House offer accepted!

Here's a pic from last night. Sara and I got dressed up and sat on the tree that fell in the yard. Wigs, material, a studio light....and ta-da! Fun!

They accepted our offer on the house! Now I have to go get a home inspection. I guess I should start collecting boxes for our move in about 30 days or so.....I'm so ready to move out of this current dump that we live in. UGH! I hate it!

Hey Kendrick - I will photograph you - no problem ;-)

House

We made an offer on a house yesterday. So now we wait to hear what the response is.

I hope they accept and we can get the ball rolling! I'm ready to move out of here. The big tree in the yard fell over last night and is now on top of the barn. ugh!

The house we offered on is awesome! It's 3 levels. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. One of the rooms has it's own bathroom on the lower level which I would convert into the boudoir studio. The rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. The master bathroom is the size of 3 bedrooms. It's the biggest bedroom I've ever seen! We fell in love with the backyard, too. The deck is multi-level and there is a swingset in the yard. The house is so close to the community center which has a massive pool and waterslides.

....like I say....ready to move!!!!!!! Fingers crossed!

I joined the living!!!!!!!

These are the pretty roses Doug got me!

Finally...finally! I'm still not 100% but I'm there enough! Whatever came around, it was hardcore!!! YUCK! Glad to get it over with.

Last night I went ahead and sat thru the WWE at Alltell arena. It was LOUD but I made it through the noise. I wasn't feeling my best but I went & watched. It was quite the experience. I think I had more fun people watching then watching the actual wrestlers. It was pretty neat to see them live in person, though! Very cool. I took a few snapshots but that's what they were...snaps!

Today we went to the zoo. We fed the fish which is my favorite part. The coy fish are HUGE and they are fun to watch. I had more fun people watching yet again...the zoo was full of all kinds of people today.

Doug and I are back to house shopping again. Looking at 2 more houses over in this area and then moving on to other areas of the Rock. Possibly Maumelle?! I guess we'll see.

Come on already!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd rather be doing this but instead I'm laying in bed feeling like crud!

Spring break is here and I'm now 6 days in bed. Woof! Come on already! I'm soooooooo over this.....I can barely stand it! The flu or whatever crap should only last 24 hours and not longer. This is insane!!!!!!!!!!! I had thought about going up to Fayetteville but I don't think that is going to happen.

Have 3 tickets to WWE wrestling tomorrow but looks like Doug may have to take someone else because I just can't fathom sitting in Alltell arena listening to 100's of people screaming at the wrestlers.

I was just SURE I would wake up 100% today....nope. Still weak and tired. I'm getting better but I still feel like I've been hit by a truck! I feel like I can barely function. SO SICK OF TV and that bed!!!!!

Waaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been hit by a truck

Ok, not literally hit by a truck but good grief I felt like I was hit by a truck! Got sick on Sunday. We were out looking at houses with the realtor and I told Doug I was feeling so awful. I wake up Monday morning and I feel like I could just die....I was sooooooo sick. Doug took care of Amelia, got her to school and made arrangements for me to go to the doctor. The doctor gave me the flu test and it came back negative but he still treated me for the flu. Well I was taking that tamiflu crap and it wasn't working. I ended up back at the doctor again yesterday and now I hear "oh I *think* you have bronchitis." Ok, is it bronchitis or is it the flu? Frankly I don't care - just make me better!!!!!!!! So I get a shot in the arse and a z pack. Today is the 1st day I have been able to get up on my own and I actually don't have a fever!!!!!! FOUR days of fever and feeling horrific. I thought it would never come to an end. Honestly!

Doug has honestly been the most supportive and wonderful husband ever!! He has taken care of me and Amelia. He has kept the house going while I laid in bed having my "pity parties." He even came in there and had pity parties with me while he would rub my back or my legs. And the crazy thing is ... he is on day number 8 of no cigarettes and you would think he would be into major withdrawal "bear" city but he's been so calm and sweet.

