we had our first overnight with out baby or dogs over the weekend after christmas. i surprised amy with tickets to the cowboys and eagles football game for christmas. had it all planned out. stay overnight at the hotel on sat and watch the game sun at noon, then head home. unfortunately it was such a big game, they changed the time to 7:30pm sunday night. luckily, auntie jean and kris offered to not only watch h but for an extra night. they even took her to school on monday morning! she had so much fun with them. she slept in a tent in aunties room, went to see a christmas light show (she calls it crazy lights), played with new toys, walked milton and supposedly didn't fuss one single time. amy and i had a nice weekend to ourselves as well. went to eat at some nice places around SMU, visited the dallas museum and was able to sleep in and lay around for a bit. the game was insane. the stadium was massive and fans were ready to win. amy had an eagles shirt on and cheered on her team. don't worry, we made it out alive. the seats were pretty crappy and up super high, but it was neat to experience my first nfl game. it was very cold outside, glad it was a closed stadium. the game ended around 10:30pm, but didn't get home til around 12:30. got up at 5:30 and drove straight back to austin and headed into work. it made for a long, long day.
news year eve was super fun. jean had a blowout party, showing off her new kitchen and deck, with the wlb's getting back together for a reunion gig. goodnight cuties even did a few songs. we all seemed a little nervous, probably because of only practicing 2 times this year. the thought of a few drinks to calm us down may have made things worse. well, for me anyway. it is amazing how nervous one can get just playing for friends in my sisters house! people praised us and said it sounded great. i would just smile and say thanks. bottom line is we ALL had fun. wlb's rock, listen to this! it was a long night, getting home around 2:30am. gran was kind enough to watch h on the eve and had fun with her making biscuits. gran, amo and mel (and the dogs) slept over too. the biscuits and gravy made things a lot better in the morning. we headed to barton springs to watch amy, john and lee jump into the cool waters. after nap it was our traditional chili new years day at john and lee's. always nice to sit around, relax and eat some good food with friends to start off the new year.
i still feel tired from the holiday. is that possible? i have fallen asleep at 8:30 the past few nights. seems like i need to step things up and get back to exercising and eating right.
2014...here we come!
