Ladies, I think I’ve officially got myself in over my head with Will.

Will loves sports. I’ve said it a million times in this blog. He loves every kind and has a million sites he must visit everyday to keep up on what is going on. Its more of an addiction than a hobby. Well, here comes August again, the month I have started to dread. Fantasy Draft. Here we go. I’m “single“ until the Super Bowl- but then basketball starts so its kind of a year round thing.

The movie Fever Pitch is a good way to equivilate Will’s love for OU and NFL football. He loves these two things like Jimmy Fallon loves the Red Sox.  I enjoy watching games with him, but his fantasy stuff is a whole different world with strange words and points and the longest draft of your life.

Will is in a keeper league, which means he can stay in the same league with the same guys as long as he wants. This is his second year in this one. He also joined another keeper league with higher stakes and better prizes. That’s TWO. And because he is in two leagues, the site gave him one free… that’s right girls. Three leagues for sure, and hes considering a fourth.

What’s a wife to do? I decided I didn’t want to become a sports widow again so I mentioned that it might be fun for us to do one of his leagues together, as a team. At first he was leery and not too excited because he figured I wouldn’t take it seriously. I told him I would and now I’m in trouble.

I’ll fess up. Here’s my confession. I really didn’t plan on getting overly serious about being in this league with him. I just thought it would be fun to pick names that sounded familiar and root for the guys when they played each week. Ha. Today Will brought me my very own $10 fantasy draft magazine so I could do- and I quote- “research.” There you have it.

I really figured I would just look over his shoulder with a supportive smile and say, “Will, that was a great pick!” or, “Our team is really great, huh?” as he set up the rosters for the week. I was looking more for an encouraging, show up for game day role. He is not.

He was actually pretty excited that I wanted to do this with him, which got me excited because I know how much this stuff means to him. I have absolutely no idea what to do with this magazine and I have no idea how to break down and compare stats, but by golly I’m going to try!

I even tried to get Will to change our team’s name to the Storming Soonerettes (goofy, I know), but he didn’t want to go that far- afterall he is playing with the guys . We wouldn’t want them to know that a GIRL is helping her husband in a league, right?

So, this is quite a challenge I’m taking under and i’m not sure how I’m going to hang, but what a trip it will be.

Will and I had a really nice weekend. It was the first weekend I had “gone out” besides to school and work, so it felt good.

My husband is a OU fanatic. I know other women think their husbands are major sports fans, but Will is one of the biggest OU fans I have seen. The team’s first scrimmage was this weekend, and he has been looking forward to it for months. He has the practice schedule up on the fridge with the public practices highlighted. Well, we decided to go to the scrimmage. We had a great time!

We left early and got up there areound 9:45. We got excellent seats- 50 yard line… that is the ONLY time we will ever be in the OU stadium and have such great seats! Our season tickets are in the endzone behind the goal post- but at least we are in the stadium and not on the waiting list…

Anyway, Will gets so funny when it comes to anything OU- especially football. He acts like a little kid- all smiley and giggly. He kept hugging on me anytime something good would happen- and then he has this annoying tendency to slap me on the butt anytime one of his favorite players do something great… how lovely for me. It just cracks me up. So, needless to say- my rear was sore by the time everything was over. I’m sure you all wanted to know that, but it just cracks me up how he totally turns into this hyperactive child with silly ways of outletting his energy!

After the scrimmage, we went to Teds! It is a really good mexican restaurant in Oklahona City. It was sooo good! It was just such a fun and special day. Its funny, but I really think that over this past month, with my surgery, Will and I have gotten closer than I ever thought possible. I guess having to fully rely on a person to totally take care of you really brought us closer together. So, in that way, my surgery was actually a blessing!

Not too much else going on! Everything has really picked up as I prepare for graduation… AGH! What a scary thought. I guess I save that stuff for a later post!

More to come in our full of love life! HAve a great day

It doesn’t seem like it should be Monday already. Me weekend was great, I would have liked another day! Our trip was fun. It was nice for Will and I to get out of town and do something together. Lately, our dates have consisted of a dollar movie or some terrible movie on TNT or TBS. It was refreshing to spend time talking on the way up there, and being goofy and flirting with eachother. We both agree how important it is for us to “date” eachother, but sometimes we get lazy about it.

Anyway, the game was fun. We had pretty good seats too! I’ve read sooo many blogs about babies lately, so I have to add this side note onto mine. A cute family with their parents and new baby sat in front of us at the game Saturday. The whole time I watched the game, I was also watching that family and laughing to myself. I want a baby’s life! I mean, the kid sneezed and the whole family laughed and thought it was the greatest thing ever. It got uncomfortable and it was pampered in the most tender way. It was so funny to watch that family in amazement- they were talking about “their future doctor” when they referred to the baby! Okay, I can’t make too much fun, because I’m sure I’ll be the same way one day (a long time from now ), but it cracked me up during the entire game.

Anyway, after the game we went to Johnny Carinos. We had never been there, and we thought we would try something different. It was really good! <3 Then… we did a bad thing… and went to the Marble Slab for dessert. I got cinammon icecream with pecans and Will got Reece’s cups with chocolate ice cream. yum! It’s okay to splurge every now and then!

Sunday was pretty normal and busy as usual. At our Sunday evening service we watched the Passion. It was my 3rd time to see it, but the impact and power was the same as the first time. I still get teary eyed at the love Jesus has for us.

So, to sum it up (I could go on with boring details, but for your sainity, I wont )my weekend was good.
