I did this blog review in the past and here’s what you do….Post the first sentence of the first post of each month. January I have a box of old T-shirts that the boys have grown out of that I just couldn’t bare to throw or give away. February I’ve had this post about half way done for awhile and am finally making myself finish. (post is gone) March My last week at the library I saw this book, flipped through it, and decided to check it out. April Universal Pictures’s *big* summer release is hitting theaters July 9, 2010,…

On Christmas Eve, Rob’s Dad and Step-Mom arrived. I decided to do a nice meal and make it something a little more traditional. So I made a homemade marinaded/injected for a ham with green beans and pecan praline sweet potatoes. It was SO yum! Christmas morning after Santa dropped by! Opening presents Drew with his new, shiny trombone. He was very excited! Look you can see my reflection! Christmas Day snacks! Making Christmas dinner! After dinner I got on facebook and noticed someone who doesn’t live to far said that it was snowing! Went outside and here’s what we saw!…

With Christmas approaching I thought I would post this pics I scanned on one of my scanning sprees. I wished I had more pictures of me with Santa and you never know, the more I go through old pics from Grandmother’s house, I may come up with more. How priceless is this one? Me, I supposed this was my first Christmas 1975 with the Sleeping Santa! I just laugh every time I look at this one. This one, well I’m not having anything to do with this rosy cheeked guy. “Let me down!” Here I am at Monnig’s after having…

This morning we went up to Atlanta for the Children’s Christmas Parade. We really enjoyed the parade and it really got us in the Christmas spirit. Afterwards, we walked over to Peachtree Center and ate at El Ninfa’s for lunch. After that we headed back home so we could watch the SEC Championship game on TV. Here are some pictures I took during the parade.

Here’s pictures from the Auburn Christmas parade yesterday. Alex and Rob were on the float with Pack 29, but they were on the other side so you won’t see them in the pictures. Have a holly, jolly Christmas It’s the best time of the year I don’t know if there’ll be snow but have a cup of cheer Have a holly, jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street Say Hello to friends you know and everyone you meet. Oh Ho the mistletoe hung where you can see Somebody waits for you Kiss her once for me Have a…

Earlier this month, Alex had to get glasses. We got a notice from the school recommending that he see the eye doctor, because preliminary eye screenings came out abnormal. Here he is and just as cute as ever.

Rob and I DVR everything. When we got the DVR a few years ago, we never realized how it would revolutionize our TV watching. I think we’re able to watch 2-3 times the amount of TV that we used to. Skipping commercials and sometimes skipping stuff that’s boring or monotonous saves a ton of time. Working so much the DVR has been a “life-saver” or should I say a TV saver…literally! (I crack myself up!) Anyway, I had actually started writing this post waaaay back…don’t even remember when. So anyway, I’m thinking I need blog about TV more, because well…I’m…

…the new way of life for this household. I honestly can’t remember how much I’ve talked here about what’s been going on and on a normal day I would look back through my posts to see, but honestly…I’m too damn tired! *Did I just say that?* Anyway, I may not be writing here like I would like because I have no inspiration. I do find time at my evening job to read all my favorite blogs, one of which is still Rude Cactus, who I’ve read for years now. He wrote a thought provoking post about his daily schedule and…

So last week was my 35th birthday. I was treated to cupcakes from Gigi’s Cupcakes in Auburn. Since I’m working more than I’m not, practically, we waited till the weekend to go out. We were up in Birmingham for soccer on Sunday, so I got to pick something different. I first thought about Chipotle, but when we went in, we were surprised to see it wasn’t a sit down restaurant. It’s an inexpensive, walk up, and order type place. Then we went over to The Summit, where I spotted Chuy’s. Oh, I adore that restaurant! Only been 1 time to…

I always have good intentions of blogging at least once a week, but life has really gotten busy since my last post. Monday, August 30th, I subbed at a school was told by the office lady that they had some maternity leave spots that may need to be filled and that I should speak with one of the principals. Well, I did, but she wasn’t sure if that teacher had found someone. I told her to please keep me in my mind, yadda-yadda-yadda. On my way home that day, I noticed Rob had called a few times. Called him back…

Drew had his first school sporting event today. He did a great job in his 1st ever cross country meet. He didn’t have his uniform yet and had only been to 2 practices. He ran a mile and half in 10:44. Trailing a high school kid Passed up the high school kid After his race, he ran back and met a friend of his so he could cheer him on. Love it!

I mentioned in a previous post that I have been super busy. Usually when I do the soccer pics for Drew’s Soccer League, I don’t get around to getting his picture. Well, this season he made sure that I did, because he wants to have new pics for his profile on the Thunder website. Thought I’d share… Tomorrow he is participating in his first school related sport, Cross Country. He’ll be running a mile and half. Go Tigers!

I wanted to wish my wonderful husband a happy wedding anniversary! 13 years! Here’s a pic of us at our reception, before it started pouring down rain. Here’s an anniversary prayer I found recently. Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Dear Lord, we put our marriage into your hands. Amen.

Like I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been super busy with soccer league pictures. I finished up last night with taking the pictures. Now I’ve got to finish going through the pictures, editing, posting to galleries, sending emails, and placing orders. Then, start deliveries. Lots of work. I’m just happy that I was able to take all the pics on schedule. No rain outs! I’ve got several posts in the works, but I just gotta find time to get them finished up and posted. I was looking at my blog earlier and realized that my header has a Corgi…

If you follow me on facebook, you are aware of how the last couple of weeks have gone. So very busy with school starting and all that goes with that. I’m also taking Soccer league pictures last week and this week. On top of all that, Thursday August 5th, Rob had come home for lunch and wondered why he wasn’t greeted by Rosie. I had remembered letting her outside a couple hours before, but she usually makes it well known that she’s ready to come in. We sent the boys out to see if they could find her and she…

I just love when Rude Cactus does the posts of numbers. I’ve kept that in mind, trying to find a good time to do a post like that. Well, unfortunately the time has come. LOL! I was hoping it would be some wonderful post about a vacation or new job. Not so much. I’ll just let you figure out why it is unfortunate by leaving you with the totals…. Days since this all started: 16 Days it seems like it’s been going on: 35 Trips to the emergency room: 1 Antibiotics Rob has taken: 3 Pain meds attempted: 2 Trips…

So this blog seems to be turning into a cruise blog and I’m sorry to those of you who think of cruising as a ridiculous way to travel. Since we can’t take any big vacations now, it’s just been so therapeutic for me to write these cruising entries. I do plan to do some other travel posts, too. Anyway, so what else have we been up to now that it’s summer. Well…. This week Drew has been at Boy Scout camp and will return tomorrow. Here’s a couple pics before he left. After leaving the Scout Hut, we took Alex…
