They found out that the baby is due September 10!!!

Yeah for the new mommy and daddy!

We love you.

Good Weekend

Not too much to report on really. Friday night was bowling...we did very well. Saturday we did laundry and I tried to get motivated to clean (didn't happen). That night we went to Fast Eddie's with Brian and Angie. YUMMY AND CHEAP FOOD!!! Then John and Brian went to the auto show while Angie and I did what we do best and went shopping!! Sunday, again I tried to get motivated to clean but it didn't happen. I ended up watching Legends of the Fall. GREAT MOVIE....I had never seen this one. Then we had to take J.J. to the vet. He has been sneezing and blowing snot all weekend (YUCK). The vet game him a couple of shot and gave us some medicine he has to take for the next week. So far so good!

Another one bites the dust!!

Congrats to Bryan and Amber who got engaged last night!!!

We can't wait for the big day!!

Despite the voting polls the name of our new cat is J.J. Yes, it does look as though Coach won the vote but Mike Whaley decided to stuff the ballot!!!

Lesson learned: Next time we post a poll I will set it so you can only vote once!!!!

Too bad Mike!!

HELP US NAME OUR CAT

The name with the most votes will become our cat's. Votes must be in by 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, January 25, 2006.

Your title What should we name our cat??? J.J. Louie Coach RESULTS Send this poll to a friend!

Interesting Weekend

So..... Saturday we are taking Jonesy (the cat) to the vet for his shots and whatnot. Apparently pets now get a microchip inserted in them with all of the owner's information. He had one and we found out that he owner lived in our apartments. At this point we figured that the owner had moved and left the cat behind (horrible I know, but this was us trying to be positive). Well turns out the guy still lived here and wanted his cat, Simon, back. (Jonesy was so a better name). This all happened in a matter of hours...the vet appointment was at 12:30 and the dude had his cat back by 4:30. So I had to meet the guy and give Jonesy back to him. He didn't even seem real excited. I wanted to be like..."We have had this cat for 4 months and you never even looked for him", but I held it in. It was awful and we still want him back.

Not the end of the story though, because Sunday we went to the Humane Society and got a new cat! His previous owner had named him Spooky, but we are going to change that. So we are open to suggestions... We have came up with MayDay( John can explain this one, I don't really like it) and JayJay. He spent most of the day yesterday under the bed. Then, all night playing in the living room! We will see what happens today.

Let's Try This Again!!!

Okay. Last time Vanderbilt played at Arkansas in an athletic event it was football, I was in Nashville for the weekend and I talked a lot of smack on here before I went there about how dominant Arkansas would be. Of course we got beat. Now it is basketball season and Vandy plays at Arkansas and I am headed to Nashville for the weekend. Did I learn my lesson to not proclaim Arkansas will be victoriuos by 40? Well not really. I still really want to but I have absolutely ZERO confidence in this basketball team and coaching staff. If there were 2 players on this team who kid hit a jump shot from further out than 15 feet I might pick them. But I don't even think there is one player who can do it consistenly. Therefore Vandy will pack in a zone and make us jack up a lot of stupid shots, which will allow them to win easily. Arkansas will continue its downward spiral and move to 0-3 in the SEC. If there are any qualified College basketball coaches out there reading this I hope you are working on your resume because Arkansas will be hiring this offseason if not before.

Clearance Items at Union Station

We had visitors!!!

Bryan and Amber came to see us this weekend. We had a blast. It was good to get to spend some time with them (as they live in Memphis). There are so many pictures but I am only going to post one for today. I will put more up tomorrow. We went to the brewery, arch, and Union Station! We had a great time. Now it is back to work :-(

Finally Friday

This week has flown by (good thing). Work has been crazy and will not slow down for a while I am afraid. There is nothing too exciting to post either. Sorry!

This weekend it is back to bowling. We haven't bowled in 3 weeks...seems like forever. Then some friends of our from Union are coming to visit tomorrow. We are going to take them to see St. Louis...I don't really know what we are going to do yet, but there is plenty. Then we are going to the landing (most likely) tomorrow night - maybe to the Big Bang again. Look for pictures Monday!

Hope all have a great weekend!

Welcome to 2006
