Cleaning out and Changing up

It's been a while yet again since I have posted. We have been working in our yard and at home a lot in the past week.

First of all, for the past two weeks, we have been on a mission to find a new dining room table. We only have a small dining area, so we had the hardest time finding the perfect table. Our current table was glass-top with metal chairs. Lily has ran into it so many times not seeing the glass on the table, and it was really hard for her to sit there and eat comfortably in her booster seat since she doesn't like her high chair and refuses to sit in it.

We searched in 3 cities at every store possible. Our problems included everything from size, height of the tables (love the pub height, but too tall for our house), chair cushions, color of the wood, etc.. We also could not find a table that had matching bar stools. We finally found barstools at one store and a cherry table at another store that match perfectly. Everything was delivered yesterday and I love it! We have always had a round table but this square works great. I think the room is almost bigger! I will take pics tonight and post them tomorrow. We are changing our kitchen theme from grapes-wine theme to a Tuscan theme with oranges, reds, and greens. We found the perfect picture to center our theme around at Kirkland's and I found matching placemats at Trees N Trends, so I'm exciting about changing up. We also have new countertops ordered and they should be installed within the next month. Our current countertops are the originals and our house is 40 years old, so it's time for a change. We have been ready since we bought our house to change them.

I will be posting lots of before and after pics, too and sure to keep everyone updated!


(PS: I cannot write a blog without mentioning Lily. Her latest accomplishment for this week is an embarrassing one..When we picked her up last week from her babysitter, she kept poking me on my chest saying "Boobies." I almost died, but it was so funny. She is still doing it to my mom, me, her dad, and even herself. Not sure where she learned it, but my, my, what comes out of their mouths.)

I love you!

Lily has always talked since she was an infant, but she just keeps impressing us. In the past month, she has started using sentences. She says things such as "what you doing?" ,"where you going" and "need some." She also asks "what's that" about everything, especially in her books when we are reading at night. We have flashcards with pictures and words that we have been working with her on and she knows over 20 of those. We have been trying to get her to say "I love you" forever and yesterday she finally started saying it. My mom called me and said that she was saying it to her. I was so excited!



Here are some pictures from the weekend. We went shopping for furniture. We are looking for a new dining room table and barstools, but we didn't have luck so our search goes on.

the worst visitor to our home ever..on Mother's Day, too.

We've been struck with the terrible illness called the virus for the last 6 days. Last Friday at 5 am, Lily woke up throwing up. She had never done this before so it scared us. I stayed home with her and she was so pitiful. She didn't let it slow her down, and we were able to get some medicine for her from her doctor, which was a miracle drug. It stopped her symptoms immediately and she was on the mend by Friday afternoon.

On Saturday, we stayed busy in our yard putting out mulch and we bought Lily a small 3 ft pool from Wal-Mart, so we worked on filling it with water. I was anxious about getting it because it isn't very appealing in the yard, but we managed to hide it directly behind our house so it isn't too distracting. (Lily absolutely loves it by the way, she just laughs!) I will add pics of her in it soon.

BJ and I were struck on Sunday with the virus first thing that morning. I was in bed all day..I was just so nauseated and feeling the worst ever...BJ wasn't as bad..thank goodness because he was able to take care of Lily. We were so disappointed though because we didn't get to go see our mom's and I didn't get to go to church. I didn't feel any better until 10 pm on Sunday night.

On Monday, we went to work, but still feeling rough and yesterday, I had to leave work at noon and go home and lay down. I am back at work today, BJ stayed home because he was feeling rough..I feel much, much better, Lily is better, and BJ is on the mend, so maybe we can get rid of this awful visitor to our home.

I am posting some pics below of Lily from Saturday. BJ's aunt and uncle have beautiful flower gardens so we took some pics over there late that afternoon.

Playing catch up and some home improvements..

Let's see where to begin. Our family spent last weekend in Birmingham. I had Junior Auxiliary National Convention since I am our Chapter President next year, I was required to go. We had a pretty good time. BJ was so excited because they were having a Crawfish Boil downtown next door to our hotel. 3 Doors Down was there on Friday night and we saw Fergie on Saturday night. Lily was out in the streets dancing. She loves music and dancing, so she had a wonderful time.

Lily waiting on the concerts to begin.

I am checking in to some dance classes for Lily because she loves dancing so much. As soon as music comes on, she starts moving. I think she would love the interaction with all of the other kids, too.





