Not much has happened lately!
1. I finished up banking school {see post below}!
2. We celebrated with a
bbq at our house Saturday, the 17
th, once I got home and took a 3 1/2 hour nap. It was heaven. Brad bar-b-
qued a Boston butt, ribs, two whole chickens, and chicken quarters; plus "all the
fixin's".
3. Levi, Brad and myself went to see
Clash of the Titans at the theater. It was definitely an action movie with a good bit of history mixed in. I have a friend that's Greek so I appreciated the history lesson.
4. A "lovely" neighborhood cat ripped into our garbage that night and pulled out ALL of the aluminum foil from the
bbq. Amos found it and disposed of it for us Monday morning (yes, he
ate it). So after a quick panic and a trip to the vet he got some wonderful medicine to take care of his problem. I bet he won't eat aluminum foil again!
5. Brad finally bought a new lawn mower. I was super impressed since it has taken him two years to come to the conclusion that he absolutely had to have one. He and I are both much happier now. He can just zip around on his zero-turn and finish the yard in a day. Now, he can't complain about spending the week choking and gagging on smoke from the other one! :) HA!
6. Whitney and I had lunch together last week. She's getting ready to move to Oxford soon {as in
this week} and it hurts my feelings that she's going to be leaving me!! Although, I'm sure she'll appreciate living in the same house as her husband! Yep, he's been staying with a friend in Oxford for several months now and coming home on the weekends.
7. We went back to Dr. Linton in Columbus last Friday. He said Brad is still improving and looking good. Great news! He will still continue with therapy 3x a week for another month until we go back May 24.
8. Last Saturday we had some rough weather. Tornado watches and warnings were all over the area and we got some strong wind and rain for a while. It finally cleared about about lunch time. Later that night we went to Chapman's with some friends for Brittany's 25
th birthday. I didn't get any pictures though :(
9. Tuesday I had to take my car to get two new hubs only to find out I needed axles instead. This is a good thing because
axles are 1/2 the price of hubs!
Woohoo!
10. Wednesday, Whitney and I went to see
Date Night for her birthday {which was Tuesday}. It was a really funny movie and we were the only two in the theater! That's a plus!
11. Thursday after work, Brad flew to
Tupelo and picked Charles up and flew down to
Starkville, grabbed a bite to eat and flew back. He got home about 10:30, but he had a great time. He loves flying any change he can get {especially when he can fly with someone!}.
12. While Brad was gone
Jenessa and I took the top off her Jeep and took a tour through town. The weather was nice, but it was a little windy. We also got milkshakes at Sonic and chit-chatted for a while- mainly about my lack of living things around my house.
13. After seeing her
accomplishments with her porch I hope to get some ferns this weekend and maybe a potted plant or two. I had some ferns last year that got pretty big so I hope I can do the same this year!
14. Pug and his children, Tyler and Haley, are supposed to be coming in this weekend. The weather is predicted to be terrible, but hopefully we can find something to do!
15. We're supposed to be having a big birthday bash Saturday for Curt {he turned 30 Thursday!} but with the weather they are predicting, I think they are going to postpone it until next weekend.
I won't number this since I'm already at 15, but Monday is my birthday so I hope to do something fun this weekend to celebrate! I know my mom's side of the family is eating at Chapman's Sunday for an early Mother's Day. My grandmother has to work on the real Mother's Day so we wanted to celebrate early! This has been a long, wordy post so I'll throw in a few pictures :)
Scratch that; it won't let me upload!
I just noticed that this will be my 100th post!
Notice her pink bat {not my idea}
Like mammy, like granddaughter
Running to 1st
And {not so happily} getting tagged out
After the game is over they all get to run the bases one last time
After the game, we celebrated my birthday
Miya and Mika trying to figure out what that large thing was... {it was Amos!}
Levi posing with Mika
Notice the time! We got in bed at 12:30 and got up at 5:30 to get ready for the air show!
Miya- I tried to get more pictures of her, but she is quick!
Not taking her eyes off Amos!
Watching and watchign and watching...
Amos started barking at them!
Tops of the planes...
Signifying the ones that don't make it back
One of our shopping centers: Belk, JcPenney, Maurices, Bookland, etc... and our friend Chad's Allstate business
Another shot of Allstate and Belk
Inside KMart- notice things floating down the aisle!
Another shopping center
This water was filled with snakes!
The water actually got higher- high enough to go over the hoods of the trucks. See the lights on the trucks? They were shorting out. People could see lights flashing and hear the horn!
Residential area- that's someone's deep freeze floating down their driveway.

I left off last week talking about my weekend plans. Well, none of it came through! After work I had errands to run then made it home just in time to pick Brad up and take him to the after hours clinic. He has strep! Then we met Pug, Tyler (age 10) and Haley (age 8) at Cafe Mike's.
I had a great time and learned a lot that week, but part of me is glad it's over! I'll tell you more about Mrs. Wanda sometime when I have a minute.
