What has our world come to?

I'm losing faith. *and NO, this has NOTHING to do with the current health care crap that's going. I can't even begin to discuss my feelings on that*

So...life has been pure chaos lately. We've established that. HECTIC doesn't even begin to describe what all has been going on with trying to finish moving out of our old house...having to move some of our stuff into my parents house for a couple of weeks and getting everything ready for two closings tomorrow. WHEW.

On top of that...my parents move July 14. So we lose a LOT of help because they have to deal with their own stuff. And my mom is keeping Collins. Yeah...it's nuts.

We wake up this morning to news that my dad's office/shop has been broken into and RANSACKED. WTF? I know we aren't the first and will NOT be the last people to be broken into and we are thankful it wasn't our homes...but they completely destroyed his property. The amount of valuables taken isn't that great, but the invasion of privacy and losing a sense of safeness is what really matters. We had taken LOTS of boxes up there to store in the interim and JUST LAST NIGHT my parents had taken THREE truck loads of their own stuff up there to store. They stole my mom's silver. HOW RUDE.

The cops think they know who it was...as some of my dad's belongings have already shown up in a pawn shop. RIDICULOUS.

People in our country work way TOO hard to have something taken from them. DO NOT TAKE WHAT IS NOT YOURS. Is it really that hard? It sickens me.

In happy news...we are MOVING TOMORROW!!!! Well...kinda. I'm having the floors re-finished/stained darker and the kitchen cabinets painted so all of that work will take place before we actually move in...but regardless, Mikey and I are both so excited about this new chapter in our lives. We may take a boat ride tonight to celebrate:)

I absolutely cannot wait to start decorating. Seriously y'all. It's an obsession.

xoxo.

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...

Sweet Caroline
