updates.

Hello blog-land.   I have many updates, grab a cup of joe and a chair.  Stay a while. 

1.  Adam:  You may remember that my brother-in-law, Trey's little brother, was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago.  This morning Adam, along with Trey and their mom, headed to

 Jackson so Adam could receive Chemo.  I just got a text from Trey and they are still waiting - which is torture, I am sure.  He will be undergoing intensive chemotherapy, which I am told is basically like several rounds of chemo at once.  Hopefully this will be his only round of chemo.  He will be sick for a while, as you can imagine, and was pretty nervous when I saw him around 6:30 this morning.  So, please, keep him in your prayers.  We are told this month could be rough for him. 

Trey and Adam.

2. House: We are in our new (old) house!  We LOVE it!  As you may recall, we lost the new construction home right before closing due to lies by the seller, etc... Well, now we are

 convinced that while that was a totally stressful time, it was divine intervention!  We love our old house in the historical district.  The neighbors are so fabulous.  Our big living room window over looks Mr. and Mrs. Clark.  He is a retired Marine and to say that his yard is immaculate would be an understatement.  It is perfect. We are convinced that he cuts it with scissors while we are at work.  There is something to be said to be surrounded by fabulous neighbors.  Maybe it's because our last home had some rentals on the street and people would come and go.  This neighborhood is full of every type of person!  Young, old, single, retired, families, etc.  I love it.  Our next door neighbor is an adorable family with three young children.  She is a stay at home mom, so I am eager to become fast friends.  I am hoping she can watch Sophie a few days a week.  I think she needs to socialize a little more.  I will let you know how that goes.  For real, I am so happy here and love that people are at home during the day around my house! Again, maybe this is because we were robbed at our last home while we were at work.  More pictures coming soon.  We are still in the long process of moving in, painting, updating appliances, etc. But it is all coming together. I am ready to decorate.

Our back deck with fabulous yard.  We spend a lot of time here.  It is much bigger than this picture shows. Come on over.  We will bar-b-q.

3. Sophie: Sophie loves the new house.  I think this is because the downstairs (really

 just downstair. singular. one stair) den has french doors in it.  She sits on top of the couch all day everyday and just looks out the windows.  While the cute little mailbox on the front porch is one of my favorite parts of the house, Sophie on the other hand, hates this aspect. The mail woman walks in front of the window to the front porch to deliver the mail.  Sophie finds this very disturbing and is eager to show her disgust at the mail lady.  I am hoping this is a passing

 phase and she will grow to love the charm of it all.  In the meantime, I am sure our mail lady hates coming to our home each day. 

Sophie, love her new yard. 

4. Seaside: In exactly one week, my family is heading to Seaside.  I can not wait.  Mama, Daddy, LT, Kris, Rob, Henry, Trey and me. We have never done this!  I am thrilled.  I need a little vacay.  We all need a little vacay.  I plan on doing nothing but playing with Henry on the

 beach, drinking fruity concoctions, reading, eating and sleeping.  Please, do not call me.  I will

 not answer.  

5. P90X: Are you familiar? Trey and I decided a few weeks ago that we are so over "i am happily married and satisfied with the weight I have put on since then" look and ordered this

 extreme workout video.  And when I say extreme, I mean it.  We had to buy equipment and everything.  You do it everyday for an hour to an hour and a half for 90 days.  We are on day 11

 and I am not kidding when I say I can see a difference in both of us.  Trey said if he knew how bad it would hurt the first week he would not have committed to it.  I tend to agree.  But it is so worth it.  I can't wait to see how fit we are after 90 days! Watch out, Jillian and Bob.  Trey and Heather are bringing it.

6. Baby love: I finally was able to meet Leyton, chunk-of-love, Knight. I love him.  However, I am pretty sure the sequence of pictures pretty much sums up his thoughts towards his first meeting of Aunt Heather. No worries, Leyton.  I am sure our bonding session will go much better at our next meeting.  Nan, it was fabulous seeing you and Jeremy. Finally. Long time coming. Please, for the sake of my husband's well-being, move a little closer to us.
