Football Weekend

Last weekend was our first home football game here in Denton and although it was a lot of prep and hard work (13 hours on Saturday, yucky) it was still very fun and I learned a lot about what goes into putting on events of this magnitude a little more indepth. Too bad we lost...but I had a great time coordinating our Friday Night @ Clark Park pep rally event on Friday and setting up tailgating and performing game operations on Saturday.

Babysitting adventures

I had the pleasure of hanging out with my boss, Paul's kids and the Deputy Athletic Directors kids while the 2 couples went to a Sheryl Crow concert in Dallas a few weeks ago. We rode scooters, went to the community pool, ate pizza, played 'let's shoot Sara with Nerf guns' and watched a movie before the boys had to hit the sack for the night. All in all it was a good time and now I like seeing them and hearing about their school, soccer and football adventures. Kind of like havin' my cousins and all the other kids I know at home around :)

From the left: Kaylen, Lane (they're brothers), and Dan after they terrorized me enough to get off my floaty and give it to them. (20 cannon balls did the trick)
Being goofy
Joe (Dan's little bro) and Lane thought they were really good at hiding
Kaylen just chillin (this is what I attempted to do before the cannon ball business)
From the left: Joe, Dan and Lane playing in the kiddie pool with the fountain...pretty sure they broke the fountain but shhhhh, we won't tell :)

Checkin' In

Hello, I've been pretty busy with work and such lately. Football starts this weekend, along with volleyball which I am in charge of. I'll be at a volleyball tournament all weekend (YAY lol) but the up side, Alex is going to be here for the weekend so that will be nice. I'll put some pics up soon!

At the lake

We had a day off on Saturday so a couple people from work took out one of our co-workers jetskis. The lake was pretty cool, we got a prime spot on the shore and soaked up some awesome rays in the 94 degree weather (aka perfect). We're probably going to go out this weekend too :)

On the phone with our boys :)

Football 101 and Kick-off Cookout

Last week was very busy (technically 2 weeks ago). Thursday was Football 101 where women are invited to a dinner, drink and fun night to learn more about football and ask any questions they might have. It was really fun to help plan and set up. Saturday was the annual Kick-off Cookout for North Texas Athletics and a lot of my blood, sweat and tears...well maybe not tears but lots of sweat for sure was put into making everything happen. It took all week preparing everything but Friday and Saturday (Aug 1 and 2) we put up tables, 300 some chairs and I even got to drive the 2008 Lexus IS250 that the athletic department is raffling off. All-in-all the event turned out to be a big hit, even through the 106 degree heat. After it was over the employees went out for a little R&R. Ladies havin a good ol time at Football 101

Mariners come to Texas

My friend Jessica, who I work with, and I decided to catch a baseball game. Well the truth is I wanted to watch the Mariners and I asked her to tag along so I didn't go alone. We got some awesome tickets from a friend that were right behind the Mariner dugout, 14 rows up. They were great and we had a lot of fun. It was Jess's first Rangers game and she's lived here 4 years!

I'm wearing my Rangers shirt because I couldn't find my Mariners shirt...I think it might be in Washington
Josh Hamilton (Rangers) is amazing
Willie and Jeremy...2 of my fav Mariners
This is for my sister,Emily, who texted me and told me to take a picture of Ichiro's butt...here it is Em ;)
You know what's under a pony's tail, don't ya?!

Red Hot Summer

It has been so hot here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for the past week or so. It has been over a 100 for days and days and it's starting to wear on people. This morning the Today Show reported about it, so that means it is hot :) Hopefully it cools down again soon so it's at least comfortable to be outside.
