Next?

This weekend was lazy yet busy for me and Rick.. After feeling like I was (literally) dying Thursday and Friday, I somehow managed to drive myself to Cleveland on Friday evening after work to see Rickey. We didnt do a SINGLE thing Friday night other than watch movies and eat take out, with a side of cold medicine for me. We were both so exhausted from the week and that we passed out at 9:30. Man, we must be getting old! Saturday morning we had to get up and take Abner to the vet to get some meds and Rickey had to go work on the baseball field. I dont care what any other coach says about thier sport, but there isnt a sport that works as hard during the off season as baseball coaches do! Rickey spends 6 out of the 7 days of the week working on the field and making sure its being tended to. He loves it though, and I think that its his release. After he got home, we managed to load ourselves into the truck as well as a huge trailor that we borrowed from Coach Batts (Rickey's coaching friend from Delta State) and we headed to Water Valley to pick up the new furniture that my mom bought us for the new house. This was our "early" Christmas present so needless to say we were so excited. It took us about 3 hours to get to WV, load up the furniture, and drive it back to Cleveland. Once we got home, it took us about 3 MORE hours to get the furniture into the house since none of it would fit through the door! Rickey and Michael Neimann had to literally take all the furniture apart to get it inside and then we put it back together. Aside from the trouble, the living room area looks FANTASTIC and I cannot wait to get the rest of our furniture in. Sat night we were exhausted and just hung out around the house. Our weekends have always been our time to be lazy, but here lately, when we get a second to SLOWWWWW DOWNNN, we definately do that. Sunday we slept late and had Mexican for lunch. We tried to shop around the antique shops for furniture ideas but everything in Cleveland was closed. We headed to some other stores and got great ideas of how we would like to decorate our very first Christmas tree together. I never in a million years thought that Rickey would get into this and be so excited but we were both JACKED when we started picking out ornaments and setting color schemes. We hung out and watched football for the rest of the day. Rickey had to leave to go tend to the baseball players at weights so I hung out and got together our list for things in the next few weeks.. Holidays are going to be awesome and we cannot wait! Between Thanksgiving in Texas and Denham Springs, to finals, to moving into the new house, then Christmas party time with my family in Memphis, Oxford, and Christmas Day with the Nolands- I CANNOT WAIT! YAY! I will post pics of the house as soon as we get everything moved and organized in the next few weeks..

On a side note, I just want to say that Rickey has officially sent in his paperwork for graduation and declared his Masters in Special Education. I am SOOOOO PROUD of him. It takes such a strong, strong person to be able to work with special needs students and he excels with this beautifully. His precious heart is just one among the millions of reasons that i love him.

More to come later... SLEEEEEPPPPPPPYYYYYYYY TIME.
