Saturday Night Out!
Hello Dear Reader!
This weekend sure has gone by quickly; thank goodness Benjamin and I both have tomorrow off! YAY!
A few weeks ago we decided to head down to the Allen Americans ticket office and become season ticket holders! We received an awesome deal: 5 games, 4 free tickets, 8 BOGO tickets, 4 tickets to the Stars and a season ticket holder access card that gets us things like 20% off at the gift store, free appetizers at PF Changs and Brio, and more!
This Saturday was our first time to experience an Allen Americans game. This team feeds into the Dallas Stars. A few months ago they opened an event center just up the road that houses the team. For our first outing we invited Kody and Andrea to attend with us.
The evening was fantastic! We saw our friend Tom man the scoring buzzer, I saw a baby with a mullet and while Benjamin and I were getting a pretzel, we saw a man get arrested...and that's not even the game! :) The event center is laid out really well with the whole arena offering that close and personal feel. The team played very well out scoring the Kansas team 4-2!
I am proud to be an Americans fan and am looking forward to the next game!

Congratulations Ben & Samantha!
Props to Noahy J
One of the gifts that Noah bestowed on me was...a SNUGGIE! Yes. Yes. I am a proud owner of a Snuggie! Most evenings that we are on the couch I am snuggled under a blanket with a LuBaby on my lap. I will admit that if Benjamin is not around and the phone rings, its quite a hassle to get out from under the blanket and find the phone. With the Snuggie....my arms are free, but warm! The funny thing is that Noah's Sweetie Salem made Noah a Snuggie for Christmas and gave ones to both Lulu and Jingle! Benjamin...he will not be caught doinganything a Snuggie. But he loves me regardless of the joy I get from wearing my Snuggie!
It's the middle of January!
Here we are. 13 days into January. The month is half over! This week Benjamin resumed classes and the work routine was thrown back into full swing. The evenings have been full of spending time with Benjamin and Lu-baby curled up on the couch playin
g hours of Mario on Wii. The Christmas decorations are still up because it has been freezing cold...too cold to get into the attic and get the boxes down - at least that's what we told ourselves last weekend! The time that we have been able to spend together in the evenings has been fabulous since the anticipation of classwork/house work in the evenings will surely take over our lives shortly.
Since I am still trying to get this blogging/photo sharing down, here is a snipet:
