Sigh.

What a gloomy day. The weather outside is gorgeous, but I'm gloomy. I did my part...I voted. Now all we can do is pray for our country. Thanks for all the humorous texts throughout the election season, Shu Shu. They all cracked me up. Now that election is over with, we can move on to Christmas, right Kayla? Shonda, how is your new car??? Brynne, why is your dog so cute? There, I think I "shouted out" everyone. :-) Our house is almost finished! Here is the latest pic of it:

Yes, that is our 1600 square feet of goodness. As of right now, our closing date is January 20th. BUT, if Jay can get a teaching job lined up before that point, we could have it sooner. So pray that he will get a job! He is a great teacher...we just hope some teacher is pregnant or is moving soon! Adam may get to come home early! There is even a possibility that he will be home for Christmas! Grandma is excited about that. She has been busy delegating tasks to get ready for her Texas sons' visits. She's hilarious. Here's a story about her. Sunday night we were all over there eating. Ashlee made us all hold hands to pray and Grandma did NOT like that. She does not touch anyone because she is afraid of germs! She refused to hold Jessi's hand. Well, Jayson goes and stands beside her and she grabbed his hand. LOL. She is so cute! I have started selling Avon! Does that make me an old woman? I order Avon all the time, so I figured I might as well sell it so I can get a discount! I make half of what I sell for the first few months. I'm doing pretty well so far. Here is my website. I feel all professional. www.youravon.com/ceaton I remember Kayla sharing her TV watching schedule one time on here. I think I will do the same!

Here is our Monday night routine:

I have watched this show from the beginning! LOVE IT!

I think this is secretly Jay's favorite. He wishes that we would have that many kids. HELLO!?

This family kind of gets annoying at times, but it's so intriguing...we can't help but watch.

Here is Tuesday night:

The show that inspired Jay to lose weight. This season is ANNOYING though.

And Wednesday night:

Gotta be honest...kind of liking Private Practice better than Grey's right now. Still trashy, though.

Here's Thursday night:

We got into this show about 3 years too late. HA. We are addicted though. Pam needs to come back.

Oh, Grey's. Glad the Lesbian story line is coming to an end. That was getting WAY too raunchy for my liking. Still addicted, though.

And the weekends are mainly spent catching up on everything we missed.

Every night before we go to sleep we watch an episode of this:

We have this habit of saying at the same time, "Poor JD!" We have netflixed this show...we are on the last season now. What will be our bedtime show after this? I do not know. I am open to suggestions!

And I get to go home for lunch pretty much every day during the week. On my lunch break I like to watch these shows:

I love TLC. Can you tell?

Well, now that you know more about our TV watching habits than you ever wanted to, I guess I will close and get back to work. Comment away!

Is it 2012 yet?

Ok...I just had to post this picture somewhere because it is HILARIOUS. Best part of the night was McCain reminding Osama that he was not George W. Bush and that if he wanted to run against Bush he should have done so 4 years ago. I hate this election...I want it to be OVER!

OK OK OK!

I'm back, I'm back! I'm just such a boring person...I don't even know that I have anything interesting to blog about! We had a great, relaxing weekend. Friday night we did NOTHING. We basically laid around and watched TV all night. Saturday we went to a used bookstore. Jayson loves looking for used books for his future classroom. He got lots of good stuff...I liked looking at all the 5th grade books, too. Brought back memories! He is going to be such a great teacher. The kids love him. He has one girl that is in love with him. He said she throws the frisbee to HIM every time she gets it on the playground...she went out and bought "Dear Mr. Henshaw" because he was reading it aloud to the class and she wanted to impress him by following along. LOL. Do I need to go set those little girls straight?! HA. Back to Saturday. We went and looked for furniture at a few places but didn't find anything we liked. They should be starting on our house soon! YAY! We went to my parents house that afternoon so I could do laundry. I hate doing laundry in our apartment laundry room. It is always so hot down there and people leave their clothes in there for DAYS. I can't imagine doing that. It's nasty. Plus, there is always a fight over who gets what washer and dryer. So, I decided I'd rather do laundry at my parents, where I don't have to deal with the hassle of dragging laundry up and down 3 flights of stairs. :-) While we were there we watched the video of our Texas trip from 2004. HA! Jayson just loves Texas now....our trip out there this summer spoiled him. Kelbey and Deon were just babies in that video! They were so cute! And of course, that was the trip when we did our infamous "I just died in your arms tonight" music video. OH, and our sexy photo shoot too. Fun times. We grilled out with my parents Saturday night and came home and went to bed. Sunday we went to church and then grocery shopping. We had mama's birthday party at Grandma's Sunday night. I will have to post pics soon. I made spaghetti for the whole family. That was interesting...considering I have NO counter space in my kitchen. Poor Jayson got burnt...we lost some of the sauce....it was stressful!! But everyone seemed to like it, so it was all worth it in the end. I took yesterday off to be with Jayson since he was out of school. My place of employment does not get Labor Day off...what is up with that?! We caught up on rest and cleaning. We went to the Dollar Store (I love the dollar store!) and to Opry Mills, too. I fixed cheesy chicken for dinner and then we laid around some more. We are exciting people. I have already started my Christmas shopping! I am trying to plan ahead this year. We are Dave Ramsey'ing it now. We have the envelope system and everything. We've been doing good with it....it's so hard sometimes though. I love to spend money! Mama took Grandma to the doctor today. He put her on Plavix. Mama told him about her spell she had while we were in Texas. I'm pretty sure Grandma was mad at her for telling him! She is so cute. Uncle Paul is trying to get all the Nashville Crutchfields together to go sing at Grandma's church. Uncle James does not want to sing. Grandma said "Well, I'm sure he can be COAXED into it." LOL. I love her. Ok, I am rambling on and on now. Time to go to lunch. Are y'all happy I updated?! I love reading y'alls updates...I just never know what to say in mine!