This week has been busy, but not too bad. I am ready for the weekend, just to enjoy some time at home and work in our yard. I made a list last night of home improvements that I would like to do inside and ourside of our house. We are constantly doing new things/improvements but we have been slacking for a few months.





Right now, our kitchen is currently palmetto green and it has been for 4 years since we moved in. I think I am ready to change it to a red -like color. I am scared though because its a bold color but I think it would look good with our white cabinets. We are also wanting to paint our laundry room an olive green. BJ is really happy with me because he usually ends up doing all of the painting. haha..That is only a couple of things off of our list, but I guess I am finally getting spring fever!

Been so busy...

I haven't disappeared from the world of blogging; however, things have just been so busy that I haven't had a chance to take time to write anything.



So anyways, things have finally almost slowed down...



Lily is suffering from a cold right now..possibly allergies. She is much better though than she was over the weekend. She has been miserable with a terrible runny nose. I did find her some cute things on a last minute shopping trip over the weekend.

To the left is a pic of Lily outside playing in her boots the morning after we got them. She couldn't wait to get outside even in her gown and price tag on the boots.




I am loving the weather here right now and wishing I could get outside more. We worked in our yard most of last weekend..updating flower beds and adding lots of new flowers. I am excited to watch everything grow and begin to bloom.



I have decided to try and make Lily some hair bows, since some of them can be so expensive. I have purchased supplies and since things have slowed down, I plan to try and work on being creative tonight. If things go well, I will post some pics..



Other than that, I have a convention in Birmingham this weekend for Junior Auxiliary, BJ and Lily are excited about swimming in the indoor pool and just relaxing.



I will try to post again later this week.

The circus!

Well, the circus was a blast! Lily absolutely loved everything about it!

I was really worried because it was quite cool outside but we took blankets in and we were comfortable until right at the end.

Lily was in awe of the elephants when we first walked in! She just loved them and kept pointing and saying elephant. The show got started and she sat so still, just taking everything in..every so often, she would clap and dance some to the music..She loved to see all of the animals..they had a horse show, puppy show, and elephants at the end not to mention tons of other performances throughout the almost two and a half hours.

During intermission, elephant rides were offered. Lily and her daddy took a ride and she just loved it! AFter the elephant ride, we went back to our seats but LIly was so excited and not ready to sit down so she and her daddy walked around for a bit. The next thing i know, the girl sitting next to me, says to me to look that my husband and baby are getting their picture made with a boa constrictor. I actually thought I was going to pass out in fear as my husband held this huge snake with my precious baby in his hands..he probably didn't hold it for 10 seconds but it felt like forever..He's in big trouble!! The picture turned out really good and I dont really think that Lily realized what we was going on..

My favorite part of the circus was just holding Lily and watching her enjoy the circus. I understand now why my mom took us to everything when we were small. It's so much fun to just watch your child enjoy herself and have the best time! As a parent, you want to accomplish that and I just know Lily had the best time ever! After the circus was over, she kept saying elephant in the car and just smiling..She loved elephants before last night but loves them even more now!

Below is the picture with the snake..its scary to even look at for me!!

Lots of Shoes!! and a pink car, too!

We had a good weekend! We spent Saturday morning outside working in the yard and decided to go shopping that afternoon. I wanted to go to Geoffrey's for a slide for Lily that was on sale.

We got to Geoffrey's and the slide was too small for her and just an awkward shape so we didn't it; however, we did find some other items! They had winter shoes for Lily, clearanced with an additional 50% off the clearance price. We found 6 pairs of shoes for $3 and under. A couple of pairs of cute boots, black patton shoes, and cute everday shoes..I was so excited and so was Lily! We got some of them one size bigger and others that seemed to be small two sizes bigger. While we were checking out, we found the new love of Lily's life! Up front, there was several display wagons and cars that were clearanced, I took Lily over to this pink car to distract her while her daddy paid for the shoes. Well, she wouldn't get out! She has never been one to cry over a toy and be upset if she didn't get something. When I saw that she wouldn't get out of the car, I rolled her to the cashier, hoping that the car was on sale as it was in perfect condition for a display. It happened to be $20 off the original price..so Lily rolled to our car in her new pink ride! She was so upset when we finally got her out of it to load it into our car. She just cried and cried for her "car."

We did lots of other shopping and didn't get home until 10. She woke up when we got home and played in her car until 11 when she finally made her park her car for the evening. Below are pictures of Lily playing in her car.

We are taking Lily to the circus coming to town this afternoon so I am excited and will post lots of pics tomorrow!

Lots of Snuggling...

I know there is a rule that you are not supposed to let your babies sleep with you. I have to admit I have officially broken this rule!

