Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Sunday we headed up to spend the day with my Dad for his birthday. Took a yummy cookie cake and my sister got some outside flowers and fruit trees for his place. Had a great time visiting with everyone!

Rough Day

Saturday, I was off to volunteer again. My first rider was getting over being sick, but so was still her friendly self. My second rider was not having a good day and resulted in her lesson ending early. My third rider was having a great day, but the horse is so tall that it has fast movements which wears me out! I was sweating in the middle of the lesson. Taking a break from volunteering for the next three weeks due to some plans we have in place.

Evergreen Week

This week was Evergreen Week at work! Our department had several nice treats throughout the week ranging from breakfast, lunch, snacks and fun afternoon activities!

Under the Weather

Last week I was dealing with a sick husband. Luckily it was not the swine flu. Doctor gave him some shots and medicine to take to help him get better. My husband did try to tell me that the doctor told him to rest and to watch lots of football! By the end of this week we are only dealing with the nagging cough.

UT vs UCLA

At the Game


After the Game

My husband traveled back to Tennessee for the UCLA game. This time Elisabeth was going to be attending the game. I think I watched the last five minutes on TV. In the end, UT ended up losing the game. I believe Michael and Elisabeth headed to the bar anyways! I guess it's too early to mention that maybe we should of purchased some tickets to the Auburn football games.

First Day of Class

Saturday was the first day of class in the Fall Session. As soon as I arrived, I got to groom one of the horses. In the first class, I worked with the same little girl from the summer session. In the second class, I was partnered with a new young girl. Finally, the last class I was partnered with a little boy who was riding one of the taller horses. That meant faster steps for me!

It's Time

My husband purchased University of Tennessee season tickets from one of our friends. This weekend was UT's first game of the season against Western Kentucky. This was my first time to attend a UT football game where Auburn University was not their opponent. Prior to the game we met up with Elisabeth in the Market Square Village and she walked with us some of the way to the stadium. Our seats were really convenient and easy to get in and out when needed. It was neat to see UT's football players run through the "T" formed by the band and hear the fireworks go off whenever they scored. However, it seemed very weird to be at a college football game and not hear Eye of the Tiger or to be able sing along with the band and fans. During halftime we got to meet up with our friends James and Piper. By the end of the game the Volunteers beat the Hilltoppers 63-7.

School Is Over

Yeah!!! My husband finished his last class on the 31st for his B.S. in Finance. I am so proud of his accomplishment of this goal. Our plans are still up in the air about participating in the graduation ceremony, which is in Phoenix, due to all the other plans we already have in place. But, I still think we should celebrate in Vegas :-)

I love my husband

He figured out how to setup my cell phone for facebook, twitter, myspace, and blogger which is how i'm typing this right now.

New Phone

I finally got a new phone!!! My sweet husband went and picked up my new pink Sanyo-2700. I am so excited to be able to check email and social sites during the day. Got a few of my favorite ring tones added. Now, I just need to finish figuring out how to use all the cool features :-)
