HI November! 😛 Wow. How this year has flown by! SO I finally sat down and came up with a new fall layout featuring our Katie girl! I just now got done with everything because I had to fix all the colors and edit pages and whatnot.

Time to update about random life happenings! Of course as I mentioned before Brad & I moved into our new apartment and I have to say I REALLY love it! Helps with my tidyness because there are so many places to put things LOL! We’re adjusting well to our new church. Their all really nice but of course It’s new people and a whole new group to get to know. The town we live in now is nice too. We went to the town pet store this last Monday and the owner has a pet monkey! We were looking for chinchilla food and she only had 1 bag left that she had already opened but she said we could buy that and she didn’t take debit or check? Not sure why not so she said to pay her back when we return again! How awesome is that?!? Speaking of animals.. last month my Mom had to put down our 14 year old chihuahua Simba. He was getting too sick and was in pain but It sure was hard on Mom. RIP Simba. Onto jobs! Brad loves his new job and when he comes home he’s pretty much always in a good mood and smiling which I am so happy about! I think he’ll continue to like it too.

Katie D will be 6 months on the 18th of this month! WOW! She takes 7-8oz morning & night plus her baby cereal and about 6oz for her afternoon bottle. Can’t wait till she’s 6 months and I can start her on juice and baby cereal!!! She’s so funny. She’ll coo and make noises at her little plush doll and she seems to be getting stronger on the sitting up position so hopefully soon she’ll master sitting up on her own. I usually try to get her to bed by 7PM and usually she’ll look around or play for 5 minutes then she’s out. Her hair right on top of her head is growing just a tiny more, yay! Heh.

Our new President? I’m cautious. As if I were on the edge of my seat is how I feel about it. All this talk about a big change, big this big that. If he CAN give us great change, fantastic! I just feel worried though. Ugh, I don’t like politics and all that mess to begin with. Never have. I wasn’t for either of them but I really don’t like McCain. /End on politics.

What else? Brad and I are still going as strong as ever. December 10th will be our 3 year wedding anniversary! I’m so thankful for Brad. Love him & our Katie to bits!!! Well, I think this entry has gotten quite long so I’m gonna post it then possibly watch P.S. I Love You! I’ve been wanting to see that movie for a long while & we were supposed to get it with Netflix and we got a movie today and It was SUPPOSED to be P.S. I Love You and we opened it and it was Hitman, WTF? Brad is currently downloading P.S. I Love You on his computer so yay we get to watch it!

Hopefully I can get in the habit of posting more like I used to! 😀

WOOT new layout – had to put up a pink layout now that we know It’s a girl hahaha. I’m still working on finishing up the layout. May be a while. For now I’ve gotta get up and wash dishes, fold laundry, make up the bed and possibly call my Mom! Hope you guys like the layout! Have a great day! 🙂

Website: Newww layoout!!! Version 14! Not sure If I like it that much yet or not. I might wind up changing a few things around If I’m eventually not satisfied with it. I really like the header image. I espically love Maroon 5. Muah Adam Levine!! Muah muah.

Love: You know. Even though Brad can kindof irk me sometimes, (who doesn’t get irked every now and then tho?) I am just amazed at how close we are. He came into my life out of NOWHERE! I had no clue who he was. We were both love-struck when we met one another. We were laying in bed together the other night, with me laying on his chest. Talking about our first time’s and remembering all the memorable moments. He mentioned he remembers after he left my friends house after meeting me how he couldn’t stop thinking about me. I couldn’t help but tear up. Our first kiss. Brad said to me, “Was it like a kiss out of a Dawson’s Creek episode?” I smiled. It was, truly. My knee was shaking uncontrollably as I experienced my first true kiss. Remembering one night when Brad’s friend came over and while he watched over Brad’s little sisters we giggled our way upstairs to take our first bath together, lol. Brad lit candles and It’s one of those things you never forget. Spending the weekend with him.. him chasing me up the stairs and biting on my knee. (which tickles!) Memories are really dear to me. Every one of them. I am so lucky and blessed to have a love like ours. So very, very blessed.

Now I end with a very bittersweet song to match all this love talk.

what would you do if we woke up and the whole world was gone?
well would you believe with me is where you belong?
well there goes the world and we’re right in the middle
there goes the world and we’re right in the middle
i said leave me here. i said leave me here.. with you
as the city crumbles i see that there’s nothing left behind
as we lay here together feel your heart beat with mine
with time standing still, here is where we’ve always been
well there goes the world and we’re right in the middle again
i said leave me here. i said leave me here.
i said leave me here. i said leave me here with you…

Thought It was about time for a new layout since the holiday season is now pretty much over. Speaking of this layout, the Joey and Pacey image I made back in 2005 and had It set up for a layout on my website back then but never used it so It’s been sitting on my computer so I thought I’d put it to good use!

What do you think? I think It’s cute. LOTS of people complain about tiny fonts on websites nowadays – I remember when 7pt was everywhere. I personally still love to use it but I decided to go a little bigger with verdana for this layouts entries. I just don’t care for bigger fonts..

