There's A Full Moon

It's a full moon out and you know what that means......

So, tonight I heard someone tell me that a full moon is when emotions run hot and certain things begin to go awry. (Yes, I spelled that correctly, look it up if you dont know what it means) Tempers flair, people cry, women often have babies earlier than expected.

Anyways, the North Georgia Softball who was 51-0!! Just lost their first game of the year!! They got beat by Valdosta State. I can't even believe it! I do not think that Valdosta is any better than us. Its just that on any given day any team can win and thats why softball and baseball alike are equally as interesting to watch and be a part of. I think I will chalk that one up to the full moon!

Caleb and I and his family attended Lumpkin County High School graduation tonite because Caleb's cousin, Katie Copeland, graduated. Congrats Katie! Enjoy these times because you will never get them back!! The graduation took me back once again to when I graduated! I was nervous, excited, and proud all at the same time. As I sit and think about it all now, I realize just how privileged I have been raised. I have had the newest and best of whatever it is that I wanted. In high school it was all about Abercrombie & Fitch, the coolest clothes, and vera bradley of course. Then, when you go to college its all about wallabees, kavu, having the best designer bag and of course the shoes to match and not to mention sororities like PHI MU, the best of whats around!! Now, as I have been out of college for a year and on my way to marriage, in about 5 months and the time is ticking fast, all its about is Calaphalon Cookware, Leather furniture, Rod Iron Beds, Simplicity vacuums, and the best household products that money can buy all to make married life a little bit easier. My parents have always given it all to me. They still would today. It is going to be a hard adjustment to depend on Caleb to "give it all to me" I'm just not sure how I will cope with not having it "all"? Have I ever had to go without? Nope not at all.
I'm not saying that I will have to go without now that Caleb will be taking over but I am just a little apprehensive and nervous to give him the reins as I am sure he is nervous about taking them. And frankly he would probably kill me if he knew I was writing about him in my blog.

I am giving a shout out to my parents for the wonderful and lavish upbringing that I have had. And also I am thankful that they taught me how to manage when the times get tough. I didnt deserve any of what they have done for me and yet they just keep on giving and doing. I hope that one day I can treat my children as they have treated and done for me because they go unnoticed frequently. Love you both Mom and Dad!

End of One Chapter and Just the Beginning of Another

Taking it back a little bit old school. But, alot of things are happening around me right now. I am reminded that I have been graduated from high school for 5 years now!! And even more unbelievable, I have been graduated from college for 1 year!! Where does the time go? I seems like yesterday I rushed to get ready for graduation and head to the school to take this picture with my friends. I have since begged them to please let me take another picture similar to this one to have a 5 years out of high school picture and then maybe 10 and 20 years!! Just to see how we all change and age. Even though its scary to think about it would definately be an awesome memory and tradition to keep up with.

I finally got my save the dates in and out of my hand in the matter of 2 days!! I am soo excited it finally feels like I have accomplished something and have something to show forth for my wedding.

Well, this is very well my last night in my house in the little mountain town of Dahlonega. This house is sentimental to me. I am a very emotional person. It's where Caleb and I first met. On the back porch of that house to be exact. Who knew it would turn into what it has. We will be married in 5 months!! I have lived here for 3 years now. I do not even know what to think or where to begin. I have stuff everywhere!! It overwhelming to say the least. I hate moving but then again I dont really know anyone who likes to move. I will be patiently awaiting the construction of our garage apartment. I truly hope it will be up before my birthday!! Though that maybe wishful thinking on my part?!? Who knows what the future holds and then again who would want to know anyways. I'm glad I can leave it all in the Lords hands. I lean on him for strength, guidance, wisdom, and courage.

Here's to my last days and night in a place very near and dear to my heart. It will be so hard to leave but I'll treasure all of the memories I have had here forever.

Long Week in Review

WOW I have had one of the longest weeks of my life it seems? I am usually a very punctual person but this week was definitely an exception to that statement. I was late to work twice this week. That really threw my entire day off and also affected my work ability and confidence.

