24-22 Hawks!!

A good day for Seahawks fans today. I can't believe I am actually talking about the Seahawks score, but since I met and married my husband my sports knowledge has been steadily growing. I didn't grow up in a sports oriented family. I had never sat though an entire NFL broadcast until I met my husband. I can honestly say that I am really enjoying it. My favorite part is the social aspect. We get to have parties and friends over. Todays the party was at the parents house, (they have a rather large tv screen). There was much screaming, jumping off the couch and pizza. I loved watching all the men alternate between screaming and cheering the TV. Sammy's (my hubby) family got to spend most of the day with us which include his mom, Marilyn, Steve, his step-dad and Samuel, his bro. My parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, two nieces, cousin kk and her fiance were all in attendance. We had lot's of fun.

My first day as overhead girl went well. Definitely nerve wracking, but good. My main concern is what to do with my hands. I am use to having a pew in front of me to rest them on, but I only have a small metal music stand that would probably topple over if I placed my bilateral arm weight on. I tried many positions, hands in front pockets, hands in back pockets, clasped in front of me, thumbs in beltloops. Nothing felt all that comfortable. I guess I will have to keep experimenting. I did manage to put all of the correct songs on at the right time in the right direction. Thank goodness. Now I just have to manage the hand dillema and I will be an expert.

I am getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning to go walking with my sis. My weight has been steadily increasing over the last 6 months. I now only have two pairs of pants that fit and a closet full that don't. I am praying that we can stick to this walking schedule. It will be great to get some sis time. I also know that it is going to be great for my physical and emotional health. Wish me luck...