The weather here lately has been butt numbing cold! It’s 27 out right now says It’s gonna be down to 17 tonight. It was even colder last night! Guess what though? By next week our highs are gonna be almost 70 with some chance for severe weather. Fun! Nothing like crazy roller coaster weather to mess with you. :annoyed:

Yay yay yay, newww layout! Figured I’d go ahead and get a holiday layout up! I made/drew the snowman and tree in photoshop LOL. Don’t laugh too much at my tree.. 😆

Also adding a few new things to my sidebar! Attempting to fiddle with the weather widget & I’ve added the twitter plugin! 😀

Ummm what else? Not much, really! Brad and I rented some movies the other night — Pulse (OK movie), Spiderman 3 (actually really LOVED it!), I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (haven’t watched this one yet)

I wanted to rent License to Wed but they were all out, awww!!!

I tell you what, already I have the pregnancy brain going on. I’m constantly forgetting what I just said LOL. 😆 I’m just sooo happy to be pregnant!!!! 🙂 🙂 Man last night I was EXHAUSTED already by like 10pm! I think I went to bed around midnight but I was dragging by then!

How was everyones Halloween? We only got a few trick-o-treaters! Mainly because It’s a very, very small town and mostly everyone was at the main Halloween church event that was going on. Brad actually put a fake icky looking wound on his forehead! It looked awesome haha. So we have lots of leftover candy but I am going to avoid it LOL. I don’t need it!!!!!!!!

Also, notice the theme! I wanted something very simple for now so I snatched the theme from jenn! Very nice, simple theme which is exactly what I want right now and probably for a while! 😀 Oooh and finally some new smilies! Courtesy of bouncy-bubbles.net! 😀

sooo new layout! so far i like it. i think haha.

course it’s under MAJOR CONSTRUCTION. still have a lot do but i’m a bit buzzed and am now exhausted. both brad and his cousin are OUT right now. brad in his recliner with his laptop in his lap with his hand still on his mouse LMAO and his cousin sitting up on the couch, rofl. ill add more to this later todaay, gonna drag my hubby to bed! :loopy:

edit @ 10:04PM: thank you for the comments! :] still working majorly on the layout but gonna quit for tonight, surf the web a bit then play some LORD OF THE RINGS ONLINE!! have a great niiiight!!! 😎

Sooo here it is, layout version number 10!!! Let me know what you think of it! Umm, I changed my computers resolution to as high as it could go – which is 1280X1024 and I’m still trying to get used to it. I know it’s a pretty small layout but I like, I like. I still have to work on my pet page coz I accidently deleted most of the content on it haha. I really need to start going out and commenting people so maybe I can get some more visitors and comments!!! :grinny:

It’s been off and on again rainy/stormy here the last few days but that’s typical Southern summer weather. It’s been hot but not TOO hot. We need the extra rain though. In fact, It seems to be clouding up at this very moment. This last weekend, Brad and I bought a watermelon and yesterday I cut it up and put it into bowls. OH MY – it is dark red, sweet and juicy! Best watermelon I’ve had in a long, long time. We still have a whole bucket full in the fridge!!! Very, very good. :thumbsup:

Speaking of yesterday, after Brad came home from work he took his shower then I saw him go into the bedroom and to get something from my bottom nightstand drawer and I knew he was getting the clippers to shave. Usually he just trims up and such. For the longest time I’ve wanted him to get rid of his long goatee. I like a smaller goatee and his was just getting wild and longer. Well, yesterday after he was done shaving he ran to the bedroom and had the door almost closed and motioned for me to come then quickly shut the door, rofl. What a goof. I came in there and HE SHAVED HIS FACE COMPLETELY AH!!!!! Heheheh, I was so surprised! He put on his aftershave too which smells SOO good! I went in and kissed his chin and hugged hugged hugged him! Hehehe. Speaking of my babe, he’s been in a real good mood this week so far and I really hope the rest of the week is good for him too. :love:

I really think my hormones are starting to get back to almost-normal or atleast somethings going on coz I just feel overall different in a very good way. I’ve felt more energetic and just that feeling of wanting to burst with happiness and glee hehehe. And my body feels smaller so hopefully my hormones are kicking back to where they should be or atleast heading that way! OH and I’ve lost a few pounds even though I went on vacation and didn’t exercise + had lots of foods I probably shouldn’t have, lol but hey I’ve lost so that’s what counts!!!! Speaking of getting back to normal, all my life every now and then I get blisters. When I was little I’d get them on my fingers. As I got older, they started to pop up on my left underside of my arm. Now, they appear on my right palm. I hadn’t had one in like… gosh 2 years? Well, I noticed one about to make an appearance the other day so maybe that’s another sign my body is getting back to normal haha even though I have to see those blasted blisters again. Apparently, their like a form of cold sore type for me. Found out it runs in the family and I’ve got scars from them on my left arm. Ugh.

