Woo Pig Sooie

It's been an exciting week here in Fayetteville gearing up for the Alabama game! Students began camping out at the beginning of the week to insure their seat in the game. By Friday night, the line of campers was a 1/2 mile long and spirits were high! A parade of students were lined to high five as cars drove Stadium Drive. Saturday was spent tailgating. 76,000 fans, dressed in red, lined streets, parking lots, and yards in hopes of a big win! We hopped a couple of tailgates and headed in. If anyone was going to beat them it was the Razorbacks. Unfortunatley, we came up short. 76,000 people and you could have heard a pin drop. The sulking begins.

Oooo baby baby Ooo baby baby

EEK! It's been too long. I think school is settling and I have great intentions of posting more often! I had Matt take my first belly pic this week. 14 Weeks! The bump is growing and the pants are tightening. I've been feeling great. No nausea, less fatigue.

New Chair

I bought this old chair at Pam's Schoolhouse Sale!




Then, we got it recovered! Fabric was 1/2 off at Hobby Lobby.

My backyard is a zoo!

We had a wild night in the backyard. It all began with this guy:


You see the snake? I know, he disguises himself amongst all those hoses. That is not what I was expecting to find when I went to reach in and turn on the sprinklers. I found him about a week ago. After screaming, dropping the lid on, and running, I somehow blocked him out of my mind. A week later Matt goes back to find a much skinnier snake who had been locked in. Apparently, not long enough. He still moves. My brother in law has convinced me that he is just a gardner snake and that there is absolutely no way he can eat Boss.


They released him back into the back yard. EEK! He's probably sleeping under my window as we speak. After dealing with Lucifer we moved to the deck where we were enjoying the fireflies and sweating a bit. I look up to see what looks like a hawk, eagle, flying dinosaur? Matt informed me it was an owl. Anyway, about two seconds after gawking at the bird we were ambushed. Yes, shratnel was pounding our deck. POOP EVERYWHERE. It looked like a flock of one hundred geese came by. This poor bird has issues. It covered the deck. Keep in mind our deck is approximatley fifteen feet long.



It missed me only by inches. Hear this Pooping Owl and Lucifer: My backyard is for wrinkled dogs (Boss), bunnies, and cute birds that flutter and sing. If I see you back here again I'm going to have Mema visit with her pellet gun.

MORE TRASH?

I have no idea who the lady is around the corner who keeps putting her ex-furniture on the curb. But I just keep picking it up. I'm beginning to think I should introduce myself. We have so much in common already. A love for vintagey (yes that "y" is supposed to be there) furniture and bright colors. What can she possibly be replacing all this stuff with? Something I'm sure to envious of. I've turned into a slight stalker, roaming around her house, trying to catch her goods before others can get to it first. I came face to face with one of her close proximity neighbors who tried to capture the treasure. It was made very clear the fortune was mine. Literally, we had left a note claiming it until Matt could be there to pick it up! So worth it....

Finished Product

So, you remember this: The old window frame that Matt found on the curb around the corner from our house. I debated what to do with it for a while. I was going to hang it in our hallway with pictures, but I just couldn't get it to work. So, I painted the window panes with some chalkboard paint, knocked out a window and replaced it with cork board and a magnetic tin.

Walla! An office organizer!

Fourth of July Weekend

We had so much fun this past weekend at the Baker lakehouse! It was full of fun, food, and fireworks.

10 reasons it's one of my most favorite weekends of the year:

1. The Sandy Beach firework show! The fireworks are impressive, but even more so are the hundreds of other boats that fill the waters with you.

2. The boat ride home from Sandy Beach amongst the hundreds of boats, while jamming to any Black Eyed Peas song.

3. The Moomba! (That's the boat)

4. Super fun times with lots of people we love.

5. Full days on the water!

6. Laughing, laughing, more laughing!

7. Watching people get thrown off the boat!

8. Rope swing! (a new fav.)

9. Getting to see Jennie! It's only guaranteed a couple times a year!

10. Watching Matt and Marc ham it up!
