Very Sleepy

So today the yard crew was supposed to be here to fix the issues we are having out back at 8:00.  I got up at 6:00 and got my shower and got ready for the day.  Well they NEVER showed.  The thing is sleeping late late is not something I have the luxury of being able to do, but sleeping till 8 or 8:30 is my favorite part about Saturdays and I did not get to do it.

I do not know if that is what it was, the crazy weather, or if my iron or something is low, but I could not stay away the rest of the day.  Coffee....nothing.....more coffee nothing.  It was super frustrating.  I do not like to sleep or to be sleepy, so when I have days like today where seriously nothing gets done then the mood ampliflies.

Mom is at the beach celebrating Steven and Brennah's wedding.  I am so happy for these two.  Steven has always been a great cousin, and he has needed someone like Brennah in his life for a while.  It was funny when he first told me about her on the phone I knew that there was something special about this girl.  When he first introduced us it was confirmed.  She is gorgeous (that may even be an understatement) on the outside and on the inside.  You can tell that they truly fit each other, it is prety great.  Congratulations too you  both, I wish that I coul have made it.  Hopefully we will all catch up soon.  Love you guys and I hope that the Honeymoon is amazing (slightly jealous).

Well, Auburn played.  They were against Mississippi State and they just could not get it together.  Even though I was dozing off and on through it I could not believe it.  We will be strong, we just have to find that leadership in the team and they have to find their sense of family.  Being an Auburn fan is not about winning or losing, it is not about coming or going.  It is pride, love, faith, strength, security, and so much more.  Either you are ALL IN or you are not!  War Eagle everyday, not just on game day.

Today was a great day.  Brandon and I got up at 6:30 and went to work.  He fixed breakfast for us all.  Bacon, Sausage, Pancakes, and eggs for him and the boys.  It was definitely good and I was super thankful for the great start.  The boys were excited too, eggs are Danny's favorite and pancakes are John Michael's so everyone was very happy with the breakfast.
After breakfast we headed to see the new house.  We have not been all weekend.  We were so excited to see that the sheetrock guys had been back and did a great job with the huge holes that had to be fixed.  They missed two, one in our bedroom and one by the return vent downstairs.  They had hung the mirror in our bathroom which was great to see but the other bathrooms still did not have theirs.  I am guessing sometime this week.  They had also sanded the floors upstairs so hopefully the carpet and new pad will be down soon.  So many things so very little time.  It will all get done though, especially if the contactor's will get their act together.

We came home and Brandon got to work on editing a wedding and I got ready to go to a bridal shower.  I was helping to host it and it was at the Birmingham Muesem of Fine Arts.  I have to say the place was perfect and Brennah was stunning as always.  Vickie, my cousin, has so much creative ability in her one hand that the shower was perfect, a little southern charm for the California Girl!  It was great and I am so glad that I was a part of it.  I am also sorry that Julie was unable to fit the artichoke picture in her purse, maybe a smaller one will work better. 

I came home to dinner on the table.  It was a nice change of pace for me not to spend the day in the kitchen.  Brandon was able to get the wedding almost done, which is nice because then we can get the rest of the office packed up.

John Michael has swimmer's ear so he was up and down all night.  I am hoping he feels better in the morning, this is the first time we have been through this and since I am still paying off medical bills from his last surgery I am really hoping we will make it through this without a trip to the ENT.

Busy Bees

So this morning we all headed out for a family breakfast.  We enjoy our Friday breakfast at Legends.  It is nice to do something special as a family and it gets us ready for the many things that we have to do.  And there is always a nice sized to do list on Friday.
We headed out to the new house to see that there were bathroom cabinets with the vanity tops!  They are the ivory marble and are so so pretty!  I love them!  I knew that I would but there is something about seeing them in  the house that will be ours, hopefully sooner than later!

We headed to get some boxes.  The amzing people at Friends Beauty Supply in Trussville was giving them away and to say that we were thankful is an understatement.  We got as many as we could in the van. 

We headed home and all got to work with packing and cleaning.  These are the things that are taking up many hours every day.  I am seriously trying to get rid of as much as I can.  For instance my kitchen is in coffee stuff, which I know my mom is not fond of so I will be selling it on eBay.  We have to be able to come to aggreements on decorating which means I have to be willing to bend to.  I am just not sure what to do with my wine glasses?  Any advice?  They will fit on the cabinets at the new house, so I can lose the curio, but then again if we could make a litlle money on them that would be awesome. 

I went with mom to help address the bridal tea invitations for my cousins future bride Brennah.  The invitations are awesome!  I love them, very colorful and artsy.  Definitely unique!  We got them knocked out pretty fast, which was a definite plus.  There is so much going on this summer.  Most days I am overwhelmed. The best thing is it is all happy things, which is amazing!!!
