Oops......it has been a really long time!

I guess we kind of slipped on updating our blog............big time!

Many things have happened since our last blog, so I will highlight a few!

1) Christmas Break was awesome and we really enjoyed our time away! We spent 5 or 6 days with family and loved all the relaxation time! However, our biggest news from the holiday season was our winnings in Shreveport after Christmas. Brian spent lot of time on the poker table and walked away winning just over $1000! He is quite the player in Shreveport and left many guessing at his strategy of playing! Although he doesn't have a specific type of play, it worked and he was thrilled! I, on the other hand, found my way to a blackjack table with $100 in my pocket. In what seemed like 24 hours (actual time was 7 hours), I turned my $100 into $2600! I have never in my life had that much fun playing blackjack and to this day I swear it was a dream! I know in the future we will return to our favorite place in Shreveport (Eldorado Casino), I do not expect to win that big again........well, anytime soon!

2. Brian's college teaching career is on hold...........for now. With such a short time after Brian was hired until the spring semester, there was not enough time to get enough kids registered for his classes. So, hopefully during the spring semester Navarro is promoting his classes and he will begin teaching either in the summer or fall of 2008. He is still hopeful and Navarro is very interested in getting the classes started up again soon! Keep your fingers crossed!

3. My directorial debut! Yes, I with no tallent in the drama field have taken on the directors roll for Blooming Grove HS One Act Play! I honestly didn't think I would enjoy it all that much but I have found myself loving it! The students that I casted to be in the play are absolutly amazing and because they are so enthusiastic, I am the same way. Of course there are frustrations and trying to find practice times, getting everyone there and moving on when someone goofs up! The funniest frustration of all has to be that I had to write a letter to the head honcho of One Act Plays in Austin asking permission for 3 of my cast members to leave early from the competion because they must go show their chickens and goats at the Livestock Show! Yes, they will be able to do the entire play but must leave immediately afterwards and will not be around for the judges ruling!

I am sorry for not posting a new blog sooner! I will have to update you on the progress of the play and any funny stories that occur!

Until next time, I hope you are all doing well!

We love you all!
