Ok guys I just got through watching 3 hours worth of t.v. and I don't have anyone to discuss it with. Bradley has been on a Playstation kick and hasn't watched any of our shows in a long time; therefore he won't/can't comment with me. I usually have to rely on my sisters to discuss with me. I have already talked to my older sister twice tonight and don't want to call for fear of waking up the boys. Oh yeah have I mentioned that I am in love with my nephews. I would absolutely do anything and everything for them. The oldest is Ryan and the baby is Reid, actually he isn't really a baby anymore, he is almost 2. I also have another handsome nephew on Bradley's side, his name is Ethan. Ethan is about to be 1yr old on Feb 25th the same day as my wonderful Bradley. Okay so back to the tv watching, got any commenters on "Grey's Anatomy," "Desperate Housewives," "Lost" "American Idol" "ER" and I typically watch "Extreme home makeover, Las Vegas, and Medium, HA HA with a little CSI in there. I think I have gone day by day and picked out my typical shows. I do have to say though, that I record most of this on the DVR. If you don't have one of those or a TiVo I highly recommend getting ya one of those. It was the funniest thing, Bradley got me a TiVo last Christmas (2004) and I got so blooming mad cause I thought it was all for him, little did I know that was the best present he ever got me. Since I am still new to the whole picture posting thing and I don't have any children to post I thought I would post some pics of the nephews and maybe a few pics of beautiful things we have run across. Let me know if anyone has any tidbits about those million shows I just listed. I think I am gonna have to post pics of the newphews later, this whole downloading is slow when you live out in the boonies. I mean we are still on dial up and have no cable out here, thank goodness for satelite.

My handsome husband
I'm sure most of you know that I got married, so I decided to post a picture of my precious husband. I am also just checkin to see if the whole picture process worked. My husband (Bradley) is computer savy and kept messing with the picture. I secretly think he thought I didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. I honestly did know what I was doing. I also threw in a few names of other bloggers and said, "I'm sure "so and so" and "so and so" don't spend this much time playing around with a picture!" Hopefully, you understood what I just said. Ok I have to give a big thanks to my lil ole Sarah for giving me simple directions for putting pics online.
We have officially been in our new house for a month now and it is wonderful. I do have to say though that we have a problem with mice...not really in our house but outside. I can't stand those things no matter how innocent they look. Thank goodness for mice traps and pecans. They are attracted to pecans, I actually think they are attracted to anything edible and small. Okay I am now realizing that everyone I know has or is having children and how fast time flies by. Everyone I have come across on here has the most adorable children. I have yet to run across a child who isn't cute. I can't believe that comment just left my mouth. I mean all children are cute but maybe other's just haven't reached their cutie pootiness yet. Anyways congrats to all the new/old moms and your children are precious. If it were my choice I would already have a child but I can understand we needed to get things in order first (1st house, job change,new church, etc.) Hopefully, in the next year we can add a cute lil Parker to our family.

What to say.......
I am having one of those days where I have nothing to write about. Oh wait a minute that is pretty much every day. I am trying to get Bradley on this so he can add to the conversation too. Several days ago Bradley put some bronze oil rubbed door knobs on EBay that we had bought for our house. To make a long story short, we ordered the wrong size and the company he ordered them from has a no refund policy. I was not a happy camper about that cause the knobs were around a $100 a piece and we had 2 of them. Well as of yesterday we only had one bid but today they both were sold. LOL not sold for much, but I guess a little is better than nothing. So congrats to the ebay winner of some beautiful door knobs. Im actually a little jealous cause the ones we reordered have not come in yet and we had to settle for some cheap door locks from Lowe's. They serve the purpose but just dont look that good. Only we notice them because we have worked our tails off and see the imperfections that have yet to still be done. So I have just realized as have others at how many people out there blog or xanga. I got on today and found about 4 other people I knew throughout college. I could've kept looking but my students started to come in. Believe me I'd probably rather look on blogpsot than be at school. I was looking on Trey and Tracy's site and wondered the same thing...how do you get people to look at your site. It almost feels as if I'm not that important. I mean I know Im not that important but it's fun to have responses from people you have lost touch with.
I do have to tell you that I am excited about my Ashley Howard soon to be Perry getting married. This has been in the works for so long and am so happy for her. I know she will look absolutely beautiful as always and can't wait to be one of her bridesmaids. I miss me some Ashley Howard and Meredith Bufkin. I miss being around them. It's funny how our lives change. They were the 1st guests in our home but to be honest it wasnt the same. I would have loved it if the 3 of us could have gotten away by ourselves for a little while to catch up and just be giggly with each other. Again I am so happy for them and God has created a wonderful couple.
I am so ready for this weekend just so I can relax and do absolutely nothing. Funny I'm saying this, it used to be who's doing what and who all's going!! I have officially reached adulthood where all I think about is having a family, dreading work, and looking forward to not doing a blessed thing when I get home. Oh yeah and by the way we are so going to take pictures of the house clean. If you go to any of those sites I mentioned before you will see an unmade bed, boxes every where, and an undecorated house!!!

A very long day
Ok, so it's 4:00 on Thursday and I'm still up at the school. Bradley and I usually ride together cause we literally work a minute away from each other and plus it's convenient. I really am bored and am ready to go home. Being up at the school till after 5 makes for a really long day.
I have some awesome yet sad news and a few questions to throw in with that. My sister (Jessica) is so awesome and mature. She has worked her way up the ladder at Beehive in Ruston to become an assistant manager. Her boss is so impressed with her and has seen her amazing organizational skills that he has asked her to become a manager for a new Beehive in Texarkana. The good news is how responsible she is and how dedicated she is to her job. The sad news is....that I think she is going to take the offer. I get all choked up just thinking about my Bethie leaving the Monroe/Ruston area. I hardly get to see her as it is cause she works all the time and I rarely make my way to Ruston. I am so proud of her accomplishments. Along with her moving...this means she will not graduate from Tech and it also means she will take a minor break from school.
My huge question out there is...does anyone know anything about Texarkana? Where do you live, where's the best neighborhood, the best church, good eating places....etc. My prayer for her is that God surround her with new friends, the ability to juggle a business, and her safety.I also ask that if any of y'all are praying people to pray for her and my parents as they accept her decision. This is a major step for a 22yr old....hope she is 22 going on 23!!!
Ok I think I have written enough about my fam.
Oh yeah by the way I had a 2hr conference with a parent today, this also makes for a long day. Typically conferences are around 30 min. or less.
I can't wait to have children so I can remember what not to do lol :) Hope everyone out there is doing great

Finally Finished!!!
Okay I'm back at this whole blog thing. I don't know if Im the best canidate to be a blogger, but then again I may have said this before. We had a wonderful Christmas and it was fun to be at home for a night with the whole family. The best part about Christmas was that we moved into our house. YEAH!!!! It is so wonderful being alone again!!! There is still so much to do with the house, but I don't really care to do. I feel like people drive by and think "Do these people really think this house looks good?" The columns still are not stained, our shutters aren't either nor are they even hung. Actually, Bradley and his dad made them a couple of months ago and they are still sitting under the carport. But remember I am not complaining b/c I am just happy to be the house. I had to dear friends of mine be the first guests in my home. I was excited yet scared b/c things were not ready for company. I had the best thing happen to me today!!!!!!!!! My wonderful, patient, loving, and handsome husband sent me FLOWERS!!!! 1/2 dz. beautiful yellow roses!!!! Isn't he the best!!!!!!! To be honest I have been such a jerk I couldn't believe he still wanted to be nice to me, but then again thats the reason why I love and married him.
