Take a Minute to Think.

So Im on Pinterest this morning and I come across this saying:

and I was kinda taken back.. I'm not one to read things and sit and ponder on them a while, however this caught me off guard.. So often I catch myself saying well if I did this or changed this than maybe I could afford that.. Now, let me start out by saying I had a very fortunate childhood, where pretty much everything I wanted I got.. I wore the name brand clothes, shoes, carried the expensive purses etc..my mom went out of her way to make sure I had it all.. (and still does)  and then came to where I was no longer under mama and daddy's roof.. Money went scarce for a while lol.. and I can often remember times when I blurted out.. Lord if i was just rich, or could marry a rich man I would be set.. (of course I was being sarcastic).. but still the idea was nice.. and as I got older (I'm 30 now :( yikes) I have come to realize that money is so not important.. Yes you need it to survive, but don't need it to be happy.. Being a kid one of your initial questions seeing your parents after a trip to town is "what did you get me" or "if i go can i get something"...Now, not so much, I often feel broke more than feel like I have money, yet I am surrounded by an amazing family, and a handful of best friends.. When most people are down and feel the need to go "shop" and buy things to make them feel better, a simple conversation with my mama, or my best friend makes me feel complete.  Money as I learned cannot buy happiness, it can buy things that make you smile, but soon enough you will get bored with those things as well.. Having a family and close friends that when you see them you light up, and embrace them with a hug.. and catch up over dinner.. or reminisce about good times.. Now that is priceless.. and something even money cant buy.

Next came this quote:

After that, NO EXPLANATION IS NEEDED.

FoOtBaLL... Nuff said!!!

  

Okay.. SO for those that know me, know I love sports.. (not so much tennis, or golf, or those non contact sports) But Football, Basketball, and Baseball are my FAV's..and.. pre-season has already kicked off.. and I couldnt be more excited !! A lil funny this morning.. as Im driving back from Nac headed to work, I come up along a septic truck.. Now keep in mind..I am a OKLAHOMA SOONER FAN..

Yep you guess it.. my next text to several of my"texas" play mates was " Talk about a SHIT team" lol.. Oh i am still laughing.. Okay moving on.. I love football, I love the weather, the excitement, the fun, the whole shabang!! Now I am NOT a fan of just ONE particular team, I have my favorites on all teams.. and I dislike more players than I like.. But still love the thrill of it all.. Im in the process of creating my Fantasy football team, and im super excited!!Im also excited about all of the get togethers in the future.. and all the yummie snacks I can create..

Now if the cool weather could just come on.. Nothing beats curling up on the couch in a hoodie watching some football!!! I am also excited about my new Wreath that is currently in the process of being made.. (again compliments of pinterest)

And just to throw this in there.. I have to post, cause one not only is this baby wearing the cutest outfit from Rugged Butts, but its also sporting my all time Favorite Lucky Number 11 :) Future Purchase as well!!

Last but not least .. This Saturday I will be sitting at this exact spot below:::::

watching the Rams/ Dallas Cowboys.  I am Not a fan of the Cowboys at all.. However, again I have my few key players I like.. and one of them IS NOT ROMO!!! So again I will be there to support my previous OU quarterback Mr. SAM BRADFORD!!!  Ill be sure and post lost of pictures after that...

I leave tomorrow to take the lil bro to the beach so Ill be away from computer, but will update as soon as possible... (megan)... :)

Ranger Game

TEXAS RANGERS... LOVE THEM!!!

With that being said, my dad sent me a text message saying he was goign to carry my little brother to the game and asked if I wanted to go.. hmmmmm let me think about that.. DUH!! For starters.. Who wouldnt want to watch/stare/drool at these two fellas:

I know that I dont mind..AT ALL...So Saturday I got to Dads around 1:00 and headed off to the ballgame.. And for those that know Dallas, knows what it entails... Yep you guessed it.. what would Dallas be without..

TRAFFIC.... and I hatttttteeeee TRAFFIC!!! I am one with somewhat borderline patience with most things.. yet Traffic I have NONE!!! and whats worse is I gripe and complain about it, and then I was in a vehicle with my dad and my 8 yr old brother who were also just as impatient as me :) so NOT a good combination..I am also a "passenger driver" and was constantly saying Dad your too close to wall, or dad get over or dad this.. So next time Ill drive.. Well once we got through the traffice we arrived at the ballpark around 2:30 (the gates opened at 5)  so we went to eat at On the Border, to grab some appetizers and hang out a bit before the game...

We should have stayed in there a tad longer.... cause once we got to the ballpark.. it was a heck of a walk to the stadium..

and Cade was looking like he was about to passssss smooth out.. SERIOUSLY.. like Heat Stroke.. His poor face went pink!!! and he kept saying his stomach hurt, and was sweating like crazy.. so I went to pouring water on him, his head, etc trying to cool him off.. Once I got him cooled off I tried to make him sit in the shade, and that was borderline impossible as one.. there was hardly any shade.. and two hes 8.. they dont sit still..  a guy walked buy selling programs/anniversary yearbook.. and so 20.00 later.. He was sitting still in the shade reading..

Once cooled off, and finally in the stadium entrance, he started getting a normal color :) with soaking wet hair, and a bandanna Thanks to Dad saturated in water..  He was so excited to have gotten a Banner to hold..you would have thought that he won the lottery.. He was like "Sissy they are just giving us stuff..

Once in our seats, watching them hit the ball around, we just started cooling off, and Cade decides hes hungry.. So we go trucking up to get some food.. He eats a ballpark hotdog of course..get back to the seats, and Dad has loaded up on cotton candy of all things..

                                      Finally settled in , we began to watch the Rangers..... LoSe..

                                                

After being in the heat and i mean 102 heat.. (thats dedication) we had about enough, and the fact that they were losing, wasnt helping.. annnnd Cade wasnt feeling too swift we decided to go ahead and make our way out of the park, and possibly beat the stampede as well.. But not before stopping to pose with Nolan Ryan..

Finally back out to the truck, all unloaded with all the "free" junk and goodies from the gift shop we headed back to the casa!!! It was a fun evening get away, and Loved spending time with the little bro.. Already planning another trip when my other brother can make it as well.. They say a picture can be worth a thousand words.. so Needless to say I think this picture below sums it all up:
