Our New Little(Big) Family Addition

Family Addition….

For all of you who know either one of us you know...

We both most definitely love animals.

I have been wanting another dog since i moved in September.

Prince( my two year old Min pin)

simply needs a friend.

I really, really, really wanted prince a girlfriend...

but i figured it was in my best interest to decide against this..

(cough, cough)

Casey started looking at some of the animal shelters

He began sending me pictures, yesterday, of this little guy

who was pretty cute.

& i simply knew all too soon

WE would have a new guy at the house

EVERYONE I WOULD LIKE YOU TO MEET...

(Sanford)

But once he has been around a little while

all kind of names have been thrown in the air for him

Waylon( Jennings)

Merle (Haggard)

then somehow

TIG....(it is)

We have already had our first near death experience...

i will admit im not a fan

this

NEW (stage) 

better be gone quick.

goodnight.

What I'm Liking Wednesday... :)

What I’m liking Wednesday

First off , I am loving that  we have recently ripped up the guest bedroom & hall carpet to refinish the wood floors. We have only gotten started……

(this isnt actually our guest room)

Next, my sweetheart has so graciously taped off our guest bedroom & once the paint sprayer is fixed ,it will get painted.  Since he has been home I am so thankful for all the help making our house a “HOME.”

(this once again isnt our guest room)

My newest purse family addition

(Merry Christmas to & from me)

The mini love in my life

Is getting use d to some changes :

for instance

(His new bed)

                         He might have a new awakening coming soon

            WE are in search of a new friend & family member for him!

                                 

OMGEEEEEE! Aren’t these precious!

                                   Cant wait to eventually meet this little bundle!

                                                                                                                                               (a dear friends)

Well even though I couldn’t get the tree lights to come on

I have finally finished wrapping presents

(finally)

Well im off to enjoy the rest of my OH sooo busy day!

Feels good to know im where im supposed to be!

IM OH SO BLESSED.

Happy, Merry Christmas week!

  

& It’s beginning to look a LOT like Christmas

I

Its beginning to look a LOT like Christmas


Super excited to say that its looking like Christmas at the house

I have always said you cant start Christmas until after Thanksgiving sooo…

When I came home from working the CRAZY BLACK FRIDAY MADDNESS!

My honey and parents had the Christmas lights put on the house

I Have to admit, I kinda teared up…

because it was such a sweet thing

for me to come home to.

All the Christmas Presents I had gotten before this week

Were for that sweet honey of mine

Let me tell you once more!!!

I LOVE BUYING PEOPLE PRESENTS

But I am terrible at keeping the secrets.

So this year as soon as I bought all this presents

I also bought wrapping paper and all accessories

I went straight home and wrapped them up

& hid them in the closet

LAST Sunday after Casey left I put up the Christmas Tree

At first it was kinda missing some lights

But I still decorated it anyway….

YES it's a chunky, funky, GIRLISH tree

THIS WEEKEND

I had all three days off work

SO when I got off work Friday I went & finished the MOST of my Christmas Shopping

I was in search of several things:

A big gift for my dad

Which I actually found & got someone else one too because they were AWESOME

Stocking stuffers (for the families)

& some super cute stuff for our Moms!

But on my little adventure the biggest thing I wanted was

A&M stocking for Casey(didn't find a single one)

But I did find some super cute

To add to our Tree since I decorated GIRLY to begin with

I also bought a Maroon tree skirt

Since

The tree topper is…PURPLE

This was only half the bags I started with

OUR very girlish/ A&M
Christmas
tree

I was super excited about it…

We are now at Satuday & I spent most of the day cleaning the house

Finishing Christmas Decorating

& my favorite wrapping all the gifts!

 

TAAAADAHHHHHH!

MERRY SATURDAY EVERYONE!

Unitl next time…MISS WHIT

What I'm liking Wednesday

What I'm liking... this Wednesday!



I like my beautiful Allred family Christmas card I received in the mail today. This family has brightened my life in so many ways! Love them dearly! Thanks for adding me to your mailing list & being the first card on my fridge!!!




Next, my text from my wonderful aunt about my absolutely precious, loving, full of life little cousin Riley who has the cutest stories!



My newest reading find! Yes-I am actually going to read a book! & I can't wait!



Even though I spent part of this week sick, and they are sending some tests of about my thyroid, they also put me on a sleeping pill, whoo hooo! I know if I would have listening to a certain someone an gone to the doctor before I actually got sick, then I might have not gotten sick!
Yes-babe I know. YOU WERE RIGHT.


Last but not least I'm liking that I have a wonderful man, two supporting families, beautiful friends(& some of their kiddos kiddos) a precious puppy, a cute little castle, and two jobs to support it all!!






































I would like everyone to think about and count your blessings because even though you have them now you never want to take them for granted because you could wake up and one day they be gone!

My favorite quote….

I BELIEVE IN PINK

I BELIEVE THAT

LAUGHING IS THE CALORIE BURNER

I BELIEVE IN KISSING

KISSING A LOT

I BELIEVE
IN

BEING STRONG WHEN

EVERYTHING SEEMS

TO BE GOING

WRONG

I BELIEVE THAT HAPPY {GIRLS}

ARE THE PRETTIEST {GIRLS}

I BELIEVE THAT TOMORROW

IS ANOTHER DAY AND

I BELIEVE
IN MIRACLES

-Aubrey Hepburn 

 

 

She said it best…

Especially for us {girls}

I need to post this piece

To where I can read it every morning

I am sometimes exhausted

Most of the time I feel defeated

I go and go and go

I do everything for everyone else { but that's what I enjoy (most)}

When do I stop and make time for me?

I get sad

I get lonely

I work hard for what I have { & I am proud of it}

I have those days where

I struggle with why I am such a people pleaser. Why I can't get it all together, like I feel like others around me do. Why I worry more than others do. Why I can't believe in the difference I make in some peoples' lives

{Why, why, why??}

BUT… then I remember

I do believe in laughing

I do believe in kissing my love when he comes home and goes away

I am strong

I do have my life together

When I am happiest…I feel like I am on top of the world

& I do feel prettiest

I  do miss him…when he is away{but I am glad I have him to miss}

I do appreciate him

I am thankful for him everyday

I do give him my best {because he deserves it}

I do BELIEVE in him

I will have my family and dreams…

But when the time is RIGHT.

Tomorrow IS another day

I believe in miracles {I am living proof-they do exist}

So tonight I will brush off my worries & BELIEVE that sometimes GOD gives this {girl} a plan for my future & I owe it to {him} to get there.

 

 

So maybe…it's me!

Goodnight world.

Until next time…

Finally Friday

My week has honestly been filled with a lot of emotions. Im not really sure if I am coming or going.
I hate hot/cold in so many other ways than just the weather.
Many things in this crazy thing we call life just aren't adding up. But im not really sure where im falling short.
My goal when I wake up each day is to make others smile, and happy. In doing so, sometimes I forget the number 1…Me.
I work two jobs trying to get something started, but truthfully I am flat exhausted.
Most of the people I work with at my second job are just back stabbing…___________
Yeah. I will let your imagination fill that blank. I get so tired of constantly having to watch what I say for I know how it will eventually be turned around. Guess what my life is none of your business. If you have anything to say to me, or about me. Please feel free to grow a pair and say it to my face, instead of once I walk past you. Guess what im not as stupid as you think I am. I catch you everytime you think im not around.

