My Life Happenings

Hello lovelies!

I have been so incredibly busy lately that I feel I’ve left my little blog neglected.

I’m sure you are just dying to know why I’ve been so busy….it’s kept you up at night, hasn’t it? (wink wink)

One of the main reasons is my summer writing class...

It is very demanding. The instructor reminds me of Gordon Ramsey from Hell’s Kitchen only she is an English/Composition instructor, not a chief. She belittles us in order for us to stay motivated. Just yesterday she said to the class:

“You are not nearly advanced enough writers to do a research paper on anything medical, so you must pick a different topic.”

Damn. There goes my idea of doing a research paper on the affects of eating disorders. And I feel I’m highly qualified to write about that. Now I’m thinking I’ll do my paper on the affects of a crabby writing instructor on a student’s self esteem. Hehehe, I’m so sassy.

The adoption process has kept us busy as bees. With all the paper work, preparation of our home, and workshops this is most certainly starting to feel more real! Sometimes I am just in awe of the fact that in a year or so we could be holding our precious child.

The fashion world has been bustling which equals more hours for yours truly. I have had some really fun opportunities as far as styling women go. I’ve also dipped my hands into more displays and things of that nature. As much as I absolutely adore my job I can’t wait for things to slow down a little bit.

On another note…my birthday is in 8 days!!! I found a super cute dress at Maurice’s that I’m going to be breaking in that day. Shhhh, don’t tell the high fashion world I got a cute dress on sale at Maurice’s…my boss would kill me!

It's Aztec Inspired with a smocked wast band. All in all a very comfortable dress and the style is totally me.

My Aunt Cathie (who is also one of my best friends) is coming into town with her family for the occasion. We will be having a family gathering at my house on July 4th for a duel celebration of Independence Day and my birth! YAY! I’m very excited. I picked an Angel Food Cake with fresh strawberries and whip cream on top. Knowing me we will have to throw some ice cream in there too.

That is a summary of the current happenings in my life. I'm busy, but blessed. I hope all of you have been well. Have a fabulous day!

My Dad & My Baby


It’s my daddy’s birthday today!!!

My dad is one of the hardest working men I know. He has been a Principal AND teacher for over 20 years. He is a diligent administrator and a dedicated instructor.

He even tought me in 8th grade...what a brave man! ;-)

So today we are going to surprise him at school. We had a local bakery make a cake and we’ve stocked up on ice cream. This afternoon my mom, my husband, and I are going to get the student body and faculty into the gym to sing Happy Birthday and celebrate!

I don’t think he has a clue…I’m so excited!!!

Another reason that I am feelin’ good today…

WE HAVE A MEETING SET WITH THE SOCAIL WORKER FOR THIS FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I said I wasn’t going to get excited this time…

But it’s so hard! This is my future baby we are talking about!

And besides, third time’s a charm, right?!?

Keep us in your prayers! I really want this meeting to take place...it's time to get the ball rolling!
