I Can Barely Hold My Eyes Open

I am exhausted.
I spent the last two weeks freaking out about Adam's possibilities of getting the job.
I couldn't eat.
I couldn't sleep.
I spent hours pacing around, waiting for a phone call.
I even managed to lose a little weight!

Wednesday, after he had officially been offered the job I was able to relax.
I slept so hard, I woke up in the same position I had fallen asleep in.
And I was sore.
I have slept the same way every night since.

Relief is a wonderful thing.

As soon as I recovered from my stress hangover, I had to start another project.
My best friend is getting married.
She is definately a high end girl with a not so high end budget.
Not to mention a short time line!
So, she asked me to work on her invitaitons.
I made 4 versions for her to choose from.
Then, I tweaked the version they chose in 13 different ways and am waiting on the final verdict.
Then it is on to making the RSVP cards and other paper needs for the wedding.

I haven been so tired I haven't even touched my sewing machine!
And that is something I definately have to fix!
I miss it!

Yipee!

Some of my readers will remeber that in January, Adam did a preliminary interview for his dream job.
He went back for a follow up a couple of weeks ago.
On Wednesday, he was officially offered the job!
We honestly cannot be more thrilled!
It will be a lot of traveling for a while and that will be hard on myself and the kids.
However, it is a chance to put us in a very secure place and it is a job Adam will love!
The difference in Adam was immediate.
He has smiled and laughed and relaxed all weekend.
(Something he hasn't done in quite some time!)
He was just happy!
He will start work in August.
Last night, we went to his very first company event.
A retirement party for a man I have known for years.
It was quite lovely!
But it turned out to be a bit more business than anything.
So, Mom and I snuck away for a few minutes.

I am not sure how I managed to go all night without getting a picture of myself with Adam.
But, Congratulations baby!
I love you!

A Present For Daddy

Sorry these are blurry.
Between my camera acting up and all the excitement, they didn't come out great :(
Caleb just couldn't contain himself! He got to give Daddy a present!
Photobucket
Daddy was just as excited!
Photobucket
I think he really liked it.
Much better than the light up "World's Best Dad" tie I threatened him with all week, anyway.
Photobucket
Georgia Kate got him the "Monster at the End of This Book" book.
One of Adam's favorite book to read to the kiddos and we didn't own a copy!
Photobucket
I thought this project came out pretty cute after all the photoshopping I had to do :)

Happy Father's Day!

I took pictures of the kids holding the letters spelling DAD for Adam's Father's Day present.
I did manage to get a couple of good ones, but I am sure the out takes are much more entertaining :)

How I Know She Is Mine

Asside from being my little twin,
Photobucket
she is quickly becoming a picky eater...
Photobucket
We had grilled cheese, with peanut butter crackers and watermelon for lunch.
And like a girl after my own heart, ate the cheese out of the sandwich and licked the peanut butter off the crackers. Leaving nothing but carbs in her trail :)
Photobucket
There is no denying she is her Momma's child and I could not be more proud.

3 Parties In 3 days! (Picture Heavy)


This weekend has been crazy.
Thursday, as I was getting ready to head out for my birthday dinner, I was nearly attacked by a dog.
A pit bull to be exact.
It was on my front porch, waiting.
I barely managed to close the door before it made it in the house.
I ended up with a huge bruise and was pretty sore, but overall just fine.
Animal control picked him up about an hour later.
It was too late to go out for dinner so my family brought over sandwiches!

Friday, we started out by making Caleb's birthday cake!
Isn't Georgia Kate's hat fabulous?
Photobucket
Caleb loves to bake!
Photobucket
The finished product!
Caleb managed to dig into half of it before it got finished so I had to fix that.
Later, he stole the cars off of it and hid them from me.
We almost had a carless racetrack!
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Because he loves me so much!
Photobucket
Look at that anticipation!
Just sing the song already!
Photobucket
Photobucket
Thanks Nannah and Papaw!
Photobucket
Let's go for a ride Georgia Kate!
Photobucket
Jack even got me something!
Photobucket
A Springfield XD hat and a box of bullets!
Fantastic!

and got him a kite!

Mamaw and Papaw got him Toy Story 2!
He loved it!
Photobucket
Nanny and Aunt Jill got him art supplies!
He has had a big time with these!
Photobucket
And Angie found the elusive Tonka Pod!
We also have used this a ton already!
Photobucket
I just want to take a quick second to point out the table cloth!
A plain black table cloth and some yellow duct tape make a really cute (and cheap) road!
Photobucket
He really wanted that cupcake!
Photobucket
and so did Gracie!

I smooshed it on his face and he was not happy about it!
