steaks for us. I made some blueberry muffins and corn and it was gooood. We watched Gran Torino while we ate. Not my fav movie so I played Sims3 while I watched, lol.

So pretty slow at work so far, kinda excited about after work. I love games, its fun to get out and about. I hope Lee can make it, I don't think he really wants to...sigh. Hes got to finish a side job, hopefully today so we can get the money from it. But his stupid boss has been working them late, so he can't get it done. It only likes about 2 hours.

So I guess thats all for now. Ta ta!

I'm Not Lost!

Just been entralled with my new Sims 3 game and not wanting to do anything else! Lol, Michelle knows what I mean! It came out last week and is about all I have been doing at work, well, besides working that is ;).

So! Had a pretty fun weekend, even though I had to work Saturday. But lets backtrack a bit to catch up.

Last few weeks have been really tight in the money area, kinda nervous about that. We had 5 weeks last month and that screwed my schedule all up. So we have quite a few things to pay for these next two weeks and I'm worried the money is going to run out. :( But God willing we will make it. Lee also has a old friend that used to go to our church, wanting him to do some remodeling on his house. So that will be some extra money, whenever he gets over there to do it.

Oh, guess what! I convinced Lee to get on the church softball team this year! He did it the first year we started it, right before we got married. He was actually on our honeymoon the first game, haha. But he didn't get to play much and didn't like it. Then, we had a lot of older guys on there who got upset if they didn't get to play so the coach coddled them, etc. Wel the next two years Lee didn't play, and so this year came around and now its a different coach, with mostly younger guys his age and lower playing. So my bro convinced him to sign up. Yeah! I like it because it gets him doing something (he always says he has no hobbies) and out socializing, and I get to be out socializing with my sis in law and we are now getting to be good friends with the sis in laws best friend from high school and her husband.

So they have games every Tues and Thurs night, which might get old pretty quick. I like practices, but game make me SO NERVOUS! Its like he is my little kid, I want him to be good and do good, and to feel good about himself. And if he does bad I feel bad cause HE feels bad, etc, lol. And they he will get upset and say stuff like, I knew I'm not good, I shouldn't have sighed up, I TOLD YOU SO, lol.

Anyway, he did quite well in their first practice last Thurs, and REALLY good this Sat at practice. They actually got asked by another softball team if they wanted to do a scrimmage game. (not a church team tho, these guys were REDNECK WHITE TRASH to the core it was hilarious. Mullets and tatoos and smoking while playing and snaggletoothed wives with 2 teeth in their heads, hahaha. NO JOKE! It was like something out of a movie)

Anyway, he got like 4 or 5 runs in! And did sooo good, I was so proud, it was a good confidence builder for him. Hes never been an athletic guy, physical, but not athletic. But he can do good if he practices. Sat morning before I left for work I threw some balls with him to help him practice, it was fun. He was laughing at the way I catch balls, saying he didn't know how I caught them, I guess he thought I was holding my mitt in a weird angle when I caught, whatever, it works for me!

Anywho, first real game is Tues night, then I believe another Thurs. I hope he does good!! They usually don't win many though, lol. Also gotta come up with 40$ for sign up and then another 12$ for a shirt...gahhh.

So about not much besides that has been going on, work, etc. I'm at work again today because the boss had family in town so she swapped me for tomarrow, so I will be off Tues instead of Mon. I guess Im working at my dads garage on Mons till about lunch time now. For free, apparently. Yeah. Lee is not happy about that. Can't say I am either, I sure could use some extra money this week. Its not looking good at all. I've been messing with my budget for about 30 mins now with little luck of stretching it at all. Need more moollaaa! Mortgage is prolly gonna be late this month. :( Lee wants me to call up and see if we can refinance and get a lower interest rate and lower our monthly payment. We heard about one couple that did and went from 6 to THREE percent and then lowered their payment a LOT. Thatd be nice...

So Sat after work we had ball practice, and then Sunday was church and then small group. Chris called the night befoe to tell us to bring our bathing suits cause they were taking the boat out the next afternoon. Yeah! So after small group we got changed and got the boat hooked up and headed out! Amanda and Ryan (the couple I talked about earlier) came with as well. They are fun. Amanda is a bit girly girl, but she does okay. (shes also gorgeous with a really nice tan and body, just love that -_- yeah, she wore a bikini)

So we drove around a bit then stopped and the boys all jumped in to swim. We layed out a bit then I jumped in, but got out pretty quick cause it was COLD still! Then we got the tube aired up and Jamie and I rode that for a bit, SO FUNNNN! Then Ryan wanted to try it, so I rode with him, then he wanted to go some more and tried to get Lee on it, but he wasn't having any of it. (he does NOT want his head under water, and thats what would happen if he fell off, lol) so Jamie jumped back in with him. My butt was so sore from the water beating it, and of course my abs too cause I was laughing so hard the whole time. It was great fun though. So after that Chris wanted to boogie board (knee board) so that meant I had to drive the boat since no one else has a license. Well that always makes me nervous, tho I try not to show it. I did okay though! Lee said I did good, lol. I've only drove it like 2 times, lol. That being my 2nd, haha. There was also a lot of trash in the water, so I had to keep dodging that, not fun. I piled 2 life jackets up under me so I could see over the windshield, haha, the seat should be made higher. Chris sits on his knee, but that is sooo uncomfy.

So after that we decided to head on in since it was getting late. Got the boat back on the trailer and Lee and I headed out to go get some dominoes while they took the boat back to mom and dads. Then we went back to chris n jamies and ate pizza and watched Bolt, again, lol, ryan and amanda had not seen it. I love it though, so I don't mind watching it! Its hysterical.

And then Lee and I headed home and that was it! We have been having a good few days together. I feel closer to him, its been getting a little shakey last week or two. I need a lot to keep me happy in my relationship with him. And he doesn't always get that, but he is doing better.

So that is long enough! I'm hoping to get some pictures from amanda from yesterday. She took a lot while we were on the tube, lol. Should be pretty funny!

Ta ta!