Since Lily was about 4 months old, she started sleeping in the bed with us. I usually would end up feeding her and she would sleep on my stomach and we would both fall asleep like this for a while. I, then determined that she would sleep longer, almost all night, when in the middle of her daddy and I. For the first several weeks, I would wake up very often checking on her making sure that the blankets weren't over her and that she was ok.

After she started sleeping with us, I realized something that she and I have in common. She loves to snuggle! She always wanted to be right under me. Usually, I would end up with my arm under her holding her basically while we slept.

We still snuggle every night and I look forward to it! She has to be right next to me, and I mean right beside me and she loves it! I always have a hard time waking up in the mornings because I just love holding her. I am actually in no hurry to get her out of the bed..I know this will be difficult when she grows older. I know I slept with my mom especially when my dad was at work, and I eventually made it to my own bed, but for now, I just want to continue snuggling with Lily.

(On another subject, I am looking forward to the weekend so much! I am also excited because we are taking to the small circus in town on Monday and I am off work next Friday. I hope that it will be a good week!)

Lily...growing up so fast!

We had a really calm weekend and enjoyed staying around the house. As I watched Lily this weekend, I realized how big she is getting. She has always been more mature than a lot of babies her age. She started walking at 10 months and has been talking for a while. Her vocabulary gets bigger and bigger every day. She loves books and looking at pictures, especially photo albums of our family. She loves to identify her "maw-maw", "pop", "uncle" ambi, shell, amy, nanny, pawpaw, and of course, "mommy" and "daddy"

She has also turned out to a girly girl. I guess I had a part to do with that, but she loves shoes. When she was an infant, she always kicked her shoes off and I was worried we would never get her to wear them, but now, she wants them on at all times. She also loves jewelry and loves to wear pretty clothes. When we put a new outfit on her, we show herself to her in the mirror and she usually responds with "awe-wee" lol..She also loves baby dolls and pretending that she is a little mommy to her babies. She tries to give them her "paci" and feed them her "snack"

On another subject, we decided to try and limit Lily's pacifier time. She is so very addicted to it, so with the help of her "Nanna Barbara" at daycare, Lily only has her "paci" at naptime and bedtime. She still asks for it every now and then, but we change the subject and she forgets about it. I wasn't quite ready to take it away from her, but I have to admit it has made life easier not having to look for one throughout the day when we have lost it. We keep them in a special place ready for naptime and bedtime.

This weekend, Lily started giving us signs of being ready to use the potty. This is something that we had no idea that she was ready for, which I am not ready to potty train my baby...she's too little, but to begin with, she has started telling us when she is using the potty in her diaper. Saturday night she took off her diaper, refused to put it back on, and we found her standing by the potty saying "Pee-Pee" She sat on the potty but immediately wanted off. She did the same thing Sunday night, so we purchased a pink Comfy Cushy Baby Potty yesterday. We now have it on stand-by for when she gets ready.

It's hard to even think about my baby wanting to use the potty! I know everyone says this, but it really does seem like she was just an infant, now she has herself convinced that she is a 3 year old instead of a 16 month old.

Finally the weekend...

I am so excited that today is Friday and even more excited that I get off of work in 20 minutes.

We had a small scare with my mother in law yesterday. She had been having bad chest pains and pains in her jaw during the night several nights in a row. She heard that jaw pains in women could be heart related, so my father in law made an appointment for her with a local cardiologist. He immediately scheduled her for a heart catherization the next day which was yesterday. She had 5 blockages - one 90% and the others only 20%. She was then sent immediately by ambulance to the hospital to have the blockage repaired with a stint. She came home today and is doing very well. She is now going to have a new diet, and has to quit smoking, which is a good thing. We have been trying to convince her to quit for a while, so we hope that she will. We are so glad that things were able to be repaired quickly because my father in law had his 2nd open heart surgery back in December and he is still recovering from it and has several other health issues. So that was yesterday. BJ, my husband, took the day off to go to the heart cath and I stayed at work because we were not aware she would be having surgery immediately so I worried him to death calling very often to check on her from my desk at work.

Last night, my parents came over for their usual every other week visit when my dad comes home from work. He works away for a week at a time, so he is always ready to see Lily when he gets home. Lily did not want her "mawmaw" and "pop" to leave when it got time for them to go.

On a completely different subject, Lily has not cried all week at the babysitter when I leave, so I have been happy or as happy as possible in the mornings.

