Toes, 1st b-day and a parade

I think I forgot to mention in my last couple of blogs that the DD girls got together for breakfast at Panera and then went out for pedicures. Next month we are going to Lindsey's musical RENT!
My best friend Ashley's daughter, Addison turned 1!!


We went to the FREEZING cold St.Patrick's Day parade and hung out with great friends all day!
And to keep those of you who dont know up-to-date, the house has been on the market for 11 days, and has had 5 showings, and 1 offer. The offer wasn't do-able (we would have had to pay $5000, so we will just keep praying that someone else comes along and it works for all of us! But, Im a true believer in stuff being jinxed, so, until something is in writing, and money is on the table, my lips are sealed...when I bought this house I didn't tell anyone until the day we closed, and that seemed to work well for me, so we will see if it works for selling it too!

Sewin Saturday

This morning, I woke up..yea, thats right, I said morning...9am thank you very much! Anyways..Cam and I went and worked out, went and got a bite for lunch, and ran a couple of errands. After I got home, I was feeling crafy, and not really in the mood to get dressed, so I started sewing.

First I started working on a camera strap that Lindsey asked me to make...I hope she likes it, I thought it turned out cute! I love the pattern with the stripes on the underside..

I have been wanting to make a new ironing board cover, and was lovin this fabric...I am too embarassed to show a picture of the previous board cover...just trust me that it desperately needed replaced!
And this growth chart..I didn't make it today, I made it Thursday, but thought I would share anway. When my bf Ashley's first born, Blake turned 1, I made him one, and its been fun to see how much he has grown in 2 years. Well, now that her little Addison is turning 1 this week, I made her one too!

poor fwannie

Frannie (or Fwannie if you are talking to her in baby talk, as I always do) had a normal check up at the vet today. She got all of her shots, got more heart worm meds, etc. The vet looked at her nose, and said that, as most pugs/boxers do, frannie is having a hard time breathing, and in the long run, this could cause an enlarged heart. She said that a procedure, similar to rhinoplasty would need to be done to help this. Also, Frannie's teeth are DISGUSTING! (Almost to the point of embarassment when she looked at them) so March 30th, my baby is going in for rhinoplasty and a good deep teeth cleaning, which will, more than likely, result in teeth being pulled..ugh, I feel so bad for her (and my checking account)

Lots of catching up to do...

So last time we chatted, we just wrapped up our Valentines Day dinner..

A LOT has happened since..isn't it crazy how one day you're bored and the next day you feel like there aren't enough hours in the day?

Here are some things, small and BIG that have been happening in our life!

Actual Valentines Day rolled around, and we went to church. After church we took some goodie bags over to the neices and nephews, and then went out to lunch with Molly and some other friends.

I had a much needed hair appointment! I get so excited to get my hair cut/colored!

We met up with some of Cam's friends, Marty and his gf Jenna (crazy, I know..AND we have the same initals..JML) and Gilbert, for some mexican food. Since Cam and I both had the night off, Cam and I went to Sharkeys (where his brother, Gabe, is a bartender) and had a few drinks


I went and saw Valentines Day with Chelsey, its a cute movie!

I got together with Molly and had a sewing night! It was a lot of fun! You should head over to her page and check out her awesome dress she made!

Molly and I had Chelsey's baby shower! It turned out so cute! Here are a couple of pics from it..


While I was at the shower, Cam was at church for the men's breakfast, where the theme was get 'er done. Cam said his assignment was to check and see if the bathroom sink was leaking..and it wasn't, so I guess he just went for the breakfast, and less of the get 'er done part :) It is such a good feeling being involved with our church!
After the shower was over, a few of us girls went and saw Dear John; TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT! I read the book, and the movie didn't hold a candle to the book....if you're dying to see it, wait, redbox it instead!
After the movie, Molly and Gerrad had several of us over for dinner. Let me advise you that I am not a fan of BBQ, I like bbq'd burgers and brauts, but nothing slathered in bbq sauce..just not something I love. Well... Gerrad Hall (molly's hub) makes AH-MAZE-ING ribs. Seriously, if there weren't other people there, I probably would have been sucking every last morsel off of those bones! I even woke up the next morning thinking about those ribs...he is definitley gonna have to make those again! Or maybe even teach Cam!
And.. our BIG news..(no, no bambino or ring, don't even try) we had a realtor, Barb Banman come over today to check out the house, and it goes on the market MONDAY!!!!! I have SO MUCH TO DO before then! Its such a crazy feeling! I am nervous, anxious, scared, stressed, etc. Cam and I keep talking that it is in God's hands now, and since he sees the big picture, and we don't, all we can do is leave it up to him, and trust that what happens, is happening for a reason! Lets just hope God remembers my bank account doesn't want to be depleted for this :)

tonight I posted 2 of our computer desks on craigslist and facebook, and within 45 minutes they were both gone! Thats so awesome, I was at Home Depot thinking "wouldn't it be cool if this is how quickly the house goes too?" So tomorrow I will be setting those out on the porch for the new owners!
Ok, well, I need to get started on this list of stuff to accomplish prior to Monday, so Im outta here.
Also, if you would, say a prayer for Cam and I that we are able to sell the house without a hitch, and when the time is right, we are able to find our "forever home" together!
