Pictures

The day Cooper got his first tooth.

These pictures are of Cooper's friends from the class we go to every week. We decided to dress the kids up for class this week so we can get more us out of our costumes.

The little lady bug is Cooper's friend Addison and there is also Olivia and Ike in his class.

I will have more pictures of Cooper after tomorrow night.

1st Tooth

As of yesterday October 27th, Cooper has one tooth. We have been waiting for forever for this tooth to come in. Hopefully he will have a little bit of relief before the next tooth starts to push on thru. I have pics but I am at work typing this so I will have to post them when I get home.

We are finally living with my sister and brother in law. That means we are done with the old house moving out and cleaning. All that stuff that was making my life miserable last week. This week has gone better so far.
We are closing on the new house on Nov 14 so not much longer. The house looks great. It is done from what Trey and I can see. I think they have to do inspections now.

This past weekend was my 10 year high school reunion. Trey and I went with one of my oldest best friend Renee and her husband Brian. It was a lot of fun to hang out with them. It was good to see people that I have not seen in 10 years. It was funny tho to go around and everyone asked the same questions. What are you doing, where do you live, married, and have any kids?
I can not believe that it has been 10 years. So much has happened in that amount of time.
Graduated high school, graduated college, started a career, got married, traveled, bought a house, had a baby, bought another house. And there is so much more.
I better get back to work so that I can leave on time.

New Place

We are officially living with my sister now. I feel like I have fallen off the face of the earth this past weekend and this week. My life has been nothing but moving and cleaning. I am so very tired. Sorry to everyone that has tried to contact me and I have not called them back I just really have not had time. I get up early in the morning and head to the house and stay there all day doing things to get out of there and then I come home late in the evening and get Cooper ready for bed and then myself in bed. I guess that Cooper is not taking to this change in our life very well right now. His whole routine has been nonexistent and now he is sleeping in a room that is not his own. So like last night he was up every 30 minutes. I hope he will adjust soon.

We got news yesterday that we close in the new house Nov 14th. So we have an official date. Then we get to move all this stuff again.
That is all that I have for now. Cooper and I are about to head to the house to meet the carpet cleaning people. Hope everyone has a great day.

Crazy Busy

My life as just gone into absolute chaos. We have been sooooo busy. Between work and trying to move I am worn out and taking care of a baby that crawls. I am just tired thinking about it.

Let me go back a couple of weeks. On October 3rd Cooper went to his first football game. UMHB is the college where Trey and I went to school and they had a home football game that day against my sister Sara's college Hardin Simmons. We are rivals. And it makes it even more fun since my sister goes to one and we went to the other. We try to never miss this game. So we went and got Cooper some UMHB gear and went to the game. Sara and Jacob drove down for the game so we got to see them which was fun and they were even brave enough to sit with us on our side. They just wanted to sit with the winners. :) Thats right we beat them again. For some reason my batteries keep dying in the camera so I only got one picture I was so bummed.

Then there was last week. I worked 3 nights last week and that always makes me tired. But one of my best friends came into town last monday and came and stayed with us. It was so great to see her she lives in Houston and I just dont get to see her enough. I try to get her to move up here but she wont. So I think if I can find her a man up here she would. So if any of yall know of a single man yall let me know. Thats for you Kristi. :) Then my other best friend Shelley turned the big 30 this past week so on Saturday we went out to eat at Fogo de Chao and pigged out. Then I had to go to work after eating all that food. Oh it made for a long night I just wanted to crawl into my bed. So Happy Birthday to her and I hope that she has such a great year. Love you. Oh I forgot on Friday we went to the flower mound Pumpkin Patch with some girls from work and their kids and Cooper and I had a good time. He even picked out a little pumpkin. He was so tired when we left there.

So then we start this week. We are officially moving out of our first home this weekend. I am so sad. So many memories were made here. We are moving in with my sister Alicia in her house in plano until our new house is done. And so everything goes to storage and then we get to do this all over again. I am going to die in the new house. This moving thing is for the birds.
So if any of you strong men want to workout on Saturday you are more than welcome to come over and lift a hutch or couch or whatever :)

Ok that is my crazy busy life at the moment. and I think it will be like this for a while.

