I've been tagged!!!

10 years ago: WOW!! I can't believe ten years ago I was a senior in high school at good ol CHS! Never would I have imagined that my husband would be coaching at AHS! That was the enemy! hmmmm....what was I doing....well, I know I was enduring many long, hard, grueling track workouts and doing the normal high school girly things....boyfriends, friends, and occasionally some homework here and there! Spring break of my senior year I went on a choir trip to London where I made some of the best memories of high school.

Things on my to-do list today: My brother is having surgery tomorrow, so I need to get a little goodie basket together for him to have with him while he lounges away the next couple of days.....and my dad's b-day is tomorrow ~ I have his gift, but I need to wrap it! That is about it on my list....unusual for my list to be short!!!

What would I do if I was suddenly became a Billionaire? I really think I would continue working...I love my job and can't imagine not being a teacher. I would like to do many things of "Paying it forward" as Oprah would say!

Three of my bad habits: - letting the dogs on the furniture ~ not the bed, but I have justified that it is ok for them to be on the love seat as long as a blanket is covering it....this could be bad once Caden gets here!
not getting up when the alarm goes off ~ and this morning I walked up right before the bell rang.....the closer to summer the harder this gets! and the good thing is pretty soon I won't be needing an alarm clock....I will have my own personal greeter in the morning!
I can't think of a third....and I don't want to think that hard!!!!

Five jobs I have had: Teacher, Receptionist at a Dermatologist's office, AYBA ref, and this is stretching it but a babysitter

Five things people don't know about me: -our house in Keller is finally leased again!!! YAY for not paying two mortgages anymore!!!!
I only have one more year of grad school left and I will take the test for principalship this summer!
Even though I have watched B play soccer in high school and college I have never really totally understood all the aspects of the game until the past probably two years ago~After games B and I stay up and watch video and discuss the game, since I come from a basketball, baseball family I have never been a soccer lover~ but I can honestly say I like soccer and look forward to watching or discussing it! (as long as it pertains to Brent) I can't say I would randomly turn on soccer and watch it like Brent does.
I love Big Brother;
and # 5 We get to see Mr. Caden again tomorrow!

I tag.....Shannon, Ally, Leigh Ann, and Flea

Bebe Update

I can't believe I am already 30 weeks!!! Time is flying! I think it helps that soccer is keeping us very busy!!! We painted his room last weekend, and the furniture came in. Brent spent a couple of evenings after team dinners and games getting it all put together! Mom is working hard on the bedding. She brought the bedskirt over yesterday and it looks great....she has to lengthen a couple of sides and then it is ready to go!!! Several have asked for pics...so here goes!

To keep all of you happy here is a belly pic!!

Getting our babies ready for baby!!!


For the past five years these two have been our babies! In three months, they will no longer be the babies!!! They will still be so special to us and we will love them just the same, and as much as I don't want them to not get all the attention anymore.... I know that they won't!!! I am not so sure how this is going to go over with them! Ele has an anxiety order (yes, I know she is a dog) but she has been diagnosed....she breaks out in hives and swells really bad! She doesn't handle change well at all! Adi, is just a princess....she doesn't think of herself as a dog, and she is going to have a rude awakening when she isn't allowed up in my lap all the time! My mom cut an article out of the paper last weekend about getting dogs ready for a baby! She knew we would need to read it because they are sooooo spoilt!!! We have already started a couple of changes, such as using the soaps and lotions occasionally that we will use on him so they will be used to the smell (plus I just love the smell of baby lotion) and we have already broken the habit of getting them out of our bed (this was harder on Brent and I than them)....but there are some things on the list that we refuse to do..... One of the suggestions is to carry around a babydoll so they can get use to seeing us with a baby....REALLY???? One thing that worked for my brother and sister-in-law was bringing home clothing that smelt like the baby from the hospital before bringing home the baby! We might try that also! Anyways, it was a very interesting article...with some great suggestions and some over the top suggestions! We are hoping the change won't be to hard on either one of them!
