Houston
Right now I'm supposed to be catching up on my reading for Foundations of Education, but I decided to blog about our trip to Houston. :P
We went to Houston last weekend to see some friends of ours and it was awesome! Evan and I had an amazing time. We got out there late Thursday night and went straight to our hotel at the Embassy. They had swans in the lobby..I thought it was neat.
On Friday we went to the Galleria it made the Galleria in Birmingham look pitiful. I was in heaven. I mean wow all my favorite places under one roof. Plus, stores I have never even heard of! AmAzInG! This mall was so big you could easily get lost in it. I couldn't even image what the day after Thanksgiving shopping must be like.. WOW. Later that day, Neil took Evan and I out on a boat from his boat club. It was alot of fun! That night Sara and Neil, took us out to dinner at the Reef. Great food! YUM!
Saturday, we lounged around at the pool! It was great getting some sun! That evening we went to a wedding for Karl and Tara. It was beautiful and had some pretty tasty food.
Sunday, Neil prepared a wonderful breakfast before sending us on our way to the airport. Of course, we can't go anywhere without something happening... On our way to the airport we stopped at a gas station. As we are less than 2 miles from the rental car drop off and 1 hour till departure....OUR TIRE HAS A BLOWOUT! Talk about being MAD! I thought we were going to miss our flight and be stuck in the airport till the next flight. AND THEN we almost got mugged two different times from two different people! ScArY! Evan was like...Katherine GO SIT IN THE CAR!
I have to say thank goodness Evan was there because I would have been a basket case! I also have to say he can change a tire pretty quick!! :) Then when we get to the rental place it takes what seems to be FOREVER because we have to fill out the paper work...
Go figure check-in and security was extremely packed. Boy we were sweating bullets because by the time we got to security we had only 15 minutes till our plane left! AHHH! So, we get finished with security and run all the way to the gate. Which of course has to be the next to last gate... PHEW! We made it as they were boarding our group on the plane!! AWESOME! At this point I was convinced that our luggage would not make it. However, to my dismay our bags were pretty much the first off the plane.

Summer Nights...Thoose Summmer NiiiiGHHHHHHTSS
Wahhhoooo for no working...at school!!! Don't worry I'm not being a completely lazy bum. Evan wouldn't let me just do nothing. BUT I do have to say I have caught up on some sleep and some much needed shopping. :) I also have been somewhat busy with my two summer online courses. One course is super fun because its about teaching reading which I teach for most of the day! However, the other course I am taking is not hard, but its just hard for me to get motivated to read about. I mean geez, I LOVE reading textbook fine print everyday about the foundations of education! :P
Switching gears here. Dinner is like the most important time of the day to me because I get to sit down with my love, talk about our day, and eat! Tonight we had an amazing dinner! We had steaks, veggie kabobs, bread, salad, and scalloped potatoes. I just have to say I am one heck of a griller! YUM. I love to cook, and I would cook more often if Evan was at home continuously. It's just hard to cook for one person and I am not big on leftovers. I mean who really is big on leftovers. YUCK. If you eat the same food more than twice in a row you cooked way too much. Evan doesn't understand why I don't particularly like left overs. I like fresh food not heated up old food. I need variety. I am just saying Evan, I don't see you taking your "leftovers" to lunch....(love you hunnie)
I am SO excited about going to Houston TOMORROW! I even bought a new party dress and everything! So, I hope all you Texasans are down with the get down...
I am seriously debating on wearing ALL Alabama Crimson Tide clothing the entire time we are there... OR maybe when we land on the tar mat I should just start singing..... dunh dunh dunh.....na nuh heyyyyyyyyyyy longhorns....
Let's take a stroll down memory lane...

Look out Bill Dance the Osmers' are going Pro!
This weekend was absolutely AWESOME! I got to see some great friends and spend time with some of our family!!
Finally, after 8 LONG years..... I caught a fish! A REAL BIG FISH! The first night at the lake house I caught a small bass about 1 1/2 lbs. On Saturday, I caught a 6-7 lbs catfish! I was ecstatic! I definitely know why people love to fish! It is definitely a rush pulling in a huge fish. I mean I have been deep sea fishing, but I only caught a little red snapper, so there wasn't much fight in that fish. However, this catfish was a different story it did NOT want to be caught. That turd was MEAN.
So after a while of being the biggest fisherman on the pier, you know Evan and Nick just had to out do me. Well, I am here to tell you they did just that. My REAL BIG FISH turned into a REAL WIMPY FISH real quick. They caught a 33 lbs catfish! Later, Kelly caught a 5-6lbs bass. Even Janice caught a nice bass! After that, my dad caught not 1 but 3 freaking bass on a flipping 30 year old wood fishing lour! Talk about wearing them out! This weekend was some of the best fishing that has EVER happened at the lake house when I was around! We also caught a mess of crappie and blue gills too!
