Update

I haven't felt like doing a weekly update lately (as you can tell)! And to be honest, I probably won't do one. But I will update just a few things.

• I am 38+3 weeks...where in the world has the time gone!
• I am pretty sure this little girl plans on staying in Mommy as long as possible. I am neither dilated or effaced. I want to cry at this fact, because I have definitely been feeling some contractions and pressure down there.
• I am still working (maybe 4 hours a week)...and it sucks. I am so ready for leave. But I said from the beginning I was going to work up until Aubrey gets here or her due date. Right now, her due date will be here before she is!
• I had two amazing baby showers, and I am so thankful for them! Aubrey is beyond spoiled that it's crazy! I would post pictures, but to me, they aren't flattering! If we're friends on Facebook, you can see them.
• I have definitely enjoyed football season so far. We have a week off this weekend (10.22) as we prepare to take on the disliked hated Florida Gators on 10.29.
• Talking about football, we need to beat Florida, and then Florida needs to beat South Carolina so we can take the SEC East.
• GO DAWGS!
• As for the SEC West, LSU needs to lose to Alabama on 11.5.
• ROLL TIDE!
• And the big one besides Aubrey of course...there is 30 days until my birthday. It seems like yesterday I was celebrating my birthday with family and friends. And now, it's here again. Please, God, can the next 18 years go by realllllyyy slow instead of speeding by like I know they will. I can't imagine my baby girl graduating from high school.

I am pretty sure this is everything that is going on right now. Mainly, it's just a waiting game for Aubrey to get here!

Hope y'all have a wonderful week!

Christmas 2010...Better Late Than Never!

Well, this is the second day being snowed in...and I'm not gonna lie, I'm going insane! And call me crazy, but I am actually ready to go back to school. We are out of school again tomorrow, and so are the kids. So, we're all going insane around here. Today, we made a trip in to town, but the roads still aren't in the best conditions. It's suppose to get in the low 20s tonight...so everything that is on the roads is going to freeze over. Maybe, we will go to school Thursday. But I will wait until tomorrow to find out. I just know that I want to get out of the house for more than 45 or so minutes.

And before I get to what this post is actually about, I just gotta say...WAR DAMN EAGLE!!! I am so glad that Auburn beat Oregon to become the 2010 National Champions! Not gonna lie, the game was pretty boring through the first three quarters...and then got better in the 4th. I wanted to scream at the TV so bad during some plays...but everyone was in bed besides me. Gotta say though, I am already looking forward to September, and college football again! For now...GO FALCONS!! Show them how the Dirty Birds do it!

Now...to the real reason of this post...CHRISTMAS!! I have plenty of pictures from both Christmas Eve and Christmas day, but I will only post a few. For Christmas Eve, we go to my step-dads side of the family...and then Christmas day, we go to my Mom's side of the family. My Dad, Sandy, and I do Christmas by going out to dinner. So, I have no pictures of that. But I'll go ahead and get started and see how many pictures get on here!

Baxter and I before we left Christmas Eve for my Uncle's house

Alexis (5) and Jacob (3). Baxter's children. These kids definitely have my heart.

Baxter, Tanner, Parker, Jacob, and Alexis. Where's LeahJean?!

Caleb, Makayla, Alexis, LeahJean, Jacon, Tanner, and Parker. Can't ever get kids ranging from 3-6 (I think) to sit still!

Baxter, I, Alexis, and Jacob.

Parker, me, Matthew, Grandma, Rachel, Tanner, Sandy, LJ. All the grandkids and grandma!

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Like I posted last night, it definitely snowed last night. We have at least 4 inches on the ground here at the house, and it is already starting to freeze over. Still have power, thankfully. And since the kids are home from school today (as am I), it's insane in this house. I just can't believe that there is snow on the ground yet again this Winter. Baxter's step-mom told me when it snowed Christmas that if snow stays on the ground more than 3 days it'll snow again. Well, the snow stayed on the ground more than 3 days last time, and I have a feeling it'll do the same again this time. Especially since they are forecasting for the temperatures not to get out of the 30s for the majority of the week, and the lows for a couple days are gonna either be in the teens or 20s. Lovely, right! I'm starting to wonder how long the kids and I are gonna be out of school. I've definitely got my fingers crossed that we don't lose power here. Gotta admit, I love snow days! I'm sitting on the couch, with my laptop...in my pajamas with a cup of coffee watching the news. The only way it could get better was if Baxter was here to play in the snow with us. I will leave y'all with some pictures, but there will definitely be more pictures to come, especially once we get outside and play in the snow. These are the ones I've taken so far.

