Whoaaaa!!!! Say What-Say What.....

Okay I admit I kinda stink at the whole blogging thing, but in my defense I've been really busy! Between work and grad school crap I've been a busy lady.

Alright I promise I am going to try to keep up with my blogging for sure now! I saw my friend Rachel's post on facebook about her blog, and decided hmm I wonder when the last time I posted something...geez wow its has been too long.

Here is a quick run through of everything that has happened since September...

I'm an Aunt! Here is a picture of me and my nephew, Hayden! He was born on November 6th. Isn't he just darling! I ♥ him very much! Congrats to his wonderful parents Blair and Laura!



I also have been working SOOO hard on finishing my master's degree. Which is the main reason, besides laziness, why I haven't blogged since September. I only have one more class left! Wahooooooo! Only one! I'll be finished in at the end September! Yippee Skippee!

Several of my friends have gotten knocked up or had their precious baby! Congrats to Lauren (Elin), Lacey (Bella and Madelynn), Melanie (Amaris), Harper (Hannah Kate and Addison), and Rachel (Future Kipton or should I say K. B.). I know all of you are or are going to be fantastic mommies!

I've also been to two weddings. The first wedding was for Heather and Troy in ATL! The other wedding was for Sara and Neil in Houston! Congrats to all of you guys!


Wow everyone is just growing up so fast...

Ohhhh that reminds me, Evan and I have some good news to share too. As most of you already know Evan and I are expecting a baby. Our little nugget will be here on February 6, 2012.

How did we tell our families? Well, we drove up to Huntsville last Sunday afternoon. We just got both sets of grandparents together at their own house showed them the picture of the ultrasound. Nothing to creative or snazzy, but still special. I think my parents are in shock, and of course excited. Evan's mom screamed, and both were very excited. Later, we went over to Evan's Memaw's and Papaw's house and told the rest of the family. Since it was so late Sunday evening, and Evan had to go to work the next day we had to head back. So, I called both of my grandmothers to tell them the news, and Evan called Momma Brakefield to share the news. Evan was supposed to tell Blair on the way up to Huntsville, but they kept playing phone tag. So, we finally got a hold of him the next morning.

Evan and I found out that we were expecting on June 14th. The doctor thought that I was only four weeks because of my cycle, but my hormone level in my blood was very high he had some concerns and wanted me to come in for a sonogram to make sure everything is on the up and up! So, that next monday I went to the doc and yup we were seven weeks. Everything was great. Except he scared me half to death because he thought we were having multiples!!!!! Of course I would have been overjoyed either way, but still I was like NO FREAKING WAY! However, we have only one bun in the oven!

Here is our sweet baby at 7 weeks. It was amazing seeing the fast flicker of our baby's heart beat.




How big is our baby? About the size of a blueberry. Your Baby: Week 7
Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.--The Bump

Currently we are 8 weeks! How big is our baby? Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.--The Bump

How am I feeling? Well for the past two weeks I've experience morning sickness or more of all day sickness. I can only eat small meals throughout the day and I want to sleep all the time. Other than that, I've been blessed. I know it could be much worse. I am so thankful I'm not having to work at this time because I don't know how I'd make it through the day.

Have any cravings? None really. Well, I have been wanting alot of fruit like cantelope, honeydew, and watermelon. I have not wanted anything greasy or spicy because it makes me soooo queasy. Blah.

Am I showing? No. My body is reshaping, but I haven't gained a pound. I've actually lost a few (not too many) because of I've been a little sick. I will post pictures soon as my belly begins to grow.

Next week we will be on our vacation in Key West! Wahoo can't wait!

Well, lets see. I am ready for FRIDAY! I am ready for Friday because Evan and I are going to mobile with Matt and Harper. Matt and Evan are going to go play golf, and Harper and I are going to pamper ourselves by getting a spa treatment and by going shopping. Well, not so much shopping for me as it is looking! HAHA! Money is getting tight around these parts because it is just one thing after another.

I mean really?! WHAT ELSE IS GOING TO BREAK IN THIS STINKING HOUSE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIX AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! That is pretty much how I feel just about every time I step foot in my house. Sheesh. What are we doing you ask? Well, lets see. Granted our house is a 1960s model house and I know that even newer houses have maintenance issues too. That's part of owning a house...yeah yeah...I GET IT! BUT, really!?!?! We have replaced just about every light fixture in our house, we have put lattice on our deck, pressure washed our drive way, painted the front porch, replaced the windows, replaced just about every faucet in our house, and this past weekend we replaced our water heater. BUT there is still SO much more to fix! We are going to rip up the carpet in the blue room and remodel it (we are moving the office to that room and it will be totally Evan's space). Then, we are going put on a new roof and eventually put hardwood floors down.
Anyway these are just plans..We will see what happens...

Well, I'm off to PTO! Yea for jeans tomorrow!

On my way to see BaMa Play...in Arizona that is....

SO HOW GREAT WAS THAT GAME? AMAZING? Yes! NO, not the Auburn game who squeaked by with a win against Mississippi State. I ask why didn't Mississippi State win, oh that's right it's because their Mississippi State! Oh well, I'm talking about the Alabama Vs. Penn State game.

I was SO excited to know that Evan bought us tickets to go see Bama beat Penn State. I really wanted to go to this game because I have never seen a Big Ten team play before and it just seemed like a classic vintage game to go to. PLUS Joe Pa was there! GUESS what? I got to see him up close! yea! After the game he was leaving and we saw him being escorted. I looked in the van to see who it was and there he was all hunched over, sad in defeat! So Cool. We also wanted to go this game because it was our anniversary weekend. Today Evan and I have been married for two happy years. Well, somewhat happy....hahahahah j/k! I ♥ him.

