SOLD!! To the highest bidder!

Here we go!! Our home is as good as sold! Last night it became a done deal. The new owners are coming over this afternoon and we're signing contracts, picking a closing date and a moving date. I certainly gasped when H (aka Handsome, Hubby Hunter) told the new owners we could be out by May 1st! Well, H, there is a slight problem with that! WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO MOVE INTO TO!! After we did a happy dance with Oscar, our plan of action goes something like this:

• Monday, meet with builders. We have found THE PERFECT house plan for us! It is one that we can grow with and it meets my demands (a dining room and a screened in small back porch). The porch is a big deal for me. I really want a place of refuge from all of the stress we are coming out of and about to go into. Plus, how neat would it be to take a Sunday nap in a screened in porch with our pretty much dry-rotted hammock we bought on our honeymoon??
• If we choose not to build, the home that we originally put an offer on and the lady came off the price by just $1,000, well she has met our asking price now. So, that is now back in the running.
• If we choose to build, we will have to do a rental home due to the fact the apartments in our new little home town are GOVERNMENT HOUSING!!
• Sweet H came home yesterday and was so proud to tell me that one of his co-workers offered up their farm house. Nope! I can't bring myself to do that. Even if it is free!! I can't do that when we can live in a brand new home for the price of what I paid in Starkville for my one bedroom apartment while I was attending MSU!! Did I mention new??

We will see what and how God will continue to provide! I hope God provides movers!! I have already summoned my sweet parents....I told my dad that he owes me that for being my dad! :)

Shower the Bride and Groom!

This past weekend, H and I attended a Couples Shower for Katie and Jeremie. And then on Sunday, another shower for the couple. Here are some of the pics from the wonderful weekend.

Translation on this picture:
I was showing KT the chocolate she had on her white dress. Well, come to find out, she and her future groom fed each other cake like they will on their wedding day! Apparently, the happy couple needs to practice before May 9th!! :)
I stood on this side to cover the chocolate cake!

All of the girls were dressed in summer dresses, and then the temp dropped! KT, thanks for letting me borrow he peacock jacket! :)

KT has the funniest expressions! Let me just share a few that crack me up!
A great time was had by all!

Mary's Spring Shower

Finally! Here are the pics from Mary's Spring Shower. You may remember me chatting about this. This is the shower where I had the stomach virus! YUP! The pics, food, flowers and cake turned out great!

Aren't the pics of the flowers gorgeous with the sky in the background??

Oh, I almost forgot.....my blueberry (aka blackberry) has finally died! It died last week. I am using my trusty old flip phone. I could not justify buying ANOTHER $200 phone just to switch when we move to Alabama. So, I'm old school again. If you need immediate response, don't email.....text or call.

WiLd WeEkEnD!

What a wild weekend we are recovering from! Let me tell you now....I am so glad that I am able to post this. The whole time the weekend was evolving, I was thinking of all of great and unbelievable stories I have to share! This stuff only happens to me......and Lindsey Boggan! :)



Well, let's start off the weekend showing our home on a lovely Friday afternoon. This would be great to any normal person. However, to me it was......well, heartbreaking again. If ever a reason I want a realtor....it is for showing my home. I want people to fall in love with my home, and when they don't I tend to take it personal. Welcome Weekend.



Saturday morning, I should be really excited! The three musketeers are reunited again (me, Katie and Mary)! I get to hang out with my bestest, go and have couples dinner with them, sit around our fire pit and chat about wedding planning for the girls......well, let me set the stage for ya!



Katie and her fiance' Jeremie arrive and Katie is still sick with flu! The flu! While Katie and Jeremie were traveling to Starkville, I started feeling sick. By the time they made it to Starkville.....I had diagnosed myself with a stomach virus! Meanwhile, Katie and I are throwing a shower for Mary! I tried to hold it together for a while.....and then I threw etiquette and good hosting skills out the door! In a slightly joking conversation with a sweet girl attending the shower, she says: Meg, you need to go and take a nap! Trying to be funny and serious at the same time, I replied: Well, if ya'll would leave I would nose dive in my bed!



At 6:30, I take a turn for the worse. If you know me, you know that I do not like going to the doctor. I generally can diagnose myself and keep on going. I have a few home-remedies that I almost use weekly (if I have a headache, drink coffee; if my throat hurts, drink hot tea or start eating cough drops like candy). By 6:32, I was BEGGING Hunter to take me to the ER!! I probably didn't really HAVE to go to the ER, a normal doctor would have worked just fine, but the issue was that it was Saturday night at 6:30- there are no available doctors other than the ER. I was in desperate need of medicine and wanted to RUN into the ER for it!! So, off we go...I will give OCH 2 stars on getting me in to see the doctor quickly. I don't know if it is due to them wanting to just get me out of their waiting room or what? Hunter had to talk with the patient check in clerk because I was too sick t00!
2 IV bags, 1 large syringe of medicine and 2 pills later.....I am feeling good! Feeling so good that I told the nurse who was starting another iv in my other arm that if she didn't hurry that I was going to take the rubber band around my arm off and pop her on the forehead with it!! Apparently everyone laughed. I think I was serious!

The doctor released us a couple of hours later and I have been 100% ever since! I don't know what was the worse......actually having a virus that is comparable to food poisoning.....or having 2 iv bags that make you shiver so much that your body hurts from shaking??

Changing the topic here...Hunter was the best nurse (beside my mom) that I have ever had! He held my hand, hair and helped tremendously with the party for Mary! What a great man!!

People rarely say they are glad their weekend is over, but I was so looking forward to Monday morning after all of this!!