Friday, Caleb sent flowers to my work. Nothing special just to say that he was thinking of me and to remind me that he loves me. It was really sweet since I was having a rough one.

I finally satisfied my mother and ordered the save the dates. They will be here soon and then she will be on me to address them and get them out!! But, I was a little disappointed in myself because they come in increments of 100 and 200 and I was thinking that 100 would be enough and I just wouldn't send any to my family (since I know they are coming anyway) But I guess the good Lord was like NO! you need to send one to everyone because right when I was about the place the order it asked me if I wanted to order additional ones and I thought it was going to let me choose a quantity. But no it didn't it just bumped the order to 200 and processed the order. SO needless to say I will have 200 save the dates and I only really needed about 110 maybe 120.
It sure does feel good to have one thing checked off of my list!

Last night, Jessie had her Couples Shower/Fiesta. The food was great as always and everyone was skinny, stylish, and happy. I love my friends from home! It makes me miss them that much more when I have to come back to Dahlonega. I just don't have the same friendships in Dahlonega as i do at home. I guess that saying is true Home is where the Heart is. Now don't get me wrong, I do have friends in Dahlonega but there's nothing like my ones from home. It seems more and more we grow similar even though we don't talk or see each other everyday. Some of us have more things in common than others but that's what makes us, well....us.

Speaking of friends, I went to Elliay on Tuesday and got to see my best friend Amy and her baby Callie. Callie is getting sooo big!! Gosh it seems like every time I go to see her she is laughing, rolling over, smiling, eating her big toe. She is such a cutie. I will keep her in my prayers this week however, because she has a clogged up tear duct on her eye and she is going to get sucked out (as I call it). Well, if you think about it they really are going to take a vacuum of sorts and suck out the clog so why not. They are going to suck out the blockage in the duct. There. Thats the short version.

Onto other things, Caleb and I are moving out of our house in town in 2 weeks!! AAHHHHH. I am very nervous. We will both be moving to his parents farm. I will be moving in with my future in laws and I hope its only for a couple of months while we get the building done! Don't get me wrong, I like Connie and Tim but I really like having a place of my own so this will definitely be a change thats for sure. I really need to like at this like a temporary home. Sorta like the carrie underwood song. This is not permanent but just interim for now. That makes me feel better and calms me down. I mean I will really only be there to sleep anyways. I have a lot going on with the wedding just those fine details and sorts.

Today is May Meeting at church and Homecoming. Caleb has had a blast this weekend. In case you don't know, the North Georgia Softball team is 47-0!!!! They are the #1 team in the nation right now. North Georgia got picked to host the Super Regional at our home field!! So, Caleb got hired by the college to run the video equipment for the NCAA website. They are broadcasting all of the softball games on the internet for all of the family and friends that couldn't come to the game. There are 3 cameras and Caleb is the one that gets to pick which angle is best for this shot and who got the better shot for that play. I know he is loving it!! It just lights up his face. Now, Friday night was a different story! North Georgia got the last game of the night on Friday night. They started at 7:30. A 2 and a half hour lightening delay later and they finally finished at midnight. Caleb then had to do the post game interviews and then come home and edit them so he could put them out on the website. Whew! He finally went to bed at 2 am. That was a long day. Yesterday, Saturday, He got there around 10 am games starting at 2:30 and North Georgia had the first game and then WON!! So, now they will advance to the championships. Well the other two games got rained out. i haven't seen that bad of a storm during the day in Dahlonega in a really long time. The wind blew tents over and the rain soaked the field. So yesterdays games will be played this morning and then the championship will be played at 3. If all of the rain holds out. I think its 75% though so I am not sure we will get all of them in or not? GOOO SAINTS!!!

I could really see Caleb in a job similar to what he is doing this weekend. He is the kind that likes to have his own idea and work somewhat independently. He loves baseball and technology and this is kinda combining the two. I know the lord has a plan and I will stay out of it for now.

Have a great Sunday!
