tales of babies and great friends...

I am so thankful for the beautiful days we have had during this week off! The rain was nice and needed, but I'm glad it's gone for now. I hope the remainder of spring break is just as pleasant. It has been a great week--relaxing and full of blessings. As many of you know, many of my friends had babies recently (Tasha, Jennifer, Michelle, Ginger) or are currently pregnant (Amy, Deb, Audrey). This week I found out two more of my friends are expecting this year--Congrats Nicole and Christi! I am so happy for them. They are already great parents and I know they'll be equally as great with the next kiddo!

I also got to catch up with some old friends this weekend. Saturday I spent the evening and night with Keith and Dana. It's always fun visiting Laurel. I am so thankful that not only do I always have a place to stay at their home, I HAVE MY OWN ROOM! I have such great friends! I swore to myself after the summer of six weddings that I would never become friends with another single person. I broke that vow by befriending Dana. While I was super excited for her when she got married, I wasn't extrememly happy about being a bridesmaid for the 87th time. That move has however proven to be very beneficial and worthwhile in the long run! LOL! I do really love them and thier hospitality! They're like a brother and sister to me now! I went to my old church Sunday morning and got to see Michelle and Taylor--he's getting so big. I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was mad at her because she waited for 13 weeks to tell me she was prego! It's crazy how time flies these days! Then, we saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Coat presented by Laurel Little Theater, starring my boos Lacy and Shane. That was amazing. LLT always does such a great job with their productions... And the talent, especially for such a small area, is phenomenal.

The weekdays have been pretty calm and uneventful... Bo "made" (by made I mean took out of the box and put in the oven) lasagna one night and we hung out and got all caught up on tv shows since I am quite possibly the only one in the modernized world without DVR. Tuesday night Mom, Madelyn, and I went to a MSU/USM baseball game at Trustmark Park in Jackson. We didn't bother with purchasing tickets in advance because we didn't really think it would be too crowded... Wrong. All the seats were sold out so we reluctantly paid our five dollars for the cheap seats--above the outfield... just under the scoreboard... in the grass... Thank goodness we don't have allegies. It actually turned out to be a nice night though. The dawgs unfortunately just couldn't get it going. We left in the sixth and they were down 10-1... Madelyn of course was more than happy to rub it in since she now considers herself an eagle. She won't admit it but she's still a bulldog at heart. I even caught her singing "Go State... Go State" a couple times.

And now I'm packing for my trip to Nashville to visit Vallery. I can't believe the week is half over, but I'm so looking forward to the trip. Friday we are going to the Frist Art Museum and Saturday to the Opry to see Kellie Pickler and the Charlie Daniels Band! And most importantly, Vallery likes sushi and I am SO deprived of that in southwest Mississippi! So sushi is a MUST for this trip.

I hope and pray that everyone is having a safe and happy spring break.
