My mammie

Heaven received the most precious gift on September 24th, 2012 at 9:44am. And at the same time, I lost my Mammie. My mom lost her mommy, my aunt and uncles lost their mommy, their security, their protection, their guiding light, rowdy lost his great grand mammie. I am sure that all of Heaven was smiling, and that my Mammie's son, momma, daddy, brothers, sister, and grand baby were filled with joy to welcome her to heaven. I am sure that my mammie is now free of the aches and pains, free of the weight of this world, and free of all expired food, worry, bad weather, and bugs. I am sure that my mammie was saved and that she is walking side by side with Jesus, and I am sure she is still with me.
I am sure this void in my heart that I feel so strongly is unfillable by anyone else, and that only Mammie's memories, love, and lessons will be able to ease that pain. I am so very sure that she already loved my son, and I am sure she will know when he is born. I am sure she will smile. I am sure, and right now I'm also mad. I'm mad that my mammie was so excited for her new beginnings in Joplin, and that she was so happy to move into a nice place, so ecstatic about the glass stove top, despite worrying about keeping it clean, so ready to see a decent doctor and looking forward to feeling better. And just when she was looking forward to these things and more, she went to be with Jesus. I'd say the only thing better than a glass stove top and walk in closets is being in heaven. So I'm trying not to be too mad. I pray every day and every minute that mammie will hold me together, make me strong enough to not be angry at God. i can hear her saying 'you don't mean that'. And I can feel her answering those prayers. She was with me ALL day today. Every time I started to cry I could feel her drying my eyes and calming my heart.

There are a few things I am unsure of that I wish so badly I could ask her. I am 25 years old, I feel like I hadn't grown enough to think to ask her some of the things I wonder today. I pray that going through losing her will take some of the selfishness out of me. One thing she was not, was selfish. I hope I can be more like her in that way.

Please pray that my family will be strong, and that we will all feel God's love and presence, even during this time when it's so easy to be blinded.

I miss you so much, mammie.

12 weeks && back to school!

Well, school is back in session! For me and DT! Summer is gone. Sad day. And my last summer as a self centered independent person at that. Next summer I'm going to have a little dependant deciding where and when we'll go places.
I have a sweet new group of well behaved firsties! A class full of characters, thats for sure. I'm excited to see just how much we can learn this year, love seeing all the growth at the end of the year.
I don't know how pregnant people survive and teach at the same time. I have to be eating constantly or my head is in the trash can! And then after all that the indigestion starts. Cant wait to hold our baby in my arms. It will all be worth it. One of the boys in my class said 'Mrs. T. You eat ALOT!' what a cutie, right?! :/
I need tips and advice for survival!

Miss anything? Hmm. Not that I can think of right now.

8/11/12
Ten weeks down! So many more to go before we meet our little one! Only 5 more weeks until we find out the gender!! && then we can start getting things ready for Baby Thom! We surprised DT's family at our cookout last week! We ate first, I could barely contain my excitement! Then we pulled out the cookie cake that said 'baby Thom.. Coming in March!' Not everyone was surprised! LoL we had a few that were suspicious! We shared our details, pictures, and lots of red headed jokes! Some of Daniel's family has red hair, and everyone knows red headed kids are 'a handful' to say the least, so we've joked for a long time that our baby will be this red curly haired trouble maker! What if that is really the case and he's born on ST. Patty's day?? Just swaddle him up and call him Patty. Oh my! Too much for me to handle!

Toast && sprite

My new favorite dinner! My poor hubby... I can't bare to be in the kitchen right now. My few weeks without morning sickness were just to good to be true! Now it is here 24/7. Thankfully not hardcore nausea, but yucky queasiness! Which makes it hard to do anything! I'm still feeling so blessed to have Baby Thom, and even though the sickness isn't a wonderful feeling- it is still a wonderful reminder! We still haven't told anyone, were waiting until after our appointment which is on Thursday!! I can hardly contain my excitement!! I've already picked out the bedding for guy or little gal. If Baby Thom is a boy, the nursery will have a vintage baseball look. If baby Thom is a gal, the nursery will probably have some yellow and grey with the chevron look!

When I haven't been curled up in bed I've been working in my classroom gearing up for the first day with my new firsties!

