Football

For anyone who knows me, or has known me, you know that I love football. And if you REALLY know me, you know I love the Dallas Cowboys. I have loved them since I was a small child sitting on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon watching TV with Daddy. I don’t just watch the game. Like my dad, I have been known to yell at the TV, jump up and yell, scream, get excited, and I have even been known to break a chair.

Well, Saturday evening I had the opportunity to watch the Dallas Cowboys take on the Houston Texans in a preseason battle for the Governor’s Cup. My husband and I along with his brother and sister-in-law, drove up to Houston and took in the game at Reliant Stadium. We had seats way up in the nose bleed section. Section 616, Row E, Seats 1, 2, 3, & 4.

Unfortunately the Cowboys had a bad night. They weren’t synced and had a terrible game. They lost to the Texans 23-7.

Hopefully, their season will begin on a better note next week.

Here’s to the 2010 NFL season. Hope it’s a good one.

Internet

We finally have RELIABLE internet!

We got fed up with Clearwire. It worked fine for the first year and then they decided to change their bandwidth and the service was spotty at best. The several times we have called to complain they said that we are 1 mile outside of their access area and there was nothing they could do. We told them we would have to find another provider but they didn’t want us to do that.

I just couldn’t see continuing to pay $32 a month for internet service when we only have it for maybe a week or two out of that month.

Today we had GTek come out and put up a dish/antenna on our roof for their internet service. It was $150 for the installation and will be $45 a month but it will be well worth it to have internet now whenever we need it and want it.

I am completely hooked on it. I love to go to my digital scrapbook sites, photography sites, email, Facebook, etc. There’s always something to see and do. How nice it is to be able to do it now!

Baptism

On Sabbath, June 19, Thomas was baptized along with his cousins, Ashley and Kayla. It was wonderful to see my son take this step in taking a stand on what he believes and acknowledging what Christ has done for him through His death and resurrection.

My hope is that he will never forget that with Christ all things are possible and that salvation only comes through Him.

Baby’s

Yesterday was all about babies. We had a baby dedication at church for one of our newest in the church family. Little Hadassah was a little on the fussy side but is still so sweet and who could help but love her just because she is a gift to us from God.

In the afternoon we stopped by to see my grand-nephew, James, who was entertaining my sister and niece since his parents both had to work. He is such a cutie. I was taking pictures of him and as soon as he saw the camera it was like he would stop and pose for me. I got lots of smiles and lots of kisses. What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

God has certainly blessed us with wonderful children. May we always show them love and encouragement and just how special they are. And may we never take for granted the blessings God has given to us.
