There's been quite a bit going on since the last time I updated!

Mom and dad sold their house a month or so ago, and we have been living in my grandparents old house in Fayetteville until they get the new house in Greenville built. It was an ordeal trying to move 18 years worth of stuff in 2 weeks, but it got done. 2 more months and I move again...why did I unpack all my stuff?

Been working, what feels to me, all the time, but I think since I'm not a morning person, it just feels that way.

This week is looking good, though. Brian and I are heading over to Texas for Christmas on Saturday, the break is much needed, for both of us I think. I get my Vitamin B shot on Thursday. Yay, for not being tired, able to breath, and your body not hurting anymore. I told Brian the other day that I feel like a narcoleptic all the time now.
Still have to finish the rest of my Christmas shopping tonight.

Getting ready for the wedding coming up in February. It's coming up faster than I thought it would! Can't wait. We still have a lot to do before then, though.

Well, at the rate I'm going, this will be my last post for a while. So, I hope you all have a good Christmas, New Year and whatever else comes up!

    YES, a break is needed. And we get to go to a place where we can eat barbecue the way God intended it: WITH beef and WITHOUT Brunswick stew.

    Thank you. I hope you had a good visit in Texas. I didn't know how bad I felt until I woke up Tuesday and felt so much better. I'm doing great now.

^That was the day that Brian asked me to marry him. I said yes. It was during the fireworks and it was perfect. I'm so thankful that I've been blessed to have such an amazing man in my life, I couldn't have asked for anyone better! I love you!
  • musicmom66
    Wow, Kristyn! That is wonderful! Way to go, Brian! Congratulations and Good Luck to you both!

    Kristyn, I wish I could come back just so I could hug you and rejoice with you and Brian. You are both very blessed to have waited so patiently on the Lord. Ask Laura about "God Has a Plan for You." :-)

    Are you from LaGrange? or was it her maybe? We have a local chip maker here (tortillas blanco) and he just got some to the Lagrange market. Thought it was neat that it's traveled so far already!

    Oh okay and thanks! If they have the cinnamon sugar chips I'd try those first. I can eat an entire bag in one sitting lol.

    Anything for you.

  • kristindoula
    Do what myself?
    by kristindoula at 08/05/09 11:15AM
  • kristindoula
    Oh...yeah. I wondered if that was what you meant, but did I tell you that? Oh, wait...I said that on our GNO, didn't I? ;-) Totally forgot! Yes, I think I'm going to just do it myself ~ possibly with my midwife's help. It's really pretty simple, though, so I don't feel like I need to pay someone over $200 to do it, ya know?

    Speaking of GNO...when is our next one??? :-)
    by kristindoula at 08/05/09 12:33PM
  • kristindoula
    I'm feeling really well; thanks for asking. Just the typical aches and pains ~ and physical limitations ~ of the last few weeks of pregnancy. But I really can't complain too much. :-) I'm trying to really enjoy these last few weeks of baby inside me, and I'm hoping to get my big nesting stuff done soon so I can just relax and await the big day!

    Tricia asked me the other night if I'm ready for a "last hurrah" before baby comes ~ so we need to plan another GNO soon! Maybe try for early next week so Julie can possibly come? We can come to Newnan again to make it easier for all of you.

    When we manage to get together (I'm afriad it might be in June, May is getting very busy) what do you think about painting pottery? There is a shop in Sharpsburg where you can do just that, and I've been wanting to go, but with a friend.

    What are you up to these days? I'm teaching pre-k in the Fort Worth area but I'm thinking of possibly moving towards my sister in the East Texas area. ( That's when I was thinking of moving back from GA and all the boxes I had then!!! hahaha!)

  • crumpledart
    I'm thinking of the Tyler area. We'll see what happnens. There is a lot of factors affecting my decision now. First I would have to find a job and then do something with my house! I think I'm going to spend a lot of time there during the summer to see if that is the right move for me.

Sometimes, you've got to love the clear dots button. It's like, as a child, throwing stuff under your bed to clean your room...

We got back from Texas on Friday night. Christmas was great and I really enjoyed visiting with Brian's family! They are all wonderful people and a joy to be around.

I've had a hard time getting back into the swing of things today. I feel like I'm coming down with something :( Maybe I'm just tired.

I hope everybody had a good Christmas and New Years!
  • nativetexan
    You just need more Texas barbecue.
    by nativetexan at 01/05/09 3:35PM

    ^ Whatever- maybe it was too much Texas. ;-)
    Glad you are both back & had a great time!!

  • zavala
    Funny you should mention that. I was looking through my crockpot recipe book and I found some recipes for none other than ... Brunswick stew. I may have to try it and then have some when we come there to compare. I hope you didn't get sick from Nathan. Just think of it as a going away gift ;)

    So glad you made it home safely, but we have really missed you! It was a downer for us after everyone had gone home, but we loved it the whole time you were here. I can't wait to come to Georgia, but I'm not sure when that will be. I hope the two of you can come back again for

    I don't know what just happened mid-sentence, but I was saying that I hope you can come back again for Tyler's wedding in March. Hopefully, the weather will be better, and everything will be pretty.

    Thanks, little sister. It took quite a bit of retouching to make it look that good. On some of them I rather resemble a pig as my nose was largely obliterated. I loved chatting with you last night; you're so sweet.