Well, no more parking at the old apartment. They sold all of their spots to stinking RVers! :P BUT we found new parking at Canteberry or Ghettoberry as Evan calls it. Yea! Saturday, was SO hot. It was almost unbearable. Then it just had to rain. I mean the stinking bottom fell out. EVERYONE was soaked. Luckily, Evan was on top of his game and brought an umbrella with him. So, we didn't get soaked!! :) We waited out this "storm" in the locker room store (which btw is EXTREMELY OVER PRICED).

My favorite part of the game was when there was a double fumble. To be honest, Alabama did not play to their full potential which I was a little bit disappointed in seeing. BUT lets face the facts, we spanked a top twenty team. Our Heisman trophy running back was on the sidelines due to an injury and one of the SEC's top pass rushing defensive linemen was on the sidelines due to suspension. With all that mess going on we were playing against a BIG TEN opponent, yet NO ONE WAS WORRIED ABOUT US LOOSING. I mean really how awesome is that?!! Yes, I am Katherine Osmer and I am A BAMAER! Oh yea, I said it's great to be from ALABAMA...the school where dreams come true. Because we are the champions........OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRLLLLLLLDDD.

All I know is that you better look for me on TV at the 2010 National Championship Game in AZ because BAMA's kicking butt and taking names AGAIN. ROOOLLLL TIIIIDEE!

After we got home from the game, Evan washed and detailed my car! How sweet is he?! Well, tonight is our anniversary and I'm off to get ready! Hopefully, we are going to get some gooooood sushi!

School School School

Well, sorry I haven't blogged in a while for those of you who actually read my blog. I have been extremely busy with none other than SCHOOL.

School finally started on August 9th. Then the next Monday, grad school started. Our school is still foregoing construction. At this point I am not sure when it will be finished, but I hope soon. I feel isolated from the rest of the school (Our hallway is by itself) and before the construction we always had alot of traffic, but now we have NONE! It is nice and quiet! :)

Grad school for the first semester is going to be just fine. I think I picked two good classes to ease into my first semester, especially since I am working full time, tutoring, and trying to have some sort of life. Next week Evan goes back to D.C. :( , but I think I will be able to get ahead with my school work.

I am SO excited about P90X! I love it! BUT it is ExTrEmE! BUT I LOVE IT! Seriously....it kicks butt! I've been doing it for 14 days, and I can already tell a difference! YAY! I just want results that the gym wasn't giving me. I mean I feel like I was somewhat fit and/or active because I was going to the gym, but now I really can't wait till the end of my 90 days! I really think this workout program is going to work!!

On a house note....We FINALLY got NEW Windows! Yay! Window World did an awesome job! We have also been able to mark some other things off of our To-Do list. I think this weekend, we are going to start cleaning out the dah dah dunh...*blue room* <~ I hate the blue room with the Easter basket bathroom! I mean really, who puts lilac tile down? Yes, LILAC! YUCK! I hate our bathrooms, even with improvements they still stink. Those rooms need to be torn up and re-built, BUT that costs too much money and we need other things before new bathrooms. Whatever. I still hate them. Yes, I HATE my bathrooms and I don't care who knows it! BLAH.

I have come to the conclusion, that I am not settling on certain stuff anymore. I can have my cake and eat it too. At least, for a little while. I mean good grief. Why should I have to settle? I have don't have any kids yet nor do I have a lot of bills, why not carpe deim? Chill. I'm not saying I'm going to go out and buy a yacht, but if the time and money was right...maybe I'd consider it. Only kidding here. I am also not saying, that life is passing me by. It's just I only get one life, and I want to do it right. I've DONE EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK THUS FAR. I've graduated from high school, went to college, got a great job, got married, now I'm going back to school to continue my education,what's next? Whatever is coming my way, I just want it to be exciting...whatever it is!

Anyway! September is going to be a huge month! We're busy like every weekend! The 11th is Penn State and Our 2 year anniversary on the 13th. The 17th is going to be SUPER EXCITING because I have George Strait and Reba McEntire Tickets! YAY! I can't wait to see George again! The last weekend we are going to Mobile with the Basquills! YAY! I can't wait.

Pitty Party :(

So, it is August 4, 2010 and school starts August 9, 2010. I have not been able to get into my classroom because of construction. UGH. Did I mention meet the teacher is FRIDAY NIGHT!

Oh BTW! Evan gets home Friday night around 11PM. YAY! Although, he is gonna have to work with me in my classroom ALL weekend because I will have a room full of kids on MONDAY and our room is BARE! Did I mention that he leaves AGAIN on MONDAY to Tuscaloosa for two weeks, and the GONE AGAIN to Washington D.C. for another week. I really do love his job, but sometimes I wish he had a "normal" 9 to 5 job and came home to me EVERYDAY! I know, I know this makes us stronger as a couple, BUT I just miss him terribly. I mean really, people just don't understand what this is like. Military wives and families inspire me so much. I am truly blessed and thankful and I know I shouldn't be complaining.

Anyway, every night for the past three nights I have woken up at 3AM and have not been able to go back to sleep until almost 5AM. SHEESh. Don't ask me why either. I think I just have too much on my mind to sleep, and I started reading a new book!

I'm looking forward to seeing my darlin! I can't wait for Alabama Football to start! AHHH ROLL TIDE! Oh and I am gonna try to get George Strait and Reba McEntire Tickets!! They will be in B-ham 9-17-10!! That would be an awesome show. I've seen George before and he was AMAZING!

WAHHOOOO P90X will be here today! YIPPEE!! I might not be singing that same song later tonight, but I am ready to see more results. The gym just isn't cuttin it. I am also gonna make Evan do this workout with me! No more pie and bbq for him! hehe :)
