Just call me Karah, P.I. (Private Investigator)

This past weekend I get a phone call from my bffe whom we will call K. D. and she is screaming on the phone and crying obvisouly upset. I was in the tanning bed, so here I am rushing to get dressed and get out of the tanning bed so I can figure out whats going on. Apparently she had caught her so called boyfriend talking to another girl. She had called his cell phone and it picked up and she heard a girls voice but nobody actually answered the phone, so she hung up and called back. At this time he would not answer his phone but he texted that he was at Lowes. K.D. ends up driving over to his house just to see whats going on and her so called boyfriend whom we will call C.B. was not there. She asks his sister where he is and she says oh hes out golfing with U.B. (thats what we will call her, the other girl). Well at this point my friend is super pissed so she gives his sister this ring that C.B. had given and says tell him he can have his ring and its over. Im at chickfila and we are texting back and forth and I tell her wouldnt it be funny if we showed up out at the golf course. *Side note: C.B. had just taken my friend to the golf course on Thursday and they had so much fun* So she texts me back and says take me there now. Im like are you serious, and she says yes. We meet at her apt and we are driving out to the golf course and shes telling me to drive faster, she was shaking she was so mad. We get out to the golf course and sure enough there he is with U.B. and his little brother out on the driving range. We park the car and sit and watch every move they make. She couldnt decide whether she should go otu there or not but we just decided to sit in the car and watch. Well about 15m in later they were packing up there things and walking straight towards my car. All of sudden C.B. looks straight at my car and K.D. just smiles and waves, at this moment he immediately changes his path that hes walking, so we know that he saw us. His friend R.R is still walking straight towards the car and when he gets close enough K.D. rolls down the window and says he R.R. how ya doing? His mouth literally drops open and he doesnt know what to say. Well C.B. gets his car and never comes over and says anything so we just drive off. It was very sad for my friend, but we were laughing at the same time because it was kind of fun. We said we should become P.I. from now on. *another side note, when K.D. rolls down the window, i pull my baseball cap over my eyes and start slouching down in the seat because I didnt know what to do....haha. It was a fun adventure but sucked for my friend, but Im glad she got to see it with her own eyes. I knew I didnt like this boy from the beginning, there was just somehting about him. I guess my intuition was right!! A BFFE can always tell if a boy is right for their friend or not, sad part is she is deeply in love with him and doesnt know what to do : ( She cant just cut him off because she has true feelings even though at this time she is broken. Allright I guess thats all for today, just wanted to share my P.I. story with ya. Tomorrow is my birthday....YEAH!! I will be 25, man Im getting old.

The Weekend War

I am sitting at work with a million things running through my head. Hmmm which subject should I decide to blog about today. I know its been a few days since my last post, sorry about that but life has been extremely busy lately. I have been out of town just about every weekend since April. Crazy huh.....I have had baby showers, wedding showers, engagement parties, weddings, and other engagements out of town. I feel like I have no time to myself or with my husband. As I said before he is starting his own party rental business so he has been busy with that. When Im gone on the weekends he is busy setting up chairs and tables for weddings so he is unable to join me on my many adventures. Even though I see him every night I have been missing him terribly. We havent had a weekend lately where we can both just lay in bed with nothing to do and it wont be anytime soon either. This is the busiest time for The Main Event with all the weddings and such. (By the way if you need any item for a party give him a call 632-6400) Needless to say this brings me to why I was angry this weekend. I had a wedding to go on Saturday in Houston and had to leave by 3 to get there on time. I had told Todd earlier in the week that I wanted him to go with me because I didnt want to go by myself. All day on Saturday I was calling him asking him what all he had left to do so I could make sure he made it home in time. Well he ends up saying he doesn't want to go to the wedding and have to stay the night and blah blah blah!!! He says hes a homebody and I should know that, well I do know that but still I just wanted to spend a little time with him. It was about 3 15 when he got home and he decided to clean the kitchen. Are you kidding me??? cleaning the kitchen when he knows I want him to go to this wedding with me. So I pack my bag and tell him I love him even though I am extremely mad at this point and leave. OMG!! All i wanted to do was spend some time with my husband, is that too much to ask for??? I was really more hurt and upset than mad. Let me say it was a beautiful wedding and Todd would have loved it. It was just his style, very traditional, pipe organ and all. I decided I would send him a little text telling him what a beautiful wedding he missed and that I was still mad. Well lets just say I didnt stay mad for long. We texted back and forth and he just always puts a smile on my face. I never stay mad at him.

I love him so much and he makes me the happiest person. He brings out the best in me and has taught me so much. He makes me look at life in a different perspective. Gosh I just love that man so much, he is wonderful!!! I am one lucky girl to have such a great husband that loves me for who I am and treats me the way I should be treated.

I look at some of my friends who put up with so much crap from their boyfriends/significant other and I am just like why do you stay with that person. If you are not their number one priority and dont treat you with respect then they obviously dont know what love is. Dont stay in a one sided relationship, because you will wake up 20 years later and wonder why you did. There are good guys out there. I found my prince charming and I know you can too : )

I guess that is all for today, just wanted to write a little about my weekend and brag about my hubby. Even though he may not be perfect, he is really close to it!!! He brings so much joy to my life and just last night sitting on the couch watching The Bachelorette with him, I was so happy and couldnt ask for a better moment. Then we had a tickle war and he screamed like a girl!!! haha, I WON!!

