The Not So Itsy Bitsy Spider....

I almost dislocated my shoulder trying to get away from a spider tonight. I was working on my resume and out of the corner of my eye I see the arm of the couch moving, but as I straighten my spectacles I realize that it's not the couch, its a freaking HUGE spider. Ladies and Gentlemen this spider had to be the size of a quarter....well..thats big to me, and it was headed right for my arm. I let out a scream that probably woke the neighbors and Colby jumped up, "What's wrong, What's Wrong....?!"

"Ahhh....GET IT, it's huge....SHIT, shit shit shit....."
"Ohh Honey, that's not huge, it's a baby!"
"GET IT, GEEEEEEEEETTTT ITTTTT! HURRY IT'S Moving! *insert panicked scream here* HURRY it's trying to hide!"

In walks my superhero boyfriend, 'Colby the Right Hand of Justice', and annihilates the evil 8 legged creep with one crash of..... the box that held our called in dinner.

Like you didn't know...

And so it was said
that on the grand and glorious
eighth and extra day,
God did indeed create beer
to keep the Irish from conquering the world.

White Noise

Ok, I know I've talked about it in the past, but who here believes in ghosts? Who here believes in people trying to make contact with them? Raise your hand. A couple days ago I had a dream about my Uncle Daddy....I couldn't understand what he was trying to tell me, I could see him plain as day, but it sounded like we were under water.

Tonight my parents came over and informed me that my Aunt Beth had a missed call on her caller I.D from my Uncle Daddy. For those of you who know me personally, you'll understand why this baffles me.

Any thoughts?

Somebody is definitely watching over us....

La Hacienda

A rundown of all the things that have been going on since I've posted last. First things first , the new town house is really cool. We live very close to campus, and that's fantastic for days that you don't wake up in time to wash your hair. Everything is moved in and in working order, we can wash our clothes in our washer and dry our clothes in our dryer....who would have thought?!
A firecracker just went off in our front yard....at least that's what I'm calling it, I'm praying it's not a gun. People are soo festive here!

Today in Springfield, it rained really really hard and we've also discovered that the basement is not only a basement, it doubles as a swimming pool! See, I told you....it's so affordable. Yes folks, we are living the good life. Ahh....College Life!!


Moo is doing absolutely fantastic! She's gained a lot of weight and has a double chin....*everyone all together now...Ahhhh!!!!!

I was like, "AHH TURN HER OFF!!"

Wednesday night I had Miss Mag............ Overnight. She is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen, but one dirty diaper later I was saying, "You're too pretty for this! What happened?" At one point in the night I was changing her diaper and I look away for a second to grab a wipe and turn back around and It looks like Mag has installed a sprinkler system!

"Ahh COlby HElp!"

"What do you want me to do?!"

" I don't know, TURN HER OFF!"

So then we proceeded to change her outfit, and clean up the piddle that was now on our new carpet...*I love you Mag* Then we went for round two.

After our excitement little Mag was worn out, so she went fast to sleep. I slept on the pull our bed, with Mags next to me....Securely next to me. Every time she would Coo I'd be looking at her to make sure everything was ok. See its not just the crying that keeps you awake it's knowing that you have a tiny baby you're taking care of, so for the next eighteen + years of your life you'll never have a restful night cause you'll always be worrying. That's why I'm going to have puppies instead.

Around 1:45 she started to figet and I picked her up and gave her a bottle, then I decided to change her diaper, she whizzed all over everything again. So now it's 3:30, I've changed her outfit again, and I'm lying on a wet sheet- Wondering if I'll tell anyone about this.....You knew I would.

Mag is currently on her way to Ft. Benning, GA to see her daddy for the first time, I'm so happy for Stori and Miss Mag. It's family day in boot camp! Yeehaw.

Cheap Date Night Thursday

Well last night we went on our cheap date night. We really didn't have any crazy things happen like most cheap date nights, but it was a fantastic cheap date night. First we went to J Parinos a small Italian restaurant here in Springfield. The food was excellent, we had shirmp florentine with flash fried spinach to start off with. Colby had chicken marsala, and I had tilapia in a white wine lemon sauce. Mmm soo good.

We got to sit and chat just a little bit, then decided to go to Barnes and Noble to look at some books. While at Barnes and Noble we had some starbucks..A grande coffee for Colb, and a Vanilla Bean Frap for me. I bought: The Cement Garden by Ian Mcewan, it sounds to me like a very good book, I'm going to get that read before school starts on Tuesday. Oh and I also bought Women's Health magazine, I'm really serious when I say that this year I'm toning these thighs.



Oh yeah, and might I add that it wasn't really cheap date night, because it wasn't cheap. Colby took me to a fantastic dinner. I love my boyfriend, he's wicked cool.

Look at those lips! She is the most precious thing i've ever seen. The birth was amazing! She is very good natured...so far. She never cries, just looks around to see what's going on. She snorts too, which is adorable.

Ohhh man I love that little girl!

Look who graced us with her presence..

Holy Crap! It has been a crazy two days. Last night at 6:00 pm Stori and I went into the hospital thinking that she was only going to have her cervix thinned. Little did we know...

Stori was supposed to get induced this morning around 6:00, but this morning around 5:00 she was dialated all the way to 10. This morning at 7:12 we had a little baby girl.
