fall means football.

well, fall has offically arrived as football season is well underway. while we as a couple follow NFL a bit... college football is truely the focus these days. we are the proud owner of season tickets to the Fresno State Football games and we even made the drive down to LA two weekends ago for the FSU vs. UCLA game (which we won).





nothing is more thrilling than the team running from the "tunnel" to the awaiting fans cheering them on. the band playing the fight song. the cheerleaders flipping and twirling their way down the field ahead of the team. of course, our favorite part is watching the real pet bulldog puppy play with a toy football on the side lines of each game (for those of you who don't know, ry and i have always wanted an old english bulldog).


this last saturday we played Hawaii in a heart breaking game which we lost in overtime by three points. as you can see the hawaii team has some BIG boys with lots of hair! they played well and while we should have beat them by over 20 points, we were just not on our game. speaking of which... i've officially decided the crappiest job on a football team is the kicker's role. talk about pressure. our poor freshman kicker just handle it. our only two home games so far have been lost due to one (or three) missed field goal kicks. is that not his ONLY job on the team? does he not spend each and every practice just kicking the ball through the uprights? poor thing, the whole valley's got it in for him.


also, our wonderful neighbors jeff and candi came with us to the game. it was their first fresno state game. they moved here from arkansas a year and a half ago (i think they're still arkansas razorback fans at heart), and they have yet to purchase some red fsu attire. so we forgave them this one time and we hope they'll come back with us again!

another game this saturday night against idaho. go bulldogs!

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh...

My Love

My poor husband has had a rough few weeks so I thought I'd send him a bit of encouragement via our blog. What makes me ♥ love ♥ MY Love: His willingness to help an old lady load her car in the grocery store parking lot His humor The animal lover in him The way still sticks out his lower lip when he's bummed about something That he can BBQ a tri tip steak like it's nobody's business. That he notices when I clean house He's HOT! How he calls his family often just because That he does all the vacuuming at our house That he reads the blogs I write and will compliment me on them That he rolls his eyes when I turn on HGTV, but when I'm not in the room he'll turn to it That he'll walk up to a service man or woman in uniform in public & shake their hand & thank them for their service. That he'll sacrifice a Saturday to plant flowers for my 78 yr old aunt just so she won't do it herself. That after a knock down drag out argument he will apologize ...

New Blog Design

Do you like it? Mariah had a giveaway on her blog awhile back awarding someone a new blog design and button and I actually won! At the time I had no clue what I actually wanted and was in the midst of a photography class and didn't really have the time to spend figuring it out. Well, she was patient with me and even let me take the photos for my header and she put them all together to make them look GREAT! Thanks again Mariah , I love it. Feel free to grab my button over on the left... I have one now!
