OOOOoooo WhAt A wEeKeNd!!!!


Friday I left for Jonesboro to stay the night before my sister's shower and Lauren's shower that were on Saturday. However, we were hoping for a little more excitement. Heidi's contractions were about 5 minutes apart and she went to the hospital. We just knew Friday would be the day. But instead, she was sent home after 4 hours without any progress.



Saturday, we began the day with Heidi's shower. She had a lot of people come. Maybe they were hoping for some babies to come too... haha. Oh, but I can't go without mentioning this. Heidi and I were mistaken for twins ourself! Ha, that hasn't happened since we were like 14 and 18... But then we were ever so politely told that we look more alike because Heidi has gotten a "Baby face" during her pregnancy... I'm not completely sure what that says about me though? I must always have a "baby face"? Interesting. But, at least the lady said it nicely! HAHA


Next was Lauren's shower. We had a great turn out with some wonderful cake. It was great to see a couple of my best friends in Alpha Gam, Ambrea, Lauren, and Jodi. Ambrea, Jodi, and I laughed about how aweful school is and complained a little about some of the things they make us do... mostly just gross anatomy for Jodi. ;) I really liked the gift that I made for Lauren and her new baby Abigail. I made her a pound of "BUTT BALM." Oh the things they teach us to make in pharmacy school. Anyone need some diaper cream??

Today, was spend waiting for a phone call from my sister about the boys. No call yet! Oh, and of course it was spent catching up school stuff that I neglected all weekend.

Back to school tomorrow...

Life is simply wonderful!

Snow Day

This winter we have had a record snow day count for Harding, and I have enjoyed every minute of them! However, one day we got so much snow that it accumulated on our satelite dish and we lost signal. Eddie, my husband, my hero, saved the day. He determined that the solution was to get on top of the roof and dust of the dish. Seeing that we didn't have a ladder, he had to be resourceful when getting on top of the house. Did I mention that this was at 7:00 at night? Yeah, it was dark... So he gets out this folding table from the garage and our step stool. He puts the table in front of the front door and places the step stool on top. After he was on the top step of the stool, he jumped and shimmied his way on to the roof (via the new gutters). Once he was on top of the roof he had to get on the other side of the pitch to where the dish was. This was done successfully. Of course, I had to leave him sitting on the roof to run inside and see if the tv was working. It wasn't, but we decided there was nothing left to do. So he had to get to the other side again and hang from the gutters down to the step stool, then to the table and back to the ground, all done without breaking anything!! However, when we came back in the tv was working just in time to watch Greek! My HERO!

LIFE

So life has changed a lot for us in the past year. We got married in June, moved to Higginson (or Searcy), and I started pharmacy school at Harding.
I thought I would make a place for our family to stay updated on our adventures of living in Searcy, Arkansas.