Babies, Babies Everywhere but here

Everytime I turn around someone is getting pregnant!! So unfair.... I mean not that I want kids right now but then sometimes I do. Everytime I hear someone is having a baby I get what they call baby fever. I cant help it, when all my friends and family are having babies. Sometimes I can even get a little obsessed with it. I look at all kinds of baby websites, baby clothes, baby bedding, baby furniture, and then I search all their registries. Hahaha.... Im officially CRAZY I know!!! They are just so darn cute and I love baby stuff. I really cannot wait to start a family some day. I know when the time is right though God will bless us. Todd says he only wants 2 kiddies, but I can see me with a whole bunch of kiddos. I have always wanted to have a large family. Todd is just starting a new business so we definately need to get that settled before having kids. Todd and I also enjoy just being with each other. We have so much fun together and we love to travel, so sometimes Im like I just want to be selfish right now and have him all to myself : ) Thats okay right??? to be selfish and have him all to myself.

I guess I told one little fib, we do have a kid Bently our dog. He is our kiddo for now and he is a handful let me tell you. He is enough responsibility at the moment. We are going through a no sleep phase at the moment where he is starting to bark in the middle of the night. Its driving me crazy as I am not able to get my beauty sleep. I guess I should say maybe its getting me ready for when I do have a baby, although I will differently then because it will be my child and not a dog!! He is fun to have around though, even though I swear he has ADD. I think he was the runt of the family or dropped on his head because he really isnt that smart. Gotta love em though ; )

OK so back to the baby thing....Todd and I went to eat at Morales tonight and got a wonderful suprise while we were there. His cousin Mark and Callie walked in and joined us for dinner, even though we had finished our meal. We still sat around and talked and let me tell you they have the cutest little girl ever. Yep my neice Caroline is an absolute doll and she loves her Aunt Karah. She was just dancing and talking and smiling. I think she might get her dance skills from her daddy and Uncle Todd. Everyone knows they can dance it up at any wedding. Anyways there was a baby boy in there about Carolines age and she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. Only 8 months old and already a flirt. They were waving at each other and talking baby talk.....it was so stinking cute. On Memorial Day weekend we had all of our friends over with there babies. We had a house full of kiddos and I played with all of them and held them all. I was in heaven. It was nice having a house full of kiddies playing around and talking. When everyone left it was so quiet and kind of sad : ( I think they had fun too. **So note to our friends and family if you ever want a babysitter dont hesitate to call. Im available anytime.

My sister in law is 5 weeks away from having her baby girl and I cannot wait. She is going to be so spoiled rotten. Acutally she is already spoiled and she is still in the womb. Also my cousin Sarah who introduced me in Todd is due in Sept. Although I wont be able to be there for the birth because she lives in Pennsylvania, I cannot wait to meet little Addy. We are going to have a house full of girls and it will be so much fun at Christmas when the whole family is together. Allright I guess thats all for tonight. Im sure my day will come but for right now I will be content as Aunt Karah.

A few more pics of Todd and his dance skills.....

Sorry I just couldnt resist.....

Touch, Step, Snap.......Repeat

Ok you are probably wondering what in the world my title is all about... Last night Todd and I went to dinner with our wonderful friend K. Marlin. She usually comes into town at least once a month and we always try to meet up. We were all craving a good slice of some dead cow so we headed on over to Hole In One. By the way if you have never eaten there, its about time you head on over. Everything on the menu is wonderful and they definately have the best steaks in Lufkin. We had a great dinner while Todd and Kristin reminisced of the past and talked about whether or not they would be attending the 10 year reunion. You would think that the conversation would be boring to me....WRONG!! Even though I didnt grow up here I feel like I know everyone Todd ever went to high school with, so needless to say I chimed in on the convo as well. We had delicious food, great company, and a good glass of wine....or two. After dinner we headed back to the Chateau Stracener for a night cap. Once again we were talking about the past and when Kristin was headed out Todd decided to show us his AWESOME dancing skills. (If you know my husband you know his dancing skills haven't always been the best) He showed us how he finally mastered the box square...haha. He also said remember this move(the step touch) except he was saying touch when he stepped and said step when he touched. It was halirious, but maybe one of those things you just had to be there for.

I love my husband more and more everyday and he is always making me laugh. I think that the one key thing for a relationship is to be able to laugh. He really is HALIRIOUS!!! So the title of this blog goes out to Kristin....good times were had last night. See ya next month : )

P.S. I have so much I could blog about write now, I could seriously blog about 3 times a day. To save everyones sanity though I promise this is all for tonight because Im probably boring you to death.

**Here are a few pics from our latest dance moves......

Joining the Blogging World

So here I am about to join the blogging world. I can't believe I am giving in to this crazy thing. I read everybody else blogs yet I dont have one of my own so I figured how unfair of me. I dont have a baby or pregnancy to blog about, or wedding planning so I figured I would just blog about life in general. You might think I start rambling at times because I have never been much of a writer, so give me a break. I promise my blogs will get better as I become more experienced in this blogging world. I am not one to write down my feelings or write down whats going on in my head, but guess what guys I am about to start. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I hope to enjoy writing it and sharing my life with friends and family. I feel as though I will enjoy this new part of me I am about to take on....blogging that is. I promise to blog frequently and posts pics and make my blog cuter as I figure out how this whole thing works. Well I guess thats all for now considering I am at work and need to take care of my pt (short for patient).

*Side note- Excuse all the medical abbrevations, I am nurse it comes to me naturally.