Exciting news: My mom is moving to our area!! As in like SAME TOWN!! We have lived apart for about 8 years now, and it has been so hard on both of us. Although, I'm certain that is why our relationship has become so strong! We talk 3-4 times a day about anything and everything! I am so happy for her, I know she has really been wanting a change. This is an answered prayer, and on God's timing- which is the perfect timing!

'When you love an alpha delta..

You're a very special boy!' && lance must be just that! Congratulations amanda and lance! The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was so fun filled, and the bride, of course, was stunning! Amanda, I'm so happy you two have found true love in each other. I had a blast catching up with my sorority sisters, taking pictures, and throwing the diamonds up! :) haven't done that in a while!

Exciting News!!!!

DT and I found out we're expecting on July 11th!! I'm going to write this post and then just save it until after our first appointment. We're waiting until after our appointment to tell anyone! I am beyond Ecstatic!! Feeling so blessed and nervous at the same time! The Mr. is also happy about our new addition! And I think he will really be on cloud 9 with me after our appointment when he can hear the heartbeat. If I have it calculated correctly then I am 7 weeks and four days today. I have been SO lucky with this pregnancy- so far! No morning sickness! I've felt a tad bit nauseous for a few minutes at night but that's it! I made our trip to and from cancun without getting sick- which I prayed about! I just knew I was going to be miserable there- but I wasn't!!
I've lost about 6 pounds too! I guess it's just those healthy cravings of cheese, pickles, and cucumbers! Before I found out I went a whole week munching on turkey and cheese on pickles for my lunch! I guess that should have been a sign! No more turkey now that I know! I keep thinking I'm going to see a rise on the scale because I'm SO bloated, but not yet!

How far along? 8 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: -6
Maternity clothes: looked at some online today but they aren't needed yet!
Stretch marks: noo!
Best moment this week: I'll go with one from last week- DT picked out a bib for baby Thom while we were in cancun. It was sweet!
Miss anything: Margaritas!! And turkey deli meat!
Movement: nope
Food cravings: mostly healthy!
Anything make you queasy or sick? Not yet! Hope it stays that way!
Have you started to show yet? No, I'm just very bloated at night!
Gender prediction: BOY!!
Labor signs: nope!
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or Moody? Usually happy! Had a couple moody spells (like when DT didn't tell me he wasn't going to eat dinner until after his softball game the other night..)
Looking forward to: our appointment next Thursday! I can't wait to hear baby Thom's heartbeat!

Shame!

You know your house is a disaster when you can't sleep past 5 am, at the thought of those piled dishes, unswept floor and dirty dogs! I rolled out of bed at the crack of dawn to get started on this mess. I would never be able to get up that early during the school year- NEVER! I guess it's the thought that I can go back to sleep right after church that makes it a little easier! We might even be on time to church- that will be a miracle! It's not that we don't value going, or set it as a big priority, were just slow moving kinda people! Or maybe it's that we find a zillion things to do or grab before we walk out the door?!

Love that vistaprint!

Just got 100 thank you post cards for... Free! Just had to pay $4 for shipping! If you haven't ever, you really need to check out vista print! Make sure you google 'vista print coupon codes' before you get started!

Another mighty Monday

These are some things I just might have done since last Monday!
1. I might have sat in the blistering heat with some much loved family at the KC royals game! I LoVE summertime ball games!
2. I might have laid out in the pool for hours!
3. I might have been SO proud at how hard my hubby is working towards his PTA degree.
4. I might have taken my pups for a few joy rides.
5. I might have found a few swim suites I'd like to have for vacation. Not in the budget!
6. I might have bought one, just one, dang you Vickie's!
7. I might have been extremely grateful that DT's parents fed us dinner when we went by.
8. I might have went through our wedding pictures. There are so many of Daniel before the wedding, just 'hanging' out/ chillin, so calm, so nonchalant. So many pictures of him just staring into the distance. Now that i think about it.. Maybe that was a photographer thing. Regardless, I want to know what he was thinking.
9. I might have made a few pinterest projects! I turned the old rustic window panel into a frame and Turned another frame into an earring holder.
10. I might be addicted to pinterest.
11. I might have fed my dogs peanut butter, from the jar. Is that ok? It's been a week and they're fine so I guess it is.
12. The pile of laundry that needs to be done might be taller than me.
13. I might have seen magic mike ;)

Photo a day: July

Before i get started...How in the world do I reply to comments???? I have no clue!

