    Marriage

    May 3, 2008 - By 

    Ok, so many of you probably know that life has been rocky for me and well, the commitment that I made almost 11 years ago nearly came crumbling down in front of me. So much of it was my fault and mainly because I was not able to communicate and express what was bothering me. I guess like the counselor I saw said, I am the “textbook unhappy wife”. I won’t get into any details, but I’ve learned a lot in the last nearly 8 months or so. I learned that holding things in doesn’t help anyone, doesn’t do anyone…

Which animal would you pick, and what would you name it Weimaraner and as far as a name, I would have to ponder that with the family and come up with something really good. Salad On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy getting all dressed up for a special occasion? When in the mood 9. When not a 3.…

    From the Mouth of the 4 year old

    April 18, 2008 - By 

    On the way to Atlanta tonight, from the 4 year olds: Alex: Mom, squirrels climb trees. Alex: Do squirrels pee? Me: Yes, all animals pee. Alex: Do dogs pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pee? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee! Alex: Do bears pooh? Me: Yes, ALL animals pee and poop! The conversation continued on and on! It started off really funny, but it got old after awhile.

    April 13, 2008 - By 

    For Valentine’s Day, Rob took me to see Van Halen the Sunday before Valentine’s Day. It was a surprise and I thought it was so sweet of him to think of that. Before the concert, we ate at Ted’s Montana Grill and it was really good. The opening act was kind of an odd choice, Ky-Mani Marley. Setlist 01. You Really Got Me 02. I’m the One 03.

    Drew has a mini-tournament in Birmingham today. It SNOWED on us on our way up there. Nice! LOL! It was in the 30’s and we froze. We played the #1 in the state and the other 2 were in the top 10 of the state. We tied against the #1 and the other 2 we lost. Drew got his first goal today and it was very exciting! Pics later:)

    Dating Log

    March 4, 2008 - By 

    Ok, so Rob and I started having “date night” back in December. We would go every other weekend and we would take turns planning it and usually it was a surprise. So I’m going to recap our dates and what we did… Dec. 8 – (planned by Rob) We went to see the ballet, Nutcracker, and ate a fancy restaurant called Dawson’s at Rose Hill Dec. 22 – (planned by me) I pre-purchased for the movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets. It was the night after it premiered so I wanted to make sure it wasn’t sold out. After that…

    February 29, 2008 - By 

    Where has the time gone? So ever since Drew had a birthday back in January, Alex started saying, “Drew is 10 and I’m almost 4.” As time escapes us, he now started deleting the “almost” part and announces to everyone that he is 4. Needless to say his birthday is a week from today. Where have the last few years gone? It seems like yesterday I was so ready to get that baby out. Thinking of ways to put myself in labor, so I could meet that little boy that was growing inside of me. And now I try to…
