Redemption!

So for those who do not know, my husband didn't do so hot for Valentine's Day this year... It's not his fault, he's a man. We went to Ft. Worth and decided since we took a trip, we wouldn't "do" Valentine's. Poor guy, he took that literally. (This is not normal for my husband... I mean, he is the one that sent me a dozen amazing roses the day of our wedding with a card that said, "I can't wait for you to be my wife.") Not that I did a lot for him for V-Day, but it was something. You know... a card, his favorite meal (from scratch) and a new blue-ray DVD. So, on Valentines Day when he went that morning to get me a card with an I-tunes gift card and some candy (that I do not like), I was surprised. I think he could tell by the look on my face that I was shocked & a little sad. Shortly after, he told me "something is in the works", and when I get it "I would forget 2/14/2010" and boy was he right!!! Friday when I got home from work, setting on our kitchen table was the purse that I have drooled over for about 1 year. COMPLETELY SHOCKED! I will never doubt him again! He was redeemed!

Saturday was a crazy mess! I had junior league, then mom and I went to Piedmont for an art sale, then to the grocery store to get ingredients for food that night and then - the trivia challenge. Now, the last challenge we took 1st place (out of about 40 teams) and this time we had those same expectations. This challenge we ended up in 6th place out of 70 teams. Not bad, but not our best. Here is the issue: the categories. For example, two of the categories were The Peanuts (comics) and The Belushi Brothers... Yeah... I did not know 1 single answer, but we are still proud!

Today we went and looked at new flooring. We can't decided on carpet or hardwood. Then, if we go with hardwood, do we want real or synthetic? If this was a house we were planning on being in for more than 5 years we wouldn't question it, but since this isn't going to be a place we stay in, we are having a hard time justifying real wood. $5.99/sq ft vs. $2.99/sq ft??? Synthetic might be it! Then, if we do pick wood, do we pick the dark wood (because it's our favorite) knowing that all of our furniture is dark and I know it will make our room look smaller? Ugh... I know, what you are thinking.... carpet, right? ;)

Here's some fun news... My husband's high school Alma Mater is in the state basketball tournament! Apparently that is BIG TIME for small towns and I think it is wonderful. We were hoping to go, since it is in the Oklahoma City area, but the games are Thursday @ 2pm and Friday @ 9am! HELLO!!! People have to work and I doubt many bosses would be OK with taking off work to attend your old high schools' basketball tournament. I wish the games started about 5pm, because we would be there with our black and red on! Keep your fingers crossed because if they make it to the "big game", it will be Saturday night and we will DEFINITELY make that one!