My summer vacation has begun and im doing just what i had planned! Lots of swimming, sunning, reading, ball games, spending time with DT & family, cooking, blog stalking, first grade planning, and just did some abs: that was not in the plan!

I've been Blog stalking today and two things stuck out to me that I want to disclose.
#1- people getting rid of their pets when they are now 'with child'. I agree with the blogger that brought it up- its AWFUL! I know things happen, and your dog might try to bite your babies head off, I understand the frustration in a case like that. But 'I don't have time' or 'things are different now' are NOT good excuses. This fires me up. I love my puppies, and I can barely stand the thought of boarding them while on vacation much less sending them off for good. They could continue to eat ALL my shoes and I still wouldn't send them away. Dogs don't decide 'they don't have time' to greet you at the door every time you come home and they don't refuse to lay right next to you when you're sad because 'things changed'. I am a little curious as to how my pups will behave when we bring a baby home, they are a bit rambunctious- but we will figure something out. I didn't decide to be their human mommy 'until we have a baby' or 'just until they destroy the back door, AGAIN.' I'll always have a place for them in my heart because I took them in to love and care for forever. (oh my gosh, let me go wipe away my mascara.. Just gets to me.)

#2- another tidbit that stuck out to me while reading www.allinmytwenties.blogspot.com: she was writing a letter to herself back at 17. Part of the letter was about having nice things and how it doesn't make you better than anyone else. She said 'sweetheart, your parents hard work and gifts make you fortunate, not better. Treat everyone with kindness, you have no idea what they may be battling'. Wow. Convicted. I'm not saying I'm rotten, completely self centered, and sans feelings, and i cant think of an example, but I KNOW I have clinched 'Louie' tight and hoped someone sees. Why would I want that? Why would I ever want to make someone feel inferior!? I want to impress my God almighty and doing things like that only breaks his heart. I pray that I will become more humble, less boastful, and also that I will stop wanting so much.

July photo a day!
I've never tried this before. Here goes nothin'.
Day one: self portrait (don't hate on my post pool locks)

Summer school is for the birds

Only one more early morning before summer school is OVER! I don't like to count down my life away but sweet little baby Jesus I CAN'T WAIT! Maybe it's the fact that a teacher isn't 'supposed to' teach in the summer. Or maybe I'm just spoiled. At least we got to go on a field trip yesterday. Too bad it was like 120 degrees in a bounce house with no ac. Anyways, I'm hoping this time next summer I'll be pool side. Or at home with a little one. ;)

All about us

10 things about our life together :)
1. DT is in school (PTA program) & I love having him home. When he was working- he worked allllllll day!
2. We treat our dogs like children. They are spoiled and get disciplined. I let them on the couch when DT isn't home. DT swats them when they get on the couch. Bless their hearts, They're probably real confused.
3. We love watching movies together. That's what we do on week nights and Sunday's!
4. I am a talker. And DT is not. However, he's a good listener.
5. We are suckers for pizza and ice cream. We usually eat healthy-ish but can never turn down some pizza.
6. We both keep the house tidy. DT is better at keeping things neat, clothes picked up, books stacked, closed drawers, etc... It comes naturally to him. Me, not so much. Unless I have TIME which I don't feel like I have much of. I am, however, the deep cleaning queen. (note that it takes TIME to deep clean, so that is where my house cleaning investment goes)
7. We have different tastes in the tv show department. He endures all my reality tv obsessions. I can only watch espn for so long.
8. We 'met' on Facebook through a friend.
9. DT is our driver. You'd think I forgot how.
10. We both like to travel, and we enjoy coming home just as much.

Might-y Monday

Here's a little list of things I Might have have done since last Monday!

I might have blog stocked for a few hours! Maybe even more.

I might have bought an ovulation kit! No worries, just curiosity!

I might have went sans-underwear to an event. I have a seamless pair but you could see the nude color, so off they went. Don't tell.

I might have picked out our future children's names after what might have been an hour of doodling names. The Initials are RJT and HBT so I guess we'll see if they stick when the time comes!

I might have bought a few things at a garage sale we participated in. My goal was to rid the house of things we don't need..psshh.