OH No you never let go...

I miss you all already! You're all hofty and I love you!

Ready or not...

Well, I am sitting at work on Wednesday morning at 9:36 A.M. I have nothing to do today....I would rather be getting on a plane NOW to come to Lubbock! I was so keyed up last night I had a hard time falling asleep. Jayson and I watched 2 episodes of Scrubs. Normally I start falling asleep at the end of the second episode, but NOT LAST NIGHT. I'm so excited! Jayson just called--he is going to pick up his camera from Best Buy. The flash on his camera is malfunctioning. Good thing we have a warranty on it. So it was fixed for free. We have to have a camera on our trip! He is also going to stop our mail...basically through the end of July! I called my mom at 8 this morning and they were already in Memphis. Daddy must be bookin' it. At this rate, they may end up in Lubbock tonight! We printed our boarding passes last night...we got A's....yessssssssss! A guy from my mom's work is taking us to the airport this afternoon at 2:00. Our flight leaves Nashville at 5:30. That means we will have to sit in the airport for a while. I think we will eat out there and just take our time getting to the gate. Our flight from Dallas leaves at 9:20. So I guess that will be a short flight. Oh, Grandma just called. There is NOTHING like having to yell on the phone to your Grandma while you are at work. She is so cute! She said "I just feel so bad for your family having to be on the road driving all that way." I told her I was at work for the morning and she felt guilty for calling me. POOR THING! She will worry until my parents get to Lubbock. I'm excited for Jayson on his first trip to Lubbock! WOOHOO! He has been asking me ALL kinds of questions. I told him it is non stop partying action from sun up till sun down. :-) He wants to play basketball with Casey! LOL. How cute is my husband? Ok, I need to pretend to be busy! I will see y'all TODAY! I like how I am just talking to you Texas girls on here...you're the only ones that read this anyway!

Hotties.

Who is gonna pick up these 2 hotties from the airport next week?!

I'm baaaaack!