 
My primary job is just a little short of wonderful. I love the people I work with & our doctor even though he has his days is a great Dr. to work for. I enjoy getting up and going to work most days. Finally feel like I am out of the 100% new learning stage. I don't know everything but at least, I have some knowledge and a place to start bettering myself. We have made a couple trips here lately to the OR, boy do I miss that place. (never thought id say that outloud.) My job has wonderful perks but my heart in really in the OR. The money sure isn't though!
Here lately all I feel like is im a day late & a dollar short! Like I just cant make anything work. Cant make anyone happy! These are feelings I hate more than anything. I have always felt like im falling short. I have great accomplishments behind me, but something is missing. I know that if I wait it out, I will figure out what it is. But the waiting is killing me

 
ON a happier note I spent lots of time last week while waiting to have dinner accidentally Christmas shopping for a very special person. I am so bad a surprises the suspense of having to wait to give the actual gifts is killing me! Killing me so much that its more than a month early and I have already bought and wrapped the Christmas presents. Yes I am fully aware that its not even thanksgiving yet. So for now here is all I can show you.

 
November 4,2011 would have been a very very very special lady's birthday! We still celebrate it, even though shes up there watching over us. I miss my gram everyday. She was not only one of my biggest supporters but she was a great grandmother. Never missed a practice, a game anything really. Before each one of my bastketball games she would always bring me a cheesey baked potato from THE mesquite bean in merkel. I couldn't play basketball without it. We lost this special woman April 19,2007. My sofphmore year. The night before she passed away was just a normal school night for me, but one that involved taking the dreaded taks test the very next day. She called like she did many nights and asked if mom was home & she wasn't so I told her to catch her on her cell phone. I didn't realize that this would be the last conversation I had with my gram. My whole world changed that next day. Forever you hold a special place in my heart. I miss you and your support every day.. thankfully I know your watching over me. Love you gram

 
Let me just go ahead and add some more mixed feelings here to this little blog! I definitely got off work at noon on a Friday today! Didn't even have to work at luskeys! Took babes clothes to the cleaners in Abilene. Made a short drive to good ol clyde America and started working on moms new phone ( Jackies old iphone) that she is so graciously loaning her until she can get hers, since the one I got her didn't work! Thankfully I didn't wait to give it to her or I wouldn't have got my money back! Since I only had 14 days!!! While working on moms phone I found all kinds of old pictures on her school computer! Wow! Haha they were funny! Out of all of them I only stole a few!

& yes everyone that is my natural hair color!

 
Oh & then I went on home & started laundry! Fun! Yesss I know!
Wrapped presents! Yess! I love it
& I even decided betty crocker and I had a date! – Sopapilla cheesecake it was! Delish!

YUMMM!
Since casey is still gone to finish out my day im at my mom & dads- both brothers are even here!
Potatoes in the oven & steaks on the grill! And some bulldog football on the radio. Sure breaks my heart that my little brother cant play

Love my number 89!



 

Happy Halloween

Friday- My day started out normal as any other day, surgeries all morning & then we got to go over to the Hospital for a repair! I love my job but dang I sure miss the heat of being in the OR. Even though it’s a hurry up and wait game sometimes.

Then, we got to start Our weekend  with Casey coming in from McCamey…we were all so excited to see him. An evening with my love and friends was wonderful.

We slept in and were lazy most of Saturday resting up for the big Halloween party! At Billie Jean & Eds.

Happy Halloween from, The Flinstones

Of course casey didn’t leave his Costume on long but at least he was a good sport & wore it to begin with!

After the party we continued hanging out with friends which pretty much turned into an all night adventure , yep we will leave it at that! ha! 

Sunday- was a huge lazy day with a little cleaning, laundry & a little firewood hauling...followed by a little fence building so that my little prince man can now run around his yard instead of being on that stinking chain!

Now that it is actually Halloween, i kinda feel but but Casey is gone again, Prince man and I have the porch light off & are cuddled up watching hocus pocus while waiting on the laundry to dry so that we can fold it and hop in bed! 

So 

From all of us at the little Castle we call home

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

From this day...Forward

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD

I will no longer

Doubt

or 

Hesitate 

Be Rude…

because

Worry too much

Forget that

 I will always

Be thankful 

Remember

Seek the lord

because

 Believe

I will

Know that, even though

&

BUT I WILL NO LONGER LIVE IN THE PAST

because

My Book is already written and ill follow his lead wherever it takes me.

until..next time

Goodnight.
