This four day weekend I discovered...
-I love the show 'Flip That House'. It makes me want to use all my creative juices.
-For the first time since about eighth or ninth grade, it is almost June and I am not tan at all.
-You just can NOT speak patience into existence.
-I have a terrible memory.
-I like having people over to our house.
-I miss Jeffy's family a lot!
-If I want to use the new golf clubs I got for Christmas, I'm going to have to make a plan to go golfing myself instead of waiting for my husband to take me.
-Afternoon naps are great, and boy, have I missed them!!!

Random
1. I really want to see the new movies Knight and Day and Killers! They look so funny!
2. I'm so disgusted with Starbucks. (<-- This doesn't happen often. They put creamer in my coffee when I said, "NO creamer please." Don't they know milk anything makes me so sick lately? They should! I go there at least 4 times a week!)
3. Curtis Payne is one of my most favorite TV characters. He just makes me laugh really hard!
4. I started reading a Beth Moore book, and I can hear every word I'm reading in her voice.
5. I'm also reading CrazyLove, and the way it defines stress and worry really got to me. I'm so thankful for the way God speaks to us through all of His people.
6. I don't know why, but I love that movie Avatar!!
7. And I again I don't know why, but God gave me the BEST husband ever!! Tuesday, he made me feel like I was the most important person who ever walked the planet. He got off work early and brought me breakfast in bed. Then, after I got ready, we went to Springdale to get my new car!!!! ( Its a white 2006 nissan altima! I love it! ) After we got the car, we went down to Fayetteville so we could eat at Qdoba!! It's my favorite!! After Qdoba, we came back to Rogers and went to see Iron Man 2! After Iron Man 2, he took me shopping at Old Navy and Belk. Then after shopping, he took me to get ice cream. When we got home from getting ice cream, my momma was here waiting for a ride in my new car! So I took her for a ride and when we got back, the three of us went to Lifeway then TJ Maxx. And then went to dinner at Red Robin! Yummm! While we were at Red Robin, Jeff got a phone call reminding him of his softball games for the night, he had forgotten about! So my mom and I got to spend some time together, just the two of us! It was such a great day!!!!

Oh the tears...
So for the past year and a half, because of my many health problems I have had an IUD. Although most doctors don't recommend it for women who haven't had children yet, my doctor felt it would benefit me. And it did! However, Jeffy and I have decided we want to start our family. So a few weeks ago, I had it removed. This was the first time in over 5 years I have been off of birth control... I had no idea what this really meant.
I think I had forgotten supersonic speed mood swings, back pains, cramps and all the other wonderful things that accompany mother nature's monthly gift to women. I think I have cried more in the past month than I have in the past two years combined. During the season finale of Grey's, my husband had to pause the show to remind me these people weren't real. (Although, I heard this particular episode had the same effect on people who were not experiencing the same things I am.) I think I may have cried so much for no reason, it may have rubbed off on my four year old niece. After spending the morning around me on Saturday, she had a bad afternoon where she cried for a good thirty minutes. After a while, my older sister asked her why she was crying. To which she responded, "I don't know, mom. I just need a hug." Oopsie.
Today the tears got to be so much, my precious husband (who tends to be extremely patient with me) actually threatened to take me back to the doctor to get the IUD put back in.
All of this to say, pray for those around me. It may be a long nine months (plus however long it takes to get to those nine months!) for all the loving people who so graciously surround me!

Murder at 1600
This specific blog has been a long time coming, but I thought it only fair to wait until the wrong had been made right before I wrote about it...
A few weeks after my precious husband proposed to me, he bought me an iPhone. He said he knew I would be on his cell plan eventually anyway, so one weekend he bought it for me. For anyone who knows my history with cell phones, they also know this was a very brave purchase on Jeffy's part. Once I actually flushed an entire cell phone down the toilet. That's right. Not just dropped it in the toilet, but actually flushed it! So having an iPhone was a very big deal to me!
I knew I was going to have to be more careful than I ever dreamed with this phone. And I did so good! I had the phone for a year and a half before I ever had any catastrophe with it! Within two weeks of having an iPhone, I (like most people who own one) became so dependent on it. I had no idea how much I actually used it for. One Sunday afternoon, I had to go to the grocery store to pick up some things for dinner. When I got home, I hopped out of the car. Until I heard it hit the ground, I had forgotten I put my phone in my lap when I sat down. When I picked the phone up off of the garage floor, my heart jumped right up into my throat. The bottom left corner of the phone was shattered.
I hadn't felt that feeling in such a long time. It was the feeling I would get as a teenager when I knew I was caught, and I was just waiting to see how severe the sentencing would be. When I came in Jeffy was asleep. So I woke him just enough to say, "I have something to tell you. Do you want to know now or when you wake up?"
As he rolled over, he grunted, "What?"
So I told him what happened. He simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "It isn't my phone."
So like any girl, I crawled in bed to ball my eyes out. After he realized how upset I was, he rolled over and comforted me. We analyzed the phone and realized we could put a screen cover over it, and it would work until my upgrade in April. It was only the bottom so it didn't mess up much of the screen. So we just put a screen protector over it, and it worked fine. I was just glad I still had a working iPhone. I could handle the bottom of the screen being messed up for a couple more months.
Even though I could handle the bottom of the screen being messed up, apparently, Jeffy couldn’t. The following Wednesday, he informed me he had bought the parts to fix the phone off of ebay. I quickly released the nagging wife inside of me and demanded he cancel the order. He told me he wanted to fix it so when I did get my new phone we could sell the ‘broken but fixed’ one. I told him it was unnecessary and to cancel the order and quickly changed the subject.
The following Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday. We had offered to host our Sunday school class Super Bowl watch party, so I was cleaning house when Jeffy came in from work. As he walked in, he was grinning from ear to ear. He had received the parts I asked him not to order in to fix my phone. So I grunted and mumbled while handing over the phone for what he assured me ‘wouldn’t take that long because there was an instructional video on you-tube’. Great. Just great. But at this point, what could I do other than finish cleaning house and cooking?
The next two to three hours consisted of mumbled grunting under his breath. With every “crap” and “oh no”, the tone of his voice got angrier than the one before. Because we would have company in our house soon, I tried not to focus on anything he was saying or doing. Unfortunately, I was unable to avoid it much longer. I was just about to sit down, when I saw him grab his keys and storm out of the house. I could tell he was upset, so I decided I would leave him alone and call him in a few minutes to see what he was doing. It took me all of five seconds to realize I would not be calling him, because he had MY phone!
About twenty minutes later, he comes in with a twenty dollar go phone the size of a twinkie. For a person with a temper as outrageous as mine, I handled the next thirty minutes very well. Our conversation went a little something like this…
“What is that!?” I asked him.
“A phone for you to use until your upgrade!”
“JIGGA WHAT?!?!”
“Well, the video wasn’t very clear on which parts to pry apart!”
As he began to get the fireplace ready to start a fire before company arrived, he was still complaining and moaning. I quickly informed him there were only two things he could do with this situation.
1.Get over it! You still have YOUR iPhone and I am the one with the microscopic cell phone! Company would be arriving soon, so GET GLAD!
2.When your wife tells you to do something or in this case, NOT to do something, FOLLOW HER INSTRUCTIONS!
So since Super Bowl Sunday, I have been pestering my husband about murdering my iPhone. And in all honesty, I may nag him about it for the rest of our lives. But I feel it is only fair for me to post this story now since I now have an iPhone in my possession! Oh happy day!
