There was special last night on Primetime that I was only able to catch a few minutes of as I had to go pick up Marc.
Here's the link to Randy Pausch's book. On the website there are clips from his last lecture, excerpts from his book. I will be reading this next!
This was on his wesbite:
On September 18, 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams.” With slides of his CT scans beaming out to the audience, Randy told his audience about the cancer that is devouring his pancreas and that will claim his life in a matter of months. On the stage that day, Randy was youthful, energetic, handsome, often cheerfully, darkly funny. He seemed invincible. But this was a brief moment, as he himself acknowledged.
Randy’s lecture has become a phenomenon, as has the book he wrote based on the same principles, celebrating the dreams we all strive to make realities. Sadly, Randy lost his battle to pancreatic cancer on July 25th, 2008, but his legacy will continue to inspire us all, for generations to come.

America's Got Talent....
That was on tv this evening as I was cleaning up from dinner. The last contestant was an spc. in the army who had just came back from serving 15months in Iraq.. He gave a little background story and it triggered the sad feelings that I am trying really hard to escape me right now.. Been :( since that.. I am definitely trying REALLY hard to focus on the positives that will come from all this but sometimes its just easier said that done.. Lissa said on her blog EXACTLY how I feel all the time. Yes-Staying busy does help in some regard but all it takes is something so small that just sucks all the happiness out of you and you are just left feeling so sad and alone without your spouse. I sometimes wish that time would just travel like the speed of light to get me through until December.. In saying all of these sad thoughts I am feeling- I know it was Ricardo's time to go over there and serve his dues.
On a happier note I went to a luncheon this past Saturday that was for the deployed families. It was put on by the family service center at Brooks City Base. I arrived a bit late as I had some issues signing Ricky up for football. Anyhow once I got there I had a wonderful time. It was held at a family fun center that was a combo of Mr Gattis and a Malibu Grand Prix. Of course all the kids who came had a wonderful time. I was able to meet a few people. There were quite a few military members and their families there that came simply to show support and offer up any help possible.. There is alot of assistance out there if needed and its definitely great to feel that you/I am not alone in that regard.
School is starting back up in less than a month. It seems we have a full calendar until then-with football practice mon-fri starting next week. I am crossing my fingers that Marc will not have to work the last weekend before school starts back as I would have the chance to take them to Corpus for a few days.
Got Ricky all signed up for football and let me tell you he is really pumped up this year about playing tackle! The league I originally wanted to sign him up at close to our house had a long waiting list so I went to the next city over.. So far I can say that I am glad I did that. The league he is in went to state last year- not to mention Converse Bucaneers are all about football.. I am sure Ricky will learn alot about the game this season. Had to go pick up all his equipment this evening and what nice people they have running the league! My first impression was definitely a good one.
That's about it for this post!
The boys had built a fort in Ricky's room the other day

Updating from Dallas
Been awhile since I have posted. The boys and I have been a little busy since my last posting on the 12th. The boys enjoyed their 5day visit from Godefrey- or Louis as we called him, who lives in France. We took him to Six Flags, the alamo, riverwalk, and of course they hung out at the house playing hours and hours of video games it seemed.
Then we went to Oklahoma for my family reunion. It was quite small this year but we made the best of it. The boys enjoyed going out on my cousins boat along with hanging out with their cousins who they only see once a year. The kids played games of tennis in the wee hours- while us adults watched them play from a distance while catching up on each others lives, and had some very interesting debates- over a few beers and other drinks of course! We all have decided to move the reunion back to Texas so we are scouting for new locations right now.
Sunday I dropped Marc off at his camp, which turned into a comedy of errors that day. I'll post about that later.
Monday we went out on Lake Grapevine on my aunt's boat with the boys and my mom. The boys had tons of fun that day and all the tubing they got to do.
Tuesday we went to Six Flags. Ricky braved it and rode all the rides/roller coasters that he was tall enough for. Didnt make it to the two really scary roller coasters. We may go back on Friday for a few hours once we pick up Marc.
Wednesday we went to Six Flags Hurricane Harbor- the waterpark. Very nice park! Lots and lots of rides. The boys had alot of fun- and had their moments too! They rode almost everything. The was a ride Ricky begged me to go on with him. Well I am now regretting it as once of the things you had to do was put your chin down when going down the first hill. Didnt do that step and I am paying the price now.. I think I got whiplash.
Today the boys want to go on my aunts boat again so we will do that around lunchtime. I will have to pass on tubing :( My neck is pretty sore..
The tile job that was started while I was in Mexico should be complete when I return home on Friday. It will be nice to get my house back in order and be able to cook real meals once again. Been eating sandwiches and fast food WAY too much since the job started. Even the boys have said they are sick of mcd's and other fast food places.
Marc is enjoying his baseball camp. I am heading out in a few minutes to catch one of his practices.
Much much more I want to post but I will save it for when I am back home this weekend. My next post will include pics. I have taken quite a few!

