Trip to Nanny's


We went on a great trip to my grandmother's this weekend. These trips are always fun, and taxing at the same time. I love my grandmother, but she is getting old and tends to forget things now. That has cause some issues in what I have or haven't said in the past, usaully because we remember it differently. However, I have been blessed that I ahve gotten to spend so much time with her since comeing to college. My brother's have not. I is really great. And I got to take my husband which always makes trips better. I will give Brad this he knows how to make it fun to not have AC. He started a one man campaign to kill as many bugs as possible with his arm.


Okay this next picture is for all of you who have made the tirp to my grandmothers, I am sure you recognize the endless straight line of the Cumberland Parkway. An Hour of nothing but four relativly empty lanes.
I also wanted to add a picture of my Grandmother's favorite hobby. Buying clothes and returning them to the store. The middle salmon color suit is the third in a series of suits she has bought to wear to Joel's wedding, and after some consultation she is returning it and going to try something else. What can I say, if you buy clothes in Murfreesboro, beware! she has probably bought it and tired it on at least once.

My mom does the same thing! Maybe not as extreme as Nanny, but she won't try it on in the store...just when she gets home. I hate the hassle and don't understand why she'd do that!

(What size is Nanny, so I know not to buy that?)

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