You think that's all that went down??!?!?!! Not quite! You know it wouldn't be any fun without some OSMER DRAMA! Haha. First, we have some GREAT drama news! Blair and Laura are having a BOY!!! Wahhoooo!! We're so excited for them! I am already thinking of some football attire that will look fantastic on that little quarterback!
Okay, now for the DRAMA DRAMA.. So, obviously the lake house in on Lake Guntersville. Well, apparently every freaking redneck knows that our little fishing hole is a hot fishing hole. So, we have been outside ALL day and night for the past two freaking days! Well, some of these wanna be pro fishermen decide they don't want to just fish lake Guntersville they want to fish exactly where we are fishing! I am not telling it either! I was on OUR pier minding my own business when I felt something knock up against the pier on the other side....which is only a few inches from my body. Well, I turn around and two stupid boys are in their $30,000 bass boat fishing right on our dock!! Can you believe the nerve? I told them, "If you hook me with your line, you will be sorry that you did". So, they moved on but not far. They moved to the other side of the freaking pier which would have been okay if I wasn't FISHING ON THAT SIDE. Oh just wait it gets better....
So, my dad threw his line over where I am... He's like WHOO I caught another fish! NOPE... **BLEEP*** I caught a sorry fisherman!! So, my dad reeled in his line and the stupid man's line. Then I chimed in with just cut his line because I mean really what was he thinking?!?!
Then it started.... You know the saga we have been through once before on land.. Don't you don't talk *BLEEP* to me on my pier....
These aren't quoted exactly, but you get the gist of how it went down:
Fisherman: Well *BLEEPER* you don't own the *BLEEPIN* water...
Evan: No, and you don't either, but at least I have enough common respect among others not to throw my rod within a cast length of someones' other line!
Fisherman: It ain't no big deal. (My thoughts: Do what? Yes it is! Freaking hilbilly!)
Evan: It is a big *BLEEPING* deal. Your being disrespectful and have the ENTIRE LAKE GUNTERSVILLE TO FISH OFF OF. Why did you decide to fish on top of us. I mean *Bleep* we've been out here all day on this pier and your mobile. So go away! (My thoughts: YEA! You tell 'em!! Whoop Whoop +1 for our team!)
**Then my dad hooks him again! HAHAHAHHAHAHA! (I think he did it on purpose! He is a natural instigator!)
Fisherman: You pull my rod in the water and your gonna get it! (My thoughts: Oh really hos, your pretty freaking out numbered!)
Evan: Oh sorry man I didn't know it was yours. (My thoughts: Hmm..not sure about that Evan)
Fisherman: What you gonna do with it?....Eat it? <~~ My thoughts: Really that's all you got? Lame I know!
Evan: "It ain't no BIG DEAL"-- My thoughts: Isn't that what jerk said before?!?!?!
Steve: You boys really looking for trouble??!
Fishermen: **kept quite and left**..... My thoughts: I'd be scared too! Steve's a big man!!
You really didn't think that's all that happened this weekend??!?!
On Monday, I had the BIGGEST BADDEST WALL HANGER FISH EVER hooked on my line. It was AMAZING! I mean this fish was a Guntersville record breaking fish. It was bending my pole in half. I was doing all I could do to keep from going in the water! I was fishing with a plastic worm right next to the boat house. I was about to pull up my rod n reel to cast it out again when suddenly..zzzzz my line went CRAZY! I was like HOLY MOLY! WHERE THE CRAP IS EVAN OR STEVE!?!?!?! Then I realized I was ALONE on the dock! So, I was reeling and pulling. I even kept my freaking rod tip down and everything. I just wasn't strong enough to hoist him up onto the pier. So, Evan came and took the rod from me and began reeling himself. The rod was still bending in half!!!! I told him even when he gets it back to the pier that I get to claim it because I am the one who caught it!
This is when the story goes sour...for me that is... :( The whopper wrapped around the boathouse. Steve had to get into the boat to try to get him undone. Well, when he started to grab it the dang fish got off! I was like BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This is completely unfair and unjust! WHY ME!?!?! I just new that was my ticket to go on tour with pro fishermen! Okay maybe a little bit of exaggeration. Well, at least my picture could have been hung up at bass pro or something! BAHHHH!!!! I mean the stupid fish BENT THE METAL HOOK! UGHHH! I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching...
Oh well! I still had a fabulous time! During all of this fishing I did get some great sun!! Also, Evan makes the best fresh fruit drinks EVER, so that definitely eased the pain of loosing the biggest baddest freaking fish Lake Guntersville ever produced. Next time, it will be a different story. Stupid fish better watch your back!
