Yes, it's true...I wore BLUE

For the RECORD: I am a Arizona Cardinals Fan by CHOICE. I love my birds and would never ever put anyone above them in the game of sports. I have been a fan for the past 23 years, and I will always love them...even when they go 4 and 12 for the season. But, I also enjoy watching and cheering for The Dallas Cowboys...(by default--since I am married to a "Texan") when they aren't playing my Cardinals. However, this entry is about the Cowboys, so let me get focused....Okay, so as we all know that the Infamous "Texas Stadium" saw it's last Cowboys game last year and lo' and behold' the Cowboys have since moved into the the state-of-the-art "refined" Texas Stadium in the historic town of Arlington. History was made as the "boys" first game was played on Friday, August 21st. And what would a Cowboy's game be without the Kingcannons? Yah right...J/K! Well, considering that David is a die-hard fan and wanted to be a part of "history" I agreed to fly out Friday to partake in the festivities, and I am glad we did! This stadium makes the "Birds Nest" (aka University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals) look like a Toaster! The Cowboys new home has all the "fix ins" to make any event memorable, they were definitely thinking "TEXAS SIZE" when they created this dome. I was most shocked to see plasma tv's every 2 feet. I mean c'mon...even the concession menus were displayed on flat screens! It was surly a sight to see. David and I had a spot in the "party pack" where you stand the whole time watching all the drunks get crazy...you know, typical NFL atmosphere. Overall the game was great...except for the ball hitting the 60-yard video screen a few times...oh and the minimum price of $20.00 for parking that you pay prior to the 2 mile walk before you step foot in the stadium...oh yah, and they loss...Good thing it was pre-season right! However, I can't complain...as the hubby said "We can tell our kiddies one day that mommy and daddy were there". O boy!



Oh, and don't think we went to Dallas just to see "History". We also had some family time too! We were bestowed the lovely company of David's Aunt Kathy, who welcomed us in her home for the weekend. Debbie was also visiting her baby sister (Kathy) that weekend so together we had an amazing time. We ate delicious food, saw old friends, and played "wii" until the wee hours of the night.

Those that don't know...I would move to Dallas IN A HEARTBEAT. It is by far my favorite city! Cedar Hill (quaint suburb in Dallas) is the one town that I have visited that I can picture our kids one day tricker-treating down the sidewalk, peaking out the window on a snowy day, or playing in the sprinklers in the front yard at summer time. It has such a "family" feel to it and is so cozy! I love it and will be happy to visit (and move...hehehe) anytime!

It's A Family Affair!

Just last weekend, David and I had a chance to visit his Dad and the rest of the family again in David's birthplace of Denver, CO. David Sr.'s church was hosting a revival, so we had the opportunity to fly up and meet them for few days while they were in town (oh the benefits of flying for free). David was also able to re-unite with cousins that he hasn't seen since grade school, explore the Colorado Rockies, and have have some catch up time with the family. The Kingcannon's are truly amazing and once again I am so glad that the Lord brought us together.

Powell Wedding

David and I also just got back from a wonderful vacation on the lovely Carnival Fun Ship which cruised to beautiful Cozumel, Mexico. We had a blast and most importantly had the privilege to witness Brooke and Chad exchange wedding vows. The ship was as usual incredible and we met a ton of wonderful people along the way. The wedding ceremony was on the beaches of Cozumel and was breath-taking. Chad and Brooke are truly in love and we wish them many blessings throughout their life with one another.
