The second half of soccer is upon us. After one week of weather delays and two weeks for Christmas break, tonight we were supposed to start back BUT we had to cancel practice again with near freezing temps and freezing rain and ice. I mentioned to the head coach earlier today that we needed to get together and get a game plan down for the spring season. He just said “We need to Win.”
Yep that’s for sure.
So Wednesday we are back at it and now adding next Saturday since we missed tonight. We really need to get a plan together so we can excel and win some games in the spring. I guess I need to scout out 2 tournaments between now and May. I’m looking forward to practice starting back up in a couple days and getting this team re-focused.
I really need to stop our kitchen faucet from leaking. I’m not really sure how to accomplish this but I better figure it out cause I don’t want higher water bills. Maybe we should just go look at all the faucets at the nearest store and just replace it. I really don’t want to do that since it’s only a couple of years old.
Maybe someone can teach me to fix a faucet or better yet maybe there is some google page I can search with tips on trying to repair them. I wish I was a better handyman and maybe over the years I will become one.
Now I just need to find some time to get it all fixed up…
Way back like right after graduation days, a couple friends that I had just met were starting to get into mini-trucks, later to be known as lowriders, etc. So they got me hooked and I was out buying my S10. My friend Brett had the S15 (GMC) equivalent so I figured it would be good since he knew some things about it already. So after getting the S10 and buying some low profile wheels, we dropped the sucker on the ground. We used some drop spindles and then we cut the coils as well. Some people use coilovers to help in the stabilization.
Well I got the truck in 1989 and I just sold it this last April. Almost 20 years I owned this truck. Kind of miss it. Over the years it had a convertible top, shaved door handles, custom front end work, various paint jobs, etc.
It was some good ole times…
Here are a couple pictures:
Here is the truck after my convert and a new white paint job.. I have all Chrome Wire Wheels (Mclean)
Here is one shot before I sold it:
Yep we have a big announcement to make which we have kept secret until we could tell our parents and family. Hopefully in 2009 we will be adopting a child and becoming parents.
The last 4-5 months have been pretty busy for us and for the people that are close to us will understand why we have been so busy. There is a lot that we had to do to get prepped to get our foster/adoption license for our local Christian agency. We have done tons of classes and tests to get prepared.
We have met a little 2 year old girl named Ella who our friends were respite care providing (since they are foster parents themselves) and we just fell in love with Ella. However Ella is not up for adoption yet and we wanted to be all prepared just in case she did come up for adoption. If it does not work out with Ella we will see where God takes us and what child he will bless us with.
Our parents are really excited about being first time grandparents. They are very much ready to have a grand child so we are happy for them as well.
As things progress I will either update my blog here or possibly start a new one.
So hopefully in 2009 we will become first time parents.
We are soooo excited!!!
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, including my friends, family and blogger friends, etc. etc.
Happy 2009…
The NFL wild card weekend is upon us and here are the teams doing battle this weekend to continue there quest to the Super Bowl.
Saturdays Games:
Falcons vs. Cardinals (NBC)
Colts vs. Chargers (NBC)
Sundays Games:
Ravens vs. Dolphins (CBS)
Eagles vs. Vikings (FOX)
Now I’m pretty happy that Dallas did NOT make the playoffs. Yes I know I’m from this area, but never have been and most likely will not be a cowboys fan. That is OK. I’m a true home town fan of my ever losing Seattle Seahawks. Now in the past they have done pretty well but the last couple of years they keep going down hill. Next year is a new coach and hopefully everyone will be healed.
I would like to see the Cardinals, Colts, Dolphins and the Vikings make this round. Of course that is who I would like to see win and move on.
Sometimes I really don’t understand why we do things the way we do. For instance, our family room. We use TV trays for our laptops probably because they are pretty simple to put away if some unexpected company comes knocking on the door. We have a bookcase and a tv stand which probably needs to be replaced, but I think I will wait till after I get a Flat screen.
Of course it’s usually a mess but we try our best to clean it up. In fact tonight when we got back from our Christmas vacation we did some picking up. And now I’m relaxing in the family room on the laptop typing this post.
I totally forgot that my Uncle got a new car with a turbocharger in it Wow is it ever fast.
Tonight at dinner with my parents, wife and a couple of friends, we started talking about cars in general and it would be awesome to have a really fast car with turbo. We talked about some Audi’s and Ferrari’s and a few BMW’s. It was a good ole time especially since I haven’t seen my friend in quite some time. Of course a lot of nice cars were not out and about including my Uncles since all the snow is melting and it’s raining off and on.
One of these days I will possibly get a car with a turbo on it. Let the tickets begin. Ha Ha Ha
