WELL

Well Im here ! The plane ride went GREAT ... I was so nervous about that but it was just awsome. He loved it .. when we landed I told him we were in Tx and he was like NOOOOOOOOO FLY IN THE SKY !!!! He made me sooo proud. We have been staying with good friends. I have been making her husband work hard .. helping me do stuff (she is preg too so we are double teming him) haha !! SO Tim owes him big time for dumping me on them. Just kidding we really love this couple , they are awsome friends to have. It pretty much is crazy here ... inlaws & grandmother still have No power. Trees through houses .. in the yards . Hopefully they get the power back on and people can start returning to some what normal soon. I have my 1st ob appointment on thursday .. im hoping it goes well :) Ill keep every one informed. I still feel like im just on a vacation... like ill be going back to GA soon. Even though I know it isnt the case it hasnt really hit me yet. I miss you ga girls .. take care and email lots !

Crazy Busy morning ... rambling about it :)

Wow .. so its 2 and im exhausted. This morning at 10 I had a Ob appointment to hear heart beats of the babies. So we drive our 45 min drive (yes .. we drive a while for our dr's.) we get there and wait FOREVER.. usually we get whisked back very fast. So when we do finally get back we are left sitting for a little wheil longer .. she says they cleared my OB records out already. Even though they new i had one more appointment. So the nurse was NOT happy haha but it was taken care of. I also had to pick up my medicl records and was flipping through them.. I read that when I was pregnant with Ryan i had a bleed as I do with these babies ... but I actually didnt bleed out. NUTS !! The dr. was happy to hear strong heartbeats for my last appointment & she wrote a note that is going to get Tim back to the gate at the airport to help settle Ryan .. YEAAAA (wont be me chasing hi every where till boarding time. Then we ran across the street got Ryans med records... headed to the attorneys office to sign power of attorney papers so tim can sell the house. Then off to the bank to make sure the move we wouldnt need to change our account. Said bye to all my fellow old co workers. Had lunch .. now im home .. ready to catch up on some tv. Crazy morning .. but HAVE so much accomplished :)

Its been 4 years already ...

Wow time has flown by ... Tim & I have been married for four years today :) . We got engaged in feb 04' ... and planned on getting married in july 05'. Well things didnt work out that way, Tim interviewed for a job here in Ga in aug 04' & got it. So that ment we were moving to Ga. We both decided that a wedding in Ga would mean some family & friends couldnt be there... and being in Ga planning a wedding in Tx would be so hard. So we got married at the justice of the peace and then that weekend we had a reception at a small Italian resturant that I had worked at on & off for a few years. All of our close family & friends were there it was so nice. i wouldnt have traded it for ANY wedding in the world. Sometimes I think I missed out on the getting a wedding dress & a fancy dance ... maybe one day we can renew our vowels on a pretty beach and I can get my pretty dress. But its not about that ... its not about the big wedding or the pretty dress .. its about the love you share. And our love has made one awsome little boy and two more babies on the way. I cant wait to grow old with this man. Now Im not going to sit here and say every day is a fairy tale .. haha No .. there are slamming doors, screaming, and just wanting to throw stuff . But we move through it ...and one thing we both admit we are stubborn, spoiled but cant stay mad at each other for long. I think that makes us a strong couple .. we move through our tiffs fast & get on with our lives together.

Relief

Sheww .. what a relief ! Both of our familes are fine from this hurricane .. and some of our friends I have gotten ahold of are ok too. Lots of trees are down & there is lots of water. No power ... but our families have a generator & plenty of food. It took some time this morning to get ahold of my grandma... scared me a bit. Paul tried to get over and check on her.. and trees were in the way but he made it just about the same time I finally talked to her. She had a tree fall on her porch .. then the second half of the storm came in and sat it up straight again. NUTS !!! So now that tree is just a ticking time bomb on when it will crash again. I was looking online at some pictures .. im so glad that texans have humor in times like this. One of the signs painted on the wood over the windows read IKE GO AWAY , TINA iS NOT HERE !! Im thinking "Who is Tina ??" then it hit me ... Duhh Ike and Tina turner ahhaa that was great ! So glad that they are ok

Inspectors and such !

