One Amazing Weekend..

Things have been extravagantly busy around here lately! I feel as if I haven't had time to do anything! Last Thursday, I had a Tri Delt Alumnae meeting and headed to Meridian to drop Sophie off. I headed to Starkville on Friday for Super Bulldog Weekend, and let me tell you it was a super weekend! My friends and I went out on Friday night, went to the Cotton District Art's Festival on Saturday, and went out again Saturday night. I headed back to Meridian on Sunday to eat lunch with my family for my birthday and headed back to B'ham last night! To say that I've been on the road a lot lately is quite an understatement! This weekend was absolutely nothing short of amazing! All of my friends were in town and it was soo good getting to see all of them! I have such wonderful friends and family, and I cannot thank you all enough for making my birthday so special! Love you all!

Well, we have one burning bush..

A lot has happened since I have moved.

And yes my friends, you read correctly, we have a burning bush.

It is approximately 12:00 a.m. and I am watching a fire truck put out a burning bush in an apartment building right over from ours.

My apartment officially smells like a forest fire.

Brand new apartment, really big rat, and now a burning bush...I don't want to fathom what is to come..

Somedays..

Somedays, this sweet little girl..

..makes me want to do this..

Any takers? She's super sweet...on occassion :)

Lately..

This sweet little girl has been keeping me busy!

Her new favorite place to be is in front of our door!

She will sit and look outside for hours!

And she's got quite the talent..walking around on two legs isn't easy, you know!

And of course she likes to nap..

She has recently become obsessed with watching t.v...

And some things just never change..

..she still hates bath time!

But her all time favorite part of the day..

..is going for a walk in the park!

And then, back to sleep! Tough life, huh?

It seems as if things have been super busy lately, but so much fun!

You know that you're getting old...

..when the Master's becomes halway entertaining to watch!

..Or maybe I was just that bored?!

But congrats to Phil either way!

Who would have ever thought that golf is fun to watch?

I was out and about today, and found myself in a hurry to get home to see who won!

It's the little things in life..

On another note, the city has been extravagantly fun lately! Wednesday night I went to a Young Professionals get together, I attended Thirsty Thursday at the Baron's game with a few friends Thursday night, layed out Friday and Saturday, and hit the town both nights with fun friends! My weekend concluded with church this morning and I cleaned all afternoon! Life has been so fun lately, and I've got another busy week ahead!

I've got a Tri-Delt Alumni early Cinco-de-Mayo party on Thursday and I'm off to Starkville for Super Bulldog Weekend on Friday!! Soo excited!

Hope you all have a wonderful week :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!

I hope that you all had a fabulous Easter weekend!

I spent Thursday in Tuscaloosa, and the weekend in Meridian. Last night, I went to a crawfish boil at a friends and today we had both my mom and dad's families over for lunch (and my mom's birthday). I headed back to B'ham tonight with my sweet little Sophie. She was much better than expected, on our journey back that is! Her last (long) car ride was over six months ago. Today, I put her in her carrier (in which she absolutely despises) and she only yapped(okay it's more of a very high pitch shriek) for about 15 min. She has been super sweet all day with the exception of her being extremely clingy. Any advice?

She is normally very good at adjusting to new places, but this time she hasn't. I left to run a few errands tonight (a few hours after we got home) and I ended up having to take her with me; she just wouldn't stop whining when I left. Tonight I watched a movie and she snuggled right up beside me through the whole thing, and she is currently snuggled right up next to me in the bed. She will not sleep in her own bed, in which is on the floor right beside me.

In all honesty, I'm extremely allergic to her and all of her fur, but I just ignore that, take something for it, and go on about my day (b/c I love her of course!). But I do have a white down comforter, and I just really don't care for all of her black hair on it, not to mention that sleeping in the bed has never really gone over well for the two of us in the past. Any suggestions?

I've got a meeting at work in the morning, I'm crossing my fingers she has "adapted" by then! If not, I'm in for it..I just can't take all of her whimpering!

Hope you all have a wonderful work week :)

Hurry Up Weekend!!

I'm pretty sure that this weekend couldn't come any sooner!

Is it terrible that I began this weekend's countdown before last weekend ever ended?

It has been one of "those" weeks, but yay for the weekend!!

I'm headed to Tuscaloosa for the day tomorrow, and then onto Meridian tomorrow night! I also forgot a pretty important birthday..

My mom's birthday was on Tuesday!! Happy late birthday mom, I hope you had a wonderful day!

Needless to say, we will be celebrating tomorrow night in Meridian.

But what makes the weekend that much sweeter, is that I get to see this sweet face TOMORROW!!!!!

I've missed this sweet little girl...a lot!! I feel like the worst pet owner in the world for leaving her at home, so I'm thinking of bringing her for the week next week! I've never really left her before, and to say that I miss her would be quite the understatement! Little Soph got her first haircut today, so I will definitely be adding pics very soon!

On another note, where has this year gone?? I absolutely cannot believe that it is already APRIL!! And it's Easter weekend! My how time flies!! I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!!

Scarred for Life..

I would post a picture, but I'm pretty sure it would only make things worst. As I'm sitting in my bed talking on the phone tonight, I see something flash before my eyes (and quite frankly, at this point I just thought I had lost my mind). Not even seconds later this big, brown furry rat runs up under my door (in which is shut), and into my closet. I'm pretty sure that I screamed loud enough for everyone in my entire apartment complex to hear me. Then, this terribly ugly creature decides to dash right back out of my closet, up under my bedroom door, and out into the den. I couldn't keep my composure! That little guy was so fast and so ugly, who would be able to? At this point I hear a neighbor outside my window...yes, I'm pretty sure they came to see what was going on. If he only knew what it really was.

So three traps, a rodent detector thing plugged into my wall, and a blanket under each door later...I think that I may, and may being the key word here, make it through the night.

The irony to this story is that I live in a brand new apartment complex in a nice area of town. Last year, I lived in a 1920's loft (okay a really cool dump) in an extremely outdated apartment. Now why this year and not last year? Who knows!! But at least I still had the traps that I bought last year (just in case...always be prepared, right?!) to set up tonight. So, after many you tube videos of "how to set a rat trap" later, I'm going to attempt to go to sleep.

I always knew that I needed a brother growing up! I called my parents and they just laughed. The first words out of their mouths were, "welcome to the real world." Apparently, my dad had handled all of these problems around our house many times and never spoke a word to my sister and I about it....I'm sure he knew that we would absolutely freak out, and probably never sleep again. Any advice on how to scare this gosh awful critter out, never to be seen again? My screaming did it once, just hoping for a better method next time!