I'm actually posting! Yay! I'll try to fill you in on our busy month and a half since I posted. Adam came in town for leave. It was great to see him. He is back with Savannah, his high school sweetheart. I think marriage is in the future for them. AIEE. Adam---married?! I celebrated my 25th birthday. So depressing to think I'm halfway to 50. Jay Jay took me to The Cheesecake Factory. yum. Jayson's parents came into town on June 1st. We took them to Dollywood. We had so much fun! It's hilarious to see them down here, because they aren't used to southern culture. We took them to Logan's one night to eat and his mom just couldn't throw the peanut shells on the floor. I love it. Two days after they left, Jayson's sister Alex came to visit us. We took her to the zoo, downtown, Opry Mills...the usual tourist stuff. We also watched ALL of seasons 1 & 2 of Grey's Anatomy while she was here. LOL. She gave me a cute haircut while she was here. It's so nice to have a hairdresser in the family! I finished up my last Master's class of the summer this past Saturday. It just about kicked my butt. I'm glad that's over with. I am almost at the halfway point of the program. This weekend Jayson and I are going to Atlanta for our one year anniversary! Can y'all believe it's been a year? I can sooo remember what I was feeling like this time last year. I remember Sherilyn shoving Shaklee down my throat on the way to the rehearsal. :-) And Shonda forgetting her wallet at the house...Brynne getting a pedicure...Steve walking in the food court of the mall. It was all so fun! I am so lucky to have a great hubby. Seriously. He worked for my mom's office this past weekend and took the money he made to buy us a GPS for our Atlanta trip. I love that thing. I named the woman Susan that talks to us. She gets mad at us when we speed or if we go the wrong way. It's like she's a part of our family! Anyway, in Atlanta we are going to the HUGE Georgia Aquarium, we're going to a Braves game, maybe the Coke museum, and definitely IKEA on Sunday. That is what I am most excited about! When we get back, we just have a few more weeks till we come to Lubbock! WOOHOO! We are flying, but my parents and Jessi are driving because they aren't cool like us. We will get there late Wednesday night and they will arrive sometime Thursday midday. We'll all leave to come home on Tuesday. Then a few days after that Jayson and I leave for Massachusetts. I love traveling! I can't wait. So my parents got a wii----did everyone know that? My mom bought my dad a hunting game for Father's Day. We found an XM radio on sale so we got him that. Now he can listen to all the sports games he wants in the car. I'm sure my mama will love that. Well, I have rambled on long enough. I'm going to do better about posting---I promise!

House Hunting, Ted Dekker, and XM radio

This weekend was great! I took off of work an hour early on Friday and Jayson and I went house hunting. This is becoming a weekly occurance! Didn't really see anything we liked on Friday. We ate dinner at Chilis and came home. He played his new baseball game on the wii and then we watched several episodes of the office. Saturday morning I thought I was going to have to go into work to work at graduation since we were all sure it was going to rain...but it didn't! So we slept in and ran around shopping all day Saturday. I got my birthday present from my hubby early....XM RADIO for my car! WOOHOO! I absolutely love it. We sat in the car so much this weekend just so we could listen to it! My favorite station is the one that plays all 90's music. He can also listen to ALL the red sox games on it. Saturday night we watched 27 Dresses. LOVED IT. May be on my list of favorites now. Sunday we went to church....and Shonda, guess who was sitting 2 rows in front of us? TED DEKKER! Jayson flipped out. He was very "LA, edgy" looking. I think he's ADD. He couldn't sit still the whole service. Of course, who am I to talk? Jay wanted to say aomething to him, but felt weird because it was church and all. His daughter goes to the school here, so we figure they were in town to help move her back home for the summer. We went to my parents' house for lunch and then house hunted some more. We are such dorks! I love it! We squeezed one more episode of The Office in before we headed to Grandma's. Adam was supposed to be there but he missed his connecting flight in Dallas...so he didn't get back in town until late last night. So Grandma and Jayson have this routine every Sunday night...it's so cute I have to share it. Grandma barely eats anything, but of course she makes sure everyone else does. She is always on Jayson to eat a Little Debbie before he leaves...she knows he's on a diet! So, he goes and gets her a fig bar every time we are there and she will eat it only because he gives it to her. She loves Jayson. Last night he forgot to do it and as we were walking out the door she mumbled to my mom "Well, I guess he forgot." You better believe Jayson ran back in the house to get her her cake. She shook her finger at him. It's so cute! Well, I guess I should go. Update, everyone!

2 weeks...I'm getting depressed already.

Sigh. I will turn 25 in a little over 2 weeks. It makes me feel like such an old woman! In honor of my 25th birthday, I'm gonna list 25 things I've been up to lately, starting with the weekend. Just for fun. Buckle in...I am a wild party animal.

1. Played Wii with my hubby. I've lost my touch with bowling. What happened?!

2. Watched a whole season of The Office. I swore I would NEVER get into that show, but now I am hooked. I love Jim and Pam!

3. Ate at Cracker Barrel. Jayson and I can eat there for $17, which is pretty cheap. I got chicken tenders, a side salad, and hashbrown casserole. MMMMM.

4. Walked around the campus of TSU feeling completely lost and nervous. I had NO idea where to go and it was raining and I was wearing flip flops!

5. Took the Praxis II Content Knowledge exam. It's required for us folks who want to be teachers. 3 nuns took the test with me. LOL.

6. Went house hunting. I love to dream! It's really depressing when EVERYONE on our floor is moving out but us!

7. Went to Walmart to get groceries. Enough said.

8. Watched Little People Big World. Jayson is behind on that show, so we're trying to get him caught up. We watched the one where they went to Vegas.