I might be absolutely terrified of the weather right now. Dark dark clouds, wind and rain. Dislike. I might have just checked out my 'safe spot.'

I might have spent my entire months grocery budget at SAMs. In thirty minutes. The remorse from that shopping spree might have led to our eating at home every night for two weeks straight until all that stuff is gone!

I might have made delicious dinners every night this week except one! We had tilapia, chicken tacos, burgers on the grill, spinach ravioli, and pizza just to name a few! Yes, all from SAMs!

I might be extremely ready for summer school to be done. Not that I don't enjoy teaching this group, but I have so many ideas for next year that i want to get started on! I want to get back in MY classroom and get my room ready! My classroom theme is going to be camping/ woodland critters! 12 more days- not counting today or the day I go to a EDM workshop!

My husband might have swept, mopped, and vacuumed our house. Love that man of mine.

Sweets for my sweet :)

I found a delicious looking dessert on Pinterest today! I plan on making it this afternoon before I head out of town! Gotta leave Mr. DT with something so he doesn't waste away! :)

Birthday plans are coming together! Leneeah and I decided we need to rent a boat and head out on the water for a day! I love the lake, tubing, getting some sun, the whole idea of being on the lake... except for when it comes time to get in the water. EW. I can taste that nasty lake water now. It doesnt take long to get past it once I get out there, and I know you're thinking "you're not supposed to drink it!" But somehow I always get a mouthful by being splashed, or while Im trying to ski..and failing.. I drink up half the lake. Anyways. I am SO looking forward to it!

Summer is near

So my summer begins at 12:20 tomorrow. I can hardly wait. Although, I'm going to miss my squirrelly bunch of firsties! Those little guys have just stolen my heart. Seems like as soon as I'm done with school, DT will be starting his school year up! Thank goodness he has decent hours! We'll still be able to enjoy our summertime together! Grillin', raftin', swimmin', aw yeah! I can't begin to put into words how excited I am that he is going into the PTA program! I hope and pray he just absolutely loves it!!

&& here's a picture I snapped of two of my favorite boys, The Mr. And Mav. Marley was, of course, laying on me. They are never allowed on the furniture.. But that rule is really only enforced when the Mr. Is home. I bet the pups are so confused. I'll try not to be 'that' parent with our actual children.. Which I hope we'll have sooner rather than later. ;)

Dang you, Facebook!

Now I remember where I was originally going with that last post. I'm going to try to stay away from Facebook for a while. I'm having a hard time finding my 'place' and Facebook only seems to make it worse. I see my friends that are at the creek all Monday long.. While I'm teaching. Do I want to be there? Am I not appreciative of my Career?! I was there a few years ago, with no cares in the world. Is that life the one I want? Don't think so, but it's hard when you don't feel like you fit in anywhere. Then there are my friends with all the pictures of their babies! And there I go comparing my life away. So I've just decided to stay away.

Deep breath turned into life story!

Oh me. What a weird few weeks. I don't even know where to begin. I'll tell you this though.. I have never wanted to move home so bad, with my hubby of course. I want and need my family. Yes, my messed up family. Feels like more than ever. I've come across a few people lately that I thought were my friends. Little did I know. They have their own agenda and care little about those around them. How sad is that. None of my childhood, high school, college or sorority friends were ever like that. No drama, no nothin. I was so lucky and blessed.. Until the last couple years. It's hard for me to handle. Makes me miss those real, true friendships. In high school, i had friends that would drive over to my house on a school night at like 2am just because i was scared. Both kaitlin and liz have done that multiple times for me! That is what i call true friendship! And I have a few of those, thank the lord! I do have really welcoming, Christian people in my life.. Like in Sunday school, they are wonderful people, but we don't feel like we fit just right. That's it, long story short, we feel out of place right now.

Thank goodness for The girls at work! I am loving every second of getting to know them better! && I'm really looking forward to all the plans we've talked about for summer- camping, ball games, bike rides!

Oh and then there is the family. My mom and mammie need prayers. Lots of them. I Pray they can be understanding and patient with each other while they're under the same roof. I could use a prayer to.. I need guidance. I've been pretty complacent with my relationship with my dad. A week went by without a phone call, then a month, a little weird, now it's five months. Which is sad and disheartening because we were finally finding our comfortable spot. I was calling 'just because' and just to share a thought, and he'd do the same. It was so nice. I finally felt that huge void in my heart starting to be filled. But now, 5 months later, feels like square one. Sigh.

