I'm going home!!!!!!!!

After spending five "luxurious" nights in a sixth floor condo at Huguley Hospital, I am being released!  I cant wait to shower and walk around with out the leash (iv pole) dragging along behind me.  I cannot tell you how happy Scott is to be out of the "bob sled" bed.

I'm ready to see my sister and niece and nephew coming in from Colorado. 

I hate sitting still!

I am sick....I have been sick since Friday.... I hate being stuck in bed.  I have a strep bacterial infection in my leg. Talk about fast moving.  In a span of 12 hours the infection spread from my foot to my thigh.  Needless to say, I was hospitalized for IV antibiotic treatment on Saturday.  Today is Tuesday... and it looks like Friday is the soonest i will be released.  I have gone from not being able to walk at all... with more pain than childbirth... to mild pain and swelling.  I do not recommend this to anyone.  I have been blessed to have my Scott with me here at the hospital. I don't like staying alone.  IT seems so open and in front of everyone when they open the door to your room.  The rooms are really like closets. My mom and my dad have been such a help, staying with my kids and being the taxi and food service.  I could not imagine having to do this without them.  Scott's parents also came to help.  I know that it was a sacrifice for them to come and they gladly drove in to help a few days.  My kids are doing OK.  Once they knew i was not having surgery to remove flesh eating bacteria.... they seem totally fine. They are super kids.  I am so blessed.  And so many of my friends and family and even coworkers..... have all stopped in to see me and ask how i am doing.  It is so nice to feel the love from so many people.  Needless to say, I am stir crazy.......

Who knew....

Who knew that this obsession.... the Twilight love... that my girls have discovered... could lead to a more unusual love.... old pick ups.

Madison and Payten actually want as old pick up truck when they begin driving.


The older, the better. They spot them everywhere we go.... Super Radar.
I cant believe it.



I guess there is something about things from the past that we want to hold onto. Just look at my garage.

Sometimes you just miss someone....

I miss my Opal Pate Hull, my Nanny, my friend.

There are days... I can't really explain what triggers it...

Thoughts...
Memories...
Smells...
Sounds....
Songs...
Lessons learned...

We all have people in our lives that we wish we could have more moments with. Some of those we miss are just in another town or just at home, but others we know that we must wait to be with them again.

My G babies came for a visit last week

Madison and Hadleigh had some quality snuggle time!




Isaac and Hadleigh always sit on this bench in my living room and put their feet in the window sill. I love the morning light on their little toes.


This little man is such a sweet heart. He walked around looking for papa the whole time. Scott and Eric went to a conference together so he didn't quite find him.

Hadleigh gets cuter every time I see her!

My brother turns 27!

Ice Cream cake from dairy Queen to clebrate Josh's birthday!


Kate was so very excited about blowing out the candles and then she was so upset once they were blown out.



Will was amazed at the singing... "Happy Birthday to you..."


The birthday boy!


Will knows how to love the ladies! Especially his momma!

Kate was determined to release a balloon into the sky.

I thought it was a precious way to capture the connection that she and Josh have with one another.

They watched the balloon until it was out of sight.

Why does it take so long?

Why can't Colorado be an hour drive away? I miss me some Breleigh and Ace... Lauren and Jerrod too!

I love this picture of Ace and Chance. By the way... that is the

same Chance that is the new Head Girls Soccer Coach! I am proud of the baby brother!!!

Happy Birthday Cully!

My friend turned 40! Culpepper... you are way to smokin' to be 40!

I am proud to be your friend!