9. Went to church @ TCC.

10. Went to Longhorn for lunch with my parents. FREE FOOD! WOOHOO!

11. Came back to the apartment and watched about 9 episodes of The Office instead of working out.

12. Went to Uncle Paul's for dinner. Adam is huge AND he has a girlfriend already. Stacey was there...but no baby!

13. Watched Rob and Big as a family in Uncle Paul's living room. LOL. They seem to think that Rob is just like Adam. hahahaha.

14. Watched more episodes of The Office.

15. Started a work week. I work from 9:30-6:00 on Mondays and Tuesdays. That kind of stinks. I like the extra sleep, but I don't like being here so late!

16. Planned a Bridal Shower for one of our student workers. Her colors are red and black--how fun is that?!

17. Went shopping for the gift for the bridal shower. We're getting her a hand mixer and a huge basket of baking supplies that she registered for. I also got her a few baking mixes, frosting, and sprinkles to go along with it.

18. Jayson cooked dinner for me! He did ranch and herb shake and bake chicken, baked potato, and peas. He's so good!

19. Played more wii, watched more Little People Big World and The Office. NERDS.

20. Watched Jayson's weigh in this morning. He lost over a pound again this week!

22. Jayson made me pancakes for breakfast! Is he a doll or what?!

23. Watched another couple move out this morning and got depressed wishing that was us!!!

24. Came to work and checked my email.

25. Bought Jayson a diet coke and sent him on his way to his final.

Yes, I am extremely cool and I realize this. My life is CRAZY!

What day is today?

Today is Administrative Professionals day! woohoo! The Administration in my office has decided to stretch out the fun of this day into a week-long party. Monday morning they brought breakfast in for us (there are 3 other secretaries in my office). Yesterday one of the guys in the office made us all hilarious personalized cards. My card had FRIENDS quotes all over it. Today the university held a luncheon for all the "administrative professionals" on campus. It was nice to get away for a while and get a $10 gift certificate to the bookstore on campus. But, the food was random. Roast beef, turnip greens, mexican corn, potatoes, and cauliflower. LOL. The "big dog" in my office gave us all candy. And we just got an email from our supervisor letting us know that we get the afternoon off! WOOHOO! So I am out of here at 2:30. Jayson has class at 3, which stinks. I'll just spend the afternoon cleaning and doing whatever I want! Who knows what we will get tomorrow and Friday for this week of fun! Adam is in town...I haven't talked to him yet. I will have to call him this evening. Well, i have some stuff to finish before I leave for the day, so I will close. Here is a pic of my office. We went to a community college a couple of weeks ago and made hot dogs for the students.

Something to blog about....

YAY! I'm back! Yesterday was super busy for me at work, but today I actually have time to blog. We took a break from our wii'ing last night to go meet Bob Harper and some of the Biggest Loser contestants. SO FUN. We love that show. That show is what inspired Jayson to start losing weight. He has lost 37 pounds so far! I am so proud of him. He weighs in every Tuesday morning. He allows himself one "cheat meal" on Tuesdays, but other than that he does not cheat at all. He is so strong! Anyway, we got to the bookstore where Bob was doing his book signing at around 6:20. It was already pretty crowded. We got stuck behind a woman who brought her two toddlers to the event and couldn't control them. HONESTLY. Why ruin it for everyone else? She pushed her way up to the front with her double stroller and let her kids run wild. I was going NUTS. Bob came out at around 7:15. The place went nuts--he is from Clarksville, which is about 45 minutes outside of Nashville. So he is a hometown boy. His family and friends were all there. He spoke for about 15 minutes. Very motivating...and he is a Christian! He was very vocal about God giving us our bodies and how they are His temple. Next thing we knew, Dan and his mom Jackie from this season walked out, and then later Cowboy David from last season walked out. It was so fun! We were in group 3 to get Bob to sign our book, so we had some time to mingle after he spoke. We met all the contestants that were there. They were all super nice to talk to. Dan is in town for GMA week (Gospel Music Association). He gave us a CD and invited us to come hear him sing downtown. Cowboy and his wife were super friendly too. He gave Jayson his card with his cell phone number in case he ever needed encouragement or advice on his weight loss. Jay Jay was on cloud nine! Finally it was our turn to meet Bob. He is so cute! Our pic with him isn't as good as we wanted it to be. The woman who took it didn't let us know she was taking it, so I had to dive in to even get in the picture! It was a great night though. Here are some pics:



Jayson and Jackie from this season (Dan's mom)

Us with Dan!







