WHEW!

Y'all guys, ohemgee yall guys, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! It's ours. I can not begin to tell you the elation that we feel being in a home of our own! It is seriously the greatest. We have been going non-stop since closing, but we are like >< this close to having everything put away, organized, decorated.

Closing day was a little crazy, as the lender had the wrong totals on our 'cash due' so we had to get all that straightened out, but seriously, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if anything in our life went off without a hitch.

We closed on Friday, June 30th and got everything moved that day, got up at 4am on the 1st and headed to Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma for our annual 'get the hell out of town and be crazy with all my Arkansas peeps' trip. It was wonderful and a much needed escape from reality. We came back to Amarillo on the 5th, and have been wildly unpacking and getting settled since then.

We are madly, madly, MADLY in love with our home. It's quiet and peaceful. When the wind isn't blowing, you can literally hear the electricity buzzing from the pole at the road. We get to look at the skyline of Amarillo every evening and not be in the middle of town. The neighborhood is full of precious people, someone even came by and brought us brownies, and our littles have made friends already. It's perfect. We love it. I could go on for days.



We are grateful/thankful/joyful that we got to work with 29:11 Homes to get our dream home built for us. If you are looking, or thinking about looking to build, you should definitely contact them. And hey! They just revamped their website, and if you click on their name above, it will take you right to it.

I know I really owe you a longer update, but kids, I've still got stuff I need to get settled! More photos to be uploaded so you can take a peek at their work.

Chat Soon!

To the Man I Never Met

I think we would have been good friends, you and I. I would have enjoyed giving you hell about 'America's Team' and Tony Romo, even though your son has taught me to love and respect them. We would have watched football games, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I'm sure you would have teased me about being so uptight and anxious about the kids running around the house before dinners, cookouts, or during games. I wish I had gotten the chance to know you, Gary Sugar. In the last two years I have learned so many amazing facts about you. Most importantly, you were victorious. You were brave, courageous, selfless and stubborn. You raised two incredible men. “Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.”  ―  Shannon L. Alder You are missed. deeply. It's hard for me to even consider publishing those words, because I know that they don't even begin to convey the depth that you are l...

The Waiting Game

When I woke I realized I had been moved to a different room and Dr. Clouatre (Clue-art if you're wondering) was sitting in front of me. He informed me that he had already contacted two specialists that he would be working with for my twin pregnancy. 'I'm going to lose one, doc. We don't need a specialist.' In case I wasn't clear before, I want to state that I LOVE THIS MAN!!! 'You just never know what's really going to happen, Brittni. One day at a time.' I went on to ask about the odds of losing both babies when I miscarried Baby B, which was a huge mistake. I had a few questions, he had answers, we hugged, and I left the office feeling like I had just been given two beautiful babies and then stripped of them. I got in my truck determined not to tell anyone about the twins. I would just pretend like it was a normal pregnancy and then I could grieve in peace and private. Pssshhh, that lasted all of five seconds. I immediately called my (ex)...

When you just can't even...

So, I am typically a person who is completely and utterly against putting any size, shape or sort of dirty laundry on social media, which is why many people didn't even know when I was going through a divorce. I'm making an exception today, because frankly, I just can't even. I'm so bewildered, flabbergasted, confused, taken aback (insert EVERY synonym for any of these terms here) at a situation that took place today, so much so, that I JUST CAN'T EVEN. CAN'T. Do you ever have those days where everything goes wrong, or just seems so ridiculous that you are certain that at some point you are going to run into a wall that is painted to look like the sky because you know that you absolutely have to be on something like the Truman Show where everything is happening for someone else's entertainment? No, just me? Huh. Well, the last few months, I keep waiting for someone to jump out and shout "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!" It hasn't happened...
