Back By Popular Demand!

I don't know why this is underlined but I can't make it stop and it's driving me crazy. Anyway, I know I've been MIA lately but hopefully that will change soon. This is kind of a cop-out post, but here are the rest of the pictures from my trip.

Been Gone So Long

Trying not to land on the shark!

I'm back! Actually, I've been back for a while, but then I was in NYC the week after for work, and last week was super busy, so I'm finally getting a chance to post! I'm trying to slowly catch up on everything, so hopefully I will have time for a real post soon. More pictures to come!

Adios Amigos!

Going to Belize, be back later.

Happy Holidays To You!

This is the gingerbread house the BF and I made a while ago. It looks a little shabbier now, we've been eating off of it. Yes, the BF gave the gingerbread man a whip cream bikini. Happy holidays, everyone!

Randomness...

*This is a really cute picture of Bellies and my parents' puppies (Bree and Mollie) with my mom. They're wearing sweaters! It's cuuuuuute!

*My friends had their baby. He was 1lb 12oz, reeeeeaaallllyy tiny. He's having some trouble with his lungs and heart, so keep praying and sending those good thoughts!

* I'm having a bad day already and it's only 10:30am. Obviously, business is bad, but today is the first day I've actually gotten bogged down by it all. I had to give bad to news to some people and I've been getting phone calls and emails about it all morning. I have no boss, the next in line just had surgery, so my immediate supervisor at the moment is a VP, and she's hassling me now. Ugh. I'm listening to Christmas music and drinking a white chocolate peppermint mocha to cheer myself up.

* Ok, only a few more days of bullshit, then I get to go home for Christmas! I haven't been home in six months, I can't wait. My mom is baking cookies today and one of my brothers is already there. The BF is coming with me, but he's probably not all that excited. Driving seven hours to see people that aren't your family takes some patience.

* I learned how to scuba dive a few weeks ago so I can go in Belize. I'm going to finish my open water dives there.

*Speaking of Belize, I'm going in a week and a day! Yay! I just need to keep telling myself "I will be on a beach soon..."

*It's so snowy and windy here. The snow is up to my waist in spots. Yes, I'm short (5'4"), but that's a lot of snow!

*I'm mostly blond now. I think I want to go maybe one shade lighter and put some highlights underneath to lighten that up a bit, too. Also, the sun in Belize will probably bleach it out some.

I think that's it. Really, there hasn't been much going on. I've just been really busy at work and slacking on the posting. What have you been up to?

This post is having some issues with spacing again. Annoying.

Need A Little Help From My Friends

I need you guys to pray or send good wishes or whatever you believe, for some friends of mine. The momma is pregnant with baby number three and he wants to come out early.

At Thanksgiving they were in my home town to visit the momma's family and she started bleeding and was put on bed rest. She stayed with her parents while the daddy went back to Alabama. The Monday after Thanksgiving she was rushed to the hospital and her water broke. The daddy drove all night to get back to her.

The baby is only 23 weeks, a little over halfway, and he needs to stay in there for a while. The momma kept bleeding and had a fever, but by yesterday morning things were better. She had a good ultrasound and there was fluid in the sac. They're giving the baby steroids so that he grows quicker.

Tonight we found out that the bleeding has picked up. If you are spiritual or religious, please pray for this family. Pray for that the momma will have joy and peace, because being on bed rest is very hard, especially not knowing if your son is going to make it or if he is going to have disabilities. Pray that the baby develops quickly and stays in the womb.

You guys are awesome, and this family needs all the prayer they can get. Just knowing that there are tons of people out there they don't even know praying for them is a source of strength for them.

I'll give updates as they come. You guys rock.

* UPDATE: The momma is bleeding a lot and may need a blood transfusion.

*UPDATE: Major contractions. The baby is now 24 weeks in development, but needs to stay in there and grow some more.

Snow Photos

As requested by Bone, here are some pictures, taken by the BF, of the snow on Thanksgiving. There's a deer in there, too! Enjoy!
