Diamond Backs Game

Brant and I were able to go up to mesa for the weekend and go watch a Diamond Backs game. I had to pull a few late-nighters and get all of my homework done and caught up so I wouldn't have to worry about it this weekend. After a tough first week of school it was already nice to have a break. Haha!

We loaded up the car and headed out yesterday morning. The game wasn't until later that night so we went to the beauty supply stores, and checked into our hotel at the Hilton. It was so nice just to have a slow-paced day with no worries about school and deadlines, and just being able to hang out with my love.

We just had be make out to Chase Stadium a whole two hours before the game even started! Haha...I just laughed at how cute my husband is. With his baseball glove on waiting for the fly-balls during batting practice. Brant used to have season tickets to the Padres when he lived in San Diego. It was a lot of fun to see him in his element running and jumping the bleachers having so much fun trying to catch the fly-balls. We aren't really into the D-Backs all that much but it was fun to get out and go do something together.

Here is Brant waiting for the next fly-ball to come his way

This was the game that Luis Gonzalez retired his number. It kind of cool to watch and we even got free t-shirts! Apparently it was a pretty big deal I guess...I don't really know. Haha...

Just waiting for the game to start
I'm not really all that into baseball but I just thought that it was so cool that this was on television and I was there! Haha. I'm a nerd...I already know! :) We did so much walking around and of course we had to try all kinds of food and snacks. I was exhausted by the time the game was over. Diamond Backs won 9-0 against the Houston Astros.

Billy and Brant

Us after the game, we were so tired!
After the game we headed back to the hotel and put our swimsuits on and headed down the the hot tub! It was still a 100 degrees outside so we didn't sit in there long, but it sure did feel good on my sore aching muscles from the day. I jumped in the pool to cool off and then it started to fill up so we left for some alone time.

Today we went to the mall then went out to eat at Red Lobster...(Brant's favorite) before we headed home. It was such a fun weekend. I love the times that Brant and I can spend together without worries of school and everything else going on in our lives. We are always the happiest when it is just the two of us. Making me especially appreciate those times that hardly ever come anymore.

Birthday Boy

Today is Brant's birthday!! We decided to celebrate yesterday since I have class most of today and tonight. Yesterday we just got to hang out and spend some time together. Last night we went out to dinner to celebrate and then we went over to my Mom's house to eat some cake. Poor kid, I must have worn him out yesterday because he fell asleep at his own party. Haha! It was fun just being able to just be together and go on a little date. Happy Birthday Babe!

Summer Is Officially Over...

Well my wonderful three weeks of summer has come to an end. Today was the first day of school. I am not sure if I am ready for the long nights, early mornings, and massive amounts of studying again. But I guess I better get used to it....this is only the beginning. This will be the story of my life for a few more years. This semester I am taking Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, CNA, and Algebra. It doesn't sound like too much because I only have four classes, but it adds up to a whole 20 credits. Hopefully I am not getting in over my head! It will all be so worth it though, I can't wait!!

Today Was The Day!!

Today was definitely a GOOD DAY!! We were finally able to get water hooked up out on the land where we keep our horses. Normally, Brant has to load up some jugs or barrels and we would have to haul water out there everyday. It is not fun at all. I worried all the time that something was going to happen, like smash out the back window to the truck! We have gone through four back windows in our truck in the last year and a half that we have owned it so far, and Yes, the barrels do get tied down. It's pathetic! And expensive to replace I might add.

Here is my love working away!

Brant's dad Billy and grandpa Floyd came out to help him dig trenches and lay down the pipes. Me and Jo Ellen (his grandma) just got to hang out all day and gossip. Thanks everybody for all the help! I am so excited! Never again will I have to haul water. Now all I have to do is just turn on the facet!

Surprise!!

Yesterday I was just hanging out and I realized that I hadn't seen Brant in a while. I started looking around the house and couldn't find him. I walked outside and to my surprise, this is what I found....

I was so dang excited to see my Hubby hard at work. It made my whole day!! :) Especially since I didn't even have to ask him to wash the truck! I know this is totally the lamest thing ever, but when it will make your wife happy....what can I say?

Come to find out...for one reason or another there was a whole mayonnaise container out in the middle of the road next to our truck. Someone had ran it over and it seriously exploded all over the truck! So my loving husband cleaned it all off in the 100 degree weather just so I wouldn't have to deal with it....what a Great guy! I love good surprises!!...who doesn't!?

I Finally Made It!

Well I did it! I am proud to say that all that studying and hard work paid off. I have absolutely no idea how I made it through, but some how I did. School is over and I am so excited for these next few weeks of summer I have left, before I'm back at it again.

I passed all of my classes, even chemistry online!! I cant believe I managed to get a B in that one. I got straight A's in the rest. I am so proud of myself, I worked hard for it!! :)
