It's getting close

The day I've been dreading for almost 8 months is right around the corner. My due date.

Baby number 2 should be making his or her grand entrance into this world in just five weeks. But he/she isn't. And I am still not expecting.

While it's been tough, I can say, I think I am reaching a place of peace with the whole thing. I'm ok. I've reached a place where even if I don't have more babies, I think I will be just fine with the perfect little girl that I do have.

I am blessed and I know that. Finally. It has taken me since Septemeber to get here, but here I am.



Look at this face!

Despite it all, things are great. I am happy. Really, life couldn't get better unless another little one did join our family.

Things are moving along with our new house and we should be in at the end of summer. I am so excited about this I can hardly wait!

Finally permitting our lot! Ready to see some concrete!

Things with my headbands are going amazingly well! I'm actually stocking merchandise in a boutique now! It's crazy how things work out. Be sure to take a look at my Facebook page. I am annoucinging a giveaway tomorrow!   I will soon play catch up on my blog reading! My google reader is out.of.control!

I bet YOU never had this much fun moving!

The last few days have been so hectic! I've been sitting at the house in Shreveport with no cable packing and taking care of all the last minute details that go into moving. Yesterday I had a house full of packers packing up our Shreveport life and helping us prepare for Mississippi. I had things that I wanted in my car and things that I wanted them to pack for me. I separated the stuff I would pack and take into a pile and pointed it out. After they left, I decided to something I had never done before: Go to dinner alone! Can you believe I did that? Cause I can't. So, back to the beginning...I, obviously, needed to take a shower so I head to the master restroom where all of my stuff was laid out. As I shuffle through the mess, I realize they definitely took all of my shower stuff. My body wash, shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream and razor. Yep. Well, I still needed to shower so I washed my body and hair with...wait for it....wait for it....face wash! 

After my "shower" I went to the Olive Garden. I worked hard and wanted something good for dinner.  I ate at the bar and it really wasn't a big deal. I thought I would feel stupid but I so didn't. Oh, and I have to mention, I most definitely got hit on by a 5-year-old!

Then, today the movers come. Since we had so much stuff and are moving several hours away, they loaded today and will come to MS with all of our stuff tomorrow. I have to say, this was quite interesting. There were four guys, two hard workers, a lazy kid and an old man who thought that since he was old, he was the boss. Two of the guys literally got into a fight. Hilarious! They were yelling at each other on my front lawn! What did I do, you ask? I stood at the window (that didn't have curtains) to watch while simultaneously cracking up. It was awesome! 

So, I know I've been a bad blogger lately, but I'll be without internet for a few days starting tomorrow. But, when I come back, I promise you all some long-awaited pictures of the new house.

XOXO,

Thank You & Confessions Review (Finally)

I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words and support. I have to say, I'm really surprised at the way I've reacted to losing my Chloe. We still haven't received the autopsy results yet. Hopefully tomorrow morning. I'm so anxious to get them. I called around to several vet clinics and they all said I should have waited another month or two before putting her under for surgery. My husband and I have talked about getting another one, not to replace Chloe, but to help us move on a little. 

In other news, the move has become official. We will get the lease on Monday for the new place, I've scheduled all of our utilities to be turned off next Friday and I'm meeting with the movers and packers next week. We should be in our new house next Saturday! 

So, I mentioned on Valentine's Day that the hubs and I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic...WORST. MOVIE. EVER. I was so disappointed in it. The books are hilarious and fun, the movie was rushed, boring and didn't make sense. My husband is a really good sport when it comes to chick flicks but even he didn't like this one. By the 27th glance at his watch, I knew he was bored. The girls behind us thought it was the best movie ever. Don't get me wrong there were, to be exact, two funny parts. They didn't take the time to develop the characters or their relationships at all. So, my recommendation, don't bother.

XOXO,

Hello Jackson!

I know, I know. I say I'm back and then go days without a post. You'll have to forgive me, we are in the process of moving. Again. The hubs is now being transferred to Mississippi. So, anyone in the Jackson area? I'm desperate for friends!

I've decided to be much more optimistic and excited about this move. For one, I think the area we'll be living will be nicer. I'm going to branch out and attempt to make some friends and I'm going to look for opportunities to volunteer and I may even get a part-time job. Maybe. I've already made my first plans! On March 10 I'm going to Jackson to hear Rudy Giuliani speak.

For the next month, we'll be living in a Candlewood Suite hotel. It's pretty nice. Small, but it has everything we need and the best thing is they let me have my dogs in the hotel. This works out so much better. Since Bobby works so much he wouldn't be able to go back to Shreveport so I've decided to hotel-it with him. I'll slowly start looking for a house for us in the area and wrapping and packing things up back in Shreveport. 

So, here's to my new life in Jackson, MS. Tomorrow I'll be posting an award, so be on the look-out, I just might tag you!

XOXO,
