Troops coming home?

I just like this picture... it makes me laugh!

This is important to me, now. If some of the troops are pulled out, that means that they will be sending less of them over, I think. Hopefully, it will mean Jordan can be shipped somewhere a little more safe when he leaves. He won't be going overseas until atleast March/April...so maybe this will affect him, too! Thanks for the story Shannon!

New Template??

I'm feeling really into fall right now! It is my favorite season ever!! I'm really excited to start wearing sweatshirts with shorts and long sleeved t-shirts. I also want to have campfires and drink hot apple cider! I'm pretty sure Lucy Mae will love playing in the leaves, too! Today was the first day that it actually started to smell like fall and I loved every second of it!! Even though, it is not officially fall until Sept. 23 at 5:51am... So, anywho, I wanted to change my blog to look fall-ish. This is the only one I could find.. I kinda like it!

What do you think???

Practical Magic

Ok, if you know me at all, you know that I love the movie Practical Magic! I'm actually a little obsessed. I want to be a witch real bad! But not the bad kind, the good kind...like in the movie! Anyway, in the movie, the Owens women(the witches) can light candles by blowing on them and I've always tried it (knowing, of course, that I couldn't....I just like the movie a lot, I'm not crazy). However, I was on this site earlier, and found these candles! I'm soo excited! As soon as I can scrounge up $12, I'm totally buying one!!
They are called LED Blow On/Off Candles. You just blow on them and they light.. who cares if it's not real fire... it's just the idea that I love! Plus they would be great to have in a school!

GOOOOO COLTS!!!

The Colts won their first game of the season last night!!!! They beat the New Orleans Saints 41-10!!! whoooo hoooo!!!
