I'll take a COB hold the lettuce

Last weekend at my "Girls Weekend" Tiffany started talking about wanting a COB. Of course, us "city girls" had no idea what the heck she was talking about. Tiffany said we have to go get a COB in Union Springs. We got a little scared since Union Springs isn't known to be the safest place in Alabama, but we jumped in the truck and went on anyways. Tiffany had protection so that's all I cared about :) Anyways, we pull up to what use to be the "Chew and Chat" but has now upgraded to a "Churches Chicken". We pull up to order and Tiffany knew the lingo and everything, I about lost in. "I'll take 4 COB's 3 loaded 1 plain and a side of fried okra", came out of her mouth. I could barely breath I was laughing so hard. You had to be there to get the humor in it all but I wanted to share my COB experience with you all. Oh by the way, a COB is a Chicken on a bun. One bite and the grease just runs down the chin. The picture above does it no justice! Of course my COB was the plain one,if you know me that would be no surprise! The rest of the girls had some spicy sauce with lots of other nasty unimaginable things on it. So if you are ever in the great town on Union Springs stop in to the Chew-n-Chat and have yourself a COB!

JR'S NEW BABY

This is Violet. She is a full blood Rottweiler. A friend of mine had 7 of them and she was so nice to give me one to give to JR. JR has always wanted a big dog. Violet should be around 100-120 pounds full grown. She will be a true Diboll :) She got her name from wearing a purple collar and Kit( one of our good friends) thought we should name her Violet. JR liked that name so there you have it "Violet".



We still have the other two dogs. Yesterday they started playing with Violet, I think they were waiting to see if she was a keeper or not! Our last dog was gone after 3 days. She was NOT a keeper. She ended up having puppies after we get rid of her....and they said she was fixed!! The VET needs to go back to school, I think!! Anyways so we are back to training another dog. Who would have ever thought we would have 3 dogs in my house! Scary, I know :)

Updates

Zac is still playing basketball every Saturday. They won their game last week against his cousin's team! He is getting better he just needs to learn to get open and those boys need to give the ball to him more. He is the tallest guy on the team so he is more of a rebound boy but still, I would like to see him with the ball more.

Ali is still suffering from headaches. I had her at the Neurologist Monday and the doctor diagnosed her with Migraines. She did not give us any medicines to help when she did get the migraines so that was REAL helpful! Ali got her new glasses yesterday too, so hopefully that will help a little with the headaches. Can you believe she is starting to HATE school! When she told me that I was shocked! That girl use to love going to school and she couldn't wait to do her school work when she got home. Now, its like pulling teeth to get her motivated to get her Math done. We put the kids in a Private school thinking she would just love school even more but lately that is not the case. She told me the kids at ACA are not nice and they laugh at people if they make a mistake and if they are different. I said," isn't that every kid and every school"? I did think that at ACA since its a Christian school it wouldn't be as bad but I guess I was WRONG! Those kids might be a little more spoiled but it doesn't mean they have to make other children's life hell at school. Please pray for her.

JR is working hard and about to be Promoted to Captain. We are very excited about this promotion. I have been working on hard to plan this event along with Kit and Melissa. They have been great about everything. They are willing to make the food and be there for this special time in our life. We are truly blessed to have them in our lives right now while we are stationed back here. JR is also preparing to start working on his SOS course on-line. For you non-military readers it is basically a course you have to take once you are a Captain.

Me,well I am basically working everyday and dealing with all of the above. I am doing the low carb diet right now. I find my body feels better when I do low carb. I have lost 10 pounds so far. You cant tell but the scales can :) My goal is to loose about 30 more by summer time. We want to do some traveling this Summer back to Texas to visit Jennifer,Justin and Emma and hopefully (keeping my fingers crossed) to Washington to visit Barb,Travis and the munchkins. Life will be busy this Summer but that's good! This coming weekend I am going on a Girls Weekend Trip to a friends property out in the country. It will be a time for me to relax and enjoy the company of some great girls :) I will post pictures...maybe!

So there you have it, an update on what's going on here! Now everyone update your blogs!!
