Adding to #95 & #98

#95
This year my parents renewed their season tickets to the Astros. Jerome and I have been to three games so far, which I think counts to my goal of going to 1 Astros game a season. =) Here are some pictures from our trips to Minute Maid Park.

#98

I have always been curious about soccer. Now with the World Cup going on in South Africa, I have been watching every match I can. Unfortunately, that means I have to wake up early in the mornings due to the time difference. I have learned more about soccer watching the games. If I have a question that doesn't get explained from the commentators, I google my question. It's helped me focus on finding out what I want to know and what I don't hear from the telecast. Of course, I have watched both USA games so far as well as England's match vs. Algeria. I know how the group play works now and how the USA can advance...we're so close!!! And of course, I was so pissed at this stupid man. He ruined our win...and took it away for a dumb reason.

The hubby and I went to visit his parents over Easter weekend. We ended up doing a lot of homework while they helped my brother- & sister-in-law work on their new house. However, it was nice to see them for a holiday. This was going to be our last Easter with his side of the family. We have been celebrating Easter with his family for the last 5 years, since our freshman year of college. Since schools don't get that holiday off, it was hard to go visit my family for that holiday.

That's been really hard for me. My family doesn't really have a whole lot of holiday traditions, except for Easter, New Year's Eve, and the Rees Christmas Party in California . My family, my dad's brother & his family, and then my aunt's family (married to my dad's brother). All of these people go to my parents ranch in Fayetteville, Texas. Easter and New Year's Eve are the only times we all get together. My aunt's parents are like my grandparents. I have hated not being there for Easter for the past 5 years. I never realize how homesick I am until Easter rolls around. I am wanting to cry right now just thinking about it. Once we move to Houston, we will get to spend every Easter with my family at the ranch. It will be too hard to travel for Easter with my job as a teacher, the hubby being a student for 3 years, and after that kids. With no days off for the holiday, it will be too hard to travel to Oklahoma for a holiday that gets no days off. Sad for the hubby but I cannot wait to finally spend one family holiday with my side of the family.

Here is a picture from our Easter this year. This was also my picture for Project 365 for that day.
