Started #82

So, I haven't been on here in over a month. My last semester being a student has started and is taking up a lot of my time.

I forgot to update about seeing a newly released movie. Jerome and I went on a double date to see Sherlock Holmes. HOLY GEEZ!! It was so good! I am partial to Jude Law and Rachel McAdams which helped. However, the way the movie was put together was fabulous. I loved the way that events were explained and how they played out. If the movie is not in your theater...make sure you rent it as soon as it's available.

Somehow, the hubby and I convinced my dad to find us tickets to the Texans game. We went today when they were playing the New England Patriots. The fourth quarter brought a win to the Texans!!!!!!

I started Project 365 yesterday, Jan 1. Since this year promises lots of changes, I think it would be great to take a picture every day to remember what happened. Here is what I have so far

We went to the Rees family Christmas party on Dec 19. It was so good to see all of my cousins and catch up. I am 1 of 20 grandchildren. There are 5 children in my mom's generation and now 7+ (one cousin is pregnant) great grandkids for my grandparents. There are over 50 people there. Here are a few pictures.

On December 30, I beat my hubby in a tickle war!!!!  This is a big deal because I am very ticklish and not as physically strong as him. I found that the key is to attack right after he rolls over to fall asleep. His back is too me and he isn't expecting anything. If I get him in the right spot, he can't recover. To ensure I would win, I sat on top of him and pinned his arms down with my knees. bahahaha. I know it sounds weird but it was fun, funny, and exciting to me. I loved it! Thankfully, he saw the fun in it and conceded. And I did it without him giving up so that I could win. I genuinely won. =)

So, I had my first Black Friday experience this year. Walmart is not the ideal place to have your first experience (fyi). However, it was a complete success to me! I was able to get my second choice in TV!!! I bought us a Sony Bravia LCD HDTV --- 40"!!!!!!!!! Holy cow, I was so excited! We convinced my in-laws & hubby's grandma to put our birthday & Christmas present money towards our TV. This allowed us to get what we wanted at a cheaper price and with the help of others. Now, we will always think of them when we watch sports in the prettiest & clearest picture that we have ever enjoyed. I know it sounds like I am being dramatic but it is awesome! We even found out that we were paying for some HD channels in our cable package already. Luckily, it is the basic channels and the sports channels.

I finally got to take pictures in a photo booth with my hubby. Actually, it was my first time take pictures in a photo booth ever.

Tonight, our church held an event to say thank you to all of the volunteers. They had a photo booth for everyone to take pictures. So, of course we had to to it. I will put up our pictures as soon as I can scan it onto the computer!

#89 is done!!

I watched Army Wives seasons 1 & 2 in a week. haha. It was so good though.

The hubby and I went to visit my parents and brother (who attends Baylor). On the way back, I got bored so I started watching season 1 on my computer. It was so addicting that I finished that season and moved right into season 2 a couple of days later. I love watching tv shows with no commercials or weeks to wait in between episodes. You can find out what happened immediately instead of going through a suspenseful week.

Now, I'm waiting for season 3 to be bought by a friend so I can borrow it and watch it. But, that season just ended so I don't think it will come out for awhile. Boo!!
