Happy Halloween Everyone!!

October...... the month of nothing boring

Ooooh...The day I have had...

Just the type of mood I am in right now....

Our little girl

28 weeks and 6 days along.
When they say you never forget the feeling of having a baby growing inside you, they weren't kidding. She's getting stronger and moves more everyday. You can see her move from the outside of my stomach now. It interesting to feel it, and then actually see it. It's the most amazing thing going on.

Kit kats and sports

I personally think watching sports is boring. Being there in the stadium or dome is different. When you are actually  there at the game, you have the atmosphere around to keep you interested. Overall though, watching sports is boring. Now hockey is the only except for my personal taste. The sport hockey is on ice and you are skating on very sharp blades, plus one wrong move you can slice yourself or someone else. The best thing about hockey, is that there are no rules to how you get the ball. If you have to slam someone into a wall, and then break into a fight to get the ball, THAT'S OK! It's fighting with sticks on ice. Brilllliant!
Now let's take baseball. I think they need to spice it up a bit. Here's one of my ideas, you have a free tagger on the field. Say you hit the ball, and you run to first base. Someone from the other team is a free tagger, and can tag you out before you hit first,second,third, and home base. Basically you need to haul ass to run, because you might not make it. My second idea is to release hounds into the field. You know dogs loves flying balls. On top of everything else that is happening, you have a dog taking the ball from you, OR running after you when you have the ball.
 Basketball isn't exciting at all.You just have a bunch of guys trying to grab the ball and pushing each other down. Not fun at all. Now, to spice things up this could get interesting. To make things more creative, have the actual basketball heated. The basketball will be heated at a high temperature,so if you hold it for too long, it will burn your hands. So no one really wants to hold the ball or it being passed to them. The other idea that would be interesting, is have the actual basket open and close continually. So, you aren't guaranteed points for shooting. 

Sigh.....September brings a window back into school

My Memphis dream came true

For I can now cross off many things on to to do list. I went to go see Graceland, which was amazing!!

The day before we set up camp in from the Graceland gates for the vigil that night. the family showed up unannounced and everyone got static that they we there. Apparently they never show to the vigil, so for them to show up and talk to everyone, was the biggest deal. The vigil was amazing, once you passed the gates you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was so respectful and EVERYONE stayed super quiet once in the gates. From the gates to the grave sight, it took two hours. Totally worth every minute though. The people around us were there for the very first vigil, so we got to get a little background of how the vigil really started. We found out the next day that 75,000 people showed up this year for the vigil. When we asked around, and found out that usually only 35,000 people usually show up. So, we definitively went on the right year.  

The day of his death, there was a concert we got VIP tickets for. The VIP section included being 5 feet away from Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley. A DREAM COME TRUE!!! The next day we went to the Lorraine hotel, where Martin Luther King Jr was shot and took his last day on earth. The whole hotel has been turned into a museum of black history. It's a pretty incredible museum. At the end of the it is the hotel room Martin Luther stay in. It hasn't changed since he has been there. Everything has been preserved just the way he left it. It's kind of eerie... but amazing at the same time.
We covered every inches of Memphis looking and discovering every where Elvis played, lived, hung out, and ate. It was a amazing trip!
