OH MY GOODNESS!

So I had a oh my goodness moment just a minute ago. I know in my head that we are moving in 9 days. But we were talking about the rest of Branch's schedule and this is how it went mostly.

Me: So what is your schedule like this week?
Branch: Well on Friday I take my first final...yadda, yadda, yadda...so today was the last day of "learning" I had.
M:No you still have a week of learning then you have finals.
B: No, I start my finals on Friday then my last day of Finals is Wednesday.
M:No, you have another week! Today is the 28th, your last final is the 6th
B: Yeah, next Wednesday!
M: No, you have another learning week!
B: Let me show you on a calender
--gets out cell phone, shows me
See, final on 1st, last one on the 6th
M: No...eyes really wide... HOLY CRAP!
B: You leave next Thursday!
M: HOLY CRAP!

So, yes I knew we are moving soon but that was seriously a moment there that kind of freaked me out because it made it more serious. In fact, Little Miss and I just went to Branch's Senior Paper Presentation. Tera and I and the kiddos stayed for Allens and Branchs and then we high tailed it out of there.

We went to El Finex, a really good Mexican restaurant here, and waited for the Boys. I thought it was appropriate that we went to this restaurant. It was the first restaurant that we went to when I moved down here with Branch's class and now it is probably the last restaurant we will go to with Branch's classmate. It is so weird, I never thought I would miss Dallas, but I am going to. I really am.

Restaurant.com

I follow a blog called Krazy Coupon Lady and she has an awesome post today about RESTAURANT.COM. They post a lot everyday so you might have to scroll down.

Restaurant.com is having an 80% off sale! For a $25 gift card, originally $10, you can get it for $2! I just bought $65 worth of gift cards, that would originally cost $22 but with the 80% off I saved $17.60. My total for $65---$4.40---

Go! Go now!

Pictures and more pictures

I have been told that I need to post pictures and it is true. Sorry I have been sucky about posting it just has been really crazy around here with moving and everything. Branch also has a blog and he tends to post all the good pictures before I do. But I will post more later I promise Julie! And these are a little random. Sorry.

I had LASIK this Wednesday. The school offered a REALLY good deal that we couldn't
pass up so this is the last picture of me blind.

This is the picture of me after surgery.
Very sexy.
But hey I can see now. And that is cool.

Little Miss playing with Daddy. She kept honking his nose.
So cute!
Little Miss recently had herfirst birthday and her first birthday cake.
She loves chocolate

Smart girl. Little genius. She gets it from me I think.

Playing with her plastic doggy she pulls on a string.
She loves carrying him around too.

She sat down in a basket today and got stuck.
It was hilarious.
I could have helped her out but I just laughed and took a picture.

The next three pictures of of Little Miss in bluebonnets. Blue Bonnets are the Texas State Flower and apparently it is against the law to have Little Miss born in Texas and not have her picture in the Blue Bonnets. I didn't want to mess with no Texas law so we did before we left.

They turned out cute so it was ok.

Ok. So there I posted some pictures. Happy now? I am.

Little Miss update...

I can't believe it has been a year since Little Miss came into our lives. She has really changed our lives for the better. Check out Branch's blog to see her cute birthday video and pictures of her in the bluebonnets. So cute!

Here is an update on her. Sorry if it sounds like I am bragging...which I am a little bit...I'm her mom I can't help it.

*Has been walking since 9 1/2 months.

*She has a large vocabulary (Momma, Mom, mommy, dada, daddy, dad, ducky, kitty, doggy, puppy, no, yeah! why? What?, boon (balloon), ball, nanana (banana and food in general), baba (bottle), cookie, doctor, "jews" (for juice and shoes, though it is getting better), tickle, WOW!, Hi, bye-bye, yummy, stinky, thank you. She is starting to pick up a lot of words that I can't even keep up with it!

*Really friendly and can play with the big kids.

*HATES sitting still, when in stroller she leans forward, wants to get out. She is always pointing at something, saying WOW!

*Has a courtesy laugh. When Branch and I are talking and laughing or if there is a laugh on the tv or radio she will laugh with it, or if we aren't paying attention to her she will laugh, thus bringing the attention back to where it should be.

*Can't wait to get her own room. This sleeping in the dining room stinks to high heavens.

*After moving to Utah she will Get to see cousin E a lot more and grandmas and grandpas. She won't know what to do with herself.

*Recognizes pictures of her grandmas. She even calls them "Mama!" and kisses the pictures. Calls grandpas "Poppys".

*LOVES powdered donuts and anything we are eating.

*Gets into everything!

By the way, I am getting Lasiks this Wednesday. I am starting to get a little nervous so pray for me please!

1 Year OLD!

*********Pictures to come later. Sorry!*********

Happy Happy Birthday Little Miss Dear!
Happy Days will come to you all year.
If I had a wish, then it would be...
A Happy Happy Birthday from Us to YOU!

Little Miss, we were so excited to learn you were coming into our lives. When you made it here, we knew our lives would never be the same, for the better. You have brought so much love into our lives, so much happiness, and even some tears. We love you SO MUCH and we are so excited for all the years to come.

WE LOVE YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!

Free Stuff!

I love free stuff. Free food tastes better. Free entertainment is more entertaining. Free cloths fit better. I even had a free nights stay in a $100 plus hotel room once and I slept better. Ok that last one was a lie. Anyway, I follow this website called Walletpop and they have a fabulous section called Fantastic Freebies. Most of the freebies you have to fill out information like addresses and phone numbers for companies to send samples so I don't do those ones but they have a really cool one today.

*Toys R Us. Saturday 12-2. Free gifts and fun activities for the kiddos.
*The Home Depot. Saturday 9-Noon. Learn to make a free birdhouse.
*Michaels. Don't know 'cause it won't show me!

**The coolest one is that you can download 120 full length songs for free from the Megabloks site. Click here to get to the site. I haven't done it yet but will as soon as banch gets home. I am so excited! Do you think free music will be sweeter to listen too?
