Sloss Furnaces

Thanksgiving Break

Well, this week has gone by way too quickly for me.  I can't believe I only have Sunday to go and then it is back to work.  But, we only have 3 weeks until we get out for Christmas break.  My oh  my!  How time flies.

Thanksgiving was good.  We went to Alabama again this year and had the kids.  Besides the lack of sleep and hormones raging, everything worked out great.  I got to see Breaking Dawn again with the cousins.  I still love this movie.  I can't wait to see it again soon.

Of course, I didn't do Black Friday shopping.  I just don't see the point in fighting with people and ruining my sleep.  :)  So I slept and we came back on Friday.  It was a wonderful sight seeing our house. We missed our beds.  We look forward to next year when we can go back.

While in Alabama, the girls and I went to Sloss Furnaces.  I will post those pictures in another post.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Been A Long Time

I can't believe I have written anything on here in a loooooooong time.  I guess because life has been so hectic and school/work has been taking up most of my time.

School is going good.  Stressing out a lot.  Lots of things to accomplish in such a short amount.  Sometimes I don't even know if my mind is up or down.  :)  But, that is pretty normal in my case.  I love the people that I work with and I couldn't have asked for a better crew.  My class has ups and downs but not one class is perfect.  We work on it everyday and we start each day with a renewed vigor that makes me happy.

Kids are doing good.  We had a few issues earlier in October but they are better now and we are moving forward.  Hopefully.  Kaylie is ending her third year in cheer this year.  We are unsure of whether we are going to do this again next year.  I just don't know if I will be able to handle it with the baby and all.  It seemed as if I was never home this year.

Baby is good.  We are having a little boy.  We are naming him Collin Joe or CJ.  Of course, one person I work with calls him Bumper.  I might stick with that for a little bit.  I think it is cute.  I ordered and received Collin's bedding for the crib.  Now, all I need is the crib.  :)  Mom's working on it.  LOL!  Scott started painting the furniture that we are placing in Collin's room yesterday.  I love it so much!  I don't think I have ever had such mixed emotions about something before.  I'm scared, happy, sick, afraid, and sometimes confused.  :)  Oh well, I guess that is the ups and downs that I will have to deal with until I hold Collin in my arms.

We are heading to Alabama for Thanksgiving this year.  I hope we don't have to stop so many times because I have to go potty.  :)  We are gonna be there for three days.  I hope the kids bring some things to do.  I can't take anything to help with my nausea this year so I won't be working/reading in the car.  Oh joy!

November 18th, I am heading to the movies with 5 other girls to see the new Twilight movie (Breaking Dawn).  I seriously can't wait.  What also makes that day awesome is the fact that it is the last day of school before Thanksgiving Break!  Whoo-hoo!  So I will leave you on that note and with an older picture of Collin.  Love to you all!
