My crippled husband

Last weekend Tommy participated in a Black Pot Cookoff in our home town. We had a great time and he won first place in the pork division!! As part of the prize he won a small black pot filled with local seasoning and items. He decided he wanted to “show off” his prize to the guy at the fire station, so Monday morning he brought the pot with him to work. Well as he was taking it out of his truck and placing it on a table he back went out. We had to use the wall to stand back up. He went to the doctor Tuesday and luckily he said it was just a pulled muscle that was hitting a nerve. I was just happy it wasn’t a herniated disk or something worst that required surgery. Poor thing has been home and in pain all week. The first few days he could barely walk or get up from the couch. It has slowly been getting better. He decided last night to try going to work today. I hope he doesn’t hurt it even more. He’s only 25 years old, I told him he’s going to be crippled and need a walker by the time he’s 30. :-)

He’s off the rest of the weekend and hopefully I can convince him to start looking at baby furniture. He thinks we have to wait until we know the gender before we can pick a crib. I want to get the furniture picked out that way once we know the gender I can go crazy with picking out bedding, decorations, etc!! We have a doctor’s appt on November 6th where we will hear the heartbeat again and schedule our appt for the ultrasound sometime in early December…that’s going to make for a wonderful Christmas. Speaking of the Christmas season, I have been so excited about going shopping on Black Friday. We’ve gone the last 3 or 4 years and I can’t wait to do it again. I already signed up on the Black Friday ads website and I’m waiting to receive email when they post new ads! I hope everyone has a great weekend!! GEAUX TIGERS!

We won!

The fire department (really just a few of the firemen from the fire dept) participated in a Brisket Cook off this past Saturday. And they won...well they didn't win the brisket cookoff but they did win the drinking contest! I think we drank over 200 beers...needless to say we had a great time.

My weekend was pretty busy this weekend. Friday I took my niece to see a movie and we had lunch and snowballs in the park and enjoyed the beautiful day! I think she had a really good time. She was falling asleep on the way back so I know she was worn out. Then Saturday we spent all day at the cookoff and then went 4 wheeler riding that night. That was a blast. I covered from head to toe in mud. And Sunday we took it easy and did a few things around the house. It was nice to just be able to relax and not be rushed the day before I go back to work.



Our TV has been at the repair shop for the past weekend so our house is so quite right now. It's amazing how much you actually miss your TV when you don't have one. We usually just have it on and don't even watch it. Just the noise is what I miss. And the fact that I couldn't watch the LSU baseball game. So hopefully we will have it back tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed.
