August-September

Wow! It has been awhile, looking back it seems a lot has happened since I have written! Where to start. I guess to begin with, at the end of August I turned 22. After turning the big 21 last year, turning 22 seemed like nothing special. As James said "it's just another year closer to dieing." All in all, the day was not too bad. My co-works surprised me with a cheese cake and a gift, and once getting off, I was treated to a nice dinner at Texas Road House by none other then James Crawford. The only down fall of the whole day was Texas Road House was out of mango mix for it's margaritas, which by my book is a crime. The best gift I got this year was from my sister. She was very creative and got me 22 different things. The items I received from her were items that reminded me of our past together, the present, and the future. Some of the items included playdo, a lunch box, and Kleenexes (to use at her wedding). Below are pictures of all the gifts I received. I also was giving a total of $200, which I am saving to use on new bedroom furniture. The 22 things Amanda got me
The gift I received from my Co-Worker! My gifts from James! He actually wrapped them this time! I am use to just a HEB Bag.

About two weeks ago, my mother, sister, James, and I spent a whole day at a lovely place called Scott & White. We all decided the name should be changed to Set & Wait. I will not boar you with all the details, so I'll make a long story short. My sister (Amanda) went in Thursday night at 9pm with the symptoms of a bad appendix; however, she did not get into an emergency patient room until 2am. After some test they decided it was in fact her appendix and scheduled surgery for 8am. When finding this out, my mom and I decided I would take the day off from work so that I could sit with Amanda and sleep, since I did not get any sleep, and my mom could go to work. Well as you guess, Amanda did not have surgery at 8am, nor at all that morning. We had to wait until 4pm that afternoon! James was kind enough to bring my mom and I food around 1:30. He was also kind enough to set with me the rest of the day, and drive me a couple of places so I could do a couple of things for my mom and sister! I could not ask for a sweeter boyfriend!

Now for more recent events. Last weekend James and I went to not one, but two football games! On Friday night, we went to Temple High Schools game. I had not been to a Temple high game since I graduated high school. It was actual nice going to a Temple game, and having the team win, and actually know what was going on. In high school, when I did go to games it was to socialize. I had no clue what was going on. I was kind of force to learn about football when I started dating a football player. On Saturday night, James and I, along with Amanda and Jon went to the UMHB game. It was a blast. I enjoyed the time we shared and enjoyed a very fattening, but good snow cone. It was a great game, but intense. I don't think I could have done another live football game on Sunday if I had to. I did not get any pictures, but below are some oldies!
