Many Adventures!

You know, I always find myself thinking about writing on the blog, and all this great stuff that I am going to say, but as you can see it does not always happen. I really do have great intentions to be better. I guess that I need to work a little harder on that. So much has happened since my last post, so I will try and remember everything. I think some bullet points will work best!

*I had a great birthday! Patrick made my day so special, and he was so sweet to me. I am very thankful for him. It was a little different this year as my family was not in town, but we celebrated earlier in the week, therefore, I had a week long celebration. Also, I found out that I would be having a nephew! I am so excited, and am already stocking up on many things for him! And now,I am the BIG 25 ! I know, so old! Praying for a wonderful year!

*We were going to go to Memphis to see USM play and spend sometime there since Patrick had never been. But, since USM lost to East Carolina the weekend before we decided not to go. I was a little sad, but we did go to the coast and spent some wonderful time with Patrick's family. It was nice to get a way for a few days. I even took Monday off. That was so nice, however, I filled my day with getting things done around the house.

*The following weekend we went to Jackson to spend time with my sister. We really went so Lori could spend time with James! ha! But, we had a really nice time. We played put-put the first night, and had so much fun. And let it be known that Patrick only beat me by one stroke! Next, time I will win! I even got to do some shopping the Dogwood shopping area. I love that place. I am ready to go back so that I can get my Christmas shopping done. On Sunday we got to eat at Stix!!! Love that restaurant! Wish we had one.

*This weekend we were looking forward to USM redeeming themselves against UAB. We lost to them last year, and really needed a win in the Rock. Let's just say we were a little more than disappointed. We lost in double overtime by one point. Heartbroken... It's not shaping out to be a very good year for USM football. Hopefully, we can turn it around and win a few more games. On the other hand, my husband is ready for basketball! I'll let you know how that goes!

*So, what does this coming weekend hold? Good question! We were going to New Orleans to watch USM play Tulane. We were going to go early to eat Beignets, and eat at this restaurant called Houstons. But, since USM disappointed us again, I am not sure what will happen. I guess you will have to stay tuned to see! Should be interesting, that is for sure!

*Well besides football, we have been busy working. Patrick's work is still a little slower so that is good for him. My work is crazy busy, but hopefully our numbers will show it this grant year. We are looking forward to the holidays coming up. Our firsts holidays as a married couple. We are very excited! However, it is so hard to decide where to go, and what to do to make all of our families happy. I have decided it just can't be done. We just have to do the best that we can. Anyone else understand this? Anyways, I am ready to put my Christmas tree up! I am so very excited. It will be so fun to decorate and celebrate the holidays.

*I think I have caught you up. I really will try and be better! Hope everyone has a great week! Until next time!.....

Do you like it!?!

Do you like my new blog header!?! Isn't it wonderful! I owe my great friend Samantha McCain a huge thanks for creating it for me. I just love it. I have no creative bones in my body, but I just send her some pictures, and she makes it work. I am so thankful for her. She is always patient and puts up with my craziness when it comes to the blogging world!

Well, life has been busy. But, when is it not? We have enjoyed the wonderful weather we have been having. It has been awesome! Football is in full swing, and it is keeping us very busy. However, we would not have it any other way. This weeks is Homecoming. A special time for the University. It is fun watching everyone come back to USM. We are looking forward to a day full of tailgating and an awesome game to follow. The Rock should be rocking! Hoping for a great game! :-)

Work has been keeping both Patrick and I extremely busy. We are ready for a break. Next week I celebrate the BIG 25! I just can't believe it. Where has the time gone? Patrick loves when I have a birthday because then I become a year older than him (not really a year, but we are different ages for a little while). Oh well, what can I say? He married a wiser woman! ha! I am looking forward to next week because on Friday we are leaving for Memphis. And as a birthday present to myself I am taking off next Friday and Monday! That means two 4 day work weeks in a row. I think that I am going to like that. I thought about taking off my actual birthday (Thursday), but surely it can't be too bad working on your birthday. We shall see!

Maybe, I can convince my husband to make a blogging appearance soon. I will see what I can do. I possibly can pull it off since my birthday is happening soon! But, I do want to say that I received my first birthday card today. It was from the President of the University! :-) How thoughtful! I do love birthdays... I love other people's birthdays because it's a chance to make them feel extra special and a day to truly celebrate them. So, likewise, I enjoy my birthday because I feel extra special and enjoy the sweet comments and well wishes from friends and family. I am in great hopes that the BIG 25 will be a great year!

Well, hopefully I will return soon for a good update from this weekend! Let's go Eagles!!
