I got up at 4 something this morning. And I am just UP! I've got a lot of exciting things I am thinking about, so I started thinking to much when I got up to pee.
I can't believe Audrey will be 3 in less than 3 months!! Where did the time go? I have been planning her birthday already. I have no idea where it will be or who to invite, but I do know it will be Dumbo/circus themed. I have a friend who sews and I am thinking that I will get her to make a dress. You just can't find Dumbo clothes!
Another exciting thing is that I was looking through our finances and I believe we can take a little trip to Disneyland! I am so excited about this possibility!
More on that later. Audrey's up now!!

Spring is here?
We've had some lovely weather lately. It sure feels like spring is here! I hope it stays this pleasant. Also, it would be great if the board of directors to this place would vote to turn on the A/C, as it gets fairly stuffy in our townhome. Other than that, we love our new home. We are so blessed to have found such a nice place at such a great deal!
Since we never really got any really cold weather, certainly not any hard freezes, allergies are bad this year! So many people are just plain sick. I have a good friend get the flu! I've had a dull headache for weeks now. It actually cleared up on our trip to Houston this past weekend, but Brent's allergies flared. Pollen was bad there, as we had just washed our car while there and it ended up yellow within a few hours.
We had a pretty good visit. Of course, we always eat really well when we're there thanks to my in-laws. We got to stay in a hotel while Audrey stayed with them, since Brent's brother Trey and his girlfriend Katelyn came in to town for the rodeo. It was our first time meeting her and she's a sweet gal. She reminds me of my dear friend Shelly, so that's a good thing.
The only thing that sort of messed up our trip was the fact I am PMSing, so I was being ultra-sensitive. Instead of voicing my hurt though, I kept it inside. But seriously, if my MIL started talking about stupid three brothers bakery again, I was going to have to hurt someone. Okay, this is not because of my gluten sensitivity. I tried this bakery BEFORE I was diagnosed. It's the one BIL and SIL used for their wedding cake. So. Not. Impressed. The ONLY thing it had going for it was that it was moist. That's it. I believe one layer was coconut and one was pineapple? Couldn't really tell. Threw most of mine away, as it was just a waste of calories to me. Not the worst I've ever had, but a FAR cry from the best. Why doesn't she bring up our baker?? She's been on flippin' Food Network since then and people are still talking about those cakes. Then BIL started downing private school. Hello?! What was this? "Step on Anne" weekend?! They are looking to buy their first house, but to buy a house based on a school system is frickin' STUPID!! Especially when they don't know if they can have kids or not due to her health problems.
Well, that quickly escalated into a vent, but just thought I would throw that out there. Yes, I do feel better, as a matter of fact. I do have wonderful in-laws, which is why when they do insensitive things, it hurts.
MIL and I had wonderful talks and she offered some advice to Brent while we were there as well. She had a lot of good ideas for him. I hope he pursues them. Brent sees my daddy as a great source of encouragement to him, while I see his momma as my biggest encourager. I love the woman to pieces! Today is her birthday (that's why we wanted to go to Houston) so I hope her day has been great. Brent has been on the phone with her and I am smelling our curry on the stove. It's done and it smells wonderful!!

Addicted!
"Hi. My name is Anne and I am addicted to contests."
"Hi Anne."
But seriously, I have to blame one of my Disney mom friends, because she showed me all these links and it's free to enter. Can't win if you don't enter! Anyway, she's won quite a few, so I figure certainly I can win something, right?!
So if you follow me on twitter or see all of my new "likes" on facebook, there's a reason for all of the crazy!
Can you believe February is almost gone?? I can't. I've barely blogged!
We usually go to Houston to visit my in-laws the weekend in between BIL's and MIL's birthdays. We even mentioned this the last time we saw them. But now they are having a guest and we may not get to go. Been kind of upset about that.
I've been playing with different flours for gluten free baking. I need to start giving this stuff away! My brother's going to get half this cake I baked. I am so pleased with how it turned out. Other news with me is I am going to try to get voice lessons. I've felt really shoddy lately, so I just want to feel better vocally. I have a couple of groups wanting me to sing and I'm just not "there" right now. I am honored they would think of me.
We met with this one couple who also lives in Irving from our church yesterday afternoon. What a nice couple! They are expecting their first in July and they are just a fun couple. Can't wait to get to know them more!
So that's been what's up.

