Yup

I'm pregnant!!!

The Game Starts!

So here's the actually game we went to, not just walking around Detroit and the pre-game warm up, lol.

Lots of fun!
And the players take the ice!

It was a very good game, I took waaaay too many pictures.

During the Second Intermission we took pictures of ourselves. We were a little tired at that point...

Check out that wicked face paint!!!



We won!!!!! We won!!!

Red Wings Game!

On Tuesday May 19th my friend Kelly, my hubby and I went down to Detroit to see the Red Wings game! Round three, home game two of the play offs! We spent the whole day down there, walking around, eating at Hockeytown Cafe, and riding the people mover. We walked by Comerica Park (where the Detroit Tigers play), and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the giant Tigers they have there.

We got to the Joe Louis Arena very early (we were pretty excited) and we hung out outside the front doors and people-watched for a while. Always alot of fun!

SOOOOO much fun! We got inside and I took a couple of pictures with my two favorite players, Chris Osgood and Darren McCarty (I've loved them both for a long long time)

Mitch doesn't really understand my attraction to Darren McCarty, and I suppose judging from this picture I don't really get it either, you just have to see the man play!!! Mitch thought he was being funny... and he was.

Kelly and I got our faces painted and got some gigantic liqour filled drinks. The face painting was free and totally awsome, and the drinks were delicious!

After we got our drinks Kelly went up to our seats and Mitch and I headed down to the ice to watch the pre-game warm up, which was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire life I think. We stood behind the goal and had a ton of fun watching all the players.

It was amazing seeing the guys all goofing off together and laughing and teasing the crowd. Jiri Hudler kept shooting pucks at the glass where people were standing, not where we were, but around the corner. We did have a few stray pucks hit the glass right in front of my face! It was terrifying, but awesome!!! Make sure you turn the volume up on your computer. It was so loud and very exhillirating!

When Ty Conklin was in the net for a few minutes warming up, all the guys on the team went right up to the net they all started shooting at the same time. It was so funny! They were all laughing and teasing each other, and Conklin was throwing himself around trying to stop them all at once! He even fell a couple of times, it was really neat to watch them all act like that!

sick children should be quarentined.....

Alex had the flu this week. I got thrown up on. Twice. The poor boy is so exhausted he doesn't know what he wants and so he just whines, "momma momma momma momma momma momma" constantly. It's starting to wear on my nerves. I'm about to snap. But then I take a deep breath and remind myself that he doesn't feel good and I'm the only thing that makes him feel better. So I slap a smile on my face, pretend I don't have three inch bags under my eyes, get another cup of coffee and scoop him up onto my lap where we rock for another hour. Until he starts whining for something else. So here I go.

Today

Well today was an okay day. Mom and dad were being incredibly stupid yet again, so I couldn't stop crying at church and didn't want to sit through the sermon, so Mitch got Alex from the nursery and we headed to the mall to blow off some steam and try to cheer up. Alex had a lot of fun trying on sunglasses in Claire's, and even modeled for me a bit.

And yes, he cheered me up. Mitch helped too. :-) I've got a couple of very excellent guys.

Life Goes On

So I'm horrible at updating my blog. Get over it. I guess I've just been hiding from life. But life goes on even when I don't write in my blog. So I guess I should start dealing with stuff instead of hiding from it. That blows, but life goes on. All in all I suppose things aren't that bad. My parents fight all the time. But I still say that I'm a grown woman and their problems shouldn't bother me so much. But they do. Imagine that. Mitchell and I want to go to DTS as soon as possible, then off to the mission field. But I don't really want to. We'll have to get rid of all of our worldly possessions and start a brand new life, yet again. I'm kinda sick of it. I want a house with a yard and a dog and neighbors and a good school system for Alex in a few years. But no, we'll probably end up in Africa or something like that living in a hut. And you know what bothers me the most of all of our stuff that we'll lose? Our DVD collection. How stupid is that. I KNOW, I am fully aware, that we're not supposed to store up treasures on earth and all that. But I like our DVD collection. It's something Mitchell and I have done together since we first met practically. It's the ONLY thing we've been able to hold onto during all the moves and drama and crap that is ours and ours alone. And I don't want to let it go. On the other hand, I'm ready to live somewhere else. Last night I dreamt we were back in Florida. I woke up thinking we were in Florida. Crashing back to the reality of being in Michigan is a horrible way to start your day. I found out the other day that an aquantice from high school is now living in Slovakia playing basketball. Who goes to Slovakia to play basketball? How odd is that. Now my desire to go back to the Czech Republic is twice as strong. If he and his wife can live in Slovikia and ENJOY it, there's no reason my husband, our son and I can't live in Prague. And I want to go back to the Karlstejn Castle, and I really want to show it to Mitchell. So we shall see where God leads us, and I will continue to pray and let go of world possesions that don't mean anything.
