Bellatrix

*hodge podge of a post*

Here is a small list of a few of my favorite things that happened in the past month:

• Decorating the canoe with my dad for July 4th parade (even though it literally rained on our parade)
• Got my new white iphone 4
• Going to Fort Walton with the family July 6-10 (minus the part were Zach couldn't come)
• Zach let me get ANOTHER kitty! (she's presh, more on her later)
• Zach and our friend Bob cut down a ton of small trees from the front yard
• Saw the last Harry Potter movie
• Back to school shopping with Savannah

(sorry for all the cell phone pictures, havent carried my SLR around much lately besides at the beach, I'll include those pictures later!)

New Shoes!

Being men and cutting trees down with hand saws!

A ton more has gone on and happened but when your not typing everything out you forget quite a bit. Ive come to realize that's why I'm going to pick my blogging up again. So I can remember some of the smallest stuff that I'd otherwise forget about.

Something that's been going on that has been not so cool is Zach's dad is in the hospital. With out going into too much detail his dad has been fighting for his life and been in a coma for the past week and a half. It's a hard thing to see this big tuff man laying in this hospital bed fighting with everything he has to get better. And I'll be damned, the man woke up this morning! All of his organs have been slowly getting better. There is a long long road ahead of him, but I'm not sure if the doctors even thought he'd get to this point. I appreciate all of the prayers my friends and family have lifted up for him. God bless Ted Blalock! BUt continued prayer is with out a doubt still very much needed. Thank you.

In the past couple of weeks I've convinced my self that I'm really getting a lot done around the house (whether or not that is a true statement is still up for debate). Im still working on my picture frame wall when you first walk in the house but its coming along. I tell ya pinterest makes me feel very creative if I stay on that mindsuck website long enough!

Its no House of Smiths but it is a fine start for me :-) (again, sorry bout the cell phone pics)

Above is before I got started. Lie. I had already started but just barely and remembered at this point to take a picture.

It's a start right?! We can at least find all of our food now and not go "Doh'' 5 months after we buy something and its gone bad because it got lost in the shuffle. As my lovely mother so comfortingly put it "It looks like the husband from Sleeping with the Enemy visited your pantry" Great, because thats the house guest I want! I don't think its quite at that level, but for a unorganized gal like myself, its gooood.

Now that everyone is caught up on some of the details of my life the past month, I'll begin ( no really, i've set a few diffrent goals for myself, blogging more being one of them) my regularly scheduled posts :-) I've got a lot in my head and in my house that I'm ready to get out!

Oh and P.S. did you know that my parents are absolutly awesome and amazing?! Well you do now. I love them both so very much. They do so much for me and I'm so lucky and blessed. I wouldn't trade em for a billion dollars!
