George Strait and other happenings

So Friday was the George Strait concert at Pizza Hut in Frisco. I had an absolute blast at the concert and even went to IKEA before hand since I was in the area. At IKEA I bought a new shelf unit for $35 that I will use as my entertainment center when I move in August.

I have to say that I was kinda opposed to all the good concerts being in Frisco since it's quite a ways from my house, but now that I have been to the venue I actually like it. We had seating on the field which is like lawn seating with chairs but in the middle of the venue instead of at the back. The venue had good views of the stage, and beer and restrooms were readily accessible.

On Saturday my mother came over to the house and we fired up the Bar-B- Q cooking chicken and pork chops. Mom stayed until Monday morning, and we didn't really do anything except hang out in the house watching movies and eating. That is my ideal memorial day weekend. Hanging out with my mom eating good food and watching movies.

Monday was spent cleaning house and doing laundry, and today it's back to work. Hope your weekend was a good as mine.

Nothing super exciting to post today other than the George Strait concert is this Friday. It is at the Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, which is a venue I have never been to before. Apparently it is the new place to have all the current concerts, and Kenny Chesney is also scheduled to be there July 22nd. This will give Jessica and I an opportunity to scope out good picture taking locations when we go see Kenny. In other news, this weekend was good as I spent it sorting through and getting rid of various papers , doing laundry, getting the car washed and oil changed, and the weekly trip to the land of Wal-mart. Wednesday I am meeting Kristin and the kids for a belated birthday lunch and probably a movie.

Hope everyone has a good week.

It's Official

Grades were posted yesterday and I got a "B" on my final paper. A "B" is good but I had A's in everything else and would have liked to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. As it stands my GPA is 3.889. Oh well, I'll live with the "B". I am officially finished with school and I am so happy. A WOOHOO.

I am going to have a post graduation and birthday get together on June 17th @ 7pm at Dave and Buster's in Dallas. Mark your calendar's now. I'll be sending out invitations later.

Later

So this is me, Ryan and Hunter at Texas Motor Speedway in Victory Lane. We went to the Laps for Charity where you pay to drive your own car around the race track. I have to say that we have a BLAST! It was so much fun. We got up to 83 miles per hour on the turns. There were several car clubs there with a variety of cars such as corvette's, mustang's, mini cars, and we even saw a porche. I would definitely recommend this event to any NASCAR enthusiast or people who like to drive fast.

Drive Your Car at "Laps for Charity"

How would you like to drive the banks of Texas Motor Speedway? For just a $25 donation to Speedway Children's Charities on Saturday, May 13th from 5pm to 10pm you can drive your own car at The Great American Speedway. No reservations are necessary. Cars will be placed on the track in groups of 12 to 16 cars for three full laps per session. For more information visit:

I will be there with my young friend Ryan to drive the Ford Escape around the track. Stay tuned for pictures from victory lane.

Follow the Leader

Well, since some of my friends have decided to become Xanga traitors I figured I would also try out blogspot. We'll see if my new blog has more visitors.

This week is offically the last week of the spring semester at UTA. I have finished my internship and my final paper. Tomorrow is graduation but I have decided not to walk because I really only care about the diploma. I wonder how long it takes UTA to mail you your diploma?

The last week of May I will finally be able to switch back to a normal 5 day work week instead of this 4 ten hour day thing I have been working since August. It's just in time because I don't think I can stand the whole starting work at 7am anymore.

Hope everyone has a good Day!
