2010 Christmas Card

4th Inning...

Lets me start with saying...I hope this ballgame we are "playing" has a run rule and we get to stop before the 5th inning...just a little humor...haha

So...we are back in...I started my cycle on Saturday so I called the DR this morning and the nurse called me back with the plan...When I left the message with them I asked for another "trigger" shot, we decided to try this one more time before we took the BIG step toward the more extensive treatments.  The plan is: I start Clomid (again) on this Wednesday, I go back next Wednesday for a Ultrasound (to see how many egg follicles are visible), we take the shot on day...whatever they say...then timed intercourse...

I really hope with the help of Clomid the shot will be successful this time...

Thats all for now!

2010 Family Pictures

We have been taking Family Pictures for the past couple years and by family I mean the three of us.  The first year we took it at our house, last year we took them at Cannonsburgh in Murfreesboro and this year we took them in Bell Buckle on the train tracks.  I enjoy taking them in different locations and they are always alot of fun.  Tiffany takes them and she does an awesome job.  This year we let Tiffanys brother Lil Joe take them because he just got this awesome new camera for his birthday and he has a great eye for photography, Tiffany was still there of course and did most of the shoot ideas.  I enjoy mostly looking back to see how much we have changed from year to year so I thought I would post the photos from the past 2 years before I posted this years. 

2008...Not the Family Picture I had in mind but I couldnt find it so this will do

2009- Cannonsburgh

2010- The rest are from this year...I love them!

The Meaning of the Candy Cane

I know this may seem a little early but Candy Canes are everywhere so I thought I would go ahead and share this so we can all keep it in mind while we enjoy this Christmas treat!

Many years ago a candy maker wanted to make a candy that would symbolize the true  meaning of Christmas- Jesus.

The hard candy was shaped like a "J" to represent that Jeaus is our rock of all ages.  The candy was made of white to stand for the pureness of Jesus.  The red represents the blood that he shed to save us from our sins.

So the next time you see a candy cane take a minute to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

I have heard this before and forgotton the story but this was an amazing reminder!

I hope everyone is having a great start to the Holiday season...lets not forget what the Holiday really means!

Thanks Elizabeth! :-)

Its been awhile!...

Wow! I had no idea that it had been so long since I last posted!

Not too much has been going on...I have been working non stop with my main job in Bell Buckle and on my days off at Stein Mart.  I took a long weekend trip on the 11-14th with my BFF Ter-Ter (she hates that haha) to Mandaville LA for our good friend Ashley's wedding.  It was SO much fun! The wedding was absolutely beautiful and Terri and I had some much needed girl time which we both needed...I cant wait till the next trip...Terri- start planning it! :-)

Here are some pictures from that weekend...

Beautiful!

I Love You (I turned this picture not sure what happen)

Terri and Me

Again, She doesn't like this picture but I do

Roommates

I thought this sign was funny

I have spent the last week transforming the store from Fall to Christmas! It has been crazy to say the least...but its looking so pretty! I have big windows in the front of my store so we put a sleigh in one of them  and made a winter setting...I don't have a picture yet but as soon as I can get a pretty one I will post them.  With that said it really put me in the Christmas spirit so I started saying last Tuesday night that I wanted to decorate my house...well we pulled everything out of the closet but it sat in the bonus room all week because I was too tired and lazy to get started on it...so Friday morning I got up and said that I wasn't going to bed that night until the house was decorated! I got home from work about 7 that night and Mom and Jimmy had the tree up and Jimmy had the staircase wrapped with lights and garland! I was so excited! We went to dinner with my brother and then at about 10:30 Mom and I started on the house and finished it about 12:30...what a relief!  I still have a few areas that need some touching up so as soon as I'm done I will post some pictures.

Saturday was the UT/Vandy game here in Nashville.  We as a family have gone to this game for several years in a row now and its the only game that we usually all get to go to...except this year Lizzy missed out :-(.  We left for Nashville about 10 Saturday morning and tailgated all day until the game started at 6:30.  We had a lot fun as usual and the VOLS won! Go Vols!  I sadly didn't take one picture the whole day...

Yesterday Jimmy and I helped my bosses decorate the town of Bell Buckle and then we worked the rest of the day.  I stayed in my shop and did some stuff while Jimmy went to the other shop and helped them decorate their store.  He is such a helper! Last night we went to Tiffany's and had a early Thanksgiving pre game show...Thanksgiving is Tiffs favorite holiday and she has been talking about it since July and she just couldn't wait another week to eat all that yummy food so she cooked her own meal last night! It was SO good!

I'm working the rest of the week and this weekend!  Thursday we will go to Tiffs parents (my amazing bosses) house for lunch and then to Julies sisters house that night for dinner.  This is the first year in several that I don't have to be at work at 5 in the morning for Black Friday shoppers and I'm SO happy about that!

This coming Sunday Tiffany is taking our yearly family pictures. We are taking them in Bell Buckle on the train tracks, I'm super excited!

Nothing is new on the baby front...keep checking back!

I hope everyone has a great week and if I don't check back in before a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
