THE CHAMP IS HERE!!

Ok, so a while back Katie and I had started this Tetris challenge. Well actually it was more about me trying to see if I could become a better Tetris player than Katie. Years have proved that she was much better than me. So I saw that on our DS Tetris she had scored 350,000 points and had actually beat Tetris. So I deceided to beat her. On my first couple of attempts I was able to beat the game but I couldn't beat her score. So I decided to turn on ENDLESS Tetris and see if I could do it that way. I DID! First time out. 750,500 points, I was declared the new CHAmP! I mean for me it was a great victory. So I took advantage of the days that I had as Champ because I knew well Katie would soon beat it. and.... boy did she ever she got 1,105,000 points. I was defeated. A MILLION POINTS!!! NO WAY!!!! I gave up trying to beat it. I tried like 30 times and no results. Until 3 days ago when this happened!!!!

5 months, what?

Ok, so we are already half way through! Ummm, one question where did the last 5 months go. I noticed I hadn't posted since December, and now its APRIL!!! I could be wrong but maybe I am just trying to let these days slip by so that August will get here sooner. I am still in shock that I am going to be a dad, but even more so that I will have a son. My thought's are on him constantly. I think about him probably every minute of every day. I know that most people in my family wanted a girl, but I really wanted a son. I see how much fun Marcus, Issaac, and Weaver are and I just thought man wouldn't that be great and it's going to be! I feel like God has really gave Katie and I something so amazing and so wonderful that there are times in prayer I find it hard to express my thanks. I mean it's nowhere close to giving us his son, but it is the most powerful gift I have recieved other than that and Katie bar none. I am just so pumped about this whole experience good or bad, happy or sad. I am ready to be a father, what ever kind of father that may be. I told God when I prayed for a child that if he would give us that gift than I would devote my child's life to him. I plan to do that. What's cool is that I know God will help him make a better Christian out of me. I bet he teaches me more about God than I could ever teach him. Anyways, I am just so excited and ready for this major transition. God is AWESOME!!!!!!!

OLD MCBROOM

Star Gazing

Over the past months, Katie and I have been able to watch and meet some awesome entertainers. We saw Yakov in Branson, AWESOME very funny! Diana Degarmo in Brooklyn, She should have won American Idol! Finally last night we saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Norbert Leo Butz, the 2005 Tony Award Winner for best Actor, Norbert Leo Butz reprise the role for which he won. He was with out a doubt the best performer I have EVER seen live. I MEAN THE BEST! He was on last night. The great thing about these shows were that we actually got to meet and get autographs from these AMAZING entertainers! It has been a blast!

Lindsey Blogger Flash Back - Christmas is finally over!

Today was the first day that I looked in the corner of my living room, only to find dust, cables, and a ripped out socket. My Christmas tree hid that mess so well. I became the tacky Christmas tree owner, I did not take it down till last night. It almost became a part of my living room furniture. Oh how I love Christmas Tree. It will be another 11 months until I'm able to bring him out of his box and decorate him with such pretty ornaments and ribbons. As I'm mourning over the departure of my friend I could only think of fond Christmas memories. Every year my friend Katie and I, drive around together to look at the Christmas lights. We like to take pictures with the tackiest Christmas lights we can find. The picture above, won our award for the Ugliest Christmas Lights of 2004. If anyone is in the Fort Worth area at Christmas time next year, you have to visit this place in person. It was UNBELIEVABLE!! If you look closely, you will notice a border around the yard made with a white shelf. Well along that white shelf were those little Christmas Villages that you see in the living room of your grandmother's house with the fake snow sprinkled all over it. There had to have been fifty little Christmas Villages along the yard. Also to our right was a whole train set sitting on his yard with a glass covering. Then to our left was about 12 Christmas trees bordering the edge of the yard. I hadn't ever seen anything like it before in my life. Oh how I love Christmas. It's so long away.
I will miss Christmas Tree.

Ryan Got It and now the rest of the story...

Ok, I was on Ebay and I was just looking around so I decided to see what Cowboy tickets were doing. We'll the first 2 I bought I got for 9.38 plus 9 for shipping. Then I noticed another pair ending in 1 min at .99 cents and I bid and WON! That's right 2 for a dollar! All four tickets are worth over 150.00 dollars, I paid less than 30. Sometimes Ebay can be the most amazing place to shop ever. I mean where else can you get two cowboy tickets for a buck. I mean come on! AMAZING!

I am still at 219 so that is good. I still haven't been eating lie I should, but hey I am losing weight and gaining muscle, I am not complaining! YAHOO!
