The break in.

I told you guys I would write a blog about the craziness that happened this morning, so here it is. (I just got down at work and am pretty much calmed down so I can explain atll the deets!)

Some background info: 2 weeks ago, Joel came home  from work at about 1:30pm and the kitchen window screen was off..and the bathroom window screen door was pryed open. We called the police and they took a report...took fingerprints...and thats it. freaky right?

Now today:

I woke up like normal...5:36..took a shower, got ready, ate breakfast, then waited for Jake to get up.
When I heard the munchkin at around 6:35am, I got him...then went change his diaper....when the door bell rang.

In my head I was like, "Who the heck is ringing my bell at 6:45!" Knowning that if it was one of my family members they would be calling...I looked through my front blinds at the door. I see a 20ish year old girl. I didn't recognize her or her red, 2door car across the street. Keeping Jake quiet...I decided not to answer the door. I kept looking through the blinds to see if she was going to ring again or leave. I saw her leave...walk to her car and get in. I thought she left in her car.

I go to make Jake a bottle, sit on the couch and call Joel. I was just telling him about this RANDOM girl who came to our door and how werid it was. As I was feeding Jake, I decided to just double check if the car was gone. To my surprise, the car was back (or still there.)

weird.

I was still on the phone with Joel saying how werid and random this girl was when I start to hear banging and noises at the sliding glass door. HOLY CRAP. Someone is trying to break it! Joel told me to call 911, so as I was holding jake and his bottle in his mouth, I go toward the screen door, open the curtian and BAM...there are 2 black guys standing in front of me with tools in their hands trying to open my sliding glass door.

Right when I pulled the curtian, one guy when to the left, the other to the right. After the ran, I quickly went to the front windows and looked out to see them running down the street, and the car following them.

I then callled 911 and was balling because I'm so freaked out.

The cops came...took a report and the fingerpring lady came too.

HOW CRAZY IS THAT?????

So that freaking girl came to my door  to see if i was home so her firends could break in! WHO DOES THAT??? urgh.

I just wonder what she would have done/said/asked if I HAD opened the door.
Also, I was thinking I should have called the cops before opening the curtian, then they might have caught them.

Oh well. I could go on with a bunch of shoulda,woulda, coulda.

I must say, that was the scariest moment of my life. I'm so thankful they didn't get in and Jake and I are safe.

So there it is. Crazy stuff.

Hap Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I wanted to share a fun song!!!This is a couple goes to my church and their song was played at the end of Extreme Home Makeover last week!! Spread the word!!!

my first pintrest saying.

Yes, I'm lame. I was editing some pics on photoshop, and then went to send my mom something on fb....and did this. So, I made a pin about it. bhahaha

You know you do this allll the time too! Don't hate!

Thanksgiving and fun!

Lol...Poor turkeys. However, I cannot WAIT to eat one! :) I think I'm most excited for the pumpkin pie, mash potatoes and turkey sandwiches! I'm anxious how Jake likes a good, thanksgiving meal!

On Thanksgiving at my Moms, we are going to make salt dough ornaments with the kiddos! I want to make this a tradition, then I"ll remember Jake's hand print for years to come (and any other kiddos I have!)

Last year at this time, I was anxiously awaiting Jake....now I'm anxiously awaiting his first birthday! I CAN'T BELIEVE HES GOING TO BE ONE YEAR OLD ALREADY!!!! :( :)

I can't contain the excitement of only working 1.5 days this week!!!!!!!!! HOORAY! After Thanksgiving break, we come back..it's December... I work for 3 more weeks then have 3 weeks vacay!!!!! AND...throw Jake's birthday and my birthday in the mix....and, duh, CHRISTMAS! Gah! So much to look forward too!I'm also excited to start decorating for Christmas and start shopping! This year is just going to be so different with Jake around...I can't wait!


ANYWAY!

The Fabulous Holly Leach took some family pictures for us...and I LOVE the way they turned out! She takes great pictures! Here are a few of my favorite!

I hope everyone has a GREAT Thanksgiving! :)

Jason Aldean.

I have a mild obsession with Jason Aldean. I hear the first step of recovery is acceptance. haha
Now, I know that lots of girls/women have crushes on celebrities or singers. 


This is not one of those. This is not a crush. This is  l e g i t admiration.


No, really though. His rugged, good looks is probably only 5% of my obsession. Maybe less. Honestly, he is attractive..but not like OH MY GOSH look at him.


It's his music. His songs. His voice.



I could, and have, and do listen to his songs over and over and over again. (Poor hubby should know every word to his songs as much as I listen to him)


My good friends all know about this mild "obsession" (I'm using the term lightly here!)

Lets just make one thing clear here;No, I don't want to marry him or have his babies. 


I would just LOVE to meet him, have him sing me his songs (and i sing the harmonies of course)...and talk about them and how he wrote them.

Now, you might say, "Yeah, his songs are on the radio are pretty good." You would be right. However, my favorite songs from him are not the ones on the radio! There are some serious hidden treasures on his cds!

I also read a little blurp on him in People Mag. He is such a family man...married his high school sweetheart, and has 2 daughters. He cut down his touring schedule just so he could spend more time with his family.


I realize that I am a unique, music (especially country) obsessed girl and not everyone is going to love everything I love, but I thought I'd just share my obsession. This obsession is nothing new...I've liked Jason since his first single, Amarillo sky.


Now, if you have heard his songs on the radio and liked them, I urge you to go get his cds and listen to his other songs. Here are a few songs I LOVE:


Fly over states
Best of me
Back in this cigarette
Don't Give up on me
Even if I wanted to
I'm just a man
Keep the girl
On my Highway
You're the love I wanna be in




"I wanna be there when you wake up, be more that just your friend. Baby there's no mistakin, You're the love I wanna be in."


"I'm torn and its tearing me apart I wanna go but I don't wanna break her heart. Like a sword with a double edge blade, its gonna cut me either way. This little town, that big ole world, chase the dream...or keep the girl."


ENJOY!

Happy Birthday, Joel B!

In honor of Joel's birthday today, I thought I would post a song that Toby Keith wrote for him (not really, but anyone that knows Joel, knows he loves his red cups!!!!)

I'm so glad Joel was born 27 years ago! Can't wait to spend MANY more birthdays with him!!!!

p.s. this is the un-edited version...so beware. Its not that nasty..just a warning!
