    April 30, 2010 - By 

    This week at Show Us your Life over at Kelly’s Korner is How You Met Your Husband week. I’ve written some pretty in depth posts about that you can start with here. I have most of the next post And baby makes three…(part V) started, but never finished it. Maybe I’ll finish that soon. Anyway, for this post I’m going to write an abbreviated version of these posts. I was a sophomore at Texas Tech and Rob was a sophomore at Auburn. We met on AOL, when it was just beginning to get popular. We chatted online every night and…

    POM Wonderful

    April 29, 2010 - By 

    About a month ago, I was contacted by a representative from POM Wonderful about sending me some POM juice to try. Well, they sent me an 8 pack. I tried it and it is so yummy! It’s a very light, smooth juice, nothing thick or crunchy like other juices of tried. Not too sweet, not to sour. I can drink down the 8 oz. bottle in no time. The icing on the cake is that it’s healthy! It contains no added sugars or preservatives. Gluten free and full of potassium. Slightly sweet. Slightly tart. One sip and you’ll discover a…

    Cardinals

    April 27, 2010 - By 

    Yesterday I got home and Rob had been sitting on our balcony. He said thatDrew had made a discovery while looking for a ball, which was a nest full of baby cardinals. Today I was able to go out and find them again. Here they are. This is kind of hard to decipher, but I think they were turned over where you see wings. This morning when I went out Mama and Daddy were both near the nest when I opened the door. They quickly flew away when they heard me. Here’s Mama and the blur which is Dad. I…

    {I ♥ Faces} Week 17 – Smiles

    April 26, 2010 - By 

    This is my oldest niece, Arial. She’s peeking through the bars on the playground. She’s one of the few kids I’ve reminded to smile who didn’t give me that crazy, fake smile. I think her smile is precious, but maybe I’m just a bit bias. 🙂 Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest!

    Season of Nerves

    April 13, 2010 - By 

    I’ve got so many posts “in the works,” but it just seems I can’t get them finished right now. So be patient. In the mean time… With the beautiful weather that we’re having, comes a very nerve-wracking time for me. It’s “teacher hiring season.” I so badly want to be back in the classroom. This year of subbing has really opened my eyes to so many things and I’m ready to put a lot of those ideas to use. I know there is a reason for all things that happen and God has my master plan. I’m just praying that…

    Road Trip {Jackson, MS}

    April 12, 2010 - By 

    This past weekend we drove to Clinton, MS, after a cub scouting event. We didn’t get out of town till nearly 9 pm, so we got in about 1:30 am. We had to rise and shine very early for Drew’s first game which started at 8, meaning he had to be there at 7:15 and it was about a 30 minute drive into Jackson. We stayed with one of Rob’s cousins and her hubby. We haven’t seen them in quite some time, so it was great to see them. Rob’s Aunt and Uncle and Dad and Step Mom drove over…

    Military Funeral 2010::Biloxi, MS

    April 6, 2010 - By 

    I mentioned in an earlier post that we attended a military funeral in Biloxi at the Biloxi National Cemetery a few weeks ago. It was for Rob’s Step Dad’s Father, so Rob’s Step-Grandfather, Cliff. They buried Cliff and his wife’s ashes together. My mother-in-law and my niece before the ceremony Keeping watch before the ceremony The folding and unfolding of the flag was something so intricate, yet touching. Gun salute. After the gun salute, there was a recording played of Taps. It would have been much more real if it were played live. I remember when going to Arlington National…

    Universal Pictures’s *big* summer release is hitting theaters July 9, 2010, Despicable Me starring the voice talent of Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove, Jason Segel and Russell Brand. In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn.

Surrounded by an army of tireless, little yellow minions, we discover Gru (Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon (Yes, the moon!) in Universal’s new…