For the weekend, we really don't have anything planned at all, but that should be a good thing. We usually end up staying way busy anyways...I think me and Lily may adventure to Wal-Mart tomorrow. It's always fun to go with just she and I.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

Busy, Busy, Busy...

I didn't realize that it has been so long since I posted. Things have been crazy busy, but are finally slowing down for me.

We had a really good weekend! Saturday afternoon, me and BJ along with Lily and her Maw-Maw (my mom) went out on the town. Lily got a nap on the way over and she was in a great mood for the zoo. Lily loves animals and is learning to recognize everything from a puppy to an elephant and monkey, so we thought since the weather was nice, we would take her. She was in awe at first and not sure what to think about seeing the animals. Halfway through, she got more excited and started pointing and jabbering, and it was so fun to watch her. We rode the train around the zoo and got out of there right before the rain started

Here are some pics:

She wouldn't look at us for the picture. She was too busy looking at the animals.










Looking at the peacock..after this picture, she took off running trying to catch it.











Loving the zebra













After the zoo, we went for lots of shopping and had a nice dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Lily was in a great mood all day and we had the best time!

I spent the rest of the weekend until yesterday getting ready for Bridge and Bingo, which is a fundraiser that the Jr. Auxiliary does each year. We decorate our own tables each has a theme and we sell tickets for ladies of the community to come and enjoy a lunch of salads and dessert and afterwards they can enjoy either Bridge or Bingo. We had around 96 ladies to come. I am Vice-President this year, so my boss let me spend the entire day helping, so today, I am exhausted, but glad that it went well and is over!!

Just waiting for the weekend...a calm week

I had a fairly boring day yesterday with not a whole lot to write about, so I decided to save it for today.

Good news is that the last two mornings have been much better with Lily. We have had to distract her some from crying but it has been nothing like Tuesday. It makes me feel so much better when she is glad for me to go in the mornings, lol..

We have so much fun with Lily at night when we are home. She is so silly! I think she would live outside if we would let her. We always take her outside when we first get home and let her see "my puppies" as she calls them. Yesterday, we had to drag her inside for supper. After supper, I worked on straightening her closet and getting a lot of her winter clothes packed up as she played in her room with me and destroyed it. Later, we took a break and watched Elmo. She is so obsessed with Elmo. She doesn't usually watch a lot of tv at night when we are home, but she did manage to watch about 15 minutes while dancing and running around. She watches most of her Elmo movies while we are in the car. My mom and dad got her a portable DVD for Christmas and it's a lifesaver. Lily doesn't really like riding even though I am a permanent fixture in the back seat with her since she was born whenever BJ is driving. I am surprised though how the Elmo and Sesame Street movies have taught her things. She can sing "ABCD" with the Alphabet song and she claps with several others and tries to do the things that the kids are doing in the movies.

Back to last night, in between the Elmo movie, BJ was in the kitchen watching the Results Show of American Idol. We have tried to keep up with it this season not watching every show but most, so he was telling me what was happening. I do not have much time for tv, especially new movies which we have probably only watched a total of 3 new releases since Lily was born, so we try to find at least one show to stay involved in.

At 9 pm, BJ and Lily were in the kitchen eating snacks and having a jolly ol' time, lol...we finally got her to bed around 10. She always went to bed at 8:30 - 9:00 pm until Daylight Savings time.

She had a really restless night and didn't sleep well at all. I don't like those nights..especially since she sleeps in the middle of us.

Today at work has been calm, just waiting on 5, as always..we went to a new shoe store here. It has been open for a couple of weeks, and BJ found a nice pair of shoes and they were having a buy one, get second half off sale, so I got my white pair of sandals really cheap! I wanted to buy Lily some, but they didn't have a whole big selection of her size 5 right now.

Anyways, I get so carried with this blog. I could type forever!

Have a good afternoon!

A rough morning..A Working Mom's Saddest Moments

Well, this morning was a rough one to say the least! Of all of the mornings that I have left Lily for me to go to work, every now and then, she is a little sad and maybe a little clingy, but especially not at my mom and dad's.

Yesterday, she cried when I gave her to my mom to leave, but I took her back and went to some toys that she loves, sat her down, and she was fine. This morning was a different story. She cried when I gave her to my mom, so I got her back. She practically glued herself to me, and would not let go. I tried the toys but it did not work today. Her daddy came and got her from me, but she still cried..I finally just had to leave my mom's house, crying too of course! My mom called us on the way to work and said that Lily was fine a few seconds later, but I am still not fine.

