I'm losing it!

You know you have lost it when you sit at the computer at Pan@ra Bread for 3 hours just waiting for a glimpse of a rumor. I know some of you are asking why there? I am so missing my high speed so I love that the nice people at Pan@ra let you use your computers here. They just didn't know that I was moving in. This has become a regular routine for me but for some reason I am very antsy today! WHERE ARE THE RUMORS?! I just checked RQ for the 5,000 time and she finally posted... no new! Wow, sure glad I waited for that. It's going to be a long weekend. HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!

Bragging again!

You have to love being an aunt. With all these nieces and nephews I always have something going on. This week Gage was in the paper. He has a part in the high school play of PeterP@n. Mike and I will be going to see him in action. The play runs for 2 weekends. Last year he also was in the high school play. Way to go Gage, we can't wait to see you in action!

No other news to report here. I just keep checking the rumor board to see if anything new is reported on the cut off date but NOTHING! Where are the rumors?????

Tonight is senior night so be prepared for some more of my rambling on Chase and Friday Night Football!

Another Month Down!

First off I want to acknowledge our LID Anniversary from yesterday. We are now at 32, enough said.

I wanted to show off this beautiful thank you boquet I got from Mike's Aunt Janet and Uncle Bill. I had helped set up Eric for his surgery and I got this suprise treat for helping out. They should have never done but we all really enjoyed it.

I'm not sure how good you can see this picture but my Mom and Dad had swarms of ladybugs all over the house. I was hoping this was going to mean that there was going to be a huge number of referrals this month and that they are on the way but per the first rumors it looks like a small 5 day batch. Please be wrong and send more!

Where are the rumors (and a little of this and that)

Here we are again on another Friday. It seems it is the only day I find the time to post. Since I still don't have high speed access I find that when I have computer time I would rather check in on all of my favorite blogs, see the latest rumors and look for houses than to post about what I am up to. I had a group of photos I wanted to include but Blogg#r isn't acting right this morning so only two attached. But since it is Friday I wanted to start by posting a picture of Chase for the local paper. This was from alumni night. Tonight we head across town in the rain to play KCD.

Last week Mike and I decided to take a little last minute trip to Florida. The picture below is one I took of one of the many beautiful sunsets we saw. We had hoped that we would have a house by now and that we would have this week to work on it but since we still haven't had any luck we spent the week relaxing on the beach (didn't hurt my feelings). It was just a wonderful week with the weather staying in the 80's.

The trip was wonderful but I came home to some horrible flu bug and was sick for the past week. It is never fun going back to work with chills and vomiting. Oh well, got over it and am feeling much better today.

While I was gone my niece Courtney got her licence so if you are traveling in Louisville be very careful (just warning you!) Just kidding Court, congrats! Charlee went to her first high school dance, I'll post a picture when I can. How can she be that old! Ethan got his first touchdown in flag football and Stevie got her roundoff back handspring! I was only gone a few days and missed all of this! It made me sad to think of how quickly time goes by and all the special things all of kids do. It made me even sader to think that Emma may be born now and that Mike and I are missing her first months and maybe even year of her life. I think about all the firsts we are missing but can't wait to have all of these special moments with her in the future.

Yesterday I was off work and my Mom stayed home from the office. It was a wonderful day to just hang out at her house and talk and enjoy a whole day together. I have enjoyed all the time we have got to spend together while we have been staying there and will be sad to leave when we finally find our new home. While we were sitting around talking Mom noticed swarms of ladybugs flying toward the house. I took a few pictures but it doesn't justify the number of ladybugs out there. I started thinking right away that maybe this mass number of ladybugs just might mean that there will be a huge number of referrals this month (hey, a girls gotta dream). I will just have to keep refreshing the Rum*r Queen site for any rumors. Even though we are still 42 days out we are getting closer and now there are a lot of my bloggy friends that are right around the corner. So come on CSA@, lets have a big month!

An Aunt's gotta brag!

If you read my post last week (I know, I only find time to blog about once a week) you know I was pumped up for Friday night football. I wanted to share to articles that have run this week after the cougars win over Beth Haven. I was trying to find the line scores but was having trouble locating the article in the paper last Saturday (don't worry, I bought an extra paper to put up). Chase scored all 5 touchdowns in the first half (mid-way into the 3rd quarter they took him out to let some of the younger guys play). He now has 7 TD's on the season, I hope he is able to add to that total this weekend. This weekend the cougars will be playing on Saturday night as they play DeSales. Now, this isn't a district game but it is very important game to the boys, bragging rights are very important. Thanks for listening to me ramble on but my nieces and nephews are the world to me and I hope they all know how much Mike and I love them and how proud we are of them. I will keep you filled in on all of it: the football, the dancing, the cheering and the high school play of Peter Pan!

Beth Haven falls 55-14 as Cougars extend their victory run to 4 and 0! Chase Martin on fire, scores 5 TD's !
The Cougars cranked it up early and never looked back, especially senior Chase Martin who scored 5 TD's! Chase scrambled for 4 scores on runs and also had a 65 yard punt return. With QB Devin Brown out of action Jimmy Nauert, did a great job stepping in at QB duties and Chase Martin stepped up to replace Nauert at running back and had the game of his life. The offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage and the Cougars scored on nearly every possession. The Cougar defense shut down the Bearcats all night. The two scores Beth Haven had were from a bad snap over Nauert's head in the first quarter when a defender scooped it up and scored, and a late score in the fourth quarter was against the Cougar Freshmen. The Freshmen did a good job offensively as Jake Kaelin scrambled for a 65 yard TD run. The scores were varied and many. Other scores were Cody Schoenburg on a 25 yard pass and Chad Hazelwood on a 65 yard Pass.

DESALES AT HOLY CROSS
When: 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Last year's meeting: DeSales won 37-13 at Manual Stadium.
Records: DeSales 2-2, Holy Cross 4-1.
Notes: The Colts routed Owen County 55-14 last week but should get a stiffer test tomorrow. DeSales likes to run and has six players with at least one TD run. Andrew Beeler leads the team in carries (30) and yards (150) but has yet to score. The Cougars have won four straight -- averaging 43.5 points -- behind quarterback Devin Brown (35 of 55 passing for 598 yards and seven TDs; 303 rushing yards, four TDs). Jimmy Nauert (381 rushing yards, six TDs), Chad Hazelwood (21 catches, 459 yards, five TDs) and Chase Martin (team-best seven total TDs) are the other threats. At halftime Holy Cross will honor the top 51 players in program history, including some from Bishop David.
Quotable: "It's just like any other rivalry game in that somebody can come out and get fired up and win," Holy Cross coach Dave Weston said. "Yeah, we want to beat them, but when it's over we'll shake their hands and move on. … But we'd like to have bragging rights, just like they would."
Jason's pick: Holy Cross 27-21.

Now, I should add that Mike and I celebrated our 31 month LID anniversary this week (I'm starting to lose count). We also had the next batch of referrals come out. The referrals appear to have gone from Feb. 10, 2006- Feb. 15, 2006 (6 days). Not the greatest but still six days! That puts us at 42 days until our LID, another baby step closer to Emma!
