Magnolia Mom has been silent for quite some time. I still read blogs, just don’t write on mine. I’d like to find a ‘new blog home’ someday, but for now I’m gonna stick here. Not sure how much I’ll write, but I just read an entry (blog now removed) and it just tugged at my heart. A brand new dad ships off to Afghanistan just a week after his son was born, only to die in combat not even a month later. This family needs your prayers.

I’ve been so busy with other things that I haven’t been able to post pictures from the party at Toomer’s Corner after the win against Florida. Such a SWEET win and a great birthday present, too! Read here about the tradition of Rolling Toomer’s Corner

Here’s a pic of the elated Drew with his precious pet, who has been eating like crazy since we brought him home.

I haven’t had a chance to show you my other birthday gift from Rob. You know I got my MacBook Pro back in August and now I have this sewing machine. I’m going to be a very busy girl!

I called this morning to check on Oreo and they said he was eating and jumping around. Yesterday he wouldn’t move hardly at all and just laid out. They said the doc wasn’t in yet, but they’d call me later. I just got the call and he’s fine, needs some meds for a few days. I’m just so thankful. Drew and I just cried till our eyes were puffy before I left to take Oreo. He just kept saying, “Momma, don’t let him die.” It’s so hard to see your child in such grief stricken pain. In an hour when…

Drew called me while I was driving home, saying he thought Oreo (his rabbit) was dead. He was crying and it was very traumatic. I got home and looked at him and saw that he was probably not going to make it, but I would take him to the vet. I was praying they could do something to help. Drew got the rabbit for his 9th birthday back in January, so we haven’t had him that long. It’s Drew’s first pet that is just HIS, not a family pet. Drew couldn’t go with me to the vet because he had…

Tonight Drew got Boo’ed. Ever heard of it? He got a bag of candy with 2 pieces of paper attached to it. One said this:

“Mom, your foot is squooshy.”

Good news. We can be approved for the loan. Now it’s a matter of making sure we can really afford the payments and selling our house and getting the most out of it. I’ll keep you updated. **big grin and lots of tummy butterflies**

I guess I’ve been pretty quiet here lately. I’ve tried not to bore you with my mundane life. I’ve been enjoying my days off and tomorrow it’s back to the old grind until Thanksgiving. Anyway, during my time off Rob found a house he wanted to look at. We haven’t been desperate to move or anything, but we always keep an eye out. So we went and looked at the house yesterday. We really liked it. It’s the perfect size for what we need. It has lots of things we don’t have now, like a garage, an room for an…