Okie, off to eat my late lunch then have some DELICIOUS watermelon! Have a great afternoon!!!!! :happy:

I’ve finally made up my mind what layout I want as version 9, LOL. This is it! Spring fever!!! Sheesh and I have spent ALL. DAY working on it! I still have a LOT to do with it but I’m out of site-editing power for now haha. :tongue:

I think It’s very cute and cheerful – which is what I think I’m all about and what SPRING is all about! Still have to edit the WHOLE sidebar and play around some with the footer a little bit more. This was originally a theme I found but I have really tweaked it and customized it. It’s a really neat theme! :thumbsup:

Ugh, PMS showed it’s ugly self this morning.. so we’re now moving onto our 7th month of trying to conceive. I tell you what, people who can get pregnant easily are really lucky! Ah well, I’ve heard It can take perfectly healthy people up to a year to conceive. Speaking of babies and all, Thursday night instead of watching ER (I taped it) I watched a new show called Notes from the Underbelly! Brad and I both thought It’s a pretty funny show so I look forward to watching that!

Well, I shall work on the layout probably tomorrow because tonight I’m gonna be busy getting tipsy (or moreso) with my baby! Have a great SATURDAY NIGHT! :drunk:

Hm, well this layout is one I made a long time ago and decided to finally use it since I never have! What do you guys think? Bringing back a bit of old style taste. I actually really like it! And what’s not to like about Incubus and BRANDON BOYD! :love: :love: :love:

Well to update on a few things: Brad traded in our van for a 2001 blue Dodge Ram 1500 quad magnum! It’s very very spacious, HUGE and an overall nice truck! He’s just happy to have a truck again hehe. 😎 Um but a NOT so cool thing happened this last Friday… he went to get us food from McDonalds and buy me sunflower seeds from the gas station place and when he came out, his tire was flat! Apparently SOMEONE SLASHED HIS TIRE! Brads Stepdad helped him and the next day they got a new tire. Evil people.. evil evil evil. He filed a police report and I hope they catch whoever did it. Ugh. Brad was furiously upset!

Doc’s appointment: A week from my doc’s appointment I missed the call for the blood results so I called back the next day and the woman said the doc said my hormone levels HAVE IMPROVED and she’s not gonna change the dosage on my meds and to come back in 6 months! WOOO I’m so excited that my medicine is INDEED working… now maybe my chances of concieving are a little better, maybe. :grinny: Speaking of hormones and all, I have been breaking out in pimples like CRAZY lately! I haven’t had this many pimples since High School! It’s insane. I found one on my nose today so I looked like rudolph for a bit. Hahah.

Website: I’ll try to redo the link colors and other colors + update my pages and all that jazz. Hopefully LOL. Sometimes I feel like I’m modivated enough to update things then I get to it and say forget it so we’ll see. I might make the front one point bigger, I dunno yet. I’d like to spruce up the site a little more but again, we’ll see we’ll seeeeee!!! :thumbsup:

Weekend: Well the town where my Mom lives is having their annual Railroad Festival this weekend. Brad and I have went every year since we’ve been together so we might go this year, not sure yet though. It’s supposed to realllly storm bad here Friday night into Saturday so I guess It depends but I’d like to see my Mommmmy!!! :tongue:

Online Job: I’m still working for the online search engine ChaCha but boy have I been slacking lately. :dead: I’ll get up in the morning and get ready to work only to sit there for like 30 minutes.. most of the time nothing happens or I get annoying or stupid searches and wind up saying forget it and closing out. I need more work willpower LOL. Brad said that we’ll use my ChaCha money as saving then when the year is over we’ll get to BUY stuff, yay!

Exercise: Well, I was doing pretty good with my exercise. Was doing like 3 miles a day back in February? Then I’ll get in a funk where I want to do nothing and slack in my exercise and “strict” eating. Right now I’m in major slack mode with the exercise too. Last week I only did a mile a day but I guess It’s better than nothing. Need to push myself to do atleast 2.5 or 3 miles to really get myself back into a good exercise schedule. Oh and my weight? *sigh* I’ve been stuck between gaining and losing the same 5 or so pounds and that sucks big time. Up and down. I hate that I have to fight so much to lose even a little weight. It’s so hard. But atleast I’m doing something instead of nothing!!! Just gotta keep modivated to keep going and pick myself back up into a regular routine.

Brad: Brad’s work has been really tough on him these last few months. I feel so bad sometimes coz I stay at home and he has to work a realllly rough tough job where he gets pushed around by older guys. He comes home almost every day either exhausted, pissed off or both. Sometimes he does have good days but for a while there It was all not good days. And our relationship is still the best! :love: I love him more than anything. I always try to cheer him up after work and talk him through the hard times. I love my sweetie.

Well this is the longest blog I’ve written on here in a long while! LOL. Enjoy it! It’s nearing my bed time (1AM lol) so I’m gonna wrap this up and get ready for SLEEP! Have a great Thursday!!!!!!! :grinny: :happy: 😉