I can smell dinner- I should probably check on that! :)

Health nut? Not so much.

I'm trying so hard to eat healthier. To live a healthier lifestyle in general I guess. Ive been Jogging & biking after school, preparing fresh fruits and veggies to snack on during the day.
I have a couple tips that have seemed to help me:
1.Prepare your 'snacks' in advance- I try to get them ready on Sunday night so I can just grab and go on a weekday morning. I keep my fridge stocked with cucumbers, peppers, apples, strawberries, pineapple, grapes, yogurt, and cliff bars.
2. Carry water around EVERYWHERE! && drink it of course. Helps to keep you feeling full.
3. Don't eat crap food- if it's packaged up from the frozen food section you should probably think of an alternative! I went to the grocery right after school last week, and of course I was hungry so I thought I needed everything I laid my eyes on. Needless to say, i slipped with my health food kick and Ended up getting these frozen, fried egg rolls. Omg. I cooked up two- barely got half of one gagged down before I felt sick! Threw those out! It's neat how your body changes what it likes based on what it's used to. My body definitely doesn't like that fried snack food crap anymore and thank goodness for that.
4. I kind of already talked about this one, but never go to the grocery store hungry! Make a snack before you go or you will hurt your wallet and your waste line!
5. Watch your portions! I read to go pour an average bowl of cereal- then look at the box and measure what the it says one serving would really be. Portion Distortion!
6. Reward yourself for reaching your goals! Just not at dairy queen! Go get a pedicure instead!
7. This one I'm working on- park at a distance so that you can get a little exercise while walking in to work. I wouldn't do this if it was dark when I left work.

With all that healthy stuff said.... Boy am I ready for dinner tonight! On the menu: ravioli with squash!
Check out the recipe here: http://kendallandkeith.blogspot.com/2011/07/creamy-ravioli-with-squash-lemon-and.html


One more thing.
This is what Mr. DT came home to today. My sweet babies went nutso on some magazines while we were gone! I made sure to give them lots of lovin's when I got home! Weird, right? LoL

Party Girl

This weekend was strange. It was an eye opener.
DT & I made plans to go to a piano bar with Liz and her beau to celebrate a birthday. It was so fun to crank up the music in my bathroom, try on different outfits, and get ready for a night out! Reminded me of running around the sorority house in search of the perfect earrings to match the shoes your roommate let you borrow. EXCEPT without 100 other girls & closets to chose from. It was just me and my hubby. Dancing and laughing while getting ready. :) What a big difference a couple years makes! There are times Ive missed the busy-ness and fun filled chaos that was my college life in the pi palace, but I must say how happy I am with how my life has turned out (here in the Thompson abode).
So fast forward a few hours and I'm sitting at the piano bar sipping a coke, yes, a coke! Do you see the changes in my life that slapped me in the face this weekend?! Rewind a few years and this girl is definitely not sipping on a coke && sure as heck not sitting down. Try dancing on the bar making eyes with all the wrong boys. Was I trying to fix something in my life or fill some void, or was I just being young? Who knows. So there I was Saturday night, sitting in my chair, right next to my husband, people watching && trying to process how far I've come in life. How far as in.. Growing up. I've come a long way. I don't even know the people in that crowd anymore. And instead of feeling the need to get ablitterated, and get all the attention I could, I enjoyed the music, especially listening to my hubby sing along, the company of my bestfriend, liz, And I really enjoyed my Sunday morning, without a hangover.
I'm happy with where I'm at in life, and okay with where I've been, but Im extremely excited about where WE are headed. I'm ready for nights at home with babies, and my family. People tell us not to have any little ones until we're bored of our 20's lifestyle. I'm not bored of date nights with DT or spur of the moment road trips to watch a ball game, or even deciding to head to the theatre 5 minutes before the movie starts, but I'm ready to trade in the superficial stuff. I want to be surrounded by family and friends that know what's important in life, or that are at least trying to figure it out like I am. && I feel like I was on Saturday night. I have a fabulous hubby and wonderful friends and family that I can enjoy life with. I'm blessed :)

Razorback Nation

It's official. Petrino is done. It's also official that Jeff Long is an amazing AD. We all want the wins, but character is more important. So for now...

