BFF's


The real reason he is coming to see me this weekend is so he can babysit George for a week!!!!!!! I'm on to his tricks :-)

my BEST friend........

IS HAVING A BABY!!! I have been telling her for months.......scratch that YEARS that I was ready for her to have a baby. I know I know that is very selfish of me, I mean afterall it is her decision and not mine. So anyways she invited me over for lunch yesterday and gave me the GREAT news. I AM SO EXCITED that I do not know what to do with myself. This baby will ABSOLUTELY be spoiled rotten by me! I can promise you that. I have 3 nieces already and a nephew on the way that I NEVER get to see so this will hopefully make me not miss them so much. I need to throw in here that I think Taryn will be an INCREDIBLE mom. She is so great with kids............maybe not itty bitty babies, but when they get to be 2 she will be good to go ;-) I am so happy that I get to be here for all of her pregnancy stuff. I cannot wait to find out what she is having. I know what I hope she is having but I will keep that to myself so maybe I won't jinx it. Taryn, when you read this I just want you to know that I love you so much and I cannot wait for my new little niece of nephew to get here. This baby will be so loved. To baby Brodie........HURRY UP AND GROW ALREADY.......I WANT TO MEET YOU!!!

Darcy Lou

I get to spend the weekend with this girl! We are going to CHUCK E. CHEESE. I am so excited. I think James may be more excited than me and Darcy!

Leslie........GEORGE RAN AWAY!!

So today Started out with a bang! James called me while I was at work and told me that George had ran away.........um......EXCUSE ME??? Ran away??? George the dog that practically walks under my feet when I go outside, the dog who HATES to be by himself, the dog who last time he got out of the back yard fence went around to the front door and cried and barked until we found him at the front door?? At first I thought James was kidding......Which was not a funny joke!! I soon realized he was not kidding. He could barely talk and I could tell he was out of breath. When I realized he was not kidding I started crying! I mean this is my little buddy, my baby, my SON!! That may sound super dramatic, but I do not have kids............HE IS MY KID! I digress... So I said did you check our neighbors yard? he LOVES our neighbors dog LIZZY. He was not there. James is running around our neighborhood while I am on the phone bawling at work.I need to throw in here too that at this point he was crying. If you know James at all you know he is NOT A CRYER AT ALL! That should show you how much we LOVE this dog. So at this point it has been about 10 minutes since he has been looking for him and he is on the next street over. I all the sudden hear, "GEORGE COME HERE"!!! I was SO relieved. He was on the next street over about 6 houses down. He only weighs 6 pounds and he is just a little bitty puppy. That was a LONG way for him to run away. When James was trying to get him he thought James was trying to play with him and he kept on running. James finally got him and took him home. I asked James if he "spanked" him when he got home and he said he did. My favorite part of this story is that James said the "talking" he gave to george probably hurt George worse than his spanking. I asked him what he told him and he said, " I said to him George, WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY?? IS YOUR LIFE HERE THAT BAD"??? I laughed so hard because I can just hear him saying this to him. Anyways George is home safely and I am GLAD!

Isn't he just the CUTEST thing you have ever seen?? I would have seriously had to have been committed if something would have really happened to him!! So anyways I have some other exciting news involving this little puppy.......

Her name is Ginger. Stayed Tuned for more info.

73 days....

That's how long I have been married. I can honestly say that it was the BEST day of my life! People kept telling me that I would be stressed but I really wasn't. I'm pretty sure that I was not a BRIDEZILLA either but you may want to check with taryn my BFF/MAID OF HONOR extraoidinerre (not sure how you really spell that). Taryn was AMAZING that weekend. She's always great but she understood that it was MY day and she did everything to make sure it was special and that I stayed calm. She worked her booty off too helping decorate the church. There are only two things I can think of that went wrong that weekend. Number one is that my mom FELL OFF OF THE STAGE at the church while helping decorate. Oh dear me if that did not just about make me have a heart attack. She really thought that she broke her arm/shoulder sp my brother took her to the hospital to get it x-rayed and THANK GOODNESS it was not broken. But oh my word was it BLACK & BLUE. Bless her heart she was so upset because she thought it was going to ruin the day. My mom may have been a BRIDEZILLA pre-stage fall but post-stage fall she calmed down Quite a bit. Anyways number two thing that did not go as planned was when Taryn was doing my hair the day of the wedding and my dad comes in and tells me the photographer (my uncle) may not make it because he has a SERIOUS family emergency and it could not be avoided. I was ok at this point because he said he would most likely be able to make it after the wedding and we could do pictures then, but my dad came back in the room about 10 minutes later and said that he most likely would not make it and that we could just use the cameras that people had there and take the pictures ourselves. OH MY WORD!!! Was he kidding??? Now that I know what my uncles situation was I would have TOTALLY understood him not making it but at the time I was SOOOO sad. I am pretty sure I cried for like 45 minutes straight and had to have my make-up re done. Did I mention that Taryn was the one that kept me calm during al of this?? Well to make a SHORT SOTRY LONG (haha), my uncle made it and all was well. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and i was so happy to finaly be married and off to the HONEYMOON (wink wink). Married life is wonderful and I would not change a thing about it. Well I would let James work days instead of nights but with the economy the way it is I just thank God everyday that he has a job. Here are a few pictures of the wedding. Hope you enjoy!!




















Oh and here is the picture of my mom's arm.......BLESS HER HEART!!!
