Bi-District Champs

The Carthage Lady Dawgs won their first round of playoffs last night! The game was super easy.  Two of the games the opponent didn't get passed 6 points...easy! Now this next round will be much harder.  Since I've been married to Leven he hasn't gotten past this 1st round of play offs.  He ALWAYS wins district and has pretty much always won that first round of play offs.  But the second round is a tough one and he just never wins.  He has come close....very close...like nail bitin' close....but is always short.  Tonight he is driving to Waco to scout the two teams that he will be playing next.  It will be either Fairfield or Gatesville.  And both of these teams he has a really good chance of beating.  We have played tougher teams this year.  Our girls must stay focused and be ready to play.  If Gatesville wins (which Leven predicts) then we will play them in Corsicana on Thursday at 8:00.  Talk about a LATE game.  I'm still trying to figure out the arrangements for the girls.  No way can they come to the game.  We probably won't be home until after midnight.  And I don't want to drive alone so my parents will probably make the drive with me.  But it all depends on who wins tonight.  It would be awesome if it's an upset and Fairfield wins! Fingers crossed!

 

The sickness is finally going away from the house.  Taydem is much better and Tenlee is getting there.  Let's just say Tenlee hates when I wipe her nose.  She gets that LEFT hand swinging at me.  But I can't stand a nasty nose. 

 

We got our house plans back last week! And right now I'm working with the bank on finishing up the construction loan.  We are almost there.  I seriously worked it out perfect.  When Leven is done with volleyball we will be ready to rock n roll! I am so excited about this house.  I am going to try my best to stay way under on our loan.  That's my goal.  How cheap can I build this but make it still look beautiful! I say "cheap", but I mean- I'm going to try my best to get the best prices, the best bids, etc. 

 

Here's a few new pictures of what I'm liking for the house:

 

I love this for the exterior of our house.  The dark trim, the color of the roof, we won't have much stone so this is perfect and I like the color brick. 

But we have a really big front porch with 4 columns.

 I love this kitchen.  We are going with the light cabinets, but our island will be a grey/blue color instead.  The brick is beautiful.

 This will be somewhat like our built in for our media/2nd living room.  Except on top I will leave a space to put Leven's volleyball trophies going all the way across.