Yesterday the man came for the aprasial. Today the termite guy & the Inspector are coming. I had a time frame for the Inspector but not for the termite guy. So with that said .. Ryan & I are sitting here missing a playdate :( that we were looking forward too. So we packed all of our kitchen stuff since i shouldn be up cooking yt anyways. Well ... not knowing when the men are coming ... and not having kitchen stuff & having not made a trip to get some groceries .. what are we going to eat for lunch ?? Im somewhat creative... I guess Ill figure somthing out :)

11 More days of georgia !

Wow its coming to an end very very fast. I am very much going to miss my GA. friends. They are all so speacial to me. Each and every one of them has great qualities and I am so thankful for getting the chance to meet them.. and thankful for every time they were there for me when i needed them . Their children have became great friends to Ryan, I hope that we can see them many more times in our lifetimes. Take a few trips to Ga or meet up in FL. Im just so Thankful for them all. Im also going to miss the awsome pumpkin patch ... the beautiful christmas tree farm.Eating at the dillard house. Going to the mountians on days we had nothing better to do. And the just peaceful life in North Georgia.

Budget... Thoughts (just read my friends libbys blog .. got me thinking :) )

Ok as some of you know we have been a follower of Dave Ramsey for awhile now. I must say he has really helped out our marriage. Tim and I fought alot over money .. well I read Daves book "The Total Money Makeover" and I told tim ok I agree lets do it. Well as Tim calls it I "Got on board". So off we went... stated making a budget.. got our 1k emergency fund & started our debt snowball. (BY THE WAY THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING PART .. watching the debt go away soooo fast) . We also save a little each month for those end of the year bills . car ins, HOA dues, even christmas. By sticking to budget .. we can put LOTS twoard our debt. But not only is it about how much money we can put extra to bills, but its the lifestyle we learned. We have learned to say No. No we cant do that becuase its just not in the budget.. or I really want to get a babysitter and go out .. but cant aford it. If we know somthing is coming up we add a little more to the budget that month. Its funny becuase Ill tell A close friend of mine No i cant afford that .. she laughs .. she thinks Im nuts. Becuase in all honesty we can afford it. . just choose not too. We choose to pay extra to that pesky debt that hangs over our head. Well with this new move its going to be SUPER hard to stick to budget... so my friends Ill need help. Help me stay CHEAP !!! Im going to try super hard so we can save quickly for the down payment so we can be homeowners again :) I GOT TO STAY STRONG .. Im going to be re reading this alot .. to remind myself how good i know this is for us.

Wow its hot in here !

So since saturday our AC has been going out. Well we had a man come look at it today, AND there is a leak in the wall. So the right thing to do is go ahead and pay the 300 to get it fixed. The buyer of our house is getting it inspected end of this week or beginning of next. So we are confessing there is a problem and we are paying for it. Hopefully that does not make a diffrence to the inspector !! However TODAY has been miserable with NO AC ........ Now its going again and feels just awsome :)

Lets play catch up ....

SO our house is selling closing on the 24th... my plane tickets are bought for the 20th to be back in Tx for good. Tim will follow us a week after .. ill be giving him power of attorney so he can take care of selling our house. We even got a chunk of money from his company to cover moving cost .. WOOO HOOO !! So nice not to worry about that. I have mixed emotions about this move... I have been in ga four years this month. And it has been good to us. We were young .. married and came here to start our life... and that we did. We had our baby here ... This place will always be so speacial to me. It taught us a new way of life. NOW I hope that we can continue this in Tx. We have changed so much since leaving... I hope our old friends realize and respect that. ( I honestly belive they do.. and they admire it). AND THE BIGGEST NEWS ... We know that baby A is a BOY !!! Baby B was being stubborn and would not uncross its legs. COME ON BABY B BE A GIRL !!!! PINK PINK PINK (Of course id be just as happy with blue too )

Sneezy Me !

I just cant stop sneezing ... Its horrible and hurts my stomach I sneeze so hard. Seriously .. give me a break ! Ill report later on how the dr visit went. I go at 1:30... also think we have some good news. But not ready to let that cat out of the bag just yet !
