Super Bowl

Party at Chris and Betsy's.  Good food, great atmosphere and I liked the results.  Glad Pete Carroll won. Former USC coach with hardware and I met him.  See blog from 07/19/10.

Connie's Birthday

They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you

Yes, we're going to a party party

Needtobreathe

In your ocean I'm ankle deep
I feel the waves crashing on my feet
It's like I know where I need to be, but
I can't figure out, I can't figure out
Just how much air I will need to breathe
When your tide rushes over me
There's only one way to figure out
But will you let me drown
Will you let me drown

Hey now, this is my desire
Consume me like a fire
'Cause I just want
Something beautiful to touch me
I know that I'm that I'm in reach
'Cause I am down on my knees
And waiting for
Something beautiful

                              Needtobreathe


Bridget got free tickets as a frequent listener to a local radio station.  They played a 75 minute concert instead of just 4 or 5 songs.  It was held at Birch North Park Theatre and we were in the 6th row.  Great seats.  Awesome concert.  First heard them on KLOVE.

When my dreams are over
And my feet hit the floor
Is my will enough to move on
When we fight to get back
The love that we've lost
Will my hands be enough to push on
Tell me will I have enough to go on

Cause we are alive
We are strong
We cant watch it go for nothing
Watch until its gone
And we are down
But we can choose
We've got nothing else to live for
Nothing left to lose

                          Needtobreathe

Shortfalls and little sins
Close calls where no one wins
Stand tall we're running thin
I'm wearing thin

Oh, why are we keeping score

Cause if you're not laughing
Who is laughing now
I've been wondering
If we stop sinking
Could we stand our ground
And through everything we've learned
We've finally come to terms
We are the outsiders
Oh, we are the outsiders

Happy New Year 2014

Christmas in Texas

December 25, 2013 Wednesday

When it's Christmas time in Texas
It's a very special time for me
In Texas we'll be swingin'
Around the Christmas tree
Dancin' to a Christmas melody
When it's Christmas time in Texas
It might look just like a summer day
                                     George Strait

We got up early on Christmas Day to catch a plane to Texas.  We flew into Love Field then drove over to Dallas Ft Worth Airport to pick up Noah.  Noah was flying in from Louisville.  We got him and then headed to Jen and Brian's house.  When we got there both boys were taking their naps and Jen and Brian were working on dinner.

Luke and Sawyer woke up and we played with them while dinner was cooking.  Jen and Brian had a brisket, homemade twice baked potatoes, purple, orange and yellow cauliflower.  Dinner was delicious!

After dinner it was time for presents.

Merry Texas Christmas You All

We have no jingle bells or sleigh
To display on Christmas Day
There’s not much snow down Texas way
But we sure mean it when we say
Merry Texas Christmas you all

Merry Texas Christmas you all
May your days be sunny and bright
May your hearts be happy and light
Merry Texas Christmas you all

It was a relaxing day of playing with new toys, going to the playground and just having fun.

For dinner Jen fixed a Cafe Rio dinner salad. Jen even made homemade tortillas!  One of her favorite restaurants in Utah.  They are expanding and we ate with her at the one in Lake Forest before they moved to Texas.

More fun today.  For lunch we took Noah to Carl's Jr.  He goes into withdrawls from not eating there, and don't try and tell him the Hardee's in Louisville is the same.  That night we went to Courtney's and David's for dinner.  Lasgana.  Oh, it was good!  Courtney and David are awesome hosts.

I went to Dunkin' Donuts and got my coffee.  They are finally coming to California so now  I won't have to make it a must visit in Texas.

Courtney and David picked Noah up and they went to a sports bar to watch Louisville vs Kentucky basketball game.  Not a good day for Louisville, but they are the defending Champions.

For dinner we had Chinese food from China Star.

Leaving Texas today.  Noah back to Louisville and Bridget and I back to San Diego.  Never save the last day for group pictures, but we always forget that.  Jen and Brian fixed Waffles, Eggs, Bacon for brunch.