So I missed an entire week of school. I'm devestated. I LOVE school and to miss just one day is awful. Missing the whole week is horrendous!! My instructors have been so freaking awesome. My math teacher told me not to worry ... math would be there when I got back from spring break! So I've had to put my own spin on things....2 weeks of spring break! One week of sick "hell" and hopefully next week will be better. I'm just happy not to have a fever and I'm able to sit up and not fall over from being dizzy!

Doug and I found a house....but now I'm having 2nd thoughts. Buying a house is scary! Such a commitment. I told him I wanted to look at some more just to make sure that it was the one. It's cute. Really cute and probably perfect but I still have to make sure. Doug feels the same way.

Much better and what's a girl to do?

My baby is SO much better. We were at that doctor's office within the hour of her fever and she is on some hardcore antibiotics. That crap was $100 before insurance! OMG! But it WORKS - it could have cost more and I would have paid it!! She says it tastes HORRIBLE but I told her it was that or suffer! I feel so bad because I have to put it into a shot glass with OJ and the meds and tell her to down it. OMG...I think I'm teaching her too young. "Take a shot of OJ - down it!!" There really isn't any other way to get it down but quickly!

So that is gooooood news for sure!

My sweet hubby brought me 2 dozen roses a few days ago. I've been thoroughly enjoying them. And this evening he gave me a sterling silver bracelet with 14 karat gold settings with diamonds in it. I'm not sure how to describe it! Guess I need to take out the macro lens and take a photo of it. What'a a girl to do?? Smile and giggle! It is my birthday tomorrow ... he treats me so well!

So tomorrow we will venture out for a birthday lunch and some house shopping. We are going over to see my top pick. Big house with guest apartment (perfect for a studio) a pool, gazebo and lots of deck! It's our top fav. but never can tell until we see it in person. Then Justin & Silver will come over for mashed potato Sunday. Can't have a Sunday without mashed potatoes!

And thank you colleen for making Amelia's day!! She was sooooo excited to see the little get well gift in the mail! All those little pink skull tattoos just got her soooooo excited!!!

My poor baby :-(

She has influenza 2. She's got 102.5 fever and is sooooooo sick. Poor thing. She's on an antibiotic because her fever started today so the doctor said we can prevent most of the yuckiness.....so I hope she gets better REALLY quick!!!!!! Right now she's wrapped up in blankets and we are trying to break her fever. The quicker it breaks, the quicker she'll be better.

Well...she was going to go and visit her dad this weekend but after an e-mail battle and the "do not communicate with me" emails....I guess it has been determined that he doesn't want to take her this weekend. I'm glad. I didn't want her riding in the car for 3 hours and then infecting his whole family. I offered a different weekend and he responded with more "don't communicate." WHATEVER. Good times. (hear my sarcasm?)

I was going to have the 80's prom night with my friends this weekend but we have postponed for an April date. Warmer weather, take photos outside, etc etc. I told them that my baby is more important and they agree. They are the best friends ever!! I love them! Thanks girls!!!

I guess Amelia and I will just cuddle up all weekend long. I know when I was sick as a kid, I just wanted to cuddle with mom.

On the hunt again

Pic of me & D!

Looking at 5 homes tomorrow in Little Rock. Got our pre-approval for the home loan and off to look again. Last time we looked we were still living in Fayetteville. We had found a house but the realtor and loan officer were entirely too shady for us so we backed out. Thank goodness because our lives took a major turn and it brought us to Little Rock. We'll be settled here for a long time....if not forever. Who knows.

I am celebrating a big birthday this weekend with Colleen & Shawn. All 3 of us have birthdays on the same weekend. We're doing prom dresses at walmart and photoshoots on Saturday. Should be fun!

The following weekend we are going to the WWE wrestling match ...oh my!

And on March 31st...I get some eye surgery to correct my vision. I hope to be off of eyeglasses!!!! I hope.

D got married at Magnolia Gardens

One of my BFF's got married over the weekend in Fayetteville. I of course brought the camera...who else would do the photos? *grin* In the 10 years of knowing D.....this is the 1st time I've seen her truly exceptionally happy. I tell her "welcome to the club of happy!!!" Congrats D!
