Cheering on the "Dawgs"
John Davis tried his best to cheer on the Dawgs against Alabama, but Georgia just couldn't pull out a win. He was trying to show them his moves at Uncle Ricky's house, but Coach Richt obviously couldn't hear him! John Davis was also trying to talk some sense into his new friend Jessie as to why she had on that Bama cheerleader outfit.

Our 1st Family Goose Hunt
Keith has been after me to go hunting with him. I have always told him no because hunting for bargains sounds more of a hobby than hunting for birds, deer, ducks, etc. Well, I finally gave in because of John Davis. Every evening when the geese come in to our pond, John Davis runs to the window to watch them. Keith tugged at my heart strings and said that John Davis would love it. Well, we all put on our hunting gear (I had to wear Keith's camo) and headed off to a peanut field. Keith found us a perfect spot to camp out. John Davis and I loved eating the left over peanuts the farmers missed while Keith listened for geese. The best part of the hunt was not having to be quiet and this cow that came by to visit while we were there!

My 30th Birthday
My whole family went out to eat for my 30th birthday. I didn't want it to be a big deal, but I kept making comments about hanging on to 29. Well, Keith thought it would be funny to order me a black birthday cake with 30 candles. I thought the smoke alarm was going to go off at Old Mexico when I blew out the candles. I think now that I am 30 and thriving! Ha, ha!

Before I was a Mom.....
Before I was a Mom.....
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never been puked on...
Pooped on...
Chewed on...
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom...
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom...
I ne ver held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him/her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom...
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom...
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