Jayson with Cowboy David



Us and BOB!

My arm hurts real bad...

Yes, I think I have a wii injury. It really is a work out. My left arm is fine, but my right arm has hurt for 2 days now! I think it's because that's the arm I use when I bowl. My wii fitness age is 60. Is that a bad thing? HA! Jayson has played it so much that it is messing up our carpet in front of the TV. We're obsessed. I have been bidding on wii games on ebay since we got it. Haven't won a game yet. So yesterday morning my mom calls and wakes us up to tell us about Stacey. Poor thing, I just feel so bad for her. Her BP is still up and down and she is running a fever. They think it's from the magnesium they've pumped her up with. I guess her body became allergic to the baby at the end of her pregnancy and that's what started it all. The doctors told her yesterday she came very close to death and that her liver was failing when she got to the hospital. She didn't realize that. Her platelets are low and they have mentioned that they might have to give her blood today. They have given the ok for the baby to stay in the room with her, although Stacey is still being closely watched today. They still aren't allowing many visitors at this time. It seems like she's actually able to hold the baby today. I hope we can go out there sometime soon. We will take pics when we go. Here is a pic Jeff's dad took of Lauren.


I am sure today will be another boring work day. I definitely think something in our apartment is making me sick, and I don't know what it is. The minute we step into the apartment I can't breathe. I'm at work now and I can breathe. I can't wait to have a house! I can wait to have bills out the wazoo, but I'm ready to live in a house. Well, I'm gonna go see if anyone else in my office is alive. It's been pretty quiet around here today. I like it when you Texas girls blog! It gives me something to do!

Wii like to party...

Well, I have to start out by telling a story. Last night was our banquet. It is a dressy occasion. I rushed home from class, showered, and changed for the event. I put on a black formal dress (one that I bought for the honeymoon). I kept asking Jay if it was ok to wear...if i was showing too much cleavage, etc. He said no, and that I looked good. By the way, he had already bought me white roses earlier during the day. He had them sitting out on the counter along with a cd he bought me when I came in from class. Here is a pic of the roses....plus some flowers I stole from the banquet centerpieces.

ANYWAY, I head over to the banquet. Jayson said he'd come over later. I had to be there early to register people and such. I go sit at my table and do my job. I notice an old hag standing there staring at me. I ignored her and went on with my job. A few minutes later my boss comes to get me and takes me into the bathroom. She proceeds to tell me that someone came up to her and told her I was inappropriately dressed. This woman had run her mouth to THREE people, who all came up to my boss to complain about my dress as well. My boss asked if Jayson could bring me a sweater or something to go over my dress. I told her NO, that I was going to go home and change. Talk about humiliating. I grabbed my purse and called Jay to tell him to come pick me up. I'm bawling at this point. He came to get me and I changed into black pants and a suit jacket. I called my mom crying (she and my dad were coming to the banquet too). They were ALL ready to go jump down that woman's throat. Come to find out, she has accused my boss of being inappropriately dressed in the past. My boss was SUPER nice about it...told me not to give it another thought, etc. I kept telling her that I am Polly Pure...I have never been accused of dressing innappropriately before in my life. I would have told the woman off, but I don't want to lose my job. I just got through the evening and I glared at the old hag whenever I got the chance. :-) Today after church Jayson and I went to the new SuperTarget. LOVE that place. He needed to get some new clothes because his old spring clothes are way too big on him now that he's lost so much weight. He picked out some shorts and a polo. We swung through the electronics, and what do we see? A Wii. We have been looking for one for so long. I tried so hard to get Jayson one for Christmas last year but had no luck. We knew we had to get it. SO, $250 later, we own one! WOOHOO! We have had so much fun tonight playing with it. I beat him at golf, but he killed me at bowling. I laughed so hard at him when he was boxing. It's really good exercise. Here are some pics of us playing. Disregard my white trash outfit. :-)

Here I am golfing. Good stance, huh?

Jayson was very serious about golf.

See, I told you I had good golf stance.

Jayson kicking some tail at boxing.

