Cute stuff

Well, several years ago I bought a new bed after hurting my back. It cost me quite a bit of money and I thought it was a good bed. However, when Chris moved here, I gave him my bed bc he didn't have one here and he has repeatedly told me that my bed is HORRIBLE! Then we got married and two people on my bed is even worse. We both wake up with HORRIBLE backaches and I have a hitch in my hip. He has told me every single day since Oct. 17th he has told me that once we get his bed I will realize how bad my bed is. Well, this past weekend we drove to his dad's house in NW TN to pick up his bed and a few other things he had in storage. I have to say, the man is right yet again. We slept on his bed while we were there and I never sleep truly good when I am away from home so I couldn't make a real assessment of the bed, but after coming home last night and sleeping on it, dang it all!!!! I love his bed. My back doesn't ache and my hip hitch is significantly lessened. I only woke up once to pee (which in and of itself is nearly miraculous!) and I am thinking that it isn't that I had to go the bathroom so often before as much as I would wake up more often and when I would wake up, I would realize I had to use the bathroom. So, I am looking forward to much more quality sleep.

Also, his step mom got the baby a bunch of really cute clothes. To let you know his dad's sense of humor, when she arrived (she currently resided in Memphis and drives up to TN on the weekends until she can retire) he took her aside and said we changed the baby's name to Rebekah. This resulted in this kind, sweet woman using expletives. haha. Because as you can see...she got a bunch of the stuff monogrammed! She has a friend who monograms things, so that is nice and the stuff is so cute!!! So while things aren't important to me, I thought I would share the cutie things. All I can is that this baby better be a girl! :) There is one more bib that I didn't post that says "mommy loves me" and has her name on it. Just didn't want anyone to think I was being left out and daddy wasn't ;)

I was also amazed to see his dad's home. A year or so ago three tornadoes went through his town at once and actually combined forces. His house was left unharmed because he lives in a hollow with two high ridges on either side of his home. However, all of the trees down was crazy. Then a few weeks after that a huge wind storm blew through and due to the tornadoes...the trees had been loosened which resulted on a HUGH tree falling straight through the middle of his home. So he has been in a state of serious repair. Chris might go up and help him if his job ends and leaves him a few weeks or so between jobs. Chris thinks that he can finish it up in a few weeks...it is just more than a one man job between the ceiling, floor, moving all the furniture around and adding a back room and a deck/porch. The roof has been done and it has all new trusses. I guess we can all sit back and thank God for our blessings, huh?

Well, I hope you are well!!! Drop me a line soon!
