Baseball, weddings and cajas de cartón

What a fun week!!

We finally made it to our first baseball game of the season. We went to support our local Mudcats team with the whole fam. It was a late game so it wasn't so hot and sticky, perfect weather! We really hope to get to a Durham Bulls game too. Maybe soon.

Yesterday was the first wedding of the season. It was hot but still a very nice wedding and thankfully it was indoors! I loveeee weddings! I again forgot the camera, so no pics of us all dressed up!

Cardboard boxes are everywhere! They are lining every wall in our apartment now. YAY!

Friday we are headed to Atlanta to see family for the 4th! I haven't been down there in a couple of years so I'm super excited! We hope everyone else has a fun and safe and Happy Independence Day!!

I'm done!

No, not with packing ;)

With Jon and Kate Plus 8. I'm done. I'm no longer a fan.

This is a blog about my life, and sadly the Gosselin family was a part of my life every Monday night at 9pm. I fell in love with that family four years ago, right from the start. I love big families and those kids are totally adorable.

Their life is a tragedy. They have lost their family, their friends and ultimately their marriage. Fame and fortune took over and turned them into two different people. I was truly about in tears watching the show last night. It was horrible.

Obviously if any of you have seen the tabloids, there is plenty of blame to go around. However, I am most disappointed in Kate. She treated her husband like the ninth child, she degraded him and constantly yelled at him until he gave in to her every wish. He had finally had enough, and while I don't condone what he did, I'm not surprised. Jon himself said last night that he had been too passive and let her rule the roost and do whatever she wanted. Jon wanted to quit the show at the end of last season and Kate said no way. She loves the popularity and the money. I truly believe that Kate should have enough respect for her husband and poor children to have quit the show. Jon hates being on the show and all the attention that it brings. How can a loving wife and mother over look that. Kate said that hopefully their divorce is for the better and that it will bring peace to the family. yeah. right. In my opinion, they have ruined not only their own lives but the lives of those poor innocent children. How terribly sad.

So, I am no longer a fan of Jon and Kate Plus 8. I refuse to watch any more of their shows. I can't support what they have done to themselves and their family. Yes, divorce happens. I get that. But it makes it that much worse to watch it all play out in a real family on TV and see how totally preventable it was for Jon and Kate. What a shame.

Enough with the depressing stuff already! Good grief!

Happy Father's Day a little late! We had a great day spending time with some of the daddies in our life. Mine of course, being the best Dad around!

We are 24 days away from closing on our house! I'm running around packing like crazy. I'm pretty sure we are not going to miss this place AT ALL! ...expect maybe the pool and the gym and our friends being so close :)

Have a great week everyone!

HOT weekend!!

It was definitely a hot weekend in NC, not usually this bad until July. It was still is great weekend to be at Race for the Cure in Raleigh. My Mom, sisters and I along with about 12,000 other people participated in the breast cancer event. This was my first time there and it was quite an awesome experience, I intend to be there every year from now on. All of the survivors had a special pink t-shirt they got to wear and it was so neat seeing so many of them. We didn't get to stay for the whole day because we were so hot but we did participate in the One Mile Fun Run. Next year my goal is to step it up and do the Women's 5K. We'll see how that goes :)

and... Happy Birthday to my Momma!!!! She is such a special lady and I greatly enjoyed spending the weekend with her. I hope you had a great birthday weekend Mom, I love you!!


5 weeks left til we move!! The boxes are starting to pile up now! YAY!

6 weeks and counting...

...til we move!! We are getting SOOO excited. I've already started packing too. Some of our friends just moved and they had over 50 brand new boxes they didn't use so they gave them to us. Very cool. We are ready to get in that house and start painting and making it our own.

So we are moving to a town called Fuquay-Varina, (people around here just say Fuquay) ....btw it is pronounced “FEW-quay vuh-REE-nah" It's about 15 minutes from where we currently live. It's a cute, but happening little country town with easy access to the city. I'm definitely not a city girl so I love it! And they have a super Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Chick-fil-A, so we're good. We are just a couple of minutes away from down town Fuquay which we are very happy about. They have some awesome stores and restaurants that I adore. Most of all I love Fuquay because the people in general are so nice! Unlike Cary aka "Relocated Yankeeville" where the people can be quite rude and everything cost too much. I know we are going to really enjoy our new town... if we can ever get there!

We also had a very fun weekend. Friday night we had a social with our Newly-Married class from church. We had homemade ice cream... my fav. Then Saturday morning, Kyle ran in Fuquay's "Run the Quay" 5K challenge. He did awesome and like the wonderful wife I am, I forgot the camera. So I'm stealing some pics from other people.
