A New Invention

Grey and I went to Grace's soccer game on Monday night and his father, mother, and nanny accompanied us. It rained cats and dogs during the entire first half (40 minutes of playing time) which Grey's nanny proclaimed to be, "Just a warm summer shower."

At one point, she looked at me and holding something in her hand, she said: "Becky, have you seen this new invention? It's paper towels on a roll! And the neatest thing is that you can tear them in half sheets OR whole sheets. Isn't this great?"

:) Gotta love her. So here's to our new invention, paper towels!

mom speaks:

Our little Becca is a very funny girl! Keeping the house temp at 78 is the right thing to do to save resources and energy and inheritance for her future. In other words sweat baby sweat! Love you darling!!!

Happy May!

I like May because:
1) NORA IS BORN!
2) Baseball really gets going (GO BRAVES!)
3) I get my kitty!
4) Contracts go out for school...bring it on. I'm gonna make me a workin woman.
5) Everything gets greener
6) It's officially summer!
7) After May 12th, I'll have completed (not necessarily passed, but completed) my comp exam for my master's
8) Ice cream tastes sweeter
9) I get to stay at my parents house during May and they've decided to keep the air at 78 degrees, so I never stop sweating while I'm here.
10) It's Relay for Life month in Lexington! Go Women - fight that cancer!
11) Wedding planning officially begins
12) Kait and Kent celebrate their one year anniversary!

YAY! Happy May!

What happens when your garage is locked and you have to go in through the front door?

THIS. UGLY. HIDEOUS. THING. Fies in.




Thank you Jesus for making fly swatters.

The kitties have arrived!

These pictures are pretty blurry...Momma kitty was growling at me while I attempted to take these and I didn't turn on the flash (I didn't want to freak her out anymore than I already had). Can you see all four? One of them looks pretty cranky... ;)

Momma Kitty


And the babies!

God is good

1) I've successfully finished my 2nd semester as a grad student...2 more needed classes + 1 class for fun = graduation in August with a master's degree!
2) In one of my classes this semester, I managed to make a 59 on my first exam, not take the final at all, and still end up with a B in the class.
3) 30 days or less before I officially become an aunt to the most beautiful Nora Grace Whitehead ever!
4) My life long desire of having my own cat is coming soon...get ready for either: Franklin, Humperdink (from the Princess Bride), Buttercup (also from the Princess Bride), Tiana (from the Princess and the Frog), or Delilah

AND! Last but CERTAINLY not least,


5) My hubby-to-be...GOT A JOB!!! We can officially get married now :) He'll be teaching middle school and coaching wrestling, just like he wanted!

God is good.
Love,
B

Apt 211 has a new friend...

Yes. We've got a new friend and his name is officially Roger Skink. Here he is:


We think Mr. Roger Skink is this. Supposedly Roger Skink is not poisonous. He's an adult male ranging from about 6-9 inches with vibrant colors. Need a close up? I got your back.


We're a little scared of ole Roger. What if he jumps out and bites my toe off? Yikes. Double Yikes. I like my toes.
