Houston Dynamo!

This Saturday Matt and I went to the Dynamo game following Ben's birthday party. We were accompanied by the birthday boy himself, Amy, Courtney and her friend Matt. Matt and I love our season tickets and we love it even more when we can share the experience with our friends! This is our 3rd year as season ticket holders and we could not enjoy the games more! Dynamo games are something we enjoy doing together and help us to remain best friends. I look forward to sharing it for years to come and passing it onto our children, when we have them.

The game was a draw at 2-2. Unfortunately we didn't win like we should have but at least we didn't lose. So far this year has not been a good year for the Dynamo. We lost Holden and Clark to European team and Cameron to an injury. We seriously need to step it up already!

The view from our seats! I sure hope it looks the same at the new stadium! Right behind the goal.

My hubby! He was obviously enjoying himself.

Amy and Ben.

And Courtney and Matt. They played their vuvuzela's on their iPhones most of the night. Man I hate those things! Thanks God people do not use them here!

Dirty 30

Yesterday we celebrated Ben's Dirty 30! We had a day of fun at his apartment complex pool with Chuy's fajitas, the US world cup game again Ghana and water volleyball. Too bad we didn't win. But we still had fun! We definitely need to do that more often.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Our friends Jason and Amanda were also there with their two adorable kids!

Hallie was too cute in her little bikini! And boy did she love the pool! And this little one is only a month old and slept the whole time.

We had so much fun and cannot wait until the next pool party/volleyball tournament. Next time I will wear some water shoes or something because my toes were worn raw from the pool. It was so bad that it hurt to walk. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again for the championship game for the world cup!

Jimmie's Place

Tonight we intended on some good old bingo with friends, however, when we arrived the SPJST was completely packed with not a seat in the house. I never knew bingo was the hot spot for young adults. We went expecting to be surrounded by old people and to have cheap pitchers of beer. Not the case at all! I guess we will just have to show up earlier next week. Since the bingo hall was packed to capacity and we were already out....we decided to hit up the local Heights bar Jimmie's Place on 6th/White Oak. It's a different kind of place but the beer is cheap and the crowd is low key.

Here we are at Jimmies enjoying our beers. Matt with his usual Shiner.

Apparently on Thursday nights their canned beer is on sale for $1.25. It's not premium beer by any means but it will do! I tried some Lone Star Beer and even Schlitz. I thought they quit making Schlitz years ago! My Grandpa Motl always had Schlitz and Lone Star in his fridge so I had to drink one of each for him although it did make me miss him. :( It's only been about a month and a half since his passing and it still makes me sad to think about it.

We were joined by our good friends Amy and Ben

And our brother-in-law Guy!

Hopefully next week we will be able to get a seat at Bingo! Wish us luck.

Happy *Belated* One Month Anniversary

Yesterday was our one month anniversary and we both forgot about it until this morning.  I was getting ready for work when Matt walked in the room and announced sadly that we missed our anniversary.  Whoops!  We both intended on surprising the other with a card and a small gift but we both forgot.  At least we are on the same page!  Oh well.  Happy (Belated) One Month Anniversary Honey.  You are my best friend and I am so happy to be your wife.  I cannot wait to spend every day with you for the rest of our lives.  I love you with all my heart.
