Smokey!

I stink at blogging...

I really do wish I was better. I guess that I don't have much to say! My husband would disagree with that!

Tubing...
We are trying to get a group of friends together to go tubing in Helen, Ga next weekend. I have only been once, but no one else in our group has ever been. It seems like ages since I went...oh it was only about 12-13 years ago! Wow, I'm getting old. anyways, it should be a good time! I just have to remember to keep sunscreen on...on me and the husband. I'm hoping to have pictures...but I am world's worst at taking pictures.

Reading...
I'm reading the Vampire Diaries right now. I'm just kinda into it. I enjoyed Twilight Saga MUCH better.

Eclipse Move...
GREAT! Best of the series so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the do Breaking Dawn in two parts...ahhh....can't wait.

Work...
GREAT! What can I say...I love my job. I love where I work and the people I work with, well, most of them! Some of them are just pure lazy.

Life...
LOVE! I am so happy where life is for me and B right now. We are just enjoying each other and where we are, and looking forward to where life takes us.

Loss...
I lost my Mamaw in June. She was 84 years old. She had a light stroke in February and went into a nursing home once she was released. Once she was released from the nursing home/physical therapy my Mom took her home. Home = Mamaw's house. She had been home 4 weeks to the day she passed away. We were all glad that she was home, and that she didn't suffer too long. She is in a much better place now. She is with her daughter, Charlotte, and they are both watching over our family. Mamaw will be greatly missed.

Vacation...
We are taking B's Nanny on her FIRST ever beach trip in October!!! We are both so excited.

We are hoping to take another cruise in May. We will probably go on the Legend again, that is the ship we took on our honeymoon. I'd really like to go on the Dream, but it is newer and cost more!

Friends...
C and my Peanut! I actually got to see them last weekend. He is getting so big...he is so darn cute!

We just got the news that A and J are moving back to Chatt town!!! She is due with baby JSD in November!

M and K are moving to Atlanta, and that makes us sad. K is going to Emory to receive her Masters, best of luck girl. But hurry home.

J and J are still out in Texas. We are wishing they could move home too.

Our newest couple to the group, P and J...I love ya'll! I am so excited for them! They are in the process of adopting a little girl from Rwanda. I can't wait to meet her!


I know that was really random...just some of the things that are on my mind. I really hope to start doing better at keeping up with the 'ol blog. Even though C is my only follower! I think I would really like to keep this up so that I have it to look back on one day.

A Giveaway!!!

Running of the Chihuahuas!!!

A local radio station is doing a running of the chihuahuas for Cinco de Mayo, and Vince has been chosen! Well, he wasn't at first, but I got a call tonight asking if we were still interested....ummm...YEAH! I so hope to have good news to post in a few days!!!!

First Mclinky?!?!

Ha this is the first one that I've done, and I'm probably not doing it right...Here goes nothing...

Baby Shower Ideas...

I made the cutest diaper cake for my best friend back in Feburary. It was my very first attempt and I was quite please with how it turned out. My mom and I had the best time buy up all the stuff and putting it together for my Peanut...











I totally think I am missing a step here. I am not sure how to get the list of links on my page. Help! Anyone stumbles upon my page...let me know!!! I like the blog hops, I'm just having a blonde moment! HA!

T.G.I.F.

I am so glad today is Friday, and my work week is over...Till Monday anyway. I have been a little under the weather this week. I'm pretty sure that its all sinus mess. I've pretty much kept a headache since Wednesday, but today it was at its worst. I was going to go see my bestie and Peanut up in Murfreesboro (not sure on that spelling!), but I don't want to get either of them sick IF I'm contagious.

By the way...

Jules had a beautiful baby boy Thursday night. 8 lbs and 20 1/5 inches long. I was also going to see them Saturday, but that will have to wait also. Congrats guys can't wait to meet the 'lil guy!

Monday...

Mondays are always long days. It was really hard getting back into the swing of things this morning. I really didn't want to get out of bed. It's always hard after a couple of days off.

I really wasn't looking forward to going to work today. We are testing a new version of PAM system. This is the first "TEST" that I've had to do at work. Let me tell you, this is not fun. I have to post my trades into the current system, and then turn around and post them in a total seprate "test" system...this doubles my work. I really didn't think I was going to get out of there on time, but thankfully I did! On a normal day I have about 1,239,500 steps to do in PAM...Well, untill mid September it will be 1,239,500 times 2. Oh what fun. Oh well, does me no good to complain. I'm just greatful that I have a good paying job in todays economy. Plus, I love my job, that always helps. I am glad to be where I am Just a year after graduation.

I have a confession...during my down time at work...is when I read other peoples blogs! It helps pass the time! That is really what got me to wanting to start my own. So far, so good...I am usually not one to tell it like it is, or always say whats on my mind...Just ask my hubby. So, we will see what all I actually get typed out in this virtual world. I am really hoping that bloging will help me become more of a picture taker. I usually carry a camera around with me, but hardly EVER take any pictures, I want that to change. I like to read the blogs that tell the story along with pictures.

Randomness...

I just got a text message from the beautiful people below saying that they are due to have a baby in NO more than 3 days!!! Jules is a good friend of B's from highschool, and the first from that whole group to have a 'lil one. We are all exctied for J & J. Best wishes to you guys!!!!

A Mr., Mrs. and 4 Chihuahuas!

Yes, you read that right! 4 Chihuahuas! These dogs are like our children. We treat them like they are kids. They are so spoiled. I mean these dogs get Christmas presents! I will get to them a little later in this post...

First, The Mr.

I will refer to him often as either B or Hubby! I'm sure most of you reading already know our names anyway...

B...

What can I say, I love this man! He can make me laugh at the drop of a hat. He is always keeping a smile on my face. B and I met June of 2004...WOW! That makes me feel so old! B works hard so that we can have what we have in life.



I LOVE you B!

Me...I hate describing myself...I'm sure you will get to know me through the blog!



That's one of my bridal portraits! My favorite!

Now, the 4 kids!!!

Casey, she is our oldest, and the only girl! She is really spoiled. Casey is 8 and queen of the house...





Cedric, next to oldest, is just an old man at age 5...



Vince...1 of 2 brothers...THE BIG ONE!




Inky...2 of 2 brothers...The littlest one!



Vince and Inky are the sons of Casey and Cedric. They are already 2 years old...time flys!

I want to share a picture of our wedding day too...



We had one heck of a wedding day. Well, it actually started at the rehearsal dinner, or lack there of...but, that is a whole other post for another day!

Mrs. C

Picture...

I'm going to be working on my layout a bit. I'm just happy that I figured out how to change the layout!!! I will definitely be looking for another picture. That's the only decent one I have of me and Hubby on the 'ol laptop.

First Blog...

Don't really have much to say, but I've been wanting to start a blog for a while. I had a myspace for a long time, and I just wanted to start/try something new. I hope that this blog will help me keep in touch with family and friends that are out of town.

Now I'm off to try and figure out this whole blog thing! HA...this could take a while...I had to have Myspace for Dummies training...HA!

Wish me luck!
