Well, here is an update:

I am exhausted! This has been a very busy week for the Jones'. After our trip to Alabama, we found a new home and we feel we are getting close to selling our home in Starkville. Let me just set the stage for ya.....On Monday, I was "happy." (please refer to the previous post to fully understand what "happy" means) Yep, you read it here first! I was so sick driving to Alabama....then on the way home. While we were there, I was strictly running off of adrenaline. I pretty much crawled in bed when we got home on Monday night. I was explaining this to Donna (Hunter's sweet mom)....and she said that she did this when they bought there 1st car. Cars do not get me. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with a car. A car is a drop in the bucket with a house. We can pay off a car much sooner than a house. However, it's not the whole money thing that gets me. With us, it's simple. Know your limit and stay under it. Done. Got it. What makes me "happy" is the process. Moving from my home that I FINALLY have where I want it, packing up our belongings, unpacking our belongings, redoing a home and pouring money into another home. That makes me "happy." Not to mention, this is where Chapter 2 begins. If I had to tell the truth, I think that is what really makes me "happy!" Can I tell ya that it's scary growing up? It's scary signing for a mortgage, it's scary buying life insurance on the person who you want to wake up beside everyday of your life, it's scary buying a new car, and it's really scary thinking that one day you will be responsible for children! Talk about pulling the blanket back over your head and not wanting to get out of bed!!

Neway, we did find a home! Offers will be made next week....more to come on that. I don't want to get to excited just yet, there are a lot of hurtles that need to be crossed before this is a done deal. However, we did show our home 4 times today! Yes!! 4 times in one day!! Thank you Lord! I have been praying that God will let our phone ring and people will want to at least see our house.....and what do ya know! God is so good! Now, I start praying off the wallpaper at our potential new house! YIKES!

For Sale!

It's official....we are selling our home! After much talk, prayer, consideration and pondering...we are selling our home. It's bittersweet because this is our 1st home. This is where we began.....however, it's a necessary evil for us to move. We need to be closer to Hunter's job.....so, here we go on this journey on trying to sell it! Some people have already told us that we are crazy to sell right now....however, we are in Starkville. A college town. A town that is always moving and selling. We are hoping to sell to a couple who wants to move out of a apartment, or a family who has a student in school here. Since we are selling by owner, we are not loosing any money if our home is on the market 3 weeks or 3 months. We are excited and nervous at all at the same time!

2 bedroom, 2 full bath, new kitchen cabinets, new flooring in the bathrooms, new bathroom cabinets, neutral paint throughout the house, large attic space, nice backyard with privacy fence

Honey Butter

This is a recipe that Paula Deen makes, however, it was Kristy Riley that put me on to this! I ABSOLUTELY love it and could even eat it without toast! (I know....it's sad b/c it's butter, but I LOVE it). I am sure there are exact measurements to this somewhere, but, I am just an "eyeball" girl. When it comes to cooking, I just eyeball all of my ingredients. I attribute this to my grandmother.....who fries bacon before she cooks her green beans, and still adds butter to it! YUMMIE!!!

Honey Butter
(3) heaping spoonfuls of butter out of the tub
(1) good squirt of honey, you can add more for taste
a couple of dashes of cinnamon

Then, just spread it over bread, french toast, pancakes, bagels and such....

Enjoy!!
(I made this yesterday, which is why it is fresh on my mind. Plus, I had 2 pieces of toast with it this morning....and yesterday morning! :)

Super Bowl Party!

Last night at the Jones residence, we hosted a super bowl party. There was more eating and talking going on than football watching. I know this is sad, but I didn't even know who was playing in the ballgame until yesterday!! I know!! It's sad.....Life has just been so busy! Plus....we have TiVo, so I just fast forward everything!

Here is a pic of Mackie and myself with our babies! :)

Too much partying for sweet Mackienzie!

Look at her jeans! She is 6 1/2 weeks old and wearing cute jeans!! Look at her cute ribbon belt!! LOVE IT!