A rainy Friday

BOOO....more rain in Nashville. The weather has been perfect here the past few days...high of 72 and sunny. Now it's raining and it's going to get cool this weekend. My weekend is going to be incredibly busy. Today I am setting up for a banquet all day at work. At least we got to wear jeans! Tonight I have class from 6-9, and tomorrow I have class from 8-4. After class I have to change and go straight to the banquet. The banquet is for all the graduates of the MHR program this year. Next year my mom will be a part of it! WOOHOO! Jayson's not too excited about me dragging him to this thing all dressed up. I don't get to see him much this weekend, so he can deal with it! LOL. He went to his meeting for student teaching yesterday. He will student teach in Rutherford County in the fall. That's the county where my parents live--we want to move out that way eventually. He is gonna be a great teacher. He wants 5th or 6th grade. NOT ME. Too many attitudes. I was shocked that Michael Johns went home last night on Idol. What is up with that? There were others that deserved to go before him. Adam is coming home next weekend! WOOHOO! I am so ready to see him. That's it for now. I've learned lots of life lessons lately....one being that no matter how dear a friend is to you, you just have to let go some day. And I think I have finally done that. It has stunk majorly, but that is part of life, ya know? All part of growing up. I'll be stronger for it all in the end! Ok Shu Shu. Time to post another blog about how you did open heart surgery or something. You're turning into McDreamy.

I'm on a roll...

WOW, two days in a row. This will be a quick one. I will be out of the office all day for work! YAY! We are going to a community college about an hour and a half from here. They are doing a career day, so my office is going to fix hot dogs for everybody and try to get people to come to our school. Any day away from the office is a good day. My shows were so good last night! David A was definitely my fave. David Cook kind of disappointed me. TOO dark for Inspirational week! And Biggest Loser....GOOOO ROGER! I have to vote for him this week. He deserves to be in the finals. Mark just looks sick to me now. Jay Jay cooked dinner last night. It was soo good and healthy! He fixed shake and bake chicken parmesan (no sugar added marinara), peas, and baked potatoes. I have such a great hubby! I finished the scrapbook for our niece....now my living room can return to normal. Well, my office is leaving me. I am really gonna do better at blogging. I don't have exciting doctor's office stories like Shu Shu, but I will do my best.

I'm blogging again!

Wow, I haven't done this in awhile. I guess Xanga is soooo last year. I saw that my awesome Texas cousins had started this up, so I couldn't be left out. They are the coolest people I know, so if they are doing it, it must be cool. LOL. I just got to work...it is HOT here today. I think something in our apartment is making me sick. It gets dusty really easily, and I think there's mold somewhere in the air conditioners. Everytime they run I can't breathe. So it's either burn up or be stuffy. Last night was eventful. I got one of those Scrubbing Bubbles automatic shower cleaners. You just push a button when you get out of the shower and it cleans it for you. We have LOVED it so far---until last night. Around 2 AM I woke up because I heard something going off...like hissing and rattling. I got out of bed to investigate. Around that time, Jayson woke up too. He thought it was a bird caught in the air conditioner---HAHA. I told him that the shower cleaner was going off. I'm in the bathroom trying to stop it...getting sprayed by chemical cleaner in the process. I finally got the bottle of cleaner out and it stopped. I didn't think to take the batteries out. So we go back to bed...and about 15 minutes later it starts going off again. Jay got up, tore the batteries out and threw them in the sink. That's our excitement for the week. HAHA. I am working on a scrapbook for our niece Natalie. Her first birthday is next week, so I am on a deadline to get it done in time for her party. Our living room looks like a tornado has ripped through it--I have a lot of scrapbooking stuff! We started looking at houses this weekend. Just to dream. Jay has to have a teaching job before we can buy a house. But it's fun to look! We found an area that we LOVE too. We are going to have a busy summer. Jay's parents are coming to visit on June 1st. We always love it when they come here! His mom loves to shop at Opry Mills, so I know we'll do that. I think we're also going to take them to the Smokies one day. Two days after they leave, Jayson's sister Alex is coming to see us! I am sure we will shop some more with her. We are going to Atlanta for a long weekend for our anniversary in June. I can't believe we have been married almost a whole year! Time flies by when you're in LOOOOOOVE! We may go to a Braves game...and I want to go to IKEA bad! We are going to Texas July 17th! WOOHOO! We are both so excited about going. I think Jay's just excited about seeing Shu Shu. HA. Two days after we get back from Lubbock we're flying up to Massachusetts for a few days. PHEW. We are going to be world travelers by the end of the summer. Jay will student teach starting the first week of August, so we'll get settled back in then. He is still losing weight! We are going to have to buy him new shorts and stuff for the summer, bless his heart. Ok, I should do something productive at work today. Have a good day everyone!
