Random Updates

-I can't seem to stop smiling these days, and I can't seem to cease thanking my Savior for carrying me through these most difficult last three years. Thank you, Lord, for standing firm on Your promises to me! YOU are my everything, and I pray that I will ALWAYS give you all the glory! I have learned so much that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and I thank you for teaching me those valuable lessons...even in the most difficult of times. Praise You, my sweet Jesus!
-Macy goes to the vet tomorrow for her second round of shots since I have had her. I feel so sorry for her!!
-Lucy is spending the night with me tonight. She has been begging me for two weeks, so we are going to have a slumber party tonight!
-Trent's 1st birthday is rapidly approaching...June 14th!
-I am counting the minutes until I am in Columbus tomorrow. I can't wait to see my sweetheart! It's so hard being away from him, but we have the whole summer ahead that I can be there while I am off from work. I love this boy more than words could ever say!
-We had a great Memorial Day weekend at the lake. Mom, Dad, Brenton, Christa, Robbie, and I had a blast! We just chilled out, fished, went out on the boat, played cards, went shopping, and grilled out! It was so relaxing and much needed for all of us!
-Robbie and I had been shopping in Dick's Sporting Goods a couple of weeks ago, and I had saw a pink tackle box that I wanted, but I didn't get it. Robbie surprised me on Friday when he got to my apartment to leave for the lake...he had bought it for me, so I was decked out this weekend with my pink fishing rod that Daddy bought me and my pink tackle box from Robbie. Hey, you can still be stylish when you are fishing!
-I leave tomorrow for Columbus. I am going to cook dinner tomorrow night when I get there. Robbie's mom and I are going shopping on Friday while he is working. Friday night, Robbie and I are going to buy him some new dress pants for work. Saturday, I am going to Shelee's bridal shower at Robbie's parents' home and then he and I are going to stay down there for the night instead of driving back to Columbus and then driving back down there Sunday morning for church. It will just be easier this way. I love Robbie's family and look forward to seeing them all this weekend! They are just precious! :-)
-Macy stayed with Nana while we were at the lake this past weekend. They had a great time!
-I took a bunch of Macy's things...her carrier, two dresses, her overnight bag...to get monogrammed yesterday! I can't wait to see how they turn out!

My Robbie

I love this boy! Here are just a few reasons why:

1. He has the character of Christ and shows his love for me the same way that Christ shows His love for his church.
2. He makes me get on the road to go home before it gets dark, because he worries about me driving by myself at night.
3. He endures my many trips to the pet stores to buy new things for Macy.
4. He loves me just the way I am.
5. He never lets me pump my own gas.
6. He gives me sweet kisses on my forehead, and he's always reaching for my hand when we are in the car together.
7. Speaking of, he always lets me control the AC and radio in the car, and he always lets me have the remote control, too.
8. He has the sweetest family ever, and he treats them with respect and admiration.
9. He makes it his job to calm my fears and insecurities.
10. He makes random trips to the store for me.
11. He gets nervous about being around my Daddy, because he really wants them to have a good relationship.
12. He doesn't just tell me that he loves me, he SHOWS me that he does.
13. He says the most heartfelt blessings each time we sit down to eat.
14. He is the most amazing person that I have ever met in my life.
15. He has proved me wrong, because I never thought that a love like this truly existed! He is my dream come true! :-)

Columbus Bound

I am headed down to Columbus after school today to see my sweetheart. We are going to dinner with Robbie's parents tomorrow night. We'll go to church Sunday and then go eat lunch with his family at his grandparents' house. I am so looking forward to some time with my sweet Robbie! What a blessing he is to me, and I am so thankful that the Lord has brought him in to my life. I am amazed at this wonderful man. Next weekend, we will spend the weekend at the lake with my Dad, Mom, brother, and sister in law. We will leave on Friday and come back on Monday. We are really looking forward to this! :-)

Five school days are left. It is so hard to believe that I will soon be entering my third year of teaching. It seems like just yesterday that I was walking across the stage at KSU for my graduation. How time does fly! I am so ready for summer. I love my students and will miss them, but I know that we are all ready for a break. I am ready to have some days of rest and relaxation by the pool! Speaking of, I got TWO swimsuits last night at Aeropostale for $16 each!!! I was so excited for myself! There's nothing like a good deal!

Well, I'm off to Columbus for a weekend with my sweetness. I can't wait to see him! :-)

Macy's First Trip To The Vet!!!

Macy made her first visit to the vet on Friday after school. She currently weighs one pound and nine ounces. She is a real chunk, let me tell you! She is perfectly healthy! There was only one minor problem in that she has too much yeast in her ears. Our vet said that this is common with new puppies. He gave us some drops that he said should clear it right up. I have to do them morning and night, three drops each time. She has done really great with them so far. She is eating very well and sleeps great too. She has also done exceptionally well with using the potty outside; there have only been a couple of accidents. When we take her outside, she squats right down and takes care of her business. I have been so proud of her!

On another note, when I went to pick up Macy last week, there was only one girl left in the litter. Well, I sent pictures of Macy to my aunt and she showed them to her friend, Lisa, who she works with. Lisa went crazy and actually went on Friday and bought Macy's sister!!!!! So, Macy's sister lives just down the road from us now! They named her Bella Noelle Dobson and will call her Bella. She looks just like Macy, and I was so glad to hear that Macy's sister will have a great home!!! Lisa and I have already been chatting about getting them together for play dates! Haha! We think that they would really love that!!!

Macy has been such a blessing to me already, and I am so thankful to have her! She loves to snuggle right up close to me, which of course I have no complaints about! Brigsby is getting warmed up to her as well! Oh, and Trent just thinks that she is the funniest thing ever! He just laughs at everything that she does!

A Few Random Things Going On...

1. I adore my sweet, new friend Brittany. God knew we needed each other, and he placed us in each other's lives at the most perfect time possible. B-SQUARED!
2. 19 days of school left!
3. Mom and Dad got me, Bubba, and Christa new fishing gear for Easter! We are all ready for the lake at the end of May!
4. Cheer try-outs at WHS are this week. Looking forward to a great year!
5. Lauren and Lindy's 7th birthday is Thursday! I cannot believe it! How time flies!
6. Trent has been sick with a double ear infection. He is a lot better, but still not 100%.
7. I have been so excited to meet many new friends over the past two weeks. It's always great to meet new friends!
8. I am so thankful for MARY and the many lessons that I have learned from that sweet woman's life.
9. I am going to the Shine Down concert at the Tabernacle next Tuesday with Ben! Julie refused to go, so I'm going in her place! Haha! I love my "big bro" Ben!
10. The Duck Derby is coming up on May 16th- always love going to the Duck Derby!
11. I adore my family and friends who were there for me during one of the toughest weeks of my life just a couple of weeks ago. Everyone knew just what to say and when to say it.
12. I had a great time at the Dogwood Festival and the Sweetwater Festival with Brit (and our many new friends) last weekend!
13. I am loving the singles Bible study at Church of the Apostles. I have been the last two weeks with Brit and am absolutely loving it, learning so much, and meeting some awesome new people!
