Exciting News, Fall Out Boy Concert, Exciting News, "December 'Round the World", exciting news, new toys, and EXCITING news

What is the exciting news you say? Well ... I'm going to make you read the other news first. :)

Fall Out Boy was yet again another good concert, but not as fun as the last one. I'm not a huge rock-n-roll fan ... or even pop music ... but I was blown away with their last tour in June that I was excited to go again last week. Bad news was that the bass guitar player broke his foot on stage before getting to Denver, so it made the concert not as exciting. The electric and bass guitar players were the best parts of the show; they would do 360 degree turns while playing their guitars! No one was spinning at this concert. The other reason I didn't like it as well as the last one was because it was inside ... I love being outside; but I'm also glad we didn't have to sit outside in the 20 degree weather! The set was fun. Here is a picture of the opening set.

I am finished with one of three elementary music programs. The fourth grade classes performed a program called "December 'Round the World". I ran the program differently than the previous years' music teachers, but all my 4th grade teachers and helpers really pulled it off! I was told by my assistant Principal that it was the best program he's ever seen. :) YEAH! Thanks to all that helped and the hard work those 4th graders put into it. Next up: December 11th "Santa, You've Got Mail" by the 5th grade classes and December 19th "December in Our Town" by the 3rd grade classes.

We have added many new toys to our entertainment room downstairs. This is a picture of our new billiards table my husband likes to beat me at. Also pictured is Zack and I getting ready to watch a movie in our theatre room that was finished by our former houseguests while we were in California. (Sorry it took me so long to post a pic!) Fletch has also put up the dart board and updated our theatre room. We now have a 1080 projector and a PS3 which was bought mainly for the blu-ray disc format primarily. If you haven't stopped by yet, feel free to show up anytime! We love having visitors!

Okay, okay ... if you've skipped down to this part, you are a bad-head! You must read the other parts after I reveal the exciting news you've all been waiting for. Are you sitting down? Are you ready for this???

I'M GOING TO BE AN AUNT!!!! WOO-HOO!!!

My darling younger brother called me to see what our travel plans are for the summer and told me we may want to stop by St. Louis to meet my future nephew/niece in July. Tahli is about 11 weeks now? I can't remember. Hopefully they'll comment soon. Boy, oh boy, the pressure is finally off Greg and I to give mom her first grandchild. Whew. Thanks, Tahli! You're the best. :) (Kim, you're next).
