Football and the Weekend!

Woo-hoo I have NFL Network!  I knew I would love having it again!  My previous cable company here in big D didn't offer NFL Network so I've been living without for 3 long years.  It's been somewhat painful too!  So glad I now have it especially since this season the NFL Network will have Thursday night games starting week 2.  So for the entire season this year there will be Thursday night games as opposed to previous years where Thursday night games don't start until December(after college football ends).  Typically college football has a feature game each Thursday night, this will be interesting to see the NFL and college football going head to head on the most popular TV night! 

While tuning into a bit of the Cardinals game last night I couldn't help but notice all that lovely red!  The background behind the goal post has black, red, and white.  I had to take the opportunity to tease my fiancé about us having black, red, and white as our wedding colors.  Oh and I threw in the suggestion of cardinal birds on the cake!  He laughed it off with a simple reply that we have to include gold!  Gold would of course represent the Cardinal's beak. Ha! Ha! Actually though I have come to realize in all my wedding colors research that black, red, and white is a fairly popular choice for 2012 weddings. 

The Texas Tennis Open started yesterday.  We likely won't make it to any matches until Monday.  I'm not sure which days I'll end up going but my fiancé hopes to go every day of next week.  The matches start late in the afternoon and go until 10 or 11 at night. The Tennis Open will be our nightly entertainment come the new week!

I think we've had more than our fair share of rain for August.  Kind of odd that August has featured thunderstorms.  The other night while my mom was still in town we had a super noisy storm that roared all night long.  When I tried to take the pugs out one at a time in the rain.  Each pug got to the bottom of the stairs looked around then decided to quickly run back upstairs.  I guess neither of them had to go that bad to brave the storm!  More rain due in tonight and tomorrow.  The forecast calls for a real soaker!  We'll see!

We recently realized we haven't watched a movie in about 3 weeks.  Which is out of the ordinary for us! The Olympics and playing Kinect games when my mom was here took up most of our evenings.  This weekend we will try to fit in a little movie watching!
