3 THINGS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT ME

MckLinky Blog Hop post for July 14th, 2009

1. I have 1 sibling, a sister. Her name is Heather and she is 4 years older than I.

2. I am a country music fan! I rarely listen to anything BUT country.

3. I have a very strong love/obsession with pit bulls. I know everyone thinks they are vicious killers, but I firmly believe it is all in how they are raised. I currently have 2 little bullies named Zeus and Apollo.

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy blog hopping everybody!!

My Old Kentucky Home

Custody court is now 4 days away and it's back to Kentucky I go. It feels like I have made a million trips back to Kentucky in the last 16 months. The trip is 5 hours long and it no longer seems that long. It's like it's just a hop, skip, and a jump away. But I am still dreading the trip back simply for the fact of the unknown. I have no clue what is going to happen in court and it is really scary for me. But at the same time, I can't wait to go back to my hometown and see all the buildings and people that are familiar to me.

I was looking online tonight at pictures of Kentucky in general and also pictures of Paducah, which is where I grew up. I guess you don't see the actual beauty of where you live until you aren't there anymore. Kentucky is a GORGEOUS state! Maybe it's just because it is my hometown, but maybe not. I thought I would add some pictures here to see what what my visitors think about it. Let me know if Kentucky is as beautiful to you as it is to me.

The Courthouse (where I will be on Friday):

The bridge going over the Ohio River (My future Mother In Law HATES going over this bridge, LOL):


This is the floodwall that was handpainted. It is truly a work of art:

These are some of the old buildings in Downtown Paducah:

And my all time favorite, the train. I remember playing inside acting like I was the conductor when I was little. It was SO much fun!:


These are just pictures of other places in Kentucky, not necessarily in Paducah, that I thought were pretty:






OK, sorry this post is such a long one. I just can't get over the beauty of "My Old Kentucky Home".

Changes Coming Soon

I am SUPER excited!! A few days ago I entered a contest for a custom FREE blog header designed by Stepfanie and I received an e-mail just a few hours ago telling me I WON!!! I can't believe it!! I never win ANYTHING!! I can't wait to see what she can design for me. She is really good!

She is also running another contest for a custom bag that is super cute! You should go HERE and check it out. Maybe you will win it!! You better hurry though. It ends tomorrow!! Don't miss out!


There are some more changes that may be happening soon, but not in the blogger world. It's too early to say anything yet though. HA! I am going to leave you hanging for a little bit. I promise to fill you in as soon as I can. Trust me, I am DYING to spill the beans. I just have to wait a little bit longer. *sigh* Oh the joys of having an ex husband who is too caught up in your life to enjoy his own.

Wordless Wednesday

MckLinky Blog Hop *Favorite Photo*

This is a picture of my daughter Zoe and my fiance's nephew, Dakota. Zoe and Dakota met in March of 2008 and became the best of friends. They did everything together. They were playing in the playroom so I decided to take a few pictures. I walked in, got a few shots of them rolling around on their cars and then they decided to go in for a sweet kiss. Hopefully in 2 weeks they will be reunited.
