Birmingham and NKOTBSB

I had a great appointment with Dr. Cannon. Andrew and I drove up the night before and spent the night with my aunt and family. We had a great time playing Life and UNO. I won Life but UNO you won by having the highest score I would have won that too!! In Life, I was a Dr, and a had over million dollars at the end of the game and I lived in a mobile home with a nice RV and lake house. It was so much fun hanging out with my cousins! Dr. Cannon told me everything looked great and wants to see me in a year. I was so excited! I didn't have to do a prep!! I asked her what I did to deserve that and she said everything I have been through that she felt as though I had had enough prep. After my appointment, Andrew and I went to our favorite place in Birmingham. Nikki's West!! It's so yummy. You should go if you are ever in Birmingham!!
---------------------------
After the trip back to Tupelo, we stopped by my parents' house to get my sister. We went to the NKOTBSB concert here in Memphis that night!! We had a blast sing, and dancing to all their songs. It was an awesome concert. I was hoarse for about four days after the concert!! I really enjoyed it!! We got front row and when I say front row I mean front row!! They had an area where they could walk off the stage and go into the crowd if they wanted!! We got to touch Nick, AJ, and Howie of BSB and all the members of NKOTB!! Here are just a few pictures of the concert: We both took a lot!!

I can now mark one thing off my bucket list. Going to a Backstreet Boys Concert!! Thanks Carlie for going with me and experiencing a great show!! I love you and hope you had a blast just as much as I did!!

Soo Sorry!!

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile since my last post!! We both have been really busy!! We have had concerts, parties, sick, and all VBS. We both are fine and just hanging in there! I'll be back this weekend and post pictures and details from everything that has gone on!! Please hang in there!!

Randomness!!

Hey! I know it's been awhile since my last post, but school has gotten the best of me the last few weeks. I have had three test in one week in the same class. It's been nuts!! I'm lucky I'm still sane! LOL! Well, other than school I have done much of anything.
This weekend a good friend of ours is coming up to see one of our favorite comedians at Harrah's Saturday night. Then we going to Tupelo to let my family meet Lady for the first time then to inlaws for a bit then off to Birmingham to visit my aunt before my appointment on Monday at 9:15. I'm not nervous about this appointment at all. I'm excited to go just don't want to do the prep once I get there. No matter how many times I have that done, it's still NO fun!! Andrew is going with me!
Speaking of appointments, I did go to my OBGYN. They don't think it's yeast. We are trying a med to see it will work and I'll post later when I go back in two weeks the name of what I have if the meds work.
Well, I know this is a short post but not much is going on other than school right now. Next week, Jaylee turns 1!! I'm so excited about her birthday party next weekend and all that goes with it!!

Happy Birthday, Jake!!! And Swimming

Jake's birthday was last Friday and his party was Saturday. I, of course, could not miss it! On Friday, I went over to help Jennifer get ready for everything. We made cupcakes, cleaned, and made good-bags for all Jake's friends. He had a blast!! Oh, he turned two!!

Jake loves Thomas!! He even has a ChooChoo Bread Cutter for his PBandJ sandwiches! I love this little boy so much!!

My neighbor, Brittany, was nice enough to paint Jake's Thomas picture for me! He now has it hung in his room. Yesterday, I was over there, Jake ran in his room, and pointed at the picture and said, "ChooChoo!!" I was so happy that he really liked his gift!!
------------------------
Yesterday, Jake and I were invited to go swimming with the Lemonds, and the Potts, and I could go on and on about how many people joined us for swimming. He didn't like it at first when I put him in the baby ring. Once, he figured out that he was fine and could kick to move himself around he loved it!!

We enjoyed a picnic lunch and then we got back in the pool. I noticed that he was not splashing much like he was before lunch. So, I removed his sunglasses to find:

He enjoyed a nice little nap by the pool!! It was so cute. We have had a great weekend together!! I can't wait in a couple of weeks to celebrate my niece's first birthday!!

Update on My Health

Hello to all!! I'm so excited that I'm coming up on my second year from having my first surgery. This surgery was where they made my J-pouch. This morning I was on Facebook and reading a blog of two people who are working on getting knowledge and support out to people who have or are thinking about having this surgery. Most people who have this surgery are people with UC and Crohn's disease. While on that site, I found another site that also provides support. They had a slide show of how the J-pounch is made. It was so cool that I felt like I should share it will you. You can go to the link here. This is the best way to show how it was made that I have found. I know Emily, Dr. Cannon's nurse, will love this! I hope this has giving you an idea of what my J-pouch is like! If you are wanting to go to the blog I was reading you can access it here .

UpDate on My Health

Hello to all! I hope you are enjoying this Memorial Day Weekend. We plan too!
Yesterday, we went to Cherokee to celebrate Pawpaw Billy's 80th birthday! He'll turn the big 8-0 on June 5th! We love him every much! We took Lady with us, and he was hoping that she was his present. She's my new baby and I'm not going to part with her!
---------------------------------------
Now that I have gotten you update with what is going on here. I want to let you know what my health is doing. I'm doing great, but other than this yeast thing (I think) that is driving both me and Andrew crazy. It's not fun. It's like I get an infection at least once every two weeks. I'm planning to call my OB/GYN tomorrow to schedule an appointment. Something has got to give. I don't think it has anything to do with my J-pouch ,but I'm not sure. It's become so annoying that I have used almost three tubes of anti-funigal and anti-itch cream in the last three months. I don't think it's yeast anymore. I don't even eat bread anymore. If I want a sandwich, I make it on flour tortillas. Who knows what it could be, but it's getting old.
I feel like I have gotten to personal with this post but living with a J-pouch everything comes a bit more public. I have enjoyed my J-pouch and would do it again if I had to do it all over. Like I said earlier, I don't think it's my J-pouch causing the problem.
I have my next appointment with Dr. Cannon on June 20. I can't wait to go to see everybody! They have helped me so much that I could never in my life time be able to give them all that they deserve for helping me in this way. They gave me my life back, and I'm so grateful for that!

Carlie's Graduation

Saturday night was a bittersweet moment for my family. Carlie graduated top of her class! We were all so excited for her! She looked beautiful! We love you, Carlie! Keep God first in all your endeavors! We are so proud of you! She received an award for having a GPA of over 3.5 and several scholarships!! She followed in my footsteps!
