Productive Day

Today, I took a vacation day from work to spend time with Hubby. We have been doing things all day, not fun things, but still we have been together.

We bought new tags for our car and truck, took Peach to be groomed (she is adorable!), took the car to be serviced (expensive!!), and booked our vacation for August with the travel agent.

I am worn out and ready for some lazy time.

Music

What kind of music do you like?

I am a true southern girl and I love my country music. I am a big fan, even when no one around me seems to want to listen. The reason I am blogging about this is mainly because last night I watched George Strait being honored for his major accomplishments in the business of country music. I am a huge huge fan. It takes me back to my childhood.

Every Saturday morning my mom would get up and clean house. She would turn on music and usually it was George Strait. Listening to other singers last night sing his songs brought back so many memories. It was neat to sit and think back to the first time I heard those songs, and how much they mean to me.

Again!

I don't think that I will ever get back to blogging on a daily basis, however when I do the summary blog (again!) I do have more detail and that makes it that much more interesting. So, lets get started.

Daily Life (and Peach!)
Nothing major is going on in our daily life. We are just working and living. Nothing much going on. Hubby is on vacation this week, and I was planning to take a few days myself. We planned to return to Atlanta and see the aquarium. Since I won't have a job most likely after July, I am going to work and only take one possibly two days. We have lots of errands to run on Friday so we will have quite the busy day. Not to mention, my cutesy little puppy finally gets a haircut. We haven't been able to take her with both of us working. The place isn't open late and its closed on weekends. I will share pics when she is finished!

My Uncle
He is at home!! Praise God! I haven't gotten an update in the last few days, I am guessing my Aunt is adjusting to life at home again and trying to make sure he is taken care of. I hope to be able to go visit soon, I just don't want to be in the way or be more of a hassle to her. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. They work!!

School
As of right now, I don't really know what I am going to do. Since failing the test, I haven't been so sure that I want to go to that particular school and take the classes that I really don't need. I am pretty sure I am just going to go to the Tech School and get my degree.

The House
The house that I blogged about wanting weeks ago that is finally for sale... I called about it. Its actually in the price range that we were looking. Let's just see if its still for sale when we are able to purchase. Keep your fingers crossed.

Girls Night
E and I went to see this movie the other night. Actually we had dinner, shopping, and a movie. We had a great time and the movie was funny. I love both of the main characters so I knew I would love it.



My Mother in Law is now in Romania on her mission trip. She left yesterday afternoon and was to arrive there sometime this morning. We won't be able to talk to her much so I just have to pray that she will be okay. She returns next Tuesday. Keep her in your prayers as well.



Last but not least. Happy Memorial Day! We are headed to my mom's for dinner in a little while. I love that woman's cooking!

Girls Night

Tonight E and I are going to watch this movie. First having dinner and doing a little shopping.

I will blog about it, I am sure.

The real reason....

Happy Memorial Day!

I promised and I lied

to all of you!

I said I was going to keep my blog more up to date and post more. However, thru the week I rarely do anything other than work and come home to do absolutely nothing because I am stressing majorly over how much we have to do in a day. By the time I get home, I am mentally drained and I crash.

I do have a few updates to share with you though.

My Uncle
He is a lot better. He can feed himself, and he can talk. He wasn't much of a talker so at this point they are still unsure of brain damage. They are trying to regulate his blood gases, whatever that means. Once they are able to do that then they will go from there. He hasn't been up out of the bed in over a month so his muscles are very weak and he will have to have lots of therapy. Keep him in your prayers. Our God is amazing!

Work
...is super crazy. We are busy from beginning to end and rarely get a moment to stop and relax. We only have 47 days left, and they intend to work us up until the end I think. My GM came to us on Thursday (just another co-worker and myself) and asked if we would be interested in staying on after July 2nd if they needed us. I think that depends on how it affects our unemployment. I can't just walk away from it not having another job or able to draw unemployment so I guess we will see how that all plays out.

School
I am still unsure about. I failed my math test so that means that I will have to take the lower classes before I can take the required classes. However, there is another school here, a tech school that offers pretty much the same study I am interested in. I don't know how the diploma's compare though with one being a tech school and one being a college. Any idea?

Vacation
I had said before that The V's weren't vacationing this year, but we changed our mind. Hubby gets three bonuses a year and has decided he has earned a very well deserved vacation. We are taking a cruise with Carnival again. Just the two of us. This will be our very first vacation alone and we have been married almost 7 years!! We always travel with others. I am excited!!!

Home Buying
Hubby and I will be trying to purchase a home later this year. We will hopefully be at the point where we can get what we want... depending on our money situation when that time comes.

I'm going to be rich!

I called my husband at work today, told him he could come on home. He can quit his job right now, because we won't need that money anymore.

See, I came home from work and found a note on my kitchen counter. It said:

I need more of these please, thanks!- Peach

This note was right beside of a bag of beggin' strips. This means our dog can write, and therefore, I am going to be rich!

I promise to still blog from my vacation home(s)....

Happy Mother's Day '09

We had a very wonderful day. Hubby and I started by having lunch at his Mom's. We bought her two candles. They are made by Paula Deen and they smelled good enough to eat! She didn't cook for us because it was her day so instead we had KFC's new grilled Chicken. Hubby was quite impressed, but I didn't even try it. I am not a big chicken on the bone person...ha!

Next, we spent the evening at my mom's. She mentioned she wanted a new desk chair, so Hubby and I planned to purchase one. After realizing all the different types they have, I decided it would be best to let her pick it out. So instead we bought her a card and I drew her a chair and told her we owed her one of them. She was surprised and laughed at me for it.

I have to add.. I am oh so very blessed to have these two women in my life. My mom is the most supportive person ever, and I would not be who I am if it wasn't for her. She takes very good care of me still and I love her dearly. My Mother in Law is the best as well. She has done so much for us since we have been married and I don't think I could have asked for a better in law!

To end our day, we came home, I popped popcorn, and we sat and watched The Unit season finale. That is by far our favorite show!

Rehab

My uncle is in rehab. He was finally able to be removed from all the machines he was on except the ventilator. He has it just in case. He can talk a little and answer questions, he is watching tv, and resting a LOT! My Aunt said the doctors were concerned with the fact he wasn't talking as much as they would like, but they just don't realize he was never a talker before the heart attack.

Please continue to pray for him and my family. If ever we needed a wake up call, this was surely one!

Saturday Happenings...

Today has been such a relaxing day, at least for the most part.I did not get out of bed completely until noon, and I haven't done that in forever. It felt great to just be lazy. The whole day hasn't been a waste thought because I did my grocery shopping, went to Hallmark and got Mother's Day cards, and ended up at walmart for their gifts.

Hubby is going to cook steaks on the grill for us tonight and we will most likely end up watching a movie. Tomorrow will be a busy day as we, like most of you, will have two families to celebrate with. I will have details about our busy day tomorrow evening.

Happy Mother's Day!

Small Town...

First, let me begin by explaining recent name change....

I had began to hate blogging, I didn't want to nor could I find anything that I wanted to blog about. I think it was because I had some things going on in my life that were rather upsetting. Now that its finally settling down I can finally feel more like myself. No point in dwelling on the past so I thought why not rename it and start over. Let's make this about me and my family along with the important people that I am blessed to have in my life. I feel free and able to share and talk about myself again and now I don't feel like I have to try to be someone that I am not just to entertain the reader. I am going to be me!

This new blog title seems to describe life for me, and I think its cute. It took me several days to come up with something that I thought would be fitting.

Please stay tuned for a catch up blog along with details about my giveaway!

Changes and a Giveaway
