What a weekend...

Wow what an exciting weekend we had!!! I am officially moved into a garage sized storage unit in Auburn. A huge thanks goes to Lisa, Patrick, CT, Matthew and Ben for loading the UHaul and Mom, Dad, Ross and my sweet Adam for unloading the unbelievable amount of stuff that I have. I just thought I purged a lot of my stuff. We found as we loaded the truck that I have accumulated a great deal of earthly treasures or trash in my 26 years. After unloading and get in a quick hug and chat with Karen and her wonderful mom Shelia, we were off to Prattville to see little man Jackson.

He is SOO stinkin' cute!! I haven't seen him in over a month and Adam hasn't seen him since December, boy has he changed. He is turning into a little boy. It was still daylight so we got to go for a walk and play outside, which is his favorite place in the world. He charmed us and ran us and kept us laughing all night. I think he finds his Mimi (thats me) a little goofy. When he got out of the bath tub he came in the den to find he dad, Gigi, Papa, and Uncle Adam playing the big people toy Guitar Hero. I just thought I had laughed a lot. Priceless moments followed as my parents and myself trying to conquer or should I say even play this game. My sister-n-law Amy has a great picture of me reacting to my Dad trying to play. Below are other pictures of my mom and dad. Amy did take video of my Dad that I will sell to the highest bidder. Adam is really good and Jeremy caught on quickly. Jackson just laughed at us grown-ups being silly. Mom, Adam and I headed home to Hattiesburg yesterday while Dad headed to Nashville for work. I am so glad that Adam will be home this week on his Spring Break. We have lots of wedding things to do and I am looking forward to having him home for a week!!!

It's a beautiful day!

Could spring be springing? Dare I say the words. Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in the 'burg and it looks like today is going to be another beautiful day too. As I was coming back from picking up lunch I noticed a truck on campus with what looked like the largest tree known to man. I wondered where they might plant a tree of this proportion. As I got closer I saw that it was a trailer with about 5 trees on it. They are planting 5 new trees on this particular area of campus. I think about the many students that will find shade under these trees, the students that will walk past these trees and admire their stature, take pictures with these trees in the background. Those trees I just saw will take root on our campus today and that is such a neat picture to me of the roots of the students I work with. It is a beautiful day!! Go enjoy the shade of a tree!!!

You are cordially invited....

Well an exciting day has arrived! The wedding invitations are here!!! and they look FABULOUS. All of our worrying and mind changing paid off. I really could not be happier. I know that it is just a piece of paper, but it is so exciting to see"the marriage of our daughter Amy Elizabeth to Adam Charles Knight"


In other news.... We had a great weekend. Adam came home Thursday night because we had to be at the doctor in New Orleans at 8 am on Friday. We left Hattiesburg at 5:30 a.m. and were able to see a beautiful sunrise on the way to New Orleans. Not necessarily the way I like to spend my Friday morning, but I got a good report. We came back and had our first Marriage counseling session which went great. Saturday we had lunch with Sunny , Bud, Brandi and Matthew. This was so much fun especially since I am no longer the 5th wheel. Poor Bud, Matthew and Adam though they were kind of just left out as we gals just talked and talked. Better get used to us with us jabber mouths. I love my girls.




Adam and I had a productive day followed by the veiwing of Definitely Maybe. This movie is a must see. I hated for Adam to go back to Auburn but we are quickly counting down until the wedding!!!! He will be back in 2 weeks for Spring Break!!

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!!
