Elite Club...MEMBERS ONLY

Lately I have been feeling an unbelievable need to nurture. Here me out.
I have ALWAYS known that I want kids some day. It's never been, "well maybe someday, we will see."
NO I have always known that I would get married and reproduce. That's just the way things work, right? When we first got married I thought we would wait a year or two before having kids, no big deal. When that first year came to an end I felt nowhere near ready.
Well in the last few months it has crossed my mind alot more and the more and more I think about it, the more I feel like I can do this now. Well the second I decided its a definite possibility, it's like motherhood has been haunting me! Seriously!
Everywhere I look there are BABIES! Mothers with babies and fathers with babies! It's like all of a sudden I have noticed (or I am imagining things) that everyone in around my age has at least one child by now and I feel ... kinda like an outsider! Crazy, I know! I am only 24 I have plenty of time.
I have become very aware of the BABY CLUB and I am not invited. It's like once you birth a child you become part of this elite club. ( I have pondered this way too much). A perfect example of this is softball.
At Brandon's soft ball games all the other wives have at least 2 kids and they all sit in a row and they all talk while their kids play. It's just intimidating. Like I should go up to them and say "Hi I am Andrea and I have no kids but I am going to sit here and watch the game and watch all of your kids play. Oh and when you all share stories about your kids, I will have to tell you stories about my niece and nephews because I have no kids of my own."
Maybe I am so aware of these things because I just feel ready! Maybe in the not so distant future it will happen.
Brandon wants kids too but he is still in the "I don't see myself as a dad" stage.
Its a work in progress ;)

Ahhhh I feel so much better that I have gotten that off my chest. THANKS!

The wait is over!

I am happy to report that Brandon was successful! He did not play Playstation for 40 days! Unbelievable! This is him so excited to play for the first time on Easter. I am so proud of him!
And as for me, I have slept ALOT better since I got my pillow back.

She's all mine!

It's official, we are the PROUD owners of a Toyota Corolla! We made the last payment a few weeks ago and got the title in the mail.
I can't even express how excited we are to have finally paid it off. To be honest, when I bought the car brand new in 2004 I NEVER imagined I would pay it off. 2009 sounded so far off and I just assumed I would trade it in way before then. But luckily it has been a great car that has given me no problems. The thought of no more car payments is actually a little surreal.
It's nice... real nice!

Play Ball!

Brandon LOVES baseball! ( For those of you who don't know) One of our friends invited him to play on the church league.

It's really been alot of fun going to his games. The games are every Monday and Thursday nights. I bring a chair, sit on the sidelines and enjoy the game. They have played 3 games so far and have lost two out of three but they are getting alot better!

At first I kind of felt out of place mainly because I didn't know anyone. All the other wives knew each other from church plus they all have little ones and end up going to playground. But luckily I have met some really nice people and I am not feeling so much like an "outsider" anymore. :)

I made him do this pose! hehe I love it!

SNOW! Are you kidding me!

That was my reaction this morning when I woke up to find snow on my car! That's right we are in the month of April and it snowed today in lovely East Tennessee. It came as a shock seeing as how just TWO DAYS AGO we saw a beautiful of 80 degrees.

Now I realize I am using alot of caps in this entry but I just want to get my frusteration level across. I do not handle the cold very well and it's bad enough that the winter took as long as it did. All I want to do is where flip flops and tank tops! Now I don't think that is too much to ask! I will be estatic when the nice warm weather is here.... consistently that is! No more teasing me with the nice weather and taking it away. Only in East TN can I run my AC and heater all within a 48 hour time span. I never thought weather could be so frusterating.

I just needed to get that off my chest. I promise to try and complain a little less.

Accept my apologies...

So I know that I have been slacking BIG TIME on this blog. I think this is the longest I have ever gone without blogging. Well until this weekend I didn't have much to blog about because all we had been doing was work and that's no fun. But I PROMISE I will blog this week about what has been going on.
Until then!
