Oink, Oink!!!!

• The Swine Flu is making everyone crazy!!! (Even me a little bit!) I was shocked last night when I looked at the news webpages and all of the schools in Madison County were closing for the rest of the week all because two kids are sick! I have to admit I was also a little jealous. Okay, who am I kidding? I was a lot jealous. Don't get me wrong...I don't want anyone to get sick or hurt, but I would really like a short vacation from work. It would be especially nice right now since Jaime, Amanda, and I have two papers due in the next few days. Amanda and I were planning a visit to Jaime's to see her and Noah, but we decided to postpone it. We are probably overreacting, but with us being around kids all day we didn't want to take a chance on getting Jaime or Noah sick. I'm really disappointed that we won't get to see them today, but hopefully next week we can swing by there.
• I finished the third novel in the Flowers in the Attic series and it did not disappoint. I started the fourth one last night and I think it is going to be just as good. What am I going to do when I finish all of them? I feel like I have known Cathy and Chris all my life now. LOL!
• Zac and I bought a Wii a week or so ago and I am absolutely loving it! The Wii fit is so much fun even though it tells me I'm a lard ass every day! Haha! Oh well, I guess I need someone to tell me that so I'll get off the couch and exercise. After all the wedding is not too far away!
• Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!! And stay away from swine!!! :)

Weddings, Noah, and Other Great Things

Friday Amanda and I went to visit the newest member of our group, Noah Mark Emerson. Jaime delivered him around 9:00 Friday morning. He is such a beautiful baby and I'm so happy for Jaime and Brandon. I know they are going to make wonderful parents.

• This weekend Zac, his mother, and I went to the Burritt Museum to look over some things again for the wedding. Here are some pictures I took.

This is the gazebo where we are getting married. They were actually setting up for another wedding while we were there, so we got to get some ideas of things we want to do for our wedding.

This is the Trillium Room where we are going to have the reception. It's so pretty I can't wait to see how it looks for our Reception.

Zac's 28th birthday was Saturday. This is the cake I made for him. LOL. It was my first attempt at making a real birthday cake.

That's all for now. :)

Thursdays are no fun!

• I have yet another freakin' cold! I'm so sick of catching all these little germies from all my little germ infested kiddos! I was home Monday sick and I still haven't been able to shake it. I'm sure everyone around me is tired of hearing me complain, but I'm tired of being sick!
• We have class tonight and I DO NOT WANT TO GO!!! The only goods things about going to class anymore are 1) I get to see Jaime and catch up with her, and 2) we get to go out to eat! I'm over these classes!
• I'm thinking about starting the ABC blog. I'm such a copy cat, but they I really like everyone elses blog.
• I watched the preview to The Housewives of New Jersey last night and even though I swore I wouldn't like it, I'm already hooked. These are going to be a completely different type of women and I think it's going to be good.
• I finished our book club book, Flowers in the Attic, last night and I loved it. I got on Amazon and ordered the rest of the series and I can't wait until they get here. I can't wait to see what is next for Chris, Cathy and the others. I also can't wait until book club so we can discuss it. Everyone better read this book because I'm ready to talk all about it.
• I'm praying that Noah will arrive soon for Jaime. I know she is a frustrated woman, and I can't imagine how anxious she is to meet her son. Wouldn't be something if she went into labor while we were in class or on the way to or from class? Wowza! We would be in a pickle then!

Toodles to all! Sorry for all the griping. I'm off to eat some popcorn!

I'm Back!!!

Okay, so I never really left. I just haven't been blogging. I saw Amelia's new blog with the bullets and I like that so I think I'm gonna try it. Here goes:

• I'm at work blogging. I probably shouldn't be, but it's my planning period and I'm bored and ready to go home!
• Zac and I have a big date day planned tomorrow and I'm very excited. We are going to get our hair cut, shop for a grill, have dinner, and catch a movie. I'm also wanting to find some curtains for the living room. I feel like it's been a really long time since we went out on a real date and I'm so ready for one.
• Jaime's last day at work was Tuesday. We miss her already. I hope she is enjoying her time at home.
• I'm going to get Flowers in the Attic this weekend and start on it. I heard it was really good, so I'm very eager to start reading it.
• We are having my family over on Sunday for my stepdad's birthday. I'm excited that we finally have a place so we can have people over. I don't know what I'm fixing for dinner yet though.
• Last night during the storms one of my students house burned down. They are okay, but they lost everything. I feel so sorry for them. It has only been a few years since their mother died and now they have to go through this. They will definitely be in my prayers.

Have a good weekend everyone!