I was off work with Lily for the first 10 weeks of her life, and I dreaded returning to work and I think I cried the first week or possibly month that I left her. I still cry now when I think about it. There is not a morning that goes by that I am not sad to leave her. I have thought of every way possible for me not to work..and Bj and I decided that it was possible, but we would have to survive on half of the things that we have now and maybe make it through the month.

I've always known that Lily was being taken care of. My mom and dad have her on Monday and Tuesday. She goes to a daycare near our house the rest of the week. Her Nanna Barbara takes really good care of her, too and Lily loves her friends there. She is very outgoing and great with other kids as a result of being there. My mom and dad spoil her on their days, so I always try to tell myself that she is getting the best of both worlds, but on days like today, there is no convincing that we will ever help me leave my precious princess behind.

I have made the decision to work for Lily. I want her to be able to have nice things, a nice house, and be able to do the extra things that we couldn't afford if I didn't work. I never want her to do without. This is also why when I am at home with Lily at night. I spend every minute with her! We play, we dance, we make a mess, and do whatever we want. She has never been away from me over night and she nevers leaves my side on the weekend.

It's just moments like this morning that make me really sad and make me rethink my whole working situation. If you are a stay at home mom, please don't take it for granted because you do not know how many moms would like to be where you are today!

I will make it past today and hope that tomorrow is better, but it never gets easier.

Easter Weekend..Wow! I'm tired!

I am posting two new blogs today, my introduction blog, and this one. I couldn't leave out details of our Easter Weekend.

Our weekend started off really good! On Saturday morning, we took Lily to an Easter Party/ Egg Hunt at our church. Lily had so much fun! We have a small church and usually not many kids, but we had a great turnout Saturday. There were around ten tots under 3, so Lily had the best time playing the games with them. Below is a pic of Lily and some of the kids from the party..

That's Lily 2nd to last on the right. She was the youngest but didn't have any problems fitting in.

(Her outfit was sewed by a friend of mine. Isn't it cute?)

They played all kinds of games and had two egg hunts.

Here is a picture of Lily finding an egg.

She found most of the eggs on her own, and takes Egg Hunting so serious. She loves it though. After the party, we went by my mom and dad's house (Maw-Maw & Pop to Lily). They had a huge basket of goodies for Lily not too mention 6 new outfits, tons of new socks, and lots of snacks! They spoil Lily way too much, but I can't complain.

We then went to a neighbor's house to do some bargain shopping. She and one of my "myspace" friends are having a garage sale in a couple of weeks, but she was willing to let me come shop ahead of time. She has two little girls and happened to have tons of 18 & 24 month dresses just right for Lily. She had great smocked dresses for $10 and $ 5 each. I ended getting Lily 5 dresses and one bubble outfit! I will have to add pics! They are great and such great deals! I was so excited!

We dyed our eggs Saturday night and had Lily strategically placed in her booster seat on the bar away from the egg dye. when she decided to stretch her leg as far as it would go and knock the orange dye all over our freshly beautifully dyed eggs..nevertheless, despite the orange glow, the eggs turned out cute!

Sunday morning, we woke up way tooo early for Sunrise Service at church. We let Lily sleep until 6:15 when we finally convinced up to wake up by showing her what the Easter bunny had left her! She got a basket filled with goodies and a pink bubble-blowing lawn mower!

Notice Lily's wild hair..her daddy dressed her before she woke up, so all we had to do was fix her hair once she woke up!

We then jetted to church and when church was over, attempted pics at my mom and dad's house..un successful mission however, it was quite cool and Lily was even more sleepy! She fell asleep on the way to BJ's family's Easter lunch gathering so she managed to sneak in a good nap!

We had a great lunch with lots of good food! Everything from grilled chicken & hamburgers to hashbrown casserole and homemade macaroni...As usual, I ate way too much! We spent most of the day at BJ's uncle where lunch was held. Lily hunted eggs with her cousins, Hunter, Erin, and Amber and was so sleepy!

We went home and she took a 20 minute nap, which is never a good thing for Lily! I think she must have felt bad all evening because she was so fussy and wouldn't eat much at all. She has had a runny nose and small cough, so I just hope it's getting worse. She finally fell asleep at 7 which is way earlier than normal, but she woke up at 10, and it was 12 something before we finally convinced her to settle in...it was a rough night, which is rare unless she feels better!

All in all, we had a fun weekend, very busy one, and tonight I hope we can catch up and rest from the excitement!

Here are a few more pics from the weekend:

Lily's painted toenails! I put her in her booster seat on the bar to paint them that way she couldn't touch them until they were dry! She loved them!!

