Fathers Day 09 with Ricci Sr.

On fathers day this year we decided to go so my father in-law in Vidor. We went to Ricci's aunt and uncle to eat BBQ. We also got to see the kids that we haven't gotten to see in three years. It was so nice to see the family. While we were in town we went to the Vidor Fire Department. This is a new station as they lost the old station to hurrican Rita. It was nice to meet the members that were on location and to get a outstanding tour. As most of you know we lost our station to hurricane Ike in San Leon. We are currently rebuilding but it good to see how far another station has come and what we have to look forward too.

Here we come Alvin Express!

Tyler has officially made the 9U Alvin Express baseball team. He has been trying out with the team for a few weeks and they really like him. He is a great pitcher and all around player. This is a select baseball team that spends many hours playing baseball and you have to be good to make it. Congrats Ty. Aunt Lisa and Uncle Ricci are very proud!!!!!

Offshore fishing!

So Ricci and I went offshore fishing with his company and it wasn't what I expected. I wore a patch just in case I would get sea sick because I have never done this. I fish on my dads boat and never have a problem. The seas were really rough June 11. We went out about 2 hours and couldn't go any further because the seas were like 5 to 6 ft high. The whole 2 hours out I layed my head on a table trying to keep my stomach inside. When the captain came over the loud speaker he said that we had to turn around and go back becuase it was to rough. As soon as he said that and the boat slowed down enough I was able to make it to the back of the boat just in time. I was sick the whole way back (all 2 hours back). Then to top it off they decided to make hamburgers on the way back which the smell made me sicker. They have reset the date to go back out and I WILL NOT be back on that boat. This picture is me on the back of the boat.

Before marriage

I thought I would tell everyone how Ricci and I met. Back in 2001 my bestfriend Becky and I went to a club in Pasadena. At that time her and I always went to Graham Central Station every Saturday night. We were both single (I was in and out of a bad relationship) and always had a good time when we went out. Out of know where one night she said she had someone that she would like me to meet. So she called Ricci and he dropped what he was doing and met us up there. We danced for the last few hours and we traded numbers. We talked all the time on the phone. He actually taught classes at Bushi Ban so that he could train there. Every Saturday night I would see him before Becky and I would go out. We started dating in September of 2002 and on Christmas day he proposed to me and I said yes. We were married on July 19th 2003 and it has been the best years of my life.
