Weekend.....

So this weekend was jammed pack with activites considering it is Super Bulldog Weekend. Basically Super Bulldog Weekend is a sports filled weekend. MSU has scrimage football games, baseball games, softball games, soccer games...catch the drift. No basketball though. Also their is a annual pig cooking contest.

That is the winner pig there from this year.

Anyways back to my story...Tyler's best friend Tom came into town this weekend for it and he was staying at our house.

Friday night we went to the baseball game. Which we won in the bottom of the 9th with some stolen bases and a wild pitch. I did get to see my brother Scooter I think it has been months since I have seen him. I miss him dearly! And Tom was going out and well we a like granparents and do not go out much so we went to get gas. And then Tyler suggested we go to the grocery store.

Saturday Tyler had to work. So I went to the parents house and rode with them to the football game (which MSU won) and to the baseball game. So my mom won the "most comfortable seats in the house"! You get to sit in the press box on a leather couch in the air conditioning. Also you get beverages and snacks. So my mom asked me, my aunt Vickie and uncle Mark to join us. He took our pictures so wait on those. We enjoyed watching the game from there.

Later that night a friend of ours was having a crawfish boil so we went out there to join in. It was fun but I think I am getting "too old" for that scene. I enjoy being in bed by 10 every night. We did not get home till 2 the next morning! I got tired about 10 but did not want to go home cause I was having fun with my friends. Thanks Brittney for all the good conversations!

Sunday one of my dearest friends from college had a bridal tea. It was fun to be with some old friends I have no seen in awhile. We took plenty of pictures I will post once I get them.

I enjoy busy weekends!

Hair cut!

So I have a appointment to get this horrible, long mane of mine CHOPPED OFF! Right now the hair is in the middle of my back and I hate it so much. A few weeks ago I even trimmed my own hair I hated it so bad. I cut layers in it and cut on the bottom. Pathetic I know.





Also Im so tired of this hair color I want something darker.





Here comes the picture that brought all these changes in my head...Not the blonde but Kelly Clarkson.

So I am going to post a new picture of me and my new do when I get it done friday. Lets hope I like it. The last time I got this antsy about my hair it turned out maroon.

Random Thoughts

So to me Easter weekend always brings spring. I have enjoyed looking at the pretty flowers blooming (which reminds me I need to plant some flowers this year), trees budding, baseball and the days getting longer.

I am so excited for this Sunday I get to see all the little girls with their white shoes, bonnets and pastel colors on at church. But also it reminds me of what my Savior did for me. While this is a wonderful time one can not think about how our Savior was put up on that cross for all our sins and how he carried our burden for us. Easter is not about bunny rabbits, egg hunts, or candy it is about unconditional love for us and the blood he shed for all of us.

Change the subject....

hope everyone puts on their maroon and white tonight to cheer on our basketball team when we play Oregon.

Also we have a baseball series against South Carolina. Our baseball team has started out very rocky. I am hoping that our big upset over UAB this week will help us take atleast 2 out of the games this weekend.

Just a tidbit of info some of you may had not thought of....MSU has gone to College World Series, a Bowl game, and to NCAA Tourney. That is something to be proud of.

Vacations planned!

So Tyler and I have alot of things planned for this summer. This will be my first summer since I was 16 that I am not working so I am going to try to enjoy it as much as I can.

April 19-21 we are going to Orange Beach with Allison and Sam. I am very excited about this trip we are staying in Sam's grandparents condo right on the beach. I am going to spend as much time on the beach as possible and let the guys go do whatever they want. I figure Sam does not really care much about laying out like Allison and I do.

May 19-28 we are hitting up San Diego and LA. We fly into San Diego visit the city and catch a Padres vs. Cardinals game, go to the zoo lots of other fun places. And then we will drive to LA catch a Dodgers vs. Cardinals game, and I am not really sure what else we are planning on doing there. I am excited about this trip as we will knock out 2 of our baseball stadiums out. But also very nervous just in general about this trip. Which reminds me I need to check in on changing my passport name we might go to Mexico while there.

I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I want to make sure to get alot of them done before kids come along. I am sure all the vacations and little getaways we are taking now will not be as elaborate or extreme.

Day One: The Beginning

So after reading lots and lots of blogs I decided I should join the community. I have always wanted to blog about what goes on in my daily life but never really thought much more about it. I figured I would blog about our first year together and all the adventures we will face.

So strap on your seat belts cause this is going to be a exciting ride!

Right now I am sitting at my tax office with my door open enjoying the good smells of outside. It is amazing how a smell can take you back to your childhood. Right now I smell fresh grass being cut. This reminds me of me playing in my backyard while my dad cut the grass. Those were the carefree days of my youth. Also it takes me back to my high school. I remember sitting in the English my senior year and I could not concentrate on what was going on because the smell just stayed in the air and I would begin to daydream. Daydream about my future, my husband, what I wanted to be, everything imaginable. It was a exciting a scary time for me. I had no idea where God was leading me or what he wanted me to do with my life.

As the college days passed by me and I enjoyed them still that smell stayed with me. I remember walking to class across the drill field and them cutting grass. I remember sitting at Tyler's house and him just getting finished cutting the grass and realizing this may be my future. That was a scary and exciting time for me. He was everything I always said I never wanted but everything I needed. Even the day he proposed to me I had that smell we were in Hawaii and the hotel we were at was cutting there grass. What a glorious day that was.

No matter where I go in my life or what paths and journeys I take I know that I will always have that smell to remind me where I belong.
