Poor Stacey, she's at it again. Yesterday, she went to the dentist here in N. Texas after the failed attempt to go 2 weeks ago in E. Texas and had a rough time of it. Under the belief that she was just getting a crown to complete the endodontist work from September, Stacey went in thinking this would be an uneventful visit.
So much for that, we got there and our new dentist shows us the damage to another tooth that we thought only needed a filling. So, we relent and let him start working on it in hopes only a crown would suffice and there wouldn't be a need of a root canal. Wrong again, the good news was the root canal didn't hurt, the bad news was that it was a root canal.
Long story short, four hours later, Stacey ended up with a new crown, root canal, filling, and a permanent crown still to come. Fortunately, we were able to see with photos and X-rays how severe it was, but it was still difficult to swallow.

Busy weekend complete
Wow! It's nice to be back home. No offense to Stacey's family, but I never felt like I rested the entire time I was in East Texas this weekend. Stacey, her nephew- Ryan, and I went to the Alto - Grapeland game on Friday night expecting a good game since both teams were ranked in the top 10. Instead, we witnessed another blowout by the Yellow Jackets and thus keeping their unbeaten record in tact. While I enjoyed attending an event where Stacey works, my poor nephew was bored to tears. Of course being up 40-0 before halftime kinda has that affect.
Saturday, we basically surrounded ourselves with the SFA homecoming events. We were running late and the non-sensical blocking of traffic for the parade made it even worse. Yet, we arrived just as the parade made its way down to where we eventually came to view the parade. From there, we dropped off the kiddos back to their parents and headed out for one of my favorite stops: Butcher Boys. Once again, a pleaser. We went to the game and witnessed SFA fall apart again only to come back and then squander two FG attempts that would have tied or won the game.
Sunday morning, everyone lost shut-eye because of the excitement over the local paper's endoresements were coming out. Once again, my father-in-law was endorsed for the position which he is running for re-election. God willing, there will be a third term. From there, we went to church at Woden and watched the baptistry stay busy. Always an exciting time to see God working in people's lives. We can hope and pray this is just the beginning for these people. From there, we went to another popular hangout: Clear Springs Cafe and of course indulged in onion rings. We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and running errands before I had to trek back to the metroplex.

Go Cowboys, Yellow Jackets, Lumberjacks, Bulldogs, Corndogs, Tigers...
What a week!
It's been crazy for all of us. Stacey attempted a break-neck attempt to finalize her crown only to be delayed by the flooding weather and an uncooperative medical professional. So, a couple of more weeks and she'll finally be done with that part of everything. I'm sure she'll be more than happy to fill you in on the rest of her eventful week when she manages to get online again...
Last weekend, we managed to go to the State Fair of Texas. I must say that I enjoyed it even though it is completely overrun with folks and in an atrocious area to access. I even managed to chomp down on a thingy called a corny-dog, which is known to the rest of the US as a corndog.
Of course, last Sunday was the Cowboys-Texans game at Texas Stadium. Wish I had some pictures to post, but Stacey headed out with the digital camera and has yet to send me the pics. Yet, Stacey mentioned that she learned a valuable lesson, never wear the opposing team's colors in Dallas (not that we did). We hopped a tram to the stadium along with 40-50 more Cowboys fans and they heckled and harrassed every Houston fan they saw on the way. Guess we have to keep the Houston stuff hid while going through Irving from now on. The weather was dreary and rainy and the Cowboys' offense was just as bad in the first half. Fortunately, we sat just under the overhang of the roof and got to see T.O.'s final touchdown happen right in front of us.
The Boys 34- Houston S*(%S 6
This weekend it's off to see Stacey's alma mater, SFA play the McNesse St. Cowboys for the homecoming game at SFA. Never been there for HC, hopefully it won't be a blowout. Hopefully, I will get to see our own Friday Night Lights tomorrow evening when Stacey's employer, Alto, is playing their district rival and their undefeated record is on the line.
How bout those Detroit Tigers?
Oh yeah, did I mention that the Bulldogs (MSU) finally won? All I can say is finally...
PS I started my Christmas shopping today, how about you?

Latest news
Sorry for the lack of info.
First of all, Stacey's sister Shelley is out of the hospital after a week's stay. She was released on Monday after suffering from a nasty form of staph infection called MRSA. She is at home recuperating and is slowly regaining her health. Thanks for the prayers on her behalf.
Next, last weekend we were able to see my parents. Always good to see them, just wasn't able to spend enough time with them. Yet, we will be flying home for Thanksgiving, so that will be some consolation.
Stacey's mouth is starting to heal up and she goes back to the dentist on Monday to have the final work done on her mouth. Hopefully, this goes well and she can be pain-free back there.
This weekend we're going to my first Cowboys game at Texas Stadium. My only chance to see them in the past was in Indianapolis just before the triplets were disbanded. Anyone who knows how big a Cowboys fan I am can appreciate what this means to me. Okay, so maybe I don't care too much for #81, but I'm still planning on having fun.
BTW, Mom and Dad's dog, a mixed lab named Buster, is a year old. Unfortunately, he got to spend his birthday at the vet getting fixed...Yet, he's a good boy and a great guard dog.

Doctor visits out the wazzoo
Both Stacey and I have been to the doctor this past week. I went for my bio-monthly check-up to have some bloodwork re-done and to change some allergy medicine since I'm still struggling with it since I moved to N. Texas. Fortunately, all is well with the new allergy medicine for me.
This morning, Stacey had to see an endodontist in Irving about a broken tooth that has been troubling her for some time now. After doing a root canal and some additional work, which I don't understand enough to speak of it, it looks like she'll be getting a crown in a couple of weeks once the swelling and healing is complete. Stacey is now back in East Texas and planning on returning to work on Tuesday.
Also, Stacey's older sister wound up in the hospital this weekend after developing a Staph infection in her leg. After going for 4 rounds of IV's and some oral antibiotics, she was not responding to treatment and was admitted to the hospital in Nacogdoches. Prayers for her healing would be greatly appreciated.
