Huston Street Is Engaged...

Sorry ladies, Oakland Athletics’ Closer Huston Street did in fact recently propose to his lady. On New Year's Eve, he proposed to his girlfriend of 2 1/2 years, Lacey Larsen, while surrounded by roses.

Huston and Lacey met in the summer of 2004. Roses seem to have always been big for them, as for their 1st year anniversary he brought her 365 roses gave them to her saying "One rose for every day you've made my life better."

He proposed to her in his new condo in Texas, making an effort to show her that he felt it was “their” place. Since he likes to do things in his ‘big’ fashion, he took Lacey to dinner where they had two $400 bottles of Gaja Barbaresco. (Huston’s quite the wine aficionado!) Then they took a romantic horse draw carriage ride while he had his buddy Curtis Thigpen, a friend who catches in the BJ’s organization, set up the condo with 1,500 red roses. He proposed with a well rehearsed speech that would make any girl’s heart melt & of course she accepted.
He eagerly brags about Lacey’s vital stats. It took her three years to get a marketing degree from TCU where she maintained a 4.0 grade-point average in her major, and a 3.8 or 3.9, overall. He says "She's a genius, which is really, really annoying, because I lose every argument."

Oh & just for fun, here’s 1,500 roses… just to give you an idea of what she was up against when they arrived home that night!

You asked for it...

I'm trying something new here... With the blog site stats company I use, I can see what kind of searches brought random people to my site. So from now on, every Friday I'm going to try to address some of the things they're looking for - within reason of course. So standby for the #1 thing searched for & now found on my blog:

Meet The New Man In My Life...

Here's the new baby! He's still nameless though so if you have any ideas that'd be cool! He's a baby Great Dane with a white coat with random gray patches. It's call a Porcelain or Blue Harlequin coat. He's got 2 brothers still for sale if you're interested!
Here he is restin'... (he does that a lot cause he's growing so fast!):

& here he is with a Kong chew toy so you can get an idea of how big he is! He's only 8 weeks & already 30 lbs!


Tigger is ticked off:
