Well, Thursday night we went to Fort Smith for dinner with my family at the country club for Grant's 21st birthday! (my brother) It was fun. My parents, Grant and his girlfriend Sara met us there. Then after a long dinner and catching up we went back to my parents house for cake (which was sooo yummy) and presents. It's hard to believe that Grant is 21. Well, it only makes sence, the older I get, the older he gets. Sad how quick time goes by.
Friday was a busy day at work and then basketball games at Shiloh that night. The varsity girls team is very good, but the guys are having a little trouble getting it together each game. They did play REALLY well even though, we lost by 1 point at the very end of the fourth quarter. Too many fouls, isnt that always the case though?
Saturday I worked the morning in Fayetteville and then that the afternoon I had to go back down to Fort Smith for a few cuts and about 4 girls that have been my clients forever. They are all in high school and it was the "homecoming dance." It was fun to watch how big of a deal it all was to them. Not too long ago, I was doing the same thing. Once again, time flies by. That evening when I got home D and I went and had a nice dinner date at Blu-fin (sushi) and then did a little shopping.
Sunday we went to church, taught our class of 2 year olds, which can I just say is always fun. THen had lunch with his family at Applebee's and the food was horrible!! Yes, I usually exaggerate on things being "sooo bad", but ya'll it was disgusting. Then I had to go to Wal-mart and D decided he'd join me, eventhough I complained and told him he didnt really have a choice. He's a pretty good trooper when it comes to all that, but he just doesn't organize it in the cart or put it on the checkout deal, like I would like him to. I know, I am anal! And for dinner, we ate at the Barnard's, the ones that just had baby TAte. Mckale has a few stores in Fort Smith and loves this restaurant there and they have food that they make that is gourmet and she LOVES their enchiadas. So, Thursday when I was in Fort Smith, I picked up some and she said they didnt want dinner brought to them unless we were going to stay and join them. That wasnt my plan, but it was nice to completely relax and love on yet, another baby. All my friends and cousins are having boys this year. Except one of my cousin's who had a girl the beginning of this month. We still have 3 friends that are due in March. Lots and lots of babies! So, all in all we had a busy but great weekend. Now we are all hunkered(not sure if that is even a word) down at home and hanging out. I didnt work in Fort SMith today because of weather, but I will on Thursday. I just didnt wanna be stuck down there without D. Especially when he is out of school tomorrow! Yippee, finally a "nothingness" day! Hope everyone had a great weekend and stay warm in all this yucky ice.
P.S. Sorry for no pictures, I am not at all as organized on here as I am at WAl-Mart, ha!
Until next time...

The "No Name Baby" is here!
So, I know that seems terrible of me to say, but our friends Tucker & Mckale finally had baby Tate Daniel yesterday morning bright and early. HE is so sweet and he weighed 7lbs 7oz. I didnt take a camera because I am not a "mom" with a camera ready to take pics all the time. I am sure I will be though. The main reason I said the "no name baby" is because basically up until the day he was born, there were a few options for names. Good choice guys! It really seemed to fit him last night when we were there. I wanted to post about the baby because we are so EXCITED for our new friends and this fabulous God given baby of joy. Congrats Barnard's and big brother Carter! (If you want to see a cute picture of Tate, read Kate's blog)
Definetly have the baby fever now...I kinda think D does too! WOOHOO! (much sooner than later I'm thinking, thanks to Tate)!

Happy 25th to me !
So, how about I can't believe I am 25. I am officially in my "mid-twenties." REally? are you kidding me right now? Wow, I know some of you will be like? OH, Courtney get over yourself. But, time totally flies by. (I know, completely cliche')
December was very busy. My birthday was the 12th and I was surprised with a new 2009 Honda Accord, black and everything I wanted for my bday from my WONDERFUL, AMAZING husband! He knew it was kind of needed, but definetly not a necessity. Well, here are some pics. They had it all wrapped up in a bow for me at the car place the day I went to pick it up. He definetly tried hard to surprise me, but ya know I had to trade in my other car and sign my name too so, it wasnt a complete surprise...ya know like drive up in the drive way and freak out kind of surprise.
Well, apparently I dont have those on my pc yet, so I will add the car pics later.
The weekend of my bday, was the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP game for Shiloh! They did so well. I am so proud to say that my husband is the Defensive Line coach there. It was an exciting week. Had lots of fun with the wives. We all went to lunch on that friday for my birthday and then a few of us went shopping for a bit. Well, those of us that aren't pregnant. It was alot of fun. I love everyones kids, but dont get me wrong I love some 'ADULT' time with the wives and definetly love the new friendships!
The game was exciting on that saturday. My family came up and after the game we went to eat with everyone at Cozy Mel's. It was good, who doesn't love some mexican?!
Here are a few pics from before&during the game. I will post some cute ones that a friend took of D and I after the game, whenever she gets it together! (ha, luv ya Blaire)
So, after the weekend of the championship game, we were asked by our friends and D's "boss" to go with them on that monday to Little Rock, again, for a banquet that would be honoring Josh (head coach) and one of D's defensive line man. Well, what an adventure it was! That day it was yuck up here so I didnt work in Fort Smith at all but, we took my car and left it in Alma so that when we came back I would be able to go to Fort Smith and do some hair, while they came back to NWA. So, Kate (Josh's wife) and I were so excited because we knew the weather was bad and we would be able to spend one night and eat breakfast and come home without kids. Well, thats not exciting for us but for them it was and it was nice to just hang out with them. So, it took 5 hours to get to Little Rock. The roads were horrible. We might have gone 45 the whole way there and that may be pushing it with the speed. We had to stop 2 times to get the ice off of the windshield wipers so D could see to even drive. Kinda scarey, but we definetly made a memory. To top off the horrible long drive, we missed the dinner part of the banquet and barely saw any awards given out. After we left the banquet that we were at for maybe 20minutes, we went to the hotel and we were all STARVING so we ate dinner, it wasnt that great. Next day attempted to drive home 2 different times and the first time it took 2 1/2 hours and we didnt even move and the second time we went 6 miles in an hour and a half. There were semis turned over and cars wrecked all over the place. It got to be kinda funny because we were so dilerious (however you spell that) from being in the car with eachother for so long. HA! Needless to say we didnt get home until Wednesday afternoon. Here are a few pics we took along the way. Definite memories!!
After all that, we had a great Christmas. I haven't uploaded those pics yet, but be proud because this was a BIG blog for me!
We had a very fun new year with my brother and his girlfriend Sara. We went to dinner with some of D's best highschool friends and their parents joined and then we all went back to the families house and played Wii all night. And when I say all night, I mean all night! I thought I was still "young enough" to stay up later than like midnight or 1. Pretty sure I was wrong. I could of slept for like 2 weeks after that night. I had no idea how fun Rock Band and all the games on the Wii could be.
January is here and IT'S FREEZING. I don't mind cold weather, but my skin is way too dry. Hope everyone enjoys the blog because it will probably be awhile until I post again. Well, obviously since I haven't since the beginning of December. Have a great weekend and rest of January! until next time...
