Snow and Neal Updates

So, it is suppose to start snowing tomorrow night through Sat night. They at first said that it wouldn't be a lot. Then they said we will get about 4 to 7 inches. Now they are saying 5 to 8 inches. Only tomorrow will tell what will happen.


For the past week or two Neal has been sick. Just a cold though. Has the runny nose, so so sleepy, and boy has he been cranky. In the  midst of all of this he got another tooth. We are now at 7 total. I'm sure in a few days he will have 8 because he has been getting them two at a time. He has been getting a bit more brave and is starting to let go of the furniture while standing. He does pretty good sometimes and others not so great. We are working with him and I almost can't wait for him to start walking.

R.I.P Brandon Grimm

Last night at about 1am there was a really back car accident just up the road from my house. 3 people were involved, 2 males and 1 female. One person was ejected from the vehicle (one of the males), the female was pinned between the car and a tree. She was the one who called 911. The other male was trapped in the car. Brandon was D.O.A (aka Dead on Arrival). The female, who was his girlfriend, and the other male was rushed by helicopter to MCV in Richmond, VA. Although I did not personally know these three, it makes me very sad. I went to school with all three of them. Brandon graduated in 08, his girlfriend in 09, and the other male in 08. I graduated in 07. I remember seeing Brandon in the halls and in Wal-Mart where I use to work. I'm sending prayers to his family. His uncle is a fireman for our fire department. My prayers are also going out to the females and the other males families. One is doing ok while the other is in critical care. I left the other two names out because I did not feel it would be best considering what state they are in right now. I was up when this happened and I listened to all of the transmission that came across the scanner for this accident. It really has me upset.

It's Been awhile

I can't remember the last time I was on here.. I can't remember if it was before or after Christmas. lol. Well Neal is 9 months old now. A few things have happened in the past week or so. Neal has been saying mama. Not often but he still says it. The other day he was on his knees pushing a diaper box across the living room. It was too cute and I wish I could have gotten a picture but by the time I had thought of it he had already stopped playing with the box. ALSO! I am so proud of my little man. He is turning into a toddler. lol He is very quickly leaving behind that baby stage. Yesterday, Jan. 8, 2010, He stood on his own without holding onto something! I was blown away lol. I knew it was coming but I didn't know when. I was so happy to see him do this on his own. I hope to work on it some more to where he will be doing this for long periods of time. Well.. I think thats all I am going to update for the moment. I will try to update more often. Have a good week everyone!

Phew The Holidays are Over!

I am so happy that the holidays are over. It has been one crazy week. I'm gonna try to put this down the best that I can. Dec. 24, 2009: My plans that day were originally to go to Neal's fathers for an early Christmas and then home for a bath and then to my Aunts for the Christmas eve party. Kenny, Neal's father, had to reschedule the visit for the day after Christmas. He had to do some shopping. The pretty much opened my entire day up. I instead took the time to clean up some things, do laundry, get a shower, and get ready for the Christmas eve party. Around 8pm we arrived at my Aunts house. We had an awesome time. Neal stayed up quiet late, 3 hours past bedtime. He got a pair of pajamas to wear that night and Christmas morning, and a few toys. Dec. 25, 2009: That was a crazy day. I had no Idea it was going to be as crazy as it was. We woke up at 9am. Thats when we started unwrapping presents. Neal got many toys and a bunch of clothes. I got some clothes and a new webcam (YAYNESS). At 12pm Grandma Donna came over to visit Neal and give him Christmas presents also. He got a couple of toys and a lot of clothes. She stayed for about an hour before leaving. At that time I was suppose to go to Dave's for Christmas there but Jimmy and Jessie (Brother and Sister In Law) showed up Just as I was about to get Neal dressed. We opened the gifts that they had for Neal which was a toy and some pajamas. After that I got Neal dressed we left for Dave's. I got there a bit after 2pm. Neal got quiet a bit from Grandma Milee. Baby food fruit flavored, some puffs strawberry apple flavored, a push and ride toy, and some more toys. I got a new jacket, contact solution which I was needing, a new tooth brush, electric, and a bunch of other stuff. At about 4pm we left Dave's to return to my house for dinner at 4:30pm. Dave did go but drove separate. When we got to the house it was packed. People everywhere. There was my grandma, my mom, my dad, my stepdad, my two brothers, my sister in law, my niece, my step-dad's step-mom and dad, his cousin, me, dave, cousin ricky and Neal. I ended up with a headache from all the mayhem. After everyone left and Neal went to bed I played a bit on the computer before going to bed myself. I ended up with a real bad migraine. Dec. 26, 2009: Around 2pm I took Neal to see his father. He had gotten him some clothes. We stayed there for about 2 and a half hours before having to leave. We had other plans at 5pm. Dave got off work at 5pm and we were suppose to meet up at my house to go to his friend Bryan's house for a late Christmas get together. We had a great time. Neal stayed up late again. We got home a little bit after midnight. Dec. 27, 2009: Happy Birthday! I turned 21. For my birthday we went to the movies to see New Moon from the Twilight Saga then we went to dinner at The Olive Garden. I had a blast. Neal was watched by my sister in law Jessie. He done very good. No fussing or anything. At around 8pm him and my niece Jillian had fallen asleep. We got home at almost 10pm. We had an awesome Christmas. Better then I could have hoped for.