Playing catch up
I've been too busy for this thing lately, but now things are a bit more settled. We've moved, unpacked and decorated, explored our new surroundings, had guests, Brent started his new job, I've been helping with the prep and then one day of the estate sale my parents were holding, and battled already trying to get our mailbox key! That's the last few weeks in a nutshell!
Brent has stated his 3rd week of work. It's been tough and I don't think he knows what to make of it quite yet. He is thankful for the job, of course, but the company seems very disorganized. He has long work days, but the nice thing is that it looks like he will get most Fridays off. At least shorter. He works with one other guy who started 2 weeks before Brent and they have 2 bosses who revolve weeks. One Brent doesn't like as a person, but he's a good boss and the other he likes as a person, but he's a bad boss. The bad boss has already threatened them with firing and was very insulting. That on top of working a 14 hour day driving to Midland and back, Brent seemed ready to quit. But things might be getting better now, since he will mostly be on his own from now on. They don't give them GPS's though, so he's nervous about getting around. I may look up smartphone plans for us to help with that part of the job. He's not going to quit, but he will be in pursuit of a more ideal job. We are thankful though and I really have enjoyed him having 3 day weekends.
My brother Peter was in a car accident. Some FOB lady not wearing a seatbelt, ran a light and was speeding. I am just glad that he only escaped with a sprained chest. And that was from the airbags. His truck is totaled, but at least since it wasn't his fault and it had such little mileage on it, he's going to be able to get an even better truck!
My poor dad though. He is having to deal with this since my brother can't due to his brain injury, plus the sale of the house he lived in since he was 2, the estate sale, the IRS coming after him because of being generous and sickness in the family...he's stressed.
Audrey digs her new surroundings. We have stairs now! I did burn her foot while using our Shark floor steamer. It wasn't bad at first, just red. The next day though it bubbled and it's been looking quite nasty. I believe it's healing though.
Now we'll be able to have some sort of schedule. Looking forward to that! God has been good through it all.

How's THIS for God's timing?!
Brent got the job AND the house has a contract on it!!
God never ceases to amaze me. How perfect is this?!
Taking the boy out to a celebratory dinner tonight :)
Meanwhile, I get to look at rental properties. That can be kind of fun :)

On Pins and Needles!
Brent has an interview at 4 today, so in about 45 minutes! I am so thankful. I would be so grateful for him to be able to for the first time ever, have a full time job with benefits. I've done the only thing I know to do: pray. And I have asked others to pray too. He asked me not to post anything on facebook, and I wasn't going to. He would be so embarrassed if something didn't work out. I look at it as more people praying for you. But I did write some of my friends I know who do pray. I can't do anything right now, but blog about this. I know I am blubbering, but it's been tough.
Yesterday, I felt like I was on fire with my prayers and God answering them quickly. I joked I should get a lotto ticket. A lot of silly little prayers, but God answered even them. Proof that He listens to every little prayer of your heart.
I don't know when we will find out about this job, but I've got a case of heartburn. I think I am more nervous than he is! God is good though, and Brent will get this job if it is in His plan.
Good timing too, because my folks just got a bid on the house. It's been on the market for almost an entire year. These people are asking for $80k off listing plus to close in 2 1/2 weeks, so that's not gonna happen. It's just nice that there was an offer. The sale of this house is my folks retirement money, so they need as much as they can get. The house has a lot of issues though, so I am hoping it sells before it gets worse. Mold, mice, leaks, an AC unit I don't see lasting another Texas summer...
Lot's of prayer going on here!

New Year!
It's 2012!
The year certainly flew by. I am glad 2011 is behind us. It was not a very nice year to us. That one day last year pretty much colored the whole year: the day Mamaw died and we got rejected from Asian Access. Worst. Day. Ever. I was puking up a storm as well, because of a stomach bug. Yeah.
The highlight was the marriage of Derek and Sarah. But seriously, other than that.... I'll just say I am glad that year is over.
A new year gives me a new outlook. What will I be thinking this time next year? I am praying for blessings this year. We will be moving at least once this year. I am hoping to keep it to once. Praying this year Brent finally gets a full time job with benefits. This year will involve potty training Audrey and maybe getting her in to ballet lessons come Fall. My over all health should be better this year. I feel better than I have in a while. I turn 30 in April. Hoping that we get a trip in.
We have been so blessed and everything happens in God's timing, not our own. I am hoping that this will be the year!

