snapshots of our life.

Just got done watching the Biggest Loser.  Love that show.  It really is motivating.  I went to the grocery store this afternoon to get out of the house (from studying all day) and bought healthy foods.  I’m the largest I’ve ever freaking been and I’m determined to get it under control.  That’s all I’ll say about that.

Met my dad for dinner last night.  Hadn’t seen him in awhile.  Craig went home, let the dogs out and came over also.  Mom and I were talking on my way home and it’s so nice to have the relationship we have now.  Both of us…my dad and I & the relationship my mom and I have.  I lucked out with two amazing parents.  And the older I get the more I realize it.  If I didn’t have them as parents, I’d pick them as friends.  And it’s so nice to get to know them now not on a parent/child level but friend to friend. 

We went to Downtown Historic Acworth on Sunday for my Grandmother’s Birthday Brunch.  I LOVED it down there.  I kept telling Craig I’d love to live near the square.  It was an adorable town and the place we ate (called The Old Mill House) was amazing!  Soooo good.  Here are a few pictures we took:

I seriously hope I age as well as she has.  Isn’t she beautiful?!

So to keep up with my little 365 day project I started a new blog for it.  I’m really going to try hard to keep up with this.  I can’t promise how creative the pictures are going to be, but then it’s not always about that. 

I’m still working on it but here is my new blog:  www.onephotoadayfor365days.wordpress.com

I have the best birthday present ever planned for Craig.  He rarely reads my blog but I don’t want to risk posting it here.  The history is deleted on my computer b/c I can’t risk that he’ll snoop like I’m known to do.  But I had to share my excitement somewhere.  He’s totally probably going to guess what it is just by how excited for him I am.  You only turn 27 once.  I can’t wait!!  November 8th can’t come soon enough so I can spill the beans.  Hopefully I won’t do it before then…

So lately I feel stressed.  So to relax from my stess I veg and watch t.v.  But while I’m vegging I’ve been thinking about everything that I should be doing.  Which mainly is timing myself on practice tests since it’s getting closer, which leaves me feeling even more frustrated. 

Last night Craig and I were watching t.v. last night and randomly decided we wanted to go camping this weekend.  So at 10 o’clock last night Craig and I were making a trip to Wal-mart to get everything we needed. (Yahtzee game included.)  We had picked a place on the internet.  And were going to head out today after work. 

But a stomach bug has hit me like a ton of bricks keeping me home from work and it’s pouring outside.  So we may just set the tent up in our living room with our air matress and play some Yahtzee Culberson style. 

It doesn’t matter what it is Craig normally goes right along with my wild ideas.  And I love that about him.  I love that he doesn’t mind hopping in the car on a whim b/c we decided 2 hours prior that we want to go camping.  And it’s not just camping–just in general he’s so dang supportive no matter how crazy my ideas are.  I love that. 

Anyways, I will probably post pictures later on this weekend.

The one thing I learned from being an Army wife is that anything is subject to change.  In 3 months we can safely say he is completely cleared of going back.  But our chances are extremely good (there is always that % that freaks me the heck out) that today was the last day Craig had to put on this uniform.  And in honor of that I took his picture.  

And another reason today was so good…I finished with my LSAT prep class!  I feel so much more prepared now than when I started.  Now I’m just anxious for it to get here so I can get the stress of studying for it out of the way!

And then I got to come home to this sweet face…

I’ve decided I take and post way too many pictures of her.  But she really is like a child.  This morning before my class I was studying for it and she jumped up on the couch and started inching down legs and laid right on top of my books in my lap.  I guess she wasn’t getting enough attention.

Ok enough about my dog.  I know.

Thought I would post a couple pictures from this weekend.  Because I posted the other day without them and that is pretty much unheard of on this blog. 

My little babies on the way to the park.  They’re so damn cute together!

Craig and I watched 300 tonight in HD.  HOLY CRAP! Amazing.  I’m normally totally not into movies like that but I actually really liked it. 

Meeting my mom for dinner tomorrow night for some much needed girl time.  Looking forward to it.

Saw this quote tonight and thought it fit for how I’m feeling lately:
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr. Seuss

Yes, I just quoted Dr. Seuss but cut a girl some slack.

My sleep schedule is so screwed up!  I love long weekends like this though.  Craig and I spent some much needed quality time together and that’s pretty much what I love so much about it.  We haven’t had a whole lot of quality time like this lately.  Most of my free time is spent with my nose in an LSAT book.  But we keep telling ourselves it will be worth it.  At least that’s what I hope. 

Last night I went to bed about 11pm.  Woke up at 4am and realized Craig wasn’t in the bed yet.  So since he’s such a hard person to wake up and get off the couch, I ended up being wide awake by the time I got him up.  So from 4am to 7:30am I spent much needed time organzing my photos from 2004 to the present.  It’s wonderful now but it was a pain in the rear end.  And I realize I take WAY too many pictures of our dogs.  Almost every month has a folder devoted to Sadie (or now Duke & Sadie) since last December.  I told Craig this morning that I feel sorry for our future children.  They are either going to grow up being huge hams in front of the camera or detest it. 

I start my new position at work tomorrow.  I’m going to miss things about being in the courtroom but the new position in intake will be a lot less stress.  And I get to work right beside my friend Katie, so that should make the day go by faster.  I needed this change.  And normally with change no matter how small I tend to freak.  But this one will be nice.  I wanted this one.
