Having fun

These are some pictures from the past couple of days. We have been playing basketball out back since it's cleaned out. I'm even enjoying it, even though I'm terrible at the game! My sister-in-law brought Penelope over the other night so I TRIED to get some good pictures, she is so ROTTEN! I did manage to get a few good ones. Then there's just some nature pics I wanted to take. Enjoy!

Job hunting STINKS!

I am getting a little down about finding a job. I really thought when I got back in town I would have no problem getting a job. I guess I was SO wrong about that. I've been looking in the child care field so I could take Audrey or at least have a class she could be in for the summer. I don't even know if thats what I want anymore. I think I want to try something else I just don't know what I would do! I in my mid twenties and I have no other experience but working with kids. Plus I'm a little afraid to try something else. I just don't think that I could work a "desk" job and make enough money to live on AND pay for Audrey's child care in the summer! I'm so fixing to FREAK OUT! I need some serious guidance about my future!!!

Lord please help me. I'm trying to stay positive, but I can only stay positive for so long!

My calendar book

I finally got to make a calendar book. This past weekend was my churches ladies retreat and we got to pick 4 different classes to take on Saturday. One of them was a calendar making class, so of course I did it, and of course my best bud Carla did it with me. She knows how to make them too and has a bigger one and we are going to make another one together sometime. Anyway, I was thrilled to finally make one and I think it looks pretty good. I really enjoy being creative!

This is the front of my book

One the pages inside

Another page inside

Just a blank page for pictures or writing



Plus I did take some good pics of the scenery (or at least I think there good pics!)

My niece Penelope

I just love this picture of Penelope. She was over at our house and she found my Ipod on the table and was carrying it around, so I showed her that she could listen to music on it. She walked around the house listening to it and letting everyone else listen too! She is so adorable!

Back to school

Audrey went back to school today. She was so nervous last night, I had gotten her to bed at 9 and she didn't go to sleep till after 11! I prayed for her 2 or 3 times and she finally looked at a bible story book she has and it calmed her down. I am so proud of her for being so brave and not complaining about going to a sorta new school again. She went to this school last year so she knows plenty of kids. She even has a few of her old friends in her class! Plus she said the teacher she has is very nice, I was glad to hear that cause I wasn't too sure about the teacher. I'm glad she's back at this school, I like the schools here better than in FL, they seem to teach better here. The school is much closer too!

Happy Easter!

My pretty girl in her Easter dress!

My brother Brandon, Audrey, and Me at Outback for Easter lunch.


It's Easter Sunday and it's pretty cold out today. I have to say we have very few warm Easters here in TN, but I'm not complaining! I still wore a skirt and flip flops and Audrey wore her pretty dress and sandals. Cooler wheather didn't stop us! We went to church of course, it wasn't the typical Easter service, it was just church.

I didn't have a chance before today to get Audrey anything for her Easter basket, not a good idea. The only place that was open was Walgreens, not that there stuff isn't any good, I just wanted to get her some cute stuff from Target. I did get her stuff she likes and I was happy that she was happy.



We even had our own egg hunt here at the house. Uncle BB came over too and Audrey just LOVED having him hunt eggs with her and help to hide them! He was actually fun to be around today, I think he's glad we're back in TN, even though he wouldn't come out and say so! I do love my brother Brandon and he's Audrey's favorite uncle too!



This is the fam on Easter. Me, Dad, Mom, Audrey, Brandon, and Eric.

Just another day in TN

I am really happy to be back! I like that I can get with my friend Carla anytime now, since I do live just a few minutes away! We went out to dinner tonight at The Tomato Head in market square tonight, just us ladies, no kids. I had a lot of fun with her, we haven't went out just the two of us in a long time. After we ate we went to a couple of stores down there and just looked around. It was so nice to be able to look around and not have a child whining about wanting to leave or wanting to touch everything breakable! We will have to do it more often!

Update on my pappaw:
He is at home now and is adjusting very well. He has learned how to get around the house in his wheel chair and is having therapy at home 3 times a week. He should be able to get a fake leg in about 6 weeks.