Brent's 30th Birthday party
On Friday the 30th, I had a surprise party for Brent in Houston while we were visiting. A bunch of friends showed up that he had no idea would be there. He thought it was just a family thing. I think he had a pretty good party. I can't believe the boy is 30!
Christmas
I haven't written in a while, since it was Christmas and then we were out of town for a while, so I am going to put separate entries for each thing, so here's the first: Christmas.
Our Christmas was nice. It was on Sunday, so we celebrated by going to church. We had a really informal service, but it was a good service. Audrey enjoyed it. Both Brent and Audrey were a little under the weather, but other than that the day was blessed. We had lunch over at my folk's house. Lots of good food. I made a pumpkin pie that was so good. And allergy free too! I usually don't like pumpkin pie, so it was kind of a big deal.
We all got spoiled. Audrey's favorite gift was definitely her kitchen she got from her Grammie and Gramps. Brent's was either his PSP from his parents or the Japanese/English Bible I got him. Mine were gift cards for clothes! I need some! Also my flannel sheets from Brent are absolutely wonderful.

Thanksgiving week
What a great Thanksgiving week! We started out with my MIL coming in to town for a few days. Audrey really enjoyed having her here and cried so much when she left. Grammie got her a cozy coupe and I stepped on a plastic screw which caused bleeding and I was in major pain for days. That's some thick skin it got through! After Grammie left, Aunt Nancy stayed with us through today, so Audrey has had such a fun week! We got to make peppermint patties which were downright sinful. I will have to post the recipe some time. My first GF Thanksgiving went well. Everything was quite delicious. I wish I had made some croissants though. It was the only thing I was really missing. The service was great too. Just a really great week and I am so thankful for so many blessings in my life.

Grocery Shopping
What was I thinking? The grocery store on a Saturday? And not just any Saturday, but the Saturday before Thanksgiving??? I think I went a little mental.
I really don't like grocery shopping. Especially now, since I have to stop and read every label. Not my favorite thing to do. At least I didn't have my 2 year old with me. She hates grocery shopping too, but she lets everyone know.
DH and I were planning to clean house today, but were forced to do an ultra-fast clean, because someone called to look at the house. Of course, they wanted to come during Audrey's nap time. So she went down earlier and we got to cleaning. My mom helped too. They thing that whomps is that we don't even know if they really came or not.
So for Thanksgiving, Brent will rotisserie a smaller turkey and I will make blackberry cobbler and sweet potato casserole. I am glad we will be able to help out. Hmm, maybe I should make GF rolls? Ooh, or croissants!
I love this time of year :)

Nap, please?!
I hate it when Audrey sleeps in the car. I don't care if it's 1 minute, she won't nap because of it. Ugh. I count on her nap. Can you tell I am battling it today?! I hear her on the monitor letting me know she's up. I put on headphones. I figure she will eventually go to sleep. I have a couple of projects I am working on and it's the only time of the day I get "me" time. So sue me, I want to watch an episode of Dr Who in the near future!
I've been helping my mom remodel Peter's kitchen while he and his wife are on vacation with her parents this week. We got quite a lot done, but it feels like it will never be done. I got paint on my favorite pair of jeans. *sigh*
So glad it's Friday. Hope we can do something fun this weekend. I just tried something different with those white bean blondies. If they turned out good, I will let you know what I did in the next entry :)

One more week!
I can't believe it's a week until Thanksgiving! I love that the weather is cold today and once more I have that wonderful Southwest Chicken soup in the crockpot, making the kitchen smell heavenly.
I wonder what I will contribute to the meal. I think it'll be good to take at least a side and a dessert, so that I will get to have that. And I know my bother Peter will bring something I can eat as well. We're a pretty allergy-friendly family since Peter's had major food allergies for the past 20 years. It does make it feel like less of a burden on my side since that's just the way we cook. I think I might just be so frustrated elsewhere. So now I am trying to think of ideas so I can get what I need from the grocery store.
Christmas shopping is almost done. Just need to get my youngest BIL's. Brent doesn't even know what to get him and he hasn't given any ideas. Argh. We're supposed to get some sort of settlement from our old electric company in Austin sometime in December, so that is a nice little surprise. Every little bit helps! :)

Happy Birthday, Austin!
I can't believe it's my nephews 5th birthday already! He is such a fun little guy and I just love this kid! Here we are when I met him the week of Thanksgiving 5 years ago!

