Fight Raiders FIGHT!


Yes, I know it's a little early for football season, but it's Five Question Friday over at Mama M's and the first question is "What were your school colors?" So, of course that got me all excited about the upcoming football season - only a few short weeks away! - and I just read Courtney's blog and she's excited for A&M football (boo Aggies) so my title really isn't all that random at all! HA! 
Anyway, on to the questions!

1. What were your school colors?
Red and Black
Texas Tech Pictures, Images and Photos

High school was Red, White and Black too!

2. What's the best compliment you ever received?
"You're a good mommy!"
or
"Jack is just the happiest baby!"
The last statement rang true until his birthday on Monday - now his smiley, happy personality is woven with meltdowns and fits, but that's ok because he is
the.most.precious.little.boy.God.ever.did.make

and I LOVE him to pieces!

3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?
Oh, who knows? 
I think I try to buy the cheaper toilet paper, which in my opinion is still really expensive and I have yet to buy TP and remember which brands I like and which I don't.  (We take it all out of the package to put it in the cabinet for storage - easier access this way!)

4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?
Ummm, I don't think so.
But my thirtieth birthday is just around the corner - hint, hint!  ;)

5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"?
{For this I'm going to assume the necessities (house, car, clothing) are not material possessions.}
Cell Phone, duh!
 I feel so "naked" if I don't have my phone with me.  And, I always forget it when I "need" it the most.
Ok all done with that!  Now on to other important happenings like...

Our new patio cover! 

It's almost finished and it is going to be SOOOO NICE!  We have wanted this for a LONG time - the concrete was poured last summer right after we had Jack - and it's finally happening!  We love to sit outside and grill and whatnot, but with the Texas sun beating down on us in the summer, the heat is just unbearable! 


Look how pretty it is underneath!!  And, ohmygoodness the cedar smells SOO good!  Randy will put up lights and fans after the guys get finished building.  We ran all of the electrical stuff and cable out there last night.  I swear there is not much Randy can't do!


In less than 7 weeks, we'll be BEACH BOUND! 
And I cannot wait! 
I NEED a VACATION!!!

Your patio looks awesome! I need a vacation too but were not going any where until early December, but it's ok cause were going to Disney! I had problems with Bloggers spacing last night. I had to keep going back and fixing everything.
