A Little Friendly Rivalry....

So, my grandpa is from Philly, and my hubby is from Texas. What do you get when you put the two together? Really fun Monday night football rivalries when the Cowboys play the Eagles. For the last couple of years, we have lived two houses down from my grandpa. The first year we moved into this house my husband put a sign up by the garage that said "Cowboys Parking Only" that same year the Eagles beat the Cowboys and my grandpa crept over and put a printed computer paper over our sign that said "Eagles Parking Only" and so......the rivalry continues. Tonight the Cowboys played the Eagles for Monday night football and they won. My hubby, printed off a very nice sign and we ran over to grandpa's house and hung it just outside their door where he's sure to find it the next time he comes outside!

It's dark ( I didn't want the flash to give us away!) but you can see Dwayne hanging the sign!

The "Cowboys Parking Only" for all to see!

Taking a Study Break...

Okay, so I don't think there is anything anyone can tell you that can prepare you for just how much time you end up devoting to studying and NOT to sleeping, family, work, cleaning. socializing....etc. while in nursing schoool. I knew this was going to be a comittment but I just wasn't prepared for the whole, ceasing to exist thing. Oh well, it'll pay off in the long run right? Well, its after mid-night and I have an exam in less than nine hours. I've been studying all day, and I think it's time to call it quits. I'm going to head to bed but I thought I post a quick blog about it. Now, if I do this right, there should be pictures of my nursing school endeavor. Here we go.....

These are my beautiful close up shots of my handy-dandy, nifty-spiffy uniform!




This is where I study, yes, I know, it is a closet. Hopefully the new house will have a real place for my "office" to be.

Yes, I give in!

So, after many many weeks of reading friends' blogs, and they in return encouraging me to start my own blogspot, I have decided to do so. This page will be a wonderful place for everyone to keep tabs on the Macie family (since anyone who knows us, knows it's hard to keep track of us!) and all that we do.

Perhaps the newest thing to happen in our lives is the purchase of a new house. We've had our eye out for a year or so now for a good deal on a house. We haven't been actively searching but we haven't been closed to the idea of homeowning should the right house happen along. Well, as luck would have it, we got a fairly good deal on a very nice house and now here we are, only two and a half weeks away from close of escrow and move in time!

As soon as I can remember it, I'll take a picture of the house and post it up here for all to see. Stay tuned for our many new adventures!