Bad food decisions
Monday through Wednesday, I made bad decisions diet-wise. Monday I went to Applebee's. There was no gluten-free menu. I got a salad, but I know I got trace amounts of gluten probably from the dressing and I got some crunchies. I don't think I had much of a reaction. Tuesday I went to lunch at Maggiano's and they have a great gluten free menu and were extremely friendly about it. However, there was a sprinkling of parm and then I had a coupon for a free dessert so my Dad and I split a creme brulee. Bad. That did a little more. But then yesterday, I got to see my little old cajun lady. I had so much stuff I shouldn't have had. It tore me up something awful. I've behaved myself today. At least I know it's no biggie if I get a tiny amount of something.
Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of my Grandaddy's death. I took him a gardenia from his yard. I can't believe it's been that long.
I have Southwest Chicken Soup in the crockpot. It's smells delicious. I love that it's cold!

Day got better
So yesterday was just a rotten day until after dinner when Brent, Audrey and I went on a walk. I felt almost immediately better. Brent and I get these amazing talks in when we go on walks and Audrey gets to play at the park, so everyone is happy. When we got back, I noticed I got an email and it was the organizer of the holistic families expo last weekend saying that I won the $500 gift basket! I forget what all is in it, but how cool is that?! My mom joked that now maybe I am on a roll and I will win the Toyota Sienna from the Fair. That would be AWESOME! I want a minivan so badly, as has been previously stated. Derek and Sarah got in last night, not quite as late as we thought they were, so we were able to visit some last night. So it did turn out to be a pretty awesome day!!

State Fair of Texas!
Audrey and I went to the Fair yesterday with my folks. My dad volunteers at the butterfly house on Thursday's and gets free tickets. It's also Senior day, so my folks get in free anyway. So I got a free ticket, we got to park for free, Audrey of course is free and my folks are old so they are free! Woot! It's a good thing too, because everything is soooooo expensive. I finally found a place that sold turkey legs for 14 tickets instead of 18 (that's $7 vs. $9!). Audrey really enjoyed it. She loved the calf at the Borden exhibit, but Elsie sort of freaked her out. She got some free ice cream and didn't protest too much. She loved the butterfly exhibit, especially with GrandBink there.

Audrey tried to crawl in with him :)
The bees were kinda cool

Lagging on my entries!
I can already think of 3 entries today. Can you tell I've had my coffee??? Part of it is because I haven't been posting as well as I thought I would be so thing's I would've blogged about have come and gone. Some thing's I haven't blogged about because of concern about who would see them. I am about to throw caution to the wind in 2 of my posts today, including this one.
It's one of those days today. I have been crying on and off since waking. Just feeling down. I am on my period, so that doesn't help. Almost everyone in our families are on my bad side. Those that I don't have issues with, just let me think about it for a while and I will think of one. Yes, that is just how I am feeling today. Sorry to any family reading this. I love you all, but lately I have felt like taking Brent and Audrey to an undisclosed location and starting fresh. Right now, I don't think I would care if I ever see other family members ever again. Again, this is just how I feel right now. I will probably take this back in the next hour. I know I am horrible for even thinking this, but I am sick of being looked down on for various things by various family members. Both our sides are guilty of this. BAD. And I'm pissed. There. I said it. Phew, that does feel better!
Brent is my sweetie though. I could tell he hated leaving me when he went in to work and I was sobbing over not having a car. While I was sniffling later on and cleaning up the kitchen, I saw that he had made some coffee for me. It's the little gestures of love. God has truly blessed me. Audrey is being real sweet today too. She is pretty much entertaining herself and not being whiney. I think she is enjoying staying at home today since we had been doing so much. She loves playing with her toy cars. That's what I'm watching her playing with while I am typing all of this out. She'll be getting pizza or a quesadilla for lunch. She is so flippin' cute and excited to see her Uncle Derek and Aunt Sarah this weekend!
It's one of those days today. I have been crying on and off since waking. Just feeling down. I am on my period, so that doesn't help. Almost everyone in our families are on my bad side. Those that I don't have issues with, just let me think about it for a while and I will think of one. Yes, that is just how I am feeling today. Sorry to any family reading this. I love you all, but lately I have felt like taking Brent and Audrey to an undisclosed location and starting fresh. Right now, I don't think I would care if I ever see other family members ever again. Again, this is just how I feel right now. I will probably take this back in the next hour.

Joyful Baby Planning
Yesterday, my good friend Kristina asked me to help her man her booth at a natural family expo here in town. She just started up a business called Joyful Baby Planning. I say just started up, but she's been doing this sort of thing for years now. She has this wealth of knowledge and you're "go-to" gal for all things baby. Anyway, thought I would send a shout out there in cyber space. Check her website out at www.joyfulbabyplanning.com! :)