Crawling

As of last Thursday evening October 2 Cooper is crawling. Now the boy is everywhere. I am not sure if the dogs like it that he is crawling he goes after them all the time.

Yesterday Trey and I decided to do some moving out. So we loaded up a lot of stuff and moved it to storage. We are both very sore today. We move so much stuff and the house looks the same. :) it is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate over 5 years.
The new house is being painted this week so far so good. I know I have told many of you that I was really worried about the paint color I picked out because the walls are lighter than the trim. But I am liking it. Good thing right?

The Great Pumpkin

Today Cooper and I went to the Dallas Arboretum with our friends Jax and Shelley. We had fun walking around looking at all the pretty flowers and then having a photo session of the boys. Of course it was not easy to keep their attention. Cooper just wanted to play with the grass and the hay and Jax wanted to go to sleep. So we only got a few shots.

Happy Anniversary to the Love of My Life

Trey and I celebrated 6 years this past sunday September 28, 2008. I am so blessed to of have fallen in love with such a wonderful and loving man. Here is a funny story that some of yall might not know.

Oh how it all started:

Trey and I met in college. We lived in the same apartment complex and my apartment was caddy corner to his so we past each other all the time. Well we have a mutual friend named Jessica. Trey went to high school with her and I met her in college. Jessica and I hung out a lot.

So that gives you the setting. The story goes a little something like this. It starts as a tragedy and ends in a fairy tale. Ok Trey was known around campus as the guy with the white truck that had a hyperlight sticker on it. It was a very nice truck and loud so he stood out. So I would always see him driving around. One day while Jessica and I were out running around we pulled up to a red light and Trey was beside us on my side. Jessica rolls down her window to holla at him and then she introduces us and I said hey and rolled my eyes and up went the window. I did not want him to get a bigger ego than I thought he already had. :) So in between that time and the time when we met again my high school boyfriend and I had just broke up and I was upset as you can imagine. So Jessica came over to cheer me up and decided that I needed to go out. So she calls around and gets the low down of what everyone is doing and we get dressed and go out dancing. Trey was one of the people in the group that went out. I was not looking for anyone so I really did not care who was there but Trey did stand out and not in a good way. My first impression of him was oh what a jerk, he thinks he is Gods gift. When we were at the club we were both just hanging out and this really short guy came up to me to ask me to dance and I had to turn him down. I know it was mean of me but I can not dance with someone that I tower over. Trey hears me turn him down and then turns to me and says well I was going to ask you to dance but you will just say no. Ha ha. So that night ends and on come the next couple of weeks. I saw Trey out and about all the time. He ran everyday in the middle of the day and it always seemed to be when I was on my way back to my apt in between classes.

Then came Labor day weekend. Jessica and I were at the pool and Trey drives by. Jessica tells him to come down so he did. Well we talked and just hung out and then the three of us decided to go to dinner. So we all head home to get dressed and then Jessica calls me and says she cant go but Trey and I should still go, here is his number call him. I was thinking I am not going to call him. Then something told me to just call, so I did. He asked me if I still wanted to go out and so I said ya sure. Off we go. Now you all know the situation I am about to be in here. Is it a date, is it not, do I pay, do I let him pay. All these things are running through my head. We go eat at Texas Roadhouse and then the check comes. I offer to pay for my dinner and of course he says no. Oh boy I think what does this mean. Sometimes I just read toooo much into things you know. Somehow from that date forward we hung out all the time. We dated for a year and then got engaged for a year and graduated college and got married. So that guy that I thought I would never give the time of day to ended up being the love of my life. Isnt it funny how God has everything planned out. We just have to listen.

To Trey,

I thank God everyday for preparing you for me and me for you. These past 6 years (really 8 years) have been so wonderful. I know that we have had our ups and downs but that has just made us stronger. Our lives have been filled with so many blessings. Thank you for loving Christ and putting Him first. Thank you for taking care of me. Thank you for being such a wonderful father to your son. You bring laughter to my heart, which helps me to enjoy each day. I love you with all my heart.
