Gummies and Girls Night
I just got home from spending the evening at my parents. Drake and my dad are working tonight so me and my mom decided to hang out. We rented He's Just Not That Into You and ate junk food. :) So a pretty low key evening, but a night with your momma is always a good one!

Beautiful Saturday
Today was a really fun day! We got up and started our day with a little Saturday morning Spongebob :) and then got ready to meet some of our friends up at the corn maze they have going on right now. This is what it looks like from up above...
It was a really nice day...we have had great weather lately and I am loving it! The maze was fun, they had different check points that were numbered and you had to answer a question, and it would tell you based on your answer which way to go next, so that was neat.
Drake and I got there before everyone else so while we were waiting we decided to get some pictures on the tractors :) While we were sitting and waiting I was just sitting and watching all of the kids playing around us and the parents taking pictures and playing and I got so sad. I asked Drake if he ever thought about what our life will be like when our time comes and he said he likes to think about our kids playing sports and how he can't wait to teach them how to play. It was nice to just sit and talk while we were waiting on the gang. I love Drake so much, he always makes me feel at ease about the future baby Wade.
With Jenn, Vivian, Danielle, (and her baby bump), and Kaylee
Ronnie snapping pictures, this was at the beginning when we were ready to go! :)
My hubby
Kaylee and I had matching popsicles
I gave Jenn a break and took Vivian during the maze...I didn't mind :) I loved her little carrier that she got from Target-note to self!
Still walking...
Vivian passed out
We're lost! haha
We did it! :)
After we got home I watched Alabama continue their undefeated season! Roll Tide!! Then we went over to Jenn and Ronnie's for dinner and a movie. So we had a great day today! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Off to a good start
Well the weekend is off to a good start after an evening out last night. We decided to do a little bowling :) We went with our friends Kevin and Alex and were competing(of course) couple vs. couple to see who had the highest score. It was so close after the two games but Drake and I came out on top. yay
Then we all came back to our house and watched Step Brothers in our pjs and just had a good time. I am wondering how I went to bed so late last night (crazy I know) but my body still woke me up so early this morning?! Oh well, that makes my Saturday feel that much longer.

random stuff
Ok I promise I will get back to writing more! I am really slacking off lately. This week has just been a whirlwind I feel like. I think I have stayed late at work everyday. I am really starting to get my groove, which means I am crazy busy. Plus I want to make sure and work really hard because I have to have my case load filled by December 31st and I surely don't want to be stressing about getting my numbers around the holidays.
Anyways...today after work I went over to the mall and got a cute top from lutus boutique. It was between the top and a cute dress that I could wear for a date night or out on the town, so I went the practical route and got the shirt. I will get more use out of it I think. I could buy so much from that store! Their stuff is so cute.
After I killed some time I went to my appointment for a 1 hour full body massage...amazing! I would normally feel guilty treating myself to something like that but not this time...I found out about a cosmotology school here that does one hour massages for $25! The girl did such a good job, it was so nice to just relax.
Oh and I had two great phone convos this evening...my mom telling me that Kylie will be here her whole Christmas break! 3 weeks of Kylie! I cannot wait to see her again, my parents showed me pictures of when they saw her a few weeks ago and she is getting so big. AANNDD my other conversation was Drake telling me that his leave got approved so we will be able to go up to Virginia over Thanksgiving and stay with his mom and step-dad. Now...if we could just get pregnant this month so that we could share the news with his family in person, that would be great :)

appointment
I just wanted to write to say that I have made an appointment with the OBGYN. I called today to set it up...it is with a new doctor that I have heard great things about so I am going to try her. My last one was just not the best, I felt like she was rushing me out when I would ask questions. So when I called the nurse said they were booked through December, but then let me know about a cancellation! :) yay So...I am set to go in November 12th. I am excited, anxious, and nervous all at once.

Life's a Beach
Drake and I just got back from taking Cosmo to the beach. It was such a pretty day. I am so lucky to live by the beach, especially such a pretty one :) Here are some pictures from our day...
My little family :)
Stopping for a break after they ran down the beach chasing birds
My turn! :)
Drying off after jumping in the water after a bird
Always a good day when you take this walk
Happy Saturday!!!

The weekend is here!
This week started out slow but then on Wednesday night we spent the evening up at NEP. Drake was filling in for a men's softball league so I went up to watch. Here is a video of him hitting a homerun in extra innings to give his team the lead :)
Yesterday after work we went up to the high school so that I could watch some of my old students play powderpuff. I miss them! I felt so loved all evening. Lots of hugs :) Soccer season just started back up for them so it will be weird to have my evenings at home during this time of year.
Well, no luck again this month with baby Wade. I started yesterday :( This morning I woke up at 5:30 with my killer cramps. Not the best way to start your morning. Ugh
I am still holding my head high. I am going to make an appointment for November since that's when my new benefits kick in for work to try and see what the problem could be.
Well, today is FRIDAY! yay The weather is amazing and will be all weekend, I am so excited. So now that it is getting cooler what does every dog need?!
A snuggie! hahaha I know this was the most un-needed thing but it is hilarious. She has had it on since I got home and I think she actually likes it. She usually rolls around trying to get her shirts and things off but she is oh so comfy in her snuggie :)
Well, I am off to hang out with Drake and then Jenn, Ronnie, and Vivian are coming over to watch The Proposal later tonight. Yay...The weekend is here!

blah
Well I have been pretty good about writing more and more on here but I have not written in a few days...just not much to write about. I am in the same situation I was last month with the baby update, I was supposed to start around Sunday and have not started yet, but the test on Sunday was a negative. I just start to get annoyed...I am going to try another test in the morning. I will keep you posted.
It's just been a slow week I guess, my parents are out of town and Drake and I are on total opposite shifts right now. But once Thursday hits it's smooth sailing :) Well, that's it for me today...hopefully I will have fun pictures and blogs later in the week for you.

Expectant Faith
This was on a blog the other day and it has really inspired me...
"See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the land."~James 5:7
TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Too often people passively sit around waiting for their dreams to come true. As time goes by they begin to think things will never change for them, and the longer the wait, the more frustrated they feel. It's important to keep moving toward your dreams in faith and hope. Expecting God's best and making preparations to succeed will help you stay in faith during times of waiting. "Joel," you might ask, "How do I do that?" Have expectant faith. Start talking and acting like your dreams are going to happen. People may think that sounds strange, but don't let it bother you. God has given you a dream, and you may see things they don't see. As you settle it in your heart and mind that God is faithful, you'll get excited about His promises for you.
If you feel like you're in a holding pattern, don't get discouraged; God is working on your behalf. Put your trust in Him. Start making preparations for the dreams God has planned for you so you will be ready when they arrive. Take your faith to a higher level — go from believing to expecting — and God will bring you the desires of your heart at just the right time.
So, what did I do today? We currently have our office that is kind of the random room in our house with the computer and a couch, nothing too exciting going on. It will eventually be our baby's room. So...I acted like my dream is going to happen. What will be one of the first things I do once I get pregnant? Start getting the office ready to transform into a nursery. So, Drake and I put our couch on craigslist this morning. Don't worry I will not go totally crazy and get anything for a baby in here until I am pregnant, but I am getting the old stuff out. So, the couch already sold and is out of here! We never use it anyway, but it was still a big step. :)
