Horray for Josh!!

Josh has finally gotten into nursing school at UAB!! This is what he/we have been looking forward to and praying about for alomost two years...He received the letter last Saturday (which of course is the BEST day of the week) and so obviously we celebrated!! I made him a sign at work that week and hung it on the balcony for him to see when he drove up. I know that he is going to be a GREAT, if not the BEST, nurse. I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. And although i am biased, NO ONE deserves this more- He has worked so hard and it all paid off! CONGRATS!!!!

just for fun!

15 Things...

15 Things You May Not (or Maybe You Do) Know About Me...

15. I have a severe back pain that will never go away. i have been telling my parents since i was 11 that my back and neck hurts, they always told me that it was "growing pains". really??? well, my doctor thinks differently. i am now doing special stretches, using ice packs and seeing him twice a week.

14. I hate roaches. actually, i am DEATHLY affraid of them. i would really rather stand on a toliet seat for two days than kill one. i have nightmares about these nasty, scary creatures. i cry when i see one.

13. I am NOT a math whiz. i suck at it. i am probably on a 3rd grade level in mathmatics.

12. I throw out the bad and keep the good.

11. I didn't have a blog until about a year ago.

10. I love shoes. I mean, i will have no winter clothes in my closet...BUT- i will have 25 pairs of shoes that look pretty in their clear boxes. I always buy 4 inch heels that i may wear once or twice a year. its my splurge. im not sure why either? im not that girly, i dont wear makeup or shop a lot...if i could own a pair of jimmy choos, i could die a happy women.

9. I don't vote party. i actually have no clue who i am voting for. i am just going to wing it...

8. My secret wish is that i could have lots of farm animals. especially a horse.

7. I am a good sales person. i really am. if you are ever unsure of making a purchase, call me. i can always talk someone into buying something.

6. I am great at being an aunt. i know this because my two nieces that can talk, tell me how cool i am. :)

5. I love to swim!

4. I haven't been sad lately.

3. I LOVE to look at pets on petfinder.com

2. I am terrified of roaches and sharks.

1. I probably need some jimmy choos for christmas, at least that is what i keep telling myself.

Sam turns 2!!

We got Sam when he was 8 months old and our baby turned two yesterday!! (tear) A friend of ours parents were trying to find a good home for the runt they named, "Sam". They loved him but already had a dog and just really wanted to find him a good home. Josh told me about him and i immediately said "When can we go get him"? We called them up and went to see him the next day. Seriously, (for me) it was love at first sight. They let us take him for a trial run, we called them on day two and told them how happy we were (including Sam) and it was a done deal. He has been by my side ever since. I rush home in the afternoons to see them and love my weekends because i get to spend it with them. He always sleeps under the covers with me and he loves to chew on socks. He wakes up in the morning just to sit by the shower until i get out. Sam has brought so much fun into my life and we also made a great family friend out of this, I am forever gratful to The Cowgers who let Sam come live with us!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!

My best friends wedding

Cassandra and Brandon got married this weekend in Gulf Shores. It was a beach wedding and it couldnt have been a more beautiful day. We were afraid it was going to be chilly but it was perfect. She looked amazing (as usual, it IS Cassandra) and their reception was really a lot of fun. Everything turned out great and we are so happy for them! We are also jealous, they are spending 7 days in Mexico at an all inclusive resort, Congrats!

yes, it IS a laughing matter.

i can honestly say that i love catching things like this...i love watching people fall, drunk people, and of course, redneck muscle heads in Alabama. oh, and he had flip flops on which made this even better. i am not sure why this is so funny to me, but it is. so i wanted to share.

new bed from grandma

the puppies recieved a gift from grandma (My mom)... A BRAND NEW BED!!! We have been wanting to get one in hopes that Delilah would sleep on it rather than in between josh and i. And from the looks of it, they both <3love<3 it. They also got a HUGE new toy. seriously, it is the biggest toy i have ever seen. So, of course i had to get it. the thing weighs more than sam but they have been playing with it since i brought it home. i am almost certain that they will both be sleeping in their new bed tonight. Thanks again Grandma!

Visiting our favorite boys!

We went this past weekend to Arkansas to see our favorite boys, UCA football team and (of course) Cooper and Brady. It was a lot of fun but WAY too short!
The boys have gotten so BIG and are so smart! Cooper was hillarious with the things he would say- and Brady is so sweet, he just does whatever Coop does. They were a lot of fun. They made us a poster full of old pictures and decorated it. It was nice to see their parentals also ;) on another note,
We were seriously depressed during the Homecoming game. . . It was the first time Josh had ever been up in the stands rather than on the field. But, we were stoked that they won!! They have had a great season and have an amazing team this year. I know he misses it and even after all the complaining of living the "football players wife" life, i missed it too. We also got to see a few friends. Debra and her kids let me sleep over for the night and we stayed up really late catching up. Haley and i did some tailgaiting throughout the game (Josh never left the stadium) and i got to see her family too. We got to see Will and Connie, of course! They were like family when we were there so anytime we can see them, we are always so excited. We went to eat with them on Sunday before we left, We miss them SO much! it was a fun weekend but like i said, way too short. here are some photos!

Cruise 2008!!

Some friends and i went on a "bachlorette" cruise to Mexico last weekend. It was a four day sail to Cozumel and we had a blast. it was nice to get away for a few days and it was very relaxing. the food was okay, not as good as i remebered...but still pretty good. we did get room service the whole time we were there...so now i am spoiled and wishing my late night snack was only a phone call away. we did some dancing and went to a few shows. we went to Carlos n Charlies when we arrived in Cozumel and probably had too much fun. here are some photos of our adventures!
