I felt so awkward and embarrassed when I watched this segment. The anchor did a really good job trying to make the conversation flow!!

Happy (late) Birthday Corbin

So Corbin's birthday was Oct 11th and I am just now blogging about it.

It's not that I have been too busy, because I definitely have not been. It's because Corbin decided he wanted to have a "birthday week" instead of the traditional birthday "day." During his "birthday week" he decided he would be able to make ALL the final decisions and have everything go HIS way. At first I thought sure...why not? Until I tried to pipe in and give a suggestion and Corbin would say " Amy...it's MY birthday." That got very old, very fast. Once his birthday week was over, I realized I am pretty spoiled. Corbin sacrifices a lot of things he likes to please me and to make me happy. He is always thinking about me and always makes me a priority. What girl wouldn't want that? Even though he is so busy with work and is being pulled in too many directions, He always makes time for me, which makes me feel so loved and appreciated. Happy late Birthday Corbin. Now....... who wants to take a stab at how old he is?

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my moms birthday. I asked how old she was when I talked to her today and she said she is a "speed limit" now. She is 55. I have the best mom and wish I lived closer. Maybe one day my mom and dad will want to move out to the west and join their other kids. Even though it's been several years since I've lived at home, I still get homesick and miss being with my family and eating my moms homemade southern food.

One of the things I really love about my mom is her ability to know when something is wrong. There have been many times that she has called me at the exact moment that I needed to talk to her. She offers her council and advice, but not without it going on my never ending tab:) She says one of these days she is going to start charging for her services. She would make some good money since there are five kids in the family.

I love my mom to pieces and can't imagine being on this earth without her. Thank goodness familes are forever.

Bread

Who doesn't love homemade bread? It's been a goal of mine to learn how to make a good loaf of bread, so last weekend I had a friend show me some of her recipes and gave me some great pointers on how to make some fantastic bread. I was definitely having some problems before and my bread always turned out to be these small round loaves that would be more suited as "bread bowls" then sliced bread. Now with a few trial runs I think I am really close to making a good loaf! My next challenge..........sewing. We will see. What do you want to be better at?

Pumpkin Patch

Fall is in the air and I'm so excited for this time of year. We wanted to go to the pumpkin patch and actually pick out a pumpkin...(well I really wanted to). I'm such a kid at heart and I love getting into the holiday spirit. From now until the first of the year is my favorite time of year, just like everyone else I'm sure. It was so fun picking out our 2 perfect pumpkins. There were so many to choose from, but we finally made a great choice.
