Day 7: Scattered

This week our house has been an absolute war zone.  We got our new countertops put in on Friday but that meant in the mean time we had to demo our backsplash, existing countertops and remove everything from the cabinets.  A small clutter doesn't bother me at all but this was more than I could handle.  We had kitchen stuff everywhere!  This isn't really something I wanted to take a picture of but it fit perfectly with scattered. 

Here's what the new countertops look like :)  So exciting!  Now, I've got to pick out a new backsplash and we'll hopefully be done.

Check out the new sink... yay, I finally have a garbage disposal!!

Day 6: Treasure

This little treasure jar used to be a decorative martini glass (don't think it wasn't useful though) in college and then we found a new purpose for it after college.  Anytime Tommy empties his pockets of change we put all the change in the glass.  Then when it comes time for a SnoBiz snow cone, I have a little change for a treat :)  It's really crazy how much money you can accumulate in change.

Day 5: Sweet Dreams

Shhh don't tell, he would not like that I posted this... But isn't it sweet?? He stayed up until 1 am studying for a test that night.  It makes me very relieved to be finished with school and not having to study.  Tommy will graduate in December with his MBA, yay!

Day 4: Jewelry

Wear these about 99.9% of the time.  Not much of a jewelry person, I wear the same earrings and necklace pretty much everyday.  Tommy gave me the pearl and diamond necklace for our first valentines and the earrings used to be set on the sides of a ring that my mom had. 

Go Spartans!! Day 3: Fly

Friday, Tommy and I headed with my aunt and uncle to watch my cousin Paul play football.  We have been to watch him all through high school and this year he his a senior.  Mountain Brook has had a great season so far and I hope it will continue for them because Friday night they beat.... Hoover!!  I think it was the first time in more than a decade or something.  It was so much fun being there and watching the excitement of the student, fans, parents, coaches etc!  We didn't have that opportunity at my high school and it was fun to feel apart of that win.  While I was there I took my "fly" picture - I really wanted to wait until the Alabama game Saturday night because there was going to be a fly over by a couple F16 jets.  I went with the Spartan flags, though.

Excuse the blurriness - I got to the came took the first picture and my camera said "no memory card"!!  Argh!  I had left it in the computer from uploading day 1 :(  Back up - IPhone that didn't take such a great picture with everyone running everywhere.  I was trying to zoom in on the flags flying, zoom takes even worse pics lol.  You get the idea.

Congrats to Mountain Brook and my cousin Paul (starting right tackle) on the huge win!!

Day 2: Something You Love

I didn't go mushy this time around.  This isn't something that I'm obsessed with and want 24/7.  I just look so forward to it everyday at lunch time :)  I think I started this habit in college and it has continued but since I don't drink coffee in the morning it's the perfect midday treat!

I love my Mountain Dew!! I have to keep the stock pile in the fridge full at all times!

Another photo challenge - Day 1

This is another 30 day photo challenge.  Things are a little busier around here this time around but I'm going to do my best to keep up!

Day 1 - Open Door

There's alot of curiousity about what I do and how I deal with the radiation.  When I worked in x-ray, before I graduated in Radiation Therapy, I got a decent amount of radiation.  You have to hold children for their films, stand in surgery to take images and run all over the hospital taking portable chest x-rays.  The good thing is there are lead aprons that can be worn to shield the highly sensitive areas of the body because the energy of the radiation is very low.  In Radiation Therapy the energy is very, very high and no apron could shield us from that but we don't ever have to be in the room - yay!  So even though the radiation is much higher my dose is pretty much nothing, we stand outside the room with this 2 ton (i think someone told me 2 tons one time) door that we close with a button while the patient gets treatment.  There's my open door!  Questions, anyone? :)

Anna Katherine Candler

I thought I would give a baby update since I haven't really given one.  We are entering the third trimester this week - whoa!  Reality might be just now settling in that this is for real :)  Baby showers are getting planned, furniture for the nursery has been ordered (not much else has been done to the nursery... it'll get there), we've already received some of this teeny, tiny baby stuff that is so stinking cute and my belly is just now really starting to grow for others to notice.  All fun stuff and all keeping me very busy! 

It's funny how these websites give you sizes of your baby, they don't say she's the size of a cucumber they say she's the size of a hothouse cucumber... what??  I mean who knows what that is?!? Not me so I have to go google images of all these strange vegetables and then still really don't know what size they are.  What I do know is that she is currently about 2 to 2.5 lbs and is about 14.5 inches in length.  We still have a ways to go before the arrival of our little girl and that's a good thing because we still have alot to get done before Jan 6!  (not to mention somehow getting all the Christmas shopping done, too)  We are very excited and can't wait to meet her :) 

Here are a few pictures from the pregnancy

Oct 1 - I'll take another one probably Nov 1

6 weeks and then 26 weeks

Look how much she's grown!!

She loves having her hands up by her face in all the ultrasounds

6 weeks and 26 weeks

I'll try to post nursery pictures as we get that all put together and maybe some new belly photos since I actually have one now :)
