Happy Birthday to you..YOU

A very special happy birthday is in order for my wonderful mom!!! I really can't say enough about what a blessing she is to me. She has always been my best friend, encourager, cheerleader, and source of advice. The past few months of wedding planning have given us some really special time together. I cherish her words, time and friendship. Happy Birthday Mom!! You are the best!!!

I feel like a teenager again!!!

Well I guess that blog title could fit a couple of reasons, but I will start with the best one. Adam is coming home tomorrow and it has been over 6 weeks people since we have seen each other. YES you read that right. 6 weeks. RIDICULOUS!! I know this is true!! I was supposed to go to Alabama a few weeks ago but got the stomach bug and stayed home and missed out on seeing my 2 favorite fellas.
BUT Adam comes home tomorrow!! I am going to run him to death while he is home doing doctor and wedding things, but at least he will be home!!! I probably won't be able to sleep tonight because it feels like Christmas!!

Are you wondering how else I feel like a teenager... that would be every Monday and Wednesday when I go to teach my Speech Class at Oak Grove High School. I like to get there early (before the bell rings) so I don't have to walk through the halls WITH the students. I know they "claim" to be high schoolers, but I really don't think some of these kids are over 12. I mean seriously they were born in the 90's. I feel old, so I guess I should rephrase the header to be I am glad I am NOT a teenager again. I do NOT want to walk in their shoes again. Bless their 12 year old-looking hearts.

New Header

A shout out of thanks goes to Staci Cox for the fun new header. She is getting quite proficient in Photoshop. I told her that I like to change headers like I rearrange furniture WEEKLY. So I will keep her skills sharp!!! And when Adam and I get married I will keep him on his toes moving furniture :) Thanks Styce!!

I'm marrying the smartest man on earth!

Well it's time to brag a little bit on my wonderful fiance Adam. He really is in my opinion the smartest man on earth and the handsomest too!! Adam, along with his fellow doctoral student Ande, was awarded a grant to do research. I won't try to explain what he will do be doing with the grant you can visit the website to learn more. Here's the link! http://www.bertec.com/researchcompetition.htm.


Adam really is the smartest, hardest working man that I know. I love you sweetheart!!

Tulips are my favorite!

Now don't be jealous folks, but I am here to brag that my precious sweetheart with the help of his family here in the 'burg has decorated my desk with a beautiful arrangement of red tulips. I have always loved tulips. They seem to stand to the heavens as if reaching for the Lord's hand. Oh they make my heart smile. Adam knows how much I love them and has surprised me with them on multiple occasions and today is even especially wonderful.

This will be our last Valentines day apart. Next year I will be Mrs. Adam Knight! Can you see my face smiling??!!!

Tanner Wade

Isn't he cute. Thats a picture of Tanner Wade up above ladies and gentleman. He is my parents dog. I went over to my parent's house for supper last night and was reminded of how difficult it is to eat without him begging on his back legs for something. Now he doesn't eat "human food" but he has all the tricks as if he did. Not only does he have tricks but he is also a jumping bean so he you have to watch him because he is quick. Jackson and Tanner always have a blast. But by the time Jackson leaves, Tanner needs a nap because Tanner is either following Jackson around or Jackson is following Tanner around. I am going to be moving home in the middle of March until the wedding because my apartment lease runs out and I think Tanner is going to love having me home. He likes me just a little bit!!! Okay he would probably like you to if you came in the door!! He is not biased.

You know there is a Super Bowl going on....

Last night I had a great time watching the Super Bowl out of the corner of my eye as I visited with my wonderful future mother-n-law Mrs. Cindy and sister-n-law Lisa. Mr. Chuck (my father-n-law to be) and Patrick (Lisa's boyfriend) kept reminding us that there was a Super Bowl going on to which we quickly reminded them that were just fine socializing. I came for the food and the company. I always have a great time at the Knights. Here's a picture of all of us on our cruise last summer. Now don't we look like we can have a great time!!
