Wynonna

Brett won tickets on the radio for us to go to the Opry and then backstage with Wynonna. We had a great time. The Opry is kind of a joke between us. Brett would go every single night if he could and I on the other hand, well.....let's just say that I'm not quite as into it as Brett is. There are some nights when I have no clue who any of the artists are, but Brett always knows ALL of them.

This was one of the really good nights at the Opry; not only was Wynonna there, but also Trace Adkins, Martina McBride and Lee Greenwood. I know some of you are thinking that Lee Greenwood doesn't fit in with the others, but I've got to disagree. Hearing Lee Greenwood sing "God Bless the U.S.A. " was absolutely amazing! The best part about it was we weren't on a boat at Lake Berryessa....My parents and sister will completely understand what I mean by that:-)

Now mind you, I've never been a big Wynonna fan either, but what a voice that woman has! I think hearing her in person may have changed my mind about her. Brett also won her CD so I've been listening to it on my commute and I had no clue just how versatile she was.

I also have to mention the shoes incident. Brett got new sandals a couple months back and rarely wears them but when he does, he's like a little kid making sure I notice that he's wearing his new shoes. The first thing Wynonna said to us was that Brett was sure proud of his new shoes. I just lost it and started laughing. Poor Wynonna had no idea why I thought it was so funny so she looked at me and asked, "What are you laughing at?". I had to tell her that she was so right on about Brett being proud of his shoes. This was one of those times when you really had to be there to understand why it was so funny.

We got a Wii!

Okay, I have to admit, I never would have thought that we would purchase a Wii, but now that we have.....it's addicting! And don't our Mii's look cute:-)

What a blast to be able to play tennis in your living room and when you start to get all hot & sweaty, you just turn up the a/c. Humidity- what's that? I think I can get used to this. And bowling....well, let's just say the competition is on. Brett & I have a bowlathon just about every night.

Now we can't wait to get the Wii fit and Rock Band, but let's just say that July was a very fun (ie. $$) month, so we're going to have to wait until September. Hey, hopefully by then, I'll have my gold medal in tennis, have beat Brett's high bowling score of 238 and be ready for our next challenge.

Maybe this is a sort of mid life crisis? Seeing how it is the first video game we've owned since playing pong on Atari and at that time, I was still sharing a bedroom with my little brother. But who cares? I mean even if it is, it's a heck of a lot better than seeing Brett drive through town with his shirt off in a new corvette!
