Thankful Thursday on a Friday!


First, I need to give you a Weight Watchers update. The last 3 weeks I have gained .4 each week, that's a grand total of 1.2. Yesterday I was a bit discouraged thinking here we go again another gain. . .I stepped on the scale and lost 2.8!!! I couldn't believe it. What??? How much did I lose?? 2.8 she said. I guess eating a grilled chicken sandwich at my first Rays game was a good choice. Mike and I went with our friends English Dave and Brazilian Rachel and more Brazilians to the Rays game on Tuesday night. They had never been to a baseball game, so we took them to a Rays game. We were having a great time, but do you know how hard it is to explain baseball to someone who has never seen the game played? Then Rachel had to translate what we were saying! It was fun! Rachel also enjoyed her first American hot dog at the game. (I'll be nice and not post a picture of her eating it.) It was a boring game to watch--Crawford and Upton never stole a base and no home runs. However, it got more exciting as we were getting more tired, both Dave and Mike kept yawning because the game was tied 1-1 and we were in extra innings. The Rays won with Ben Zobrist stealing 2nd and Pat Burrell hitting a home run! The Rays win, 3-1!!! Can't wait to go to another game sometime. Hopefully, sooner than later! I'm thankful for friends that we were able to share this memory with. We don't know when we will see them again. Mike and I are probably going to have to take a trip across the pond to visit them again! We love you English Dave and Brazilian Rachel!

Memories from the week!



We got back from our vacation and I haven't stopped yet! We went out to eat with Sam and Jen, then came back to our house for a game of Parcheesi. We had the Busby's over for dinner. We enjoyed cuddling with our blankets and eating our Rita's Italian Ice while watching the Rays game. I went to Chuck E Cheese with 2 of my nephews and to CiCi's pizza for lunch.



On Wednesday and Thursday, my friend Katelyn came over and we had a great time playing the Wii and doing girl stuff! My new favorite game on the Wii is "Sorry Sliders"! We went to Practically Picasso and she painted a bank that was the shape of a basketball. She did a great job. I have to go next week and pick it up. She spent the night Wednesday night and Thursday we enjoyed another morning of rain. We went to Tampa to Lakeshore Learning Store. We had fun shopping for ourselves and for my classroom.


Now it's time to get ready for the 4th of July!!!
