Yes, I created a "logo" for the event and you can laugh, because I even made T-shirts for all six of us haha!. . . . I know it's a bit ridiculous, but I think it's going to be really funny! And No, I don't have too much time on my hands, I have just been staying up late, lately!! I think they turned out really well, Jarrod even likes them. He actually said he'd wear his on Saturday!!

. . . pictures will posted after the weekend!

It's just Wednesday?

It really seems like it should be Friday! This has been a long week. . . last Friday I had some girlfriends from church over for dinner and movies. My friend Amanda can't go out in public with baby Landon until spring, since he is a preemie and is still so susceptible to virus's and he's a cutie pie which means germy strangers might want to come up and touch him! And she can't have that!! So, we had a small get together so they could get  out of the house. I did hold him and it was kinda scary! He is so tiny! And he has to wear some monitors. I wish I had taken some pictures, because he really is a cute baby!   Taki was very interested in him, she want to smell of him and get into his things, so we had to put her up for the evening. We had a really fun time and ended up not even watching any of the movies I rented!

Saturday Jarrod's parents came to Jonesboro and we went to dinner and then Jarrod and Terry went to the ASU game while Margie and I did some shopping! We had so much fun, and even indulged in some dessert. . .shopping and dessert? It just doesn't get much better than that! I really am so fortunate to have a mother-in-law that I like to spend time with. I know so many people that have a strained relationship with their in-laws, but not me they really make me feel like I am just another one of their kids! I know I am very lucky!

Sunday I woke up with a horrible sinus headache and sore throat and cough. . .ugh. I started to feel a little better by the afternoon and after church Sunday night we met with our Friends Forever group for Pizza. I am still suffering from a cold, it is just a part of the stuff in the air and weather changing, I guess.

Monday my mom was in town to run some errands and so she took me out for lunch (at SFBC one of my favs!) and then after I got off work she was still in town so we convinced my dad to come to J'boro, too so we could all go out to eat. 

Last night when we got off work we headed out to shop for Margie's birthday which we are celebrating this weekend. . . we are going to Searcy Friday for her birthday and are having a HUGE garage sale at Terry & Margie's house on Saturday.  It should be another busy weekend!

I am taking off work on Friday so we can get to Searcy early and start working on the garage sale stuff. . . there is a lot of work involved in getting things ready!

I LOVE fall!

Cat in the hat?? How about Cat in a drawer?!

  Seriously?!? What is she thinking?? We were laying in bed watching tv and I had my nightstand drawer open and here's what happened! She is definitely entertaining! By the way the funniest thing was watching her try to squeeze in there and trying to lay down.  Very funny! I don't think she realizes how big she has gotten! This is just one of many funny places she has found lately!

 

Finally Complete!

The mirror for our dresser finally came in today, and I am so happy that this room is DONE! Well. . .almost. . . we are going to get a new tv in the near future, but we are still researching for that purchase! I really love how it all came together!

First trip to Texas de Brazil. . .

We have been trying to get this night out scheduled for months now, but something was always going on, or someone (uh,um Jarrod) was always gone! Everyone else had been several times before. I think they go at least a couple times a year, but it was our first time to go. We had reservations at Texas de Brazil in Memphis at 6:30, which seems like the best time to go because by 7pm the line to the salad bar area was insane! I wasn't necessarily looking forward to eating there because I'm just not a "meat" fan. I like some things sometimes, if they are cooked really really well done. But of course I wanted to go to spend times with our friends and Jarrod was really looking forward to it.  I was amazed at the different types of things were at the salad bar. Jarrod tried several new things, including smoked salmon, which he liked a lot!  The meats were pretty good, I didn't eat any steak, because the ones I got were all raw. . .not rare, but raw! Jarrod and the rest of the guys LOVED it. In fact we where there for 3 hrs eating! Then we came back to Jonesboro and had dessert at Cafe Buono. It was a really fun night!  We are really sad that Brian and Amanda will be leaving us soon. Brian got a new job in North Carolina and they will be moving! Brian is actually leaving Monday and Amanda is staying behind for the time being to sell their house. We are really going to miss them. : (

Jarrod is on his way home!

He called me this morning at 6:30 and said they were on the road and headed towards Arkansas! It surprised me since the last thing he told me was they would be coming home on Friday. He said he wasn't 100% sure that they were going to be able to leave this morning so he didn't tell me about it last night. He should be home sometime around 3pm. I think I am going to take off work a little early this afternoon so I can be there when he gets home. I need to go shopping! We have no "real" food in the house. I don't even have bread or milk! I have been living off soup (which I could eat everyday) and crackers and York peppermint patties. So, I guess I need to go restock our pantry with "man-foods" again. . . .
