I am thinking of trying again

Ive been outu of the blogger world for a while, I may try again...lets see what happens!

Update on our week

We have had a change of plans. We actually got to close on our new house on Friday!!
Kennedy cannot have her tubes put back in her ears on Tuesday because she has been running fever every day so its not safe to put her to sleep with so much congestion we will have to reschedule that!
Surgery for Brian is still on for Wednesday and Logans adoption is tomorrow so thats the new plan!
Also Papaw is in the hospital and he is very sick so please pray for him! Hes a very strong person and hes in a lot of pain right now! Im really worried about April because he is probably the most important person in her life besides her children! Please keep them in your prayers!
Thanks I will update things later in the week!!

Lots of stuff going on these days!!

So...Things have been super crazy busy around our hacienda lately!!!
First of all, we sold our house, literally in 2 days. We were sitting outside Superbowl Sunday and we noticed that several families were circeling our subdivision so we decided to stick a FSBO sign in our yard so the first people who came to look at our house made a full asking price offer netting us over 20k so we are super stoked!!
Our new house is 2 doors down from our dear friends Marty and Pam and since we are dealing with health issues...Brians glaucoma we made the decision that being closer to friends could only be a good thing!!

Next week is a big one for us. Monday we are finalizing the cutest 4 year old child IN THE UNIVERSE adoption! We have been waiting for 2 and a half years for this day so its a huge one in our family! Logan will be forever ours! He already feels like he is but it will be nice for it to be official!

Kennedy has been battling ear infections again so its tubes in her ears on Tuesday!

Wednesday is glaucoma surgery for Brian in Memphis at the Hamilton Eye Institute they are glaucoma specialists so we feel that he is in good hands its still very scary but we have to pray and have faith!

Thursday back to Mempho for a post-op check

Friday its close on the new house day! Like I said a big week for us!! Everything must go like clockwork for each task to be accomplished so keep our family in your prayers this weeks please!!

Thats it for now!

Home Sweet Home

WOW!! What was that????

We had a major ice storm our city has been 80% blacked out we were included in that 80% I have never...repeat NEVER been without modern conveniences like hot water and lights!!
It was an eye opening experience we take so many things for granted I plan to take time to be thankful for these things!

Thanks to all the workers who braved freezing temps to restore services to our city!

We took the kids to a hotel for the first 2 nights, we were lucky enough to find a nice suite before everything in town was booked then on night 3 we spent the night with Mamaw and Papaw. Kennedy cried to stay with them the next morning she really missed having a home I think of course Mamaw hand fed her noodles too that will keep a girl happy!!

Today we are off and enjoying our warm electricicty filled home!

How did this happen??

Well last night we got a heck of an ice storm! We awoke to ice laden trees, icesicles hanging from the rooftops and the ice glistening in the sunshine.

Brian was off work for the day BUT who had to go to work???? ME of all people I had to drive to work, I dont know if I mentioned this or not but I had a fender bender last week in the dry!
I went to work and didnt have ONE cancellation instead I had people calling wanting to come in too! I was the only one that came in! Enough feeling sorry for myself, I did score a few bucks afterall.

I am happy to report that the weather is only going to get worse and I AM OFF TOMORROW!!!

I'm a reality show addict!!

The Real Housewives of Orange County- I cant wait to see what happens with Gretchen!



American Idol- I love to see the rejects make fools of themselves then I love to see the ones who can really sing get a chance at making dreams come true



The Bachelor- I admit it, I've been a fan since Season 1 (Krystal is an addict too, she encourages me ;) ;) ;)



I want to watch the Biggest Loser too but I havent figured out what time and day it comes on

Sad Sad News!

I just got a call from California, my oldest brother Larry called to share some awfully sad news.
His youngest son Matthew only 27, died in his sleep preliminary reports say respiratory distress.
I am still in shock and all I can say is the words I try to live by: Cherish every moment, enjoy every day because you just never know!
27 is so young!
