More Crazy Weather

Had another weekend of crazy weather. Chris went to Gainesville with his dad for the NHRA Races. The kids and I were just hanging out watching tv on Saturday night when I heard a loud bang on the roof. Out of nowhere it started hailing golf balls and raining. While the cats and Mindy the dog ran for cover Tweek and I went to the front porch to watch. Little did I know that there was a tornado 2 miles in front of me and another about 5 miles beside me. I had no clue until the next day. We lost power until the next morning. But we were lucky. Chris called from his parents house on Sunday afternoon so I could come pick him up. When I started to drive down the road it was closed. I was like what in the world. So I called Chris to tell him that I had to go around it would be a little longer. When I turned the corner I was like oh my gosh. I said it looks like a dang tornado came through here. Chris said it did. My heart jumped to think I was standing on the front porch while this was going on. It looked like a warzone. But we were lucky. Nobody was killed and all our friends and coworkers only had minimal damage. Some still don't have power but they are just thankful to still have a house. There were some houses completely gone. And the electric towers were just rolled up into balls of metal. We both have hail damage to our cars. Chris' truck is really bad so we put in insurance claims. But we can't deal with the local office because this is considered a catastrophe. So this should be fun getting the cars fixed. I guess sometimes you just have to feel lucky. It could have been so much worse.

Elton John

Elton John came to Savannah on Wed. We were so excited. It sold out in 7 minutes. But I was able to get tickets by logging on to the net when they first went on sale. It was a great show. We were 1 section over from where he was on the stage and about 30 rows up. It was awesome. He can play the heck out of a piano. If you ever get the chance to see him it is well worth it.

Tree in driveway

This one took out the power line.

Bad Weather

We had crazy weather this weekend. It started on Friday with tornado's. Saturday it was just crazy windy. We had big tree's fall down at our house. It took out the power lines so I was without electricity all day. It is kind of scary to think that those tree's could have fallen on a car driving by. And there is no where to park your car that is safe because your house is surrounded by big trees. I was sick all weekend. There is a nasty cold/flu going around. Even my poor little Macamoe has it. She can't stop sneezing. I feel bad for her. I feel a little better today. But there is not much I can eat that doesn't make me feel sick. Maybe my luck has run out and the symptoms are starting.

Nothing New

Well nothing new. So far I have been really lucky. Only symptom is wanting to sleep all the time. I was already a napper and it has gotten worse. I count down to nap time everyday. Right now I have 20 minutes until I can leave work and go take a nap. Chris is dying to know if it is a boy or girl. He is counting down the weeks. I think he actually wants to know more then I do and I want to know bad. But it will probably still be 7 more weeks before we can find out. It will be a long 7 weeks. We are both really excited. I was already putting on weight before I got pregnant so I am afraid I am going to be the blimp by the time this is done. I am trying to walk 2 miles a day on the treadmill at an incline so hopefully that will help some.

Baby Heartbeat

We are having a baby. We had our first ultrasound today. We wanted to wait to hear the heartbeat before telling everyone we were pregnant. The baby had a very strong heart beat and all tests looked good. It was exciting and a relief. Lots of stress lifted. Due date is Oct. 18th.

Feb 5th I took a home test that said pregnant. I went to the Dr that day and their test said not pregnant. I told her I was sure something was going on. So we did blood work and that said I was pregnant for sure.

Feb 8th we had to do more blood work. Those numbers came back really high which was a great sign.

Feb 15th did blood work again. Numbers were great. Scheduled our first ultrasound for the 27th.

Marvin on Grandpa's wishing well

For some reason Marvin has discovered Grandpa's wishing well. He likes to lay on it now even though it doesn't look very comfortable. He has become the outside cat now. He loves it out there.

Macamoe hangin with pops

Macamoe loves Chris' chair. If he gets up to get a drink or anything she will run over and jump on it. They are good buddies now.

New Truck

This is Chris' xmas truck.

B-day

A friend of mine made this cake for me for my birthday. It rocked! You know like good ole rocky top. Didn't do anything on my b-day because Chris and I both had to work long days. We are gonig to do something this weekend. It has been really crazy at work. I took on more responsibility. I love the challenge but have been working crazy hours the last couple weeks. But I am just looking toward the future. This means house and new car!

xmas 2007

We decided to stay home this year. It was just to expensive to go back to NE. Chris needed a new truck so that was our December purchase. He has never had a new truck before so I am happy for him. We got a 2007 Dodge Ram. It is really nice. Trucks are almost like driving cars now. They are so much nicer then they used to be. Chris got me a TN fathead. It is awesome. I hung it up in my office and get lots of comments.

Championship Game Dec 1st 2007

SEC Championship Game Dec 1st 2007

We got tickets to the SEC Championship football game for free. Not only were they free but they were in the clubhouse seats on the 50 yard line! They were awesome. We got spoiled. In the Georgia Dome the clubhouse seats are only about 30 rows up from the field. It was great. My team had the lead until the very end of the game and then managed to lose. But I don't feel to bad since the team we lost to is playing for the national championship. It was a really good time. Hopefully one of our teams will make it next year and we can go again. It was also the 75th anniversary of the SEC so they had special things going on before the game.

Florida Football 11/24/07

Another exciting weekend of football. I don't know what I am going to do in a month when it is over. I love this game. We got Florida vs Florida State football tickets as a wedding gift. They were great seats. 20 rows up on the 20 yard line. Unfortunately I missed the end of the Tennessee vs Kentucky game. But that was probably a good thing. I can't imagine what my blood pressure would have been. I wore my Tennessee sweatshirt proud in the field of blue. I was just given some tickets to go to the SEC championship game in Atlanta this weekend. I am soooooo happy. We couldn't afford to buy tickets. They are selling for hundreds of dollars each. We have been lucky this year and gone to 5 games. Only had to buy tickets for 2 of them. That is awesome. Hopefully Tennessee can play like I know they can and whoop up on LSU. I was sad to see Kansas lose this weekend but hopefully Missouri can go all the way. I was really glad to see Callahan go!