My Car...completely covered.

Pretty sure I couldn't get to the shed if I had to. Unless I wanted to bust my ass.

Looking in to the front yard from the driveway

Back yard and deck

Looking at what is normally a flower bed in the summer and the woods.

Looking up towards the farm. Can't even tell where our driveway is, minus the tire tracks from when Keith went to work.

Headed towards the road. Haven't ventured up there yet!

As for tonight, there is a huge football game! And yes, I am from the South and love me some SEC football!! So, needless to say...WAR DAMN EAGLE!!

I WIL ALWAYS BE A GATOR HATER!! And a lesson on bets...

So as everyone knows, I am a DIEHARD DAWG!!! Always have been...always will be. So now, you will see where this post is about to go. To my fellow Dawgs, PLEASE don't kill me!!

This is why you don't make a bet...FB Profile Picture for a week...



My uncle on my Mom's side is a diehard Gator fan (NASTY! And I can't believe I just put those two colors together). Anyways, we made a bet about a week and a half, two weeks ago. That whatever team lost, the other person will have to change their profile picture. Well, I had one picked out. Loved it. But anyways, unfortunately, the Dawgs lost 34-31 in overtime. I didn't get to watch the game, but from what I heard on the radio, it was a damn good ball game. So now, the above picture, is my facebook profile picture for a week.





Instead, this is what I think about the whole situation...



So yet again, I have lost another bet. And as my title says, I will always and I mean ALWAYS be a GATOR HATER!! My aunt was commenting on my status and his wall post on my wall after the game ended, and Ryan said that I got out lucky. He would rather have the bet to where I was wearing Florida apparel the whole week. Well, I don't own any orange and blue that would go together anyways. I will stick to my red and black clothing that I absolutely love.

So, the moral of the story...don't bet unless you know you can win! And as always, I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Halloween.

P.S.--Like Corey Smith says "EVERY DAWG HAS HIS DAY!!" Well, this was our day! We barely lost though! I will finish with this: GO DAWGS...SIC 'EM...WOOF WOOF WOOF!! Yes, I will still call my Dawgs...even after a hard loss like that!

Playing a Little Catch Up

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have been crazy chaotic around my neck of the woods! School...work...life in general. I have to say, life is amazing right now. The guy that I have had feelings for since May (when I was told that my ex wanted to get a divorce) and I have finally decided that we think there might be potential between us and have decided to see where it would go. Needless to say, I am beyond excited! Yes, we are taking it extremely slow because I am not ready to get hurt or anything. He's a sweetheart, but he is older than I am. And when I say older, I mean by more than 2 or 3 years. But to me, age is nothing but a number.

School is insane. Not gonna lie. I feel like that's all I do now. I had to actually drop my Spanish class because I was doing horrible in it. So now that that's out of the way, I won't have to worry about failing a class. Pretty sure that I tried to take too many classes my first semester back after two and a half years, basically. My Algebra teacher is insane. She doesn't actually teach the class, but instead, shows us how to do things. Yes, I am a visual learner, but I gotta know how in the hell you get to that answer in the first place.

Work is going well. Well, kind of. I am actually considering looking for another job because our business has slowed down a lot and things just aren't looking good. But lately, I have been working between 4 and 5 days a week which isn't bad at all. But when you're getting only waitress pay (2.35/hour) plus tips (and business is slow), it's not too good. But I have to say, I love my job. I love the people that work there and I haven't gone to work dreading the day...besides the one day I had a hungover from hell. We don't talk about that :)

Football...UGH. Georgia is just having an off season. But I am so tired of seeing every one bashing them. Hello?! We have a freaking young team. AJ Green was suspened due to his stupidity. It hurt us. I didn't get to watch the game last night, but I heard they played a wonderful game until AJ Green went out due to dehydration. But I have always been and always will be a Dawg fan. GO DAWGS!!!

The only other thing that has gone on is my little sister turned 5 a week ago, and today,we celebrated her birthday. She truly was a princess today! She enjoyed it and had a blast. Pretty sure her favorite gift was either the bicycle she got or her doll. And she's walked around ever since opening her presents with her bike helmet and knee pads on. Too cute for words!

But I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know it has been a great weekend for me!

I will post pictures later when I get the chance! Thanks for bearing with me through this random, off the wall post!
