Changes and a new adventure!

It's been too long since I have written on here! I haven't even had a chance to put up beach pictures - and that was in July. Every night a lay in bed and think of all the blog posts I should be doing, but I'm not. I guess real life gets in the way sometimes.

Here is a quick rundown:

Change #1 - Andrew is a HEAD coach!! 


Tulane University came calling right when Andrew got back from a week in Scotland in mid-August. It all happened so fast!! They flew us down there...wined and dined us...and we said YES! It's a great opportunity for him to advance his coaching career at such a young age. Tulane is know for women's golf and the campus is absolutely beautiful! Makes UT look way to commercialized!!  He is already moved down and enjoying living on campus (like a college kid- lol) until we join him sometime this year (or early next). We have to sell our home here (any takers?) and take care of a few things - primarily finding somewhere to live down there. I never thought I'd leave Knoxville...especially for NOLA, but I am excited to see what this new chapter brings. Everything happens for a reason...

Here is their logo...I need some green!!



Change #2 - I got my back/leg fixed....sort of

Anyone who is close to me knows I've been having severe leg pain for about 6 months now. The unbearable kind. The kind that makes you cringe. Well, turns out, I've had a bulging disc (a big bulge the doc said). So I went in for surgery 2 weeks ago. There have been a few hiccups along the way, but I am starting to feel better each day. I go to PT twice a week to "stretch it out" and get my lower back stronger. We really, really, really wanna sibling for Coop, so in about 6 months I'll get released to start trying!! So excited about that :)

Change #3

My mom has moved in with me for about 6 weeks cause I can't pick up Cooper (see #2). It's working out great...I really don't know what I'd do without her here. She has helped me in more ways than one. Cooper loves his Nana and doesn't even bat an eye at me anymore! 

Change #4

Cooper is growing up so fast. I'm gonna dedicate an entire blog post to this, but he is learning and changing everyday! It's amazing! I love this age!! 

I'll leave you with this picture from PawPaw's Iphone...on the farm today...