Six Flags
Yesterday I took the boys to Six Flags. Justin and Marc each brought a friend. As I was getting things ready to go Marc says he is not going after all. I knew that would happen. He just wanted to stay home and chill as he said he is not much into rides.. Well I really gave him NO choice. So he calls a friend to come along with him. Well after the day was over he told me how much fun he had and he rode all the roller coasters except for one.. Big accomplishment for him! We all had a great time..

The past few days
Wednesday was a little emotional.. I was dwelling so much on the bad things going on over in Afghanistan. All I could think about was Ricardo and his safety or the lack of it in my point of view. Other little things were going on at home that I had to deal with. Got an outrageous phone bill and had to call customer service. The poor guy on the other end really got an earful from me.
I am lucky that Ricardo is able to call me almost daily and he reassures me that he is ok and the base is doing everything possible to keep our men and women safe over there. I don't know what I would do not being able to talk with him on a constant basis.
I just have to remind myself that so many people are keeping Ricardo and my family in their thoughts and prayers every day and that he will come home to us safe and sound. Four more (long) months of this!
So after ALL day of being sad, mad,etc.. I decided I just had to change my mood and go somewhere that the boys like and have fun for a little bit.. Marc had to work that evening so Justin, Ricky and I went to Chuckecheese to play some games and have pizza.. Justin got the high score on the basketball game and I kicked some butt on skeeball.. Going there was good distraction for me. Later that evening Justin had basketball practice.
Thursday was a chill at home day. We are having tile put in the house so we hung around the house most of the day making sure things were going smoothly. I ran a few errands with Marc in the morning and picked up some delicous chinese food for lunch.
Today I am taking all the boys to six flags waterpark. Marc isnt much of a waterpark person but I know once I drag him there he will have fun. There are a few rides that hold four people- so he needs to come with us and all ride together.
Heres a few pics of the last few days.......

Tile job so far.. It will look awesome when it's finished!

From the highs to the lows....
Well I hadnt posted much leading up to my recent trip.. Back to reality. It was like going from a big high- being surrounded by wonderful friends and having such a great time I was distracted with the thoughts of how much I am missing Ricardo and all the sadness that goes along with this whole deployment... In the beginning of the trip on the plane I felt surrounded by couples who were soo lovey dovey I was about to get sick.. LOL..
Not watching the news while in MX I was not aware of the bombing in Kabul Afghanistan. Had I learned of that while on the trip I would have gone to a complete low filled with worry.. Coming back and reading up on the bombing has made me a little worried- Ricardo said it took place just a few blocks away from him.. Not really liking this whole deployment thing after all!
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/06/26/afghan.fighting/index.html?iref=newssearch
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/06/18/afghanistan.fighting/index.html?iref=newssearch
Trying not to live in worry but gosh it's kinda scary thinking about whats going on over there. Seems Afganistan has been in the news far too much lately!
Check out the photos on here Ricardo has put together when you get a chance.. cant wait until he is home.. In ten more days it will have been two months that he has been gone and only four more months to go, but who's counting..

All good things must come to an end.. Cant live that way all the time- though it sure would be nice! The trip was a nice little break for me. The girls and I hope to meet up again every year and I am sure we will want the best of the best again! What great memories!

Wonderful weekend in Mexico!
After soo much debate on whether or not I could or even should go to a friends bachelorette party trip in Mexico it turned out to be one of the best trips! From the moment I got off the plane in Cozumel I knew I was in for a treat. Friends of the family took EXCELLENT care of me and my friends. Talk about being treated like we were high class celebrities as my friends would say. We were able to do so many extras that really made the trip extra special and we will always have these wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
Here are a few of the highlights of my weekend....