Easter Sunday && Easter Dogs

Look at this.. three blog posts in two days. Thats improvement, right?!
I've seen so many cutesy- Holiday pictures for puppies so I thought we'd give it a try. Just wait until we have kiddos.
This is how it went down. Marley, my mostly well tamed pup, just accepted it, he let me put the ears on him. I snapped the picture && it was done with real quick. However, Maverick, my wild, more free spirited big guy put up quite the fight. I'll let you see for yourself how this took place. Here's Marley being a good sport.

&& now its Maverick's turn. First you have to get ahold of him.

Then we introduced him to the ears. He was terrified.

We settled with this one. It's Easter-y right?

Marley was a good help, trying to get the ears back from Mav.


If your wondering if all my posts will be about my canine babies, the answer is most likely yes. :)
When I wasn't loving on my four legged fur-babies today, I was loving on my hubby.  We spent Easter with his family in Joplin. && I just about can't move, I am stuffed! My MIL is a fabulous hostess and had plenty of yummy treats for everyone! We went to our church this morning-I love saying that- I finally have a church- I've never had a church before Forest Park. :) && a few things stuck out to me today. The 1st was about forgiveness... 7 times 70, my friends. Makes me think of a few people I need to forgive. But how? With HIS help I can.  I was also thinking of a few people I wish could forgive me. Forgive me for being selfish, narrow minded, and unthoughtful.  The 2nd was that the Lord has promised good to me. Man, what a wonderful thing to remember. Not only does he promise good, he fulfills his promises.

From our family to yours, Happy Easter :)

Gym time.

DT asked if I wanted to meet him at the gym. How could I say no to this boy planned 'date.' :) love that boy && his love for fitness.

Sweet Down Time

Well, hello blog world!
I've been away for a LONG time, but hopefully I'm back now for good. Don't judge, but I finally figured out how to edit the templates/backgrounds..all that jazz.
I guess we'll pick up right where we left off!
Since last July..
*I started my second year teaching 1st grade
*DT earned his personal training certification & started a new job
*We went on a New Year's cruise with my family! It was our first cruise, and we absolutely loved being able to hit up so many destinations! We went to Belize, Costa Maya, and Mohagany Bay. There was dancing, pool time, colorful drinks, New Year's Eve snow, dress up, dolphins, tubing, and shopping!
*DT started year #2 for Crusader Football! I know I am a little bias, but the man is a wide receiving stud.

*My sweet Mammie ended up in the ICU back in February.. She had a fall and fractured a vertebrae, and then they found an anurism. Sheesh. It was a month and a half of Lots of prayers & lots of tears. Thankfully she got out of the rehab center on Tuesday, and is now staying with my momma. I dont know what I would do without my mammie. She still sends me stickers with my holiday cards, and I mean EVERY holiday. She is caring & selfless, thoughtful & funny.. she is a blessing to my life.

*Momma Candy got us March Madness tickets && let me tell you, that was a treat! Fast forward a few rounds and the KENTUCKY WILDCATS take the championship! I couldn't have been more ESTATIC!
*The Mr. and I decided it was time to work on the house and get it on the market. You see, we've been having baby talk and this yard is just too small was just a 3 year house on our plan. What you probably didnt know is that I lived in this house when I was younger!! So fast forward to after we buy the house---- no new home with my hubby feeling for me. :( Only weird feelings of sleeping in my parents room, now mine and my husbands room. Sad day.
*Mr. DT was ACCEPTED into Physical Therapy Assistant school!!!!! Talk about some answered prayers! No more awful hours that go with awful pay. Pretty soon we'll be on the same schedule, and that makes me smile!
*Pause on the house selling plan! Let's get this guy through school and after he starts bringing in the money, then we'll get in our dream house. :)
*All these answered prayers -life is panning out somewhat like we had hoped and planned- && baby fever is hot upon me! omg you guys. Im looking at cribs and clothes like I'm due next month! Normal? Not so normal? Who knows. Who cares. :)

That pretty much brings me to today..Easter break. I decided I was going to spend this gloomy day working on my blog and it looks like I did just that!

Spring time car ride with the Dawgs.
