I'm Back,,,

There are truly no words to thank everyone for the outpore of threats and viscious emails and phonecalls that I have received about my lack of participation in this blog world. For the 2 or 3 people I have left, I will hopefully quench your thirst for more of my boring but sometimes interesting world.

So, since the house has been built (over a year) Ash and I purchased his dental practice. The day we went to sign the papers, I was thinking "No big deal-in and out in an hour max." Almost 3 hours later, and hearing words that I had no clue if even the lawyer knew what he was talking about-we walked through the doors new owners and heavily in debt. (big downside) But so far Ash is doing great and we are still married. (big plus)

My oldest brother and his wife Kim welcomed their second child-sweet Lainey Hope. She is a lump of love! She melts in your arms when you hold her. Her big brother Palmer is still sinfully adorable and also will melt your heart. Kim looks fantastic and so does Randy!

My other brother Travis and his wife Kelly are about to welcome their first child-Bennett Mitchell who should pop out to say HI in late August or first of September. Mom and I went to visit for a baby shower last weekend in Washington D.C. Kelly and Trav got so much stuff! She opened presents for 2 hours straight! Unreal! So much cute stuff!

The trip home was the trip from you know where. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:40 but did not leave until after 1 in the morning. So, to kill the almost 4 hours in the airport, I went walking with my IPod. Trying to make good use of time and energy. Oh-by the way-Ash and I have been on Weight Watchers for awhile now! More on that later... We are doing great with it too! Anywho-I digress. So, I walked around the airport to stay awake. All the gift shops were obviously closed so seriously there was nothing to do. Mom was wrapped in every single blanket she could find and reading about the latest scandel with Brittany Spears and her mom. (they should just make up by the way)

So, the flight was really bumpy but we landed and I was in bed at almost 4:30. But dont worry-it was all worth it! :))))

Last night, I got to hang out with some of my old high school friends. We are having our 10 year reunion this October! I cant believe how much we have all changed. Shout out to the girls! HOLLA!

OK. Well, thats all for now. I warned you that this was boring! I will try to update this more-I promise!

Wow - I thought I would take a chance and click on your link. You did update! I'm so glad! Glad to hear the shower weekend went well - except for your trip back. That stinks. Post some pics of you! Miss and love you.

Hey Meredith! It;s Martha Rogers. Keith said he had the pleasure of seeing you and meeting Ashley while you all were up north. You look wonderful(saw pics on Kelly's blog) and I am about to start WW myself; well as soon as our little Claire gets here. I did WW after Reese was born almost 4 years ago and LOVED it! Keith said he would do it with me but now he has started his own deal and already lost over 10 lbs( in a week don't you hate that). Your home is lovely and you look so happy. It is good to read your posts and you don't worry about how often. It's fun to see them whenever they come. Oh! And I tried your gummy bears and they are yummy! Blessings! M
