Dear Fall, I'm so glad you're back in my life

Well. I'm officially a ripe, old 27 year old.

Just kidding. About it being ripe and old. I'm not kidding about being 27. Somebody asked me Thursday how old I was and I had to count on my fingers to be sure. Which should make all of you thankful that I don't teach math. 

Back to forgetting my age. Isn't that weird? Do you do that sometimes? What's even weirder (I know that isn't a word but it's the way I would say it if I were talking to you face to face) is when it hits me that I have a 2 year old. I don't feel old enough to have a 2 year old. I feel more like....um....a 21 year old. Except at 21 I didn't have a mortgage, husband, or baby.

Never mind, I don't feel 21.

 Sigh.

Thursday morning to start off my birthday I had the following conversation with Reese:
Me: Reese did you sleep good last night?
Reese: Nooooo
Me: Why?
Reese: Baby cry

And she was right. She had cried off and on all night long. I can't imagine why because she was either on top of me or laying with her arms wrapped around my neck all night long. Yet she still feels the need to complain. I don't understand it.

To celebrate we (Big Daddy, D.D., Uncle G, MeeMaw, and PeePaw) all went to Yume for Japanese. It's important that you know that my parents don't branch out and eat new things. Branching out to them means eating Outback instead of Lonestar. They are people with boring simple palates. When we sat down at the table my daddy looked around and said, "you've GOT to be kidding me." I feel like it's safe to say they won't be regular constituents of Yume (or any other non-steakhouse restaurant). But then again this is a man that started drinking Mountain Dew a few years ago to cut down on his caffeine intake. He's a strange little man.

 The highlight of my birthday for Reese was getting to see "Onk G" and getting a ride.


D.D. brought delicious red velvet and key lime cupcakes that I ate a staggering 1 of because yesterday I turned the oven on to preheat and 10 minutes later Adam discovered that my little box of cupcakes had almost gone up in flames. Sadly they were melted to a non-edible state.

Friday night we went to the first Central, or Clay Central, or what ever we are going to call it football game. Reese loved it. The band seemed to be her favorite. Her BFF Addie was behind us and was talking while the band played so Reese turned around and said, "Addie hush." We've got some work to do on our manners.


I waited till Saturday to give myself my birthday present. I got up, cleaned the house, put rotel in the crock pot, lit my fall candle, turned on the first football game I could find, and put out my fall decorations. I give myself this same gift of decorating the house the weekend after my birthday every year because it makes my heart happy. Then we loaded up and went to Adam and Adrianne's for the game. I didn't see a play of the game because I was busy catching up with friends and making sure Reese was sharing with Blakely and Sarah. I heard Auburn is going to be slightly less than good this year, but I don't really care because my love for Auburn is more than football deep. I love the town and the atmosphere and apparently so do all the other Auburn fans or we would have broken up with them last year.

Blakely still has a paci and Reese was real jealous.  When Blakely would cry Reese would put her paci in her mouth.



Hopefully I'll make it back to the blog sooner rather than later, but I can't make any promises. My mother starts pestering me about it if I don't blog consistently. As if she doesn't get to see the girl everyday;)
