Catching Up/New York

 

I feel like I am always playing catch up on here. lol

 

The past few weeks have gone by fast and furious. Football season is always like that. So I decided not to go to the App State vs. Western Carolina game today and use the day to catch up as I have to make a diaper cake and cookies on sticks for my sister's baby shower in Atlanta next weekend and I spent the last weekend with my best friend in New York. Wheew!

 

 

 

This was Jake at the park, we hit up a consignment sale in Granite Falls and then played afterwards a few weeks ago.

 

At the pumpkin patch. I would have added more pictures but I just figured out how to do an iphone photo dump. :)

 

So my trip to New York! I was able to have a fabulous (almost free) trip to New York thanks to my best friend who is working on a contract basis up there. She was so sweet to have us stay in the W in Lower Manhattan. It was a GREAT expereince to just be able to relax, laugh and have fun with someone who "gets me". I needed this.

 

Above this is Mandy and I at teh subway at 3 am. I didn't land until 12 midnight and it took awhile to

get from Lower Manhattan to JFK on the subway.  

 

My first NY Pizza expereince at 4am.

The trip was defiently in my bucket list and due to her paying for the hotel and metro it made it affordable. A trip to remember!

 

In another note just for the record. I went to Wake Forest with my mom this past Wednesday. Great news from the heart doctor that I am for all tense and purposes healed. He wants me to stay on the heart meds because I am still just below normal (EF being 55-65% and I am 50-54%)

But he gave me hope saying there was a very good chance I would have a fine pregnancy if I tried again in the near future. This is great news, just to have the CHOICE. I don't have to go back for a year which is a blessing, if it is still strong then maybe I will entertain the idea. Jake says he wants me to wait until he is at least 5. LOL.

 

Jake is doing great at Pre-K. He LOVES apples, especially golden delicious. He loves Super Heros and legos and cars.

 

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of my newest nephew Brooks. Christie is  34 weeks pregnant so he should be arriving just after Thanksgiving. Can't wait!

If you really knew me.....

I am linking up with my grad school friend Lynsey to a neat post of

"If you really knew me...."

If you really knew me you would know:

I do not like things that are white and creamy; that includes yogurt, sour cream, cool whip, soft white cheeses and I could go on and on

I love football, esp. the Steelers, the Georgia Bulldawgs and University of Pittsburgh (even though I never went there)

I worry about everything, I am very analytical.

I love to give gifts, that is my love language.

I believe you can never have too many friends and I hate to exclude people and although I move a decent amount I try really hard to stay connected to my friends from college

I say "bolth" instead of both and "un-k" instead of ok

I have had 7 surgeries

I have no sense of smell and to my knowledge never have

when i laugh most of the time its so hard I cry

I have a problem of keeping a straight face when I am uncomfortable and laugh in some of the most serious situations

I am very sensitive and I wear my heart of my sleeve

If I could do something else it would probley work for Dave Ramsey or be a financial planner, many of my family members say I am good at it

I really like coupons and hate when I miss out on using one; I hate buying things at full price.

Thanks for reading!
