What's Your Preppy Name?

Christmas in July

I feel like a kid again! The book has arrived! You know the one I'm talking about...the one that makes the series complete. Yes, it was delivered to my door today. ONLY because my husband pre-ordered it for me on Amazon so I could have it THE day it came out, and didn't have to wait in any crazy lines! Thanks babe! And, to make it even better it was delivered by a lady in an un-marked black van...true Harry Potter style. What can I say, I guess the muggle lady didn't want any dementors following her. :) Happy reading to all you H.P. fans!

Sleepless in Seattle

Yes I do believe our city should be renamed Seattle, Texas. Have you ever seen so much rain? I mean, don't get me wrong it was needed. And last summer we would have done anything for just a drop, but this is record breaking, right? side story: It rained a ton in College Station too! In fact I bought my first North Face rain jacket there b/c of it. But not before I went to the aTm/ticep game one year and got soaked b/c it rained the entire game, and of course we didn't leave early b/c we're not 2%ers! ;) Then the temp dropped to the teens and we walked home in our soaked clothes to find ourselves to be the color blue. So buy yourself a North Face jacket...it'll keep you dry!

Back to the pt.

Here's how I know it's been raining a lot (other than the obvious)

1. Our backyard has a mini lake in it. (would take a pic but camera is in car with hubby)
2. There are mosquitoes, gnatty bugs, and flies everywhere.
3. We haven't used our sprinkler system all summer and our grass grows an inch per day.
4. Our dog has skillfully placed muddy paw prints all over our house.
5. My skin has taken on a new pale color = no sun! ;)

Welcome to Bloggerworld!

So this is my first post! I have debated creating a blog for a very long time now...and have come to the simple conslusion that this is the best way to keep family(since mine are not in the area) and friends up to date on us. So have patience with me as I figure this whole new world out!
