Our Very Own NBA Team

So Last night I went to our First ever Pre-season NBA Home game. It was quite the thrill to see Professional Basketball players up close. In fact I was just about on the floor with the seats that I got. The only reason why I got this ticket was that our bosses bought 9 tickets. 4-2 ticktes and a single ticket. This is from the bank. I happen to have won the single ticket but i tried to get another one so that Laura could go with me. Our team's name is Oklahoma City Thunder. It is a little odd but it is catching on. We only lost by 2 points. The final score was 90-88. We played the L.A Clippers. The game was very good it wasn't until after half time that the crowd started to get into the game. Yes even me... Although most people were drinking I was not. It was, needless to say, a very good game. I hope that i will be able to win more tickets to be able to go to more home games.

Just to let you know I had to leave my MacroEconomics class in order to go. I got my test that I took last week and I scored an 88% on it. It is better than the 56% that I scored on my first test. My accounting class I have an A the other two classes I am unsure about. Other than that things are going good.

We have moved into an apartment that is closer to the college that I am going to. Her parents have moved upstairs so that they can finish the downstairs to get the house ready to sell. So the little house that we were living in they are going to be moving into with Halen.

Laura and ella are doing good. Ella is walking all over the place. We have to keep a close eye on her or she goes into the kitchen and get everything out of the cupboards. Laura is doing good in her new calling. Her calling is in the YW with the Behives, she is gone for Mutual so i get the house for a little bit. So far she is liking her calling.


Tell you more later.

School

Well school has started once again. I am going to school Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thrus. I have had my first test already under my belt. It was on my accounting class which is on Wed. I scored a 97% on it. Regardless I am very excited. In two weeks we have another test and I want to score good on that so a bunch of us is going to get together next week and study.

My Monday class is Intro to Banking. Tuesday is MacroEconomics. Wednesday is Accounting 1. Thursday is Personal Finance. Yes I am still working at Chilis and we now have discount cards. To where we can go to any Chilis and and resturant owned by Brinker like On the Border and get a discount. We also get a 16% discount on our phones too.

We started looking at apartments to move into. As her parents are going to be selling the house here. The big house. They are trying to get it fixed up and then probably going to sell it around spring time. So we are looking at houses close to Oklahoma City Community College, or the downtown area. We went out looking yesterday at a couple of them and found ones that were really nice. It is right by the college and they are pretty nice on the outside and on the Inside. They lady said that they are going to be having a downstairs 2 bedroom 2 bath with a fireplace opening up the first of October. We will be taking pictures of the place when we get in there. Needless to say this is a good step in the right direction. We have been with her parents for a while now and we need to get out on our own.

Love you guys lots. Hope to see you at Christmas.

Ella's birthday was fun we had 2 cakes for her. One Laura made and the other we got at Wal mart. Had a fun family gathering on her birthday and then on Saturday had a party for her with people from the ward. She got a lot of presents. Everyone there had a blast. A day before her birthday we did pictures of Ella and we got our family pictures also this time. Don't worry you will all be able to see them. We are trying to get them loaded onto our computer and then onto our Blog.

Ella's Birthday Party

#4 Painting

One day I had gotten home from work early and was playing with Ella when Laura had a good idea for Halen to do as we watch him in the mornings. We decided to paint pictures. Don't worry they were not toxic and were ok to play with. we cut a piece of paper for ella to do some paintings and well....you have to see the pictures. These pictures are worth a thousand words. Hope you enjoy them. Ella had a fun time doing it. As you can tell she got paint everywhere.

#3 Whitewater Bay

I know that it is hard to see, but a while back Laura went with Halen, her brother, mom and Ella to White water Bay. This was Ella's first water day and from what I heard she had a blast. She even fell asleep in her tube a little before they were about to leave. To say the least I wasn't able to go but I might be going soon. I hope that All your pool parties are going to be fun and hope everything is a blast.
