Still Here

Yes, I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything! What can I say I must be a bad blogger! There has been quite a bit going on since the beginning of the year. John and I both lost grandmothers, we have been to one conference and one class for work, we have been to a wedding shower, and will attend a wedding(Congrats Mike and Nicole) on the 12th! Lets just say that the beginning of the year has been extremely emotional, and crazy so far.

Among all of the craziness our little girl(the cat, don't freak out!) came up pregnant. She is due any day now and is completely miserable! She looks like she swallowed a whole cantaloupe and waddles around the house!! If you would like a kitty just let me know, I will be glad to give you one, or two!! LOL!! I will post pics of kittens when they arrive!

She sleeps all day and comes up with some funny positions to lay in!!

We Remember...

...The firemen so willing, who gave up their own lives.

The police men, who pushed themselves with drive.

And those travelers, who were our angels in disguise.

The New York skyline, that has forever been revised.

Our soldiers, for freedom they do strive.

The family and friends, that make memories survive.

We remember the selflessness that all of you displayed.

We remember that you gave your all, and the sacrifice you made.

In our hearts you will always be, forever there inlaid.

50 Years, Thats a Long Time...

This weekend was my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary!! They deserve a pat on the back! Our family also has yet another wedding coming up in October. Congrats Mandy & Marcus, hope you make 50 wonderful years together!! There really isn't anything exciting going on at the moment in our world. Just working hard so the bills get paid, and trying to rest as often as possible. Hope everyone has a great September, and I will try to update more often!!

I'm Still Here!!!

Well it has been a while since I have had time to stop and write! The last few weeks have been interesting!! John and I have been a little busy with work (Thank Goodness!!) and just relaxing on the weekends, nothing exciting! We have acquired a new pet, her name is Saleen, kitty pics coming soon! She showed up a week ago, and never went away! I just have too big of a heart not to keep her. John had an accident last Tuesday, and sort of caught fire on his arm!! He was trying to burn a brush pile in the back yard and poured a little gas on it, well you can picture what happened next. He burned his arm in two places and a little bit of his face, but his face just looked like a bad sunburn for a few days. We had to stay overnight at the hospital because they were afraid that he inhaled some of the flame and his air passages were going to begin to swell. But none of that happened and everything is fine now, just have to change his dressings two times a day! Its actually starting to look a lot better! Getting excited about my mom moving closer! Can't wait to see her new house, and I think she is excited too and is just holding it all in! If anyone deserves a new house its her! Love you MOM!! (Stop reading this and get packing!!!!) That is the news for now, if anyone wants to see the pics of John's arm let me know! I didn't want to put them up here so people weren't forced to look! Until next time; smile and make someones day, they may just make yours in return!

It's Birthday Time!!

Well today is the day, I am offically 27 years old!! I sure don't feel like it, and I hope that is a good sign! I have finally accepted the fact that I am going to grow older in years, but don't have to in mind!! I like the sounds of that! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!! Love you all!

Hooray, these are the beautiful roses that my mammaw gave me for my birthday today!! They are so pretty I had to share!!

This is the color we picked for our bedroom, we love it!! It's sooo romantic!!LOL!!

This is a color called brownie!! Now everytime I look at this wall my mouth waters!!LOL!!

My wonderful husband gave me a back porch for my birthday, they formed it up on Wednesday!!

This is my finished back porch, the concrete was poured this morning at 7AM!! I can't wait for the party on the patio!!

First Upgrade!!!

Well we finally got new living room furniture! Thought we would never find something that we both liked, but we did!! It is huge, and soooo comfy! Now we just have to decide what color to paint the walls!! Wonder what kind of cool stuff I will get for the house for my Birthday!!!! 8 days and counting!!!

This is what Rex enjoys doing all day long!! He goes from window to window looking for squirrels! It does no good to clean the lower windows in my house!!

Yeah....Pictures Finally!!!

Well, I finally found the time to sit down and put all these pictures up so you all could see the house with out having to make the "LONG JOURNEY"!! Enjoy!!

The view as you come in the front door

The view from the kitchen to the living room.

The view from the hall to the kitchen.

The view from the kitchen to the back yard.
The view from the dinning area to the kitchen & utility.

I know that the walls are a bit empty, we are working very hard to get the rest of our things here and put together the way we want it! But this will give you a basic idea of what the house looks like! I haven't taken any pictures of the spare rooms because they are no where near completion!! Just have to wait or come over and check it out yourself!! Can't wait to entertain everyone at my house for once!!!
