Weekend ReCap

This weekend John Hunter and I went to Indy to spend the weekend with Eric! We had a great and eventful time. Thursday we just hung out and played and had a great time.

Friday when the fun started.... that night a log rolled out of the fire and burnt a hole through the rug and the carpet, the smoke detectors went off and the house smelled terrible!
Saturday we got up and started off on our errands. We started off at Menards (which is like lowes) we got a new rug (which by the way we let another log roll off and burn, but not as bad). We went to several stores and shopped. Came home and ate some pizza and took a nap. We got John Hunter down and we went to rest. We were resting and we heard this HUGE crash, thinking that JH fell out of the bed, but he was fine. When he woke up from his nap we went downstairs and when we hit the bottom step we walked into 2 inches of water and heard gushing. A water pipe broke and water was everywhere.... least to say it was a long night. We called the landlord, but it was still hard to get all done and we had no water for 24 hours!

Sunday was a day full of fun, church, and clean up. The best part of clean up was the the plumber was of latino decent and JH kept walking around calling him "handy manny"!!! OH my... it was wonderful to have water back on. Eric gave JH a bath and I headed to superTarget, retail therapy helped! We ate dinner and Eric and I watched StepBrothers.... so funny.

This morning we got up and packed our stuff. The zoo was have a special day in honor of MLK if you brought a canned good you got in free. It was cold but but so fun! JH loved it. At the penguins he started screaming "happy feet, happy feet". It was so cute. Oh and we touched sharks..... Here are some pics of the day!

After the zoo we went home and JH drove back to KY. It was sad to say goodbye to daddy, we will miss him tons! We are now home and settled, and watching the Bachelor!!!

(Semi) Wordless Wednesday

As you can see from my previous post tired, exhausted, and just plain worn out are the words I would use to describe how I am feeling right about now. Pile that on top of a WILD 2 year old who refused to nap today and lets just say I am hittin' the hay a little early and medicated tonight!

1) Here is what John Hunter looked like after lunch, which entailed an afternoon bath.... CLEARLY not planned

2) Here is where i found John Hunter after I was putting the laundry away today.... is it wrong to want to keep him there???

3) The dogs were playing on the frozen pond while outside... what would i have done if they fell through??

good night friends!

PS.... here are some cute pics of John Hunter and Ivy yesterday while dancing to "me me" or Cedarmont kids!

PSS.. this is how I want to wear my hear next weekend to the black tie event.... any thoughts?

I think I might need a new friend. I am averaging 3-4 hours a nighit, which is just not working for me. So I am praying for a GREAT day and a good nights rest.... I know that is an odd request since it is only 7:40 AM.... but I am feeling it!

Thankful Thursday Reinstated....

Its the first Thankful Thursday for the year.... how exciting is that, and we do have so much to be thankful for this week.

1) We have found a place to rent in Indiana. It was a long process, but we are happy (I saw we lightly because I have never been to this place). But I do that it is a house, that has a yard, and walking trail in the backyard, and a park across the street!!! So that will be great!

2) All that to say, we are taking a load up to Eric tomorrow. We have a 14 foot UHaul loaded and ready to go. Although I never thought i would get to this point this week, I am happy to say that there looks to be an end in sight! But that end would never have been possible without my parents. They have been AMAZING this week! They helped me pack, painted the walls, loaded the UHaul, and and driving up with me tomorrow to spend the weekend with us! How fun is that! Thanks Mom and Dad... we would be LOST without you!

3) Our realtor... our house went on the market today. So as you can imagine it has been a BIG week. But I am thankful to have that done and now in someone elses hands (thanks Miss Donna). So if you want a house.... I know of a great one!

4) 4 weeks from today.... WE WILL BE AT DISNEY!!!!

What a treat!!

So today I was checking my mail, which is something I love to do. And there was the a great surprise in there....almost better than being no bills!
Along with the shirt there was a typed note attached that said,

"thanks for loving your husband and expressing your love for him through your devotions"!!!

How fun is that! I wrote the devos for Southland this week, and it is all on love at first sight and the Song of Solomon!!! If you want to check them out you can do so here:

So I am loving my shirt... I think it will look precious with a pink long sleeve tee underneath (oh the shirt is brown/pink) I plan on wearing it for Valentines day!!!

So a huge thanks to whoever you are... you made my day!

Oh my....

So today has been a semi hard day. We have had a great 2 weeks with daddy but today we had to say goodbye as he headed back Indy. I know it will only be a short while before we see him, but the reality hit as we have boxes piles up every where!!!

John Hunter was taking a bath tonight having a grand old time... giving Thomas a "car wash". Then I heard him singing as i was putting clothes away. I quickly got my camera and this is what we got.

**** Please excuse the nudity!!!!**** (... oh and my singing)!!!




Poor kid... all he wants is washed by the water... we may have to send this video to Need to Breath! Today I found myself on the way to the store by myself so I turned on the radio and the first song on was "WASHED BY THE WATER".... AHHHH! Least to say, I changed the station!

Minnestoa Good Byes and 2009!

We said goodbye to Minnesota this past Sunday, but not without some good times with great friends. Saturday Andrew and Jenni came of for a visit then we went to lunch with them. We love these guys. Andy and Eric have been best friends since 4th grade and I swear they could not talk for months and pick up right where they left off. That night we also went out with them again along with Andrews sister Allie, and Sarah, Anna, and Ben. We all went to Champs to watch the UFC fight... against the womens wishes, but we went! It was a great time had by all!Another highlight was the 3 iphones that were in use the ENTIRE time! Sarah and I got new iphones and what a fun treat they are. Eric was a great teacher on all the cool things they can do. I love this picture.... it sums up our last 48 hours in MN!Sunday morning we got up and started to hit the road to Indy. All was well besides I was throwing up everywhere. It made for a VERY long trip. I have never been so glad to see Indy in all my life.

Monday Eric worked and John Hunter and I explored the city a little and did some shopping. We drove home to KY that afternoon and were so glad to be home. I have to give a HUGE shout out to Gigi who cleaned my whole house and took all my Christmas decorations down. What a treat... THANK YOU!!!! That evening Nana and Big Daddy arrived for the night on the way to North Carolina. We had a good time with them as well.

So we are home safe and sounds.... and had so much fun ringing in 2009!!New Years Eve we went with some great friends The Purvis' and Pannell's for dinner and fun. We had a blast. We had a wonderful dinner at deShaes' then went to Cheapside and Rosebuds. We all had a blast people watching (lets just say that they should have closed the store DEB several years ago) and I had a wonderful time with the noise maker... Eric not so much! We also had a wonderfun saying.... "Bump n' Grind in 2009!!!!"""Much fun was had by all, and we are thrilled that 2009 is here. We have no idea what the LORD has in store for us this year, but we are willing to follow..... It's like John Hunter's song says, YAWAH... you go before me! That is what we are clinging to this year!
