How 'Bout them Cowboys!

If you are not a Dallas Cowboys fan or a Texan, you probably think that was poor grammar, but it wasn't...at least for those who want to root for America's Team!

Now this is something worth getting excited for:

The Cocky Celebrity



The Long Haired Running Back



The Cute QB who has a Hollywood Girlfriend with roots in Texas



The One thing that could keep Romo distracted enough to not get past the first round of playoffs again this year!....here's hoping she doesn't ruin it for us!

P.S. Hey Jessica, the cowboys colors aren't Pink and White...get a real jersey if you want to root for them, please!

Exceeded my expectations...

I love it when this happens...most of the time, it has to do with doing something for the first time or fulfilling a dream I have had as a little girl! This isn't the first time this has happened to me: my first ride on a bicycle all by myself; cheering at my first high school football game senior year; my first week of college; graduating from seminary; my last 3 years living in Charlotte; going to the US Open can now be added to that list. All exceeded the expectations I had leading up to them. If you know me, you know that I tend to set my expectations low so that I can try to avoid alot of disappointment. But for this particular trip, having a year to think and dream about this little weekend, my expectations were unusually high and it STILL exceeded them! I won't bore you with every little detail (there are lots)...much like the city we were in...we slept very little...but here are some highlights:

-2 Days at the US OPEN (one night session with James Blake and Mardy Fish and one day session watching tons of matches)

-1 night out to dinner to Ash's favorite Tapas restaurant called Pipa

-1 Off-Broadway Show called “Altar Boyz” – hilarious

-1 All American Rejects concert

-1 walk on the Brooklyn Bridge

-Multiple Subway rides through the city

-1 Coach purse purchased in China Town

-Many many miles walked through the city (including a 4 mile walk through Harlem – funny story…)

-1 Ferry Ride from Randall’s Island
