Baby Tuggle

Hey I just wanted to let you guys know that I went to see Tonya and Nadia today. Nadia is absolutely adorable. I can definitely see both Tonya and Eric in her. She was so good the whole time I was there. She is even sleeping good at night (for a newborn). Tonya seems to be doing great also. Their new house is beautiful and Nadia's room was so cute. They only live about 5 minutes or less away from us now!

Where the crap is everyone?

Give an update all!

BBQ?

So anyone have big plans for Memorial Day Weekend? I'll be attending a few graduation parties (free food...yum!) and doing the usual family BBQ on Monday.

My bro just had his tonsils out (after a semester of them being infected) so he'll have a few weeks of recovery ahead. On the up side he could be really fun at the family BBQ if he's on pain meds!

Oh, Baby!

I just got word from my bro (who is good friends with Justin Tuggle) that Tonya had her baby on Saturday. Her name is Nadia and I saw some really cute pictures of her. Apparently her labor, from water breaking to Nadia entering the world, was only 3 hours - lucky. Yippee for them. Just a few more babies in the next 6 months...

Hilarious Story

Ok, so I wake up at 3:00 Thursday morning and thought to myself, I'm pregnant. I just totally thought that I was. I felt like it, and I was 3 days late. So.. I can't go back to sleep. As soon as Kaitlyn wakes up, we make a trip to Walgreens for the good ol' fashioned pregnancy test. Take it home, pee, and get a positve result. Holy crap. So I go along the whole day feeling all sorts of emotions. (Quick update: we are not preventing pregnancy, but not necessarily trying). So I call and tell James and he is totally excited. I didn't tell anyone else, because we are not exactly settled in our lives right now. My parents would be like, "What the freak? Do we need to remind you that you are living with us?" So anyway.... I go to bed Thursday night and wake up around 4:00 AM bleeding really bad. Lovely. I waited until 7:00, then woke up my mom and told her the news. She freaks out of course, tells me to lay down and goes to call her OB/GYN. The doctor asked me if I happened to have another preg. test. I did, so I took the second one. Still, appeared to be a positive result. The doctor asked me to describe the test to him, to which I got a little annoyed and said, do you not think I know how to work one of these things? I already have one kid!!! Background: The pregancy test I took with Kaitlyn had two little windows, and if you had a line in each one it was positive and just one line meant negative. I thought I bought the exact one I took when I was preg. with her. I had two lines. Then the sarcastic doctor asked me the name of the test and I said Fact Plus. To which he replied, "So, is there a PLUS SIGN in ANY of the windows??" To which I said "Damn. Nope." I have never felt dumber and probably never will feel more stupid than I did right then. So, so much for that January 14, due date. (Yes, I had already looked it up) Better luck next month.

Summer Plans

Anyone have any exciting summer plans yet? Okay, having a baby would be on the list for sure but any trips, etc. coming up?

I'll be doing some backpacking, hanging out in the mountains a bit and maybe go on some family trip at the end of the summer. If I'm lucky maybe there will be some fun road trip opportunities that come up too.

Finally, I'm Back!!

So after being out of town a bunch and a little problem with "blogger support" I'm finally back in action here with you guys again!

In the last 6 weeks I've been to Juarez, Mexico on a mission trip with the high schoolers; to the mountains for a middle school retreat where the high schoolers are "work crew" or as I'd like to say labor for the weekend; and back to the mountains for a staff/elder retreat. I'm glad that the weather is getting warmer because I finally get to stay home for a while!

This weekend I'll be getting plants for my back deck (this will be the first year I've done any of the gardening-type stuff) and maybe some spring cleaning if I feel like it. My bro is coming back from ACU next week to finish his thesis from home before he goes back in July to have it looked over before he defends it this fall...such the nerd of the family. My little sister will be moving up to the high school youth group in June when we bump everyone up - that's going to be a little strange at first I think (she's a little too cool for the world right now, a reality check may be coming fast).

That's about it for me, I'll actually be able to communicate with you all again through this so I'll be back in the loop!

Update on everyone

Please speak to me people. How is everyone? Leslie - is Lubbock all you wanted it to be and more?
