Showers, Bad News & Good News

Lately I seem to have been going to a lot of showers. I have a good friend who is getting married in May and I am in the wedding and then I have another friend who will be having a baby next month. This past weekend I headed home b/c on Saturday I had a Bridal Tea to attend and then on Sunday I had a baby shower to go to.
It was such a beautiful weekend and I always enjoy going home and spending time with my mom. Friday afternoon my mom and I did some running around to a few of the little shops at home and then Saturday morning I had the Bridal Tea. Saturday afternoon it was such a beautiful day that I went with my parents and their friends the Long's to our camp house and cooked out, we had a great time! Sunday was the baby shower and it was good to see everybody and she got a lot of cute things. Sorry I didn't take any pictures this weekend. I don't think I have anymore showers to go to for a while.


Ok so in my post I said I had some bad news. Well I guess it's only bad news to us. They are clearing the woods on the left side of our house now :(. When we first purchased our house we were surrounded by woods. You could go out on our back deck and feel like you were in the middle of the woods, it was so nice and peaceful and it was one of the reasons we bought that house. Last year we went on vacation, remember this post, and came home to a cleared lot on the right side of our house. Well here recently they have built a house in the col De sac but our woods on the left side of our house were still there. Well I went home for lunch today and now they are clearing the woods on the left side..ugh! It's just aggravating but I guess there is nothing that we can do about it. At least we still have the woods behind our house. I told Rob that the next house we buy, we are going to buy some acreage along with it so that no one can build right next to us. We have learned our lesson.



The good news that I have is that I am going to be an Aunt to two little precious babies, yes I said TWO! My sister Anna is pregnant with Twins. She is due in August. We found out at Christmas but she is just now telling everybody and now we are allowed to tell, or at least I think we are. I don't think I could keep it a secret any longer, I am so excited for them!! We can't wait to add these two little precious ones to our family!

Snow Day 2010

Just in case no one knew yet, IT SNOWED...haha. I cannot believe that we got so much snow here in Troy, Al. I know they were talking about it on the news but I just didn't think we would get as much as we did and that it would stick to the ground like it did. I ended up being off work Friday since the snow was predicted. I am glad that I was b/c I got to enjoy the snow and didn't have to drive in it. This was Allie's first big snow and at first she didn't know what to think but when Rob got home and we both went outside, she had a blast digging in the snow and chasing snowballs. I ended up taking a lot of pictures b/c who knows when we will see this much snow again. I am only going to post a few of them and 2 short videos of Allie chasing snowballs. I hope that everyone who got snow had a great Snow Day. I don't have to go back to work till Tuesday b/c Monday is President's Day. I am enjoying this LONG weekend!

It is so hard for me to post only one or two pictures. I hope you all enjoy!

A Random Post

I am SO sorry it's been so long since I last posted. We haven't been up to too much around here. Let's see if I can remember things we have done lately. A few weeks ago we had our good friends The Grenon's over for dinner. I made a yummy pork tenderloin, thanks to the great recipe I got from my sister Anna, I also made homemade mac & cheese and then sister schubert rolls. It was a great meal. They brought their son Henry over who was about 2 months old. Allie didn't know what to think about a baby being in our house. Also this was the first time Rob had ever held a baby. Growing up Rob was an only child and he was never around many babies. I got a great picture of Henry and Rob. We always enjoy hanging out with The Grenon's!
At then end of January my friend Casey and I threw a bridal shower for our friend Sherry who is getting married in May. We had the shower in Monroeville since that is where we our from. I was in charge of making chicken salad sandwiches and a cheese ball. I had never made a cheese ball before but it was really easy and everyone loved it. It was a cold day but it was a very nice shower. I am glad we were able to do that for her. Here are a few pictures of us and some of the decorations.
The other morning I got up to get ready for work and I took Allie out to use the bathroom and I looked to my left and saw this beautiful sky, i have never noticed it before and I just thought it was pretty so I grabbed my camera. I am going to leave you with some pictures of our baby girl Allie! I will try to not let it be so long until I post again. Sorry this post was about random things but when I first started this blog last year I warned you that I am a very random person and will usually write about random things, hope you enjoy!