Lily with her daddy and her Pops..I think this was a sweet pic!

I loved Lily's outfit that I got at Dillard on sale back in January,
so I had to put a pic of her with it on. It has a cute top with buttons
but her sweater was covering those up.

Who I Am

Before I completely introduce you to my world, I felt like I needed to introduce myself first.



I am 25 years old. I have lived in the same county of Mississippi my whole life. I grew up in the same town in Mississippi. I have two wonderful, very loving parents and one younger brother. I met my husband, BJ in 2000. We both worked at the same place after school and for me, it was love from the beginning. We were the best of friends and dated on and off until 2003 when he finally realized we were meant to be, lol...he's going to kill me for saying that..We were married July 17, 2004 and bought a house in the same town different neighborhood and still live there today with our two dogs, Gracie Lou and Termite. We look working outside in our yard and love doing home improvements.


We both now still work for the same company, a different one now from where we met, but he tells everyone that I followed him here. It actually just worked out this way! At least, we get to save on gas!



Education wise, I finished junior college and was undecided on what the future held and really so tired of school that I went full time here at the bank where I have worked for 6 years. I have been everything from a teller, loan clerk, and now have finally landed in Marketing. I am not sure what the future holds for me, but try to make the best of every day..

The greatest joy in our lives arrived in 2006. We found out we were expecting a baby in April 2006 and we were so excited!! Our precious daughter, Lily was born November 28, 2006 and has been the love of both of our lives ever since...She is such a gift! She is growing so fast and learning so many new things, and we are enjoying every minute with her. I still have not convinced BJ to let me spend every day all day with her, but she is in good hands while I am at work.

Lily keeps us really busy and we spend all of our free time with her. I usually do housework and my hobbies after she goes to bed.

We attend a southern Baptist church and I teach 3-5 yr. old Sunday School there, which keeps me on my toes..I am also soon to be the President of the Junior Auxiliary which is a non-profit organization that helps the children of our county in May, so my life will only get busier.

All in all, I have a wonderful husband and precious daughter and wouldn't trade with anyone in the world!!

Easter Weekend

We celebrate Easter this weekend - Lily's 2nd Easter! Wow! How time has flown by! Last year was so cold and Lily had an eye infection, so I am excited about this beautiful warm weekend!

Lily is so funny with the eggs. She calls them "balls" and is exceptionally good at finding them. I was really surprised at how good she understands the concept.

We have a fun weekend planned. Starting with an egg hunt at church tomorrow...we will visit with my family tomorrow afternoon then attend our church for Sunrise service Sunday morning (7 am, way too early!!) I'm sure that the Easter bunny will leave Lily something special on Sunday morning, too. Then after pictures at my parent's house, it's on to my in-laws for lunch and lots of egg hunting.

I'm excited..you will soon learn that I am a picture taking fanatic..I have to get tons more added on here...but this will be a great weekend for lots of pictures.

It's time for me to part work in about 5 minutes. I don't touch the computer much when I finally make it home to Lily..so everyone have a great Easter weekend!!

Day Two

So it's day two of blogging..I'm working on a future blog to introduce myself. I have to snap some recent pics of myself and my house, and that kinds of stuff, so hopefully by this weekend, I should have something so you will know who I am.

Today has been a really boring day at work. BJ (my husband) and I went to Wendy's for lunch, then grabbed some things at Wal-Mart. It was so busy in there..we forgot that Easter weekend is getting close and everyone is out shopping. I did find Lily some very cute hairbows :)

This afternoon has went by so slow, but it's nice to not be so busy at work. My dad works away a week at a time and Thursdays when he comes home, he and my mom usually come to our house for a visit once we get home, but my mom called and invited us for supper tonight..so we are looking forward to that.

I am always so excited to see Lily every afternoon. Her smile is just so wonderful!

I hate to be so boring with my blogs, but I want to my "intro" blog before I confuse every too much, so I guess that's it for today!

It's a Whole New World!

Well, I seem to have officially joined the world of blogging! I am not sure what to say, but I am sure that I will find something to write about! I never have had a problem before!

Today has been a really long day at work! I always thought that work lasted forever but never realized that it lasts double the length of time when I am waiting on time to go pick Lily up from the babysitter.

I am especially ready to check on her today because she wasn't feeling the best this morning, and I know I could call her "Nanna" and check in on her but I trust her to call me if Lily was feeling bad.

Well, at least there's only one hour left...I guess I should be planning supper, wait! We have leftovers..it's going to be a good night!
