Props...

When I first told Matt about getting a blog I mostly expected him to go on and on about "did I really want to put all our personal business out there for the world to see...blah, blah" but unexpectedly I got "well, ok, but you're not allowed to pick out the music." You see, what Matt knows is that I suck when it comes to music. I NEVER know who sings a song, or the song title, or even the words to the song for that matter. Scratch that...the CORRECT words to the song. Sometimes I'll even pretend to know the words when I really have no clue.

So, not too long ago Matt and I were riding in the car just singing along to Akon and Eminem's 'Smack That' (don't judge), and all of a sudden he turns down the radio and asks "what did you just say?" Uh oh. Caught. And so, I sheepishly repeat what I thought the song had said:

"more like a pile of shallazay"

I mean, really. A pile of shallazay? Matt just about fell out of the car laughing because the actual words to the song are:

"more like a palace, shall I say"

Needless to say, it was fitting for Matt to pick out the music for our blog...

soooo, here's to you mr. i-really-care-about-the-music-on-my-wife's-blog-guy!

This Buds for you!

Weekend in review

Friday night I went to Jackson to see one of my best friends from high school, Jennifer, who was in town from Sun Valley. We had a great time getting to catch up...I miss her like crazy and don't get to see her often enough!
Also, Clint and Jeri Anne had their baby on Friday and we went to see her Saturday. She is absolutely beautiful and teeny tiny! You can see more pics of little Mimi by clicking on the Darby's blog.

The guys were so cute seeing Mimi for the first time!

Saturday night we went to see Willie Nelson and Dave Matthews at Autozone Park. It was crazy hot but so much fun!

Pray for Joseph

Several months back our Sunday School class became aware of a family who was living in Memphis for six weeks while their son received daily radiation at St. Jude for a brain tumor. Our class decided to take meals to them during their stay so Matt and I had the opportunity to meet their family. I have continued to keep up with them through their blog

www.prayforjoseph.blogspot.com

and thought that some of you might want to add them to your prayer list. Joseph had a third brain surgery earlier this month and has struggled recently in his recovery. They are a wonderful Christian family and are in need of as much prayer as possible!

The Countdown

That's right, my friends, our Grove tent is named after a shrimp. It was one of those we're-at-the-beach-and-having-frosty-beverages-and-it-seems-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time ideas.

Anyway, our season opener against Memphis (boo Memphis) is just a little over a month away and excitement is starting to mount around our house. Matt and his friends are throwing out predictions left and right. Matt is super excited about having a new coach this year and all I can do is giggle because his name is Nutt (yes, I'm that immature). So, to get the rest of you excited about some Rebel football I thought I'd share with you some photo highlights from last season!!

Two Eight

Last week I turned 28. Yikes, 30 is getting too close for comfort! Thanks to all you peeps who called and sent cards, texts and emails. I've never felt so popular!! Matt got a group of my friends together for dinner and we went to get sushi at DO (pronounced doe). It was wonderful and I had so much fun being with everyone.

I never...

Ok, I admit it...I am addicted. I am totally powerless over blog stalking. So, it seems only fitting that I create my own blog right? However, (while it seems fine for others to have blogs) I feel that starting my own blog seems down right pretentious, even bordering on narcissistic. I mean, who really wants to read about my life?? I vowed that I would never have a blog without at least having a baby to blog about, but here I am babyless blogging.

This is not the first time I've vowed never to do something:

Exhibit A: "I'll never let my pet get on my furniture"

Exhibit B: "I'll never have a myspace page"

Exhibit C: "I'll never wear leggins"
