From spiders to snakes, from baby shower to babysitting

Last time I mentioned finding a spider, well a couple days ago we found a snake!  Luckily he wasn't under the bed.  FB and I had just gotten home from shopping, both with arms full w/ sacks.  He was stepping out of our garage when I saw a ginormous black snake laying across the threshold of the garage door.  Right under FB's feet, I of course scream.  This sends FB flying, then I was shut inside the garage alone, with no way out!  I'm a little panicky at this point, thankfully FB was a little calmer now that he realized it was just a snake.  He calmly told me to open the big garage door.  This provided me a way out, and provided FB a way in so he could take care of the snake!  I'm so not a fan of the country life right now!  Spiders, snakes... what's next??

I got the shower invitations in the mail Monday.  Now all that's left is food, drinks, and decorations... OK wow I've got a lot to do.  I am babysitting all day today and tomorrow.  I was a little nervous that the lil' guy would be cranky or hard to keep happy or any other number of problems.  Luckily day one's almost complete and no major catastrophes.  He's refusing to sleep in his basinet, but he's sleeping just fine with me.  Probably not exactly what his mama would prefer, she's all about the schedule.  Anyway, we're having fun, and I believe it's almost time for a bottle.  So I'll end this blog, and see you again soon.

Oh... My... I really miss the interwebs

Random wedding pic, because I feel like it

I can't believe how long it's been!  I miss checking in on everyone's blogs, facebooking, and emails!  When school starts it should be better, at least I can check emails everyday.  I'm w/ FB at his school today, so I can blog.  But his school blocks facebook and my email.  I'm hostessing a baby shower for my sister-in-law.  Looking forward to that!  I really don't have much new, summer's pretty uneventful in the FB house.  We found a tarantula under the bed.  FB was in the bedroom and said, "Wow, that's big."  He didn't get overly excited or yell or even act that surprised.  I walked around the corner to see what it was, and jumped out of my skin!  It was not just any spider, it really was a tarantula.  FB was taking way too long to squash the thing, but as he pointed out later a flip flop wouldn't have killed the sucker.  Then he thought I'd clean it off the floor... he was sorely mistaken!  Anyway, today we're going into town and investing in some bug killer for around the house.
Our house finally looks put together, there's very few things that haven't found a home yet.  I plan to get that finished up and thank you notes done before school starts.  I have to go back on the 23rd.  I'm really looking forward to having a schedule again.  And see people other than FB on a regular basis.  OK, I think that's all I've got for now.  Hope you're all doing well, stick with me.  I'll start blogging more once school starts and I can have some internet time.

It's official....I'm an aunt...again

I am happy to announce the birth of my adorable nephew.  I hadn't mentioned this baby before, because he wasn't officially ours until 48 hours after his birth.  My brother and his wife have excitedly waited the arrival of this little guy, so they could adopt him.  I can't go into much detail about the situation that brought him into our lives, but I can say he's healthy and precious!  He went home w/ my brother and sister in law Saturday night, and I went over there as soon as I could Sunday. :)  He's 5 lbs. and 19 inches.  When we left Farmboy's first words to me were, ya know... we've got to wait a year or two right?  Yes dear, I know we have to wait, but a girl can dream!  Now I need to get busy and throw a baby shower!!  Any good ideas?  All you moms, let me know what was something that you really enjoyed or appreciated at your baby showers??

Internet deprived :(

So we went shopping for internet a week ago, and turns out there are zero good options for our area. :(  We live too far out of town.  We can either pay way too much money for satellite internet including a $400 install cost.  This comes with a sweet benefit of download and upload limits, so I can surf in fear of extra charges.  Needless to say we didn't go with that option.  There's a new company in town and they're just barely out of our area, so we're hoping they'll expand our way quickly.  While we wait I feel very deprived.  I miss reading everyone's blogs.  I've also been threatened by Glam Newlywed that if she doesn't see some wedding pics, she plans on injuring me.  So my plan is to come to work with Farmboy or go to my parents and steal internet from others.  I do plan on posting wedding pictures next time I blog, but today I'm blogging from FB's work computer.  


In other news we booked our honeymoon today.  We're going to Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  We don't have much planned other than relaxing.  FB did book a carriage ride, which I'm really looking forward to.  We're going to leave Thursday, so I'll have to tell you all about that when we get back. 


It's been storming a lot lately, and Holly's not a fan of bad weather.  The first night she peed on the floor, then pooped in the corner later that morning.  Last night we had a better night.  She woke me up twice, but at least she didn't refuse to go out in the rain this time.  That dog has gotten more spoiled now that all her toys are unpacked and we're both around more.  The month I was at summer school, FB was off.  Now he's back at work and I'm off.  When August comes and she's in her crate all day, it'll be a rude awakening for her.  Which probably means she'll make us pay in some way or another.  She is really funny outside since she's got more room to run, somehow she still finds a shady spot to wait on us.


OK I suppose this blog has gotten long enough.  I'm helping out at FB's blood drive today, so maybe I should ya know... help in some way.  Have a great weekend, hopefully I'll check in again soon.

Wedding Pictures are here!!

We got our wedding CD this week.  So happy with all of the pictures.  We also have our official license, so I can get my name changed.  Excited to get the name changed, not looking forward to the process of changing the name.  We're at the lake this weekend with my aunt and uncle and my parents.  Had a great time with Farmboy's best man and his wife.  Hope yall are having a great summer, 3 more days of summer school!
