arena football league

me, jeanette and the boys are going with some friends to a dallas desparados football game this weekend. as big a sports fan as i am, especially football, i have still never even watched an entire arena football game. a friend of ours that we went to college with is also a farm bureau agent, he lives over in marshall, and he scored us some tickets. this is going to be so much fun! i really do hope that we are able to survive the weekend with the boys though. this will be the first time that we have been away from home for a weekend with the boys and i have to say that i'm a little nervous. carson is just now starting to be more comfortable around people that he doesn't know and jackson can kind of be hit and miss with his naps and his eating habits. if nothing else, at least we'll be able to get out of the house for a couple of days and have a little fun. man, i really do love my life...

weather

we had this ridiculous hail storm last night like i have never seen before. being in the insurance business now you really look at storms in a completely different way. i use to love a nice rainy night with a big thunderstorm because it helped me sleep good. now, any time the sky starts clouding up i just cringe. i fielded calls all day today for claims and it was exhausting. insurance is one of those things that you never want to use but you're really glad you have it when you need it. you just better make sure that you have a good company that pays claims good. lucky for me i can proudly say that there is only one other company that pays claims almost as good as us...too bad for them their rates are ridiculously higher than ours. anyway, hopefully the weather has passed and we won't be seeing any more like that for some time.
