More House Pictures

Here are some more pictures of the progress. The house is completely "blacked in" and they are starting to shingle and brick the house at the end of this week! YAY! Once that is done things should move a lot quicker. My Dad and his workers are doing an amazing job. I must say, we do have the best and one of the most experienced contractors in the MS. He has been in business for over 30years, and he is the best! If you are interested in a house or building a custom home or remodeling a current home, I highly recommend him. ;)

New House

Our house is coming along GREAT! We are so excited to watch it from start to finish. We are hoping to move in the middle of January, so we will be at the apartment with Anne Cambria for about 6 weeks. But considering she will be a newborn, she will not need too much space, so we should be fine. :) Here are some pictures of the progress of our future home!

Slacker

So lately, I have been slacking on posting. I am in my 34th week of pregnancy and I am tired. Not as tired as I was the first 12weeks of pregnancy, but tired none the less. I think it has to do with the fact that I am on a neurology rotation at NMMC and I feel like I make 10 laps around the hospital daily. But, I only have 2 weeks left on this rotation and then I am out for Thanksgiving/Christmas break! I have 2 weeks between the end of rotation and Anne Cambria's arrival (unless she decides to come early). A lot has gone on the past few weeks. I had my second baby shower, we went to Memphis to the new, large BabiesRUs and finished out everything we didn't get at showers for Anne Cambria, and we had our usual Grove time last weekend. I am in the process of putting all the pictures on my computer, so I will have some up soon. And I am going to upload some pictures from the 3D/4D sonogram. :)

As everyone knows, Ole Miss finally picked an "on field mascot". And its embarrassing and humiliating. I hate it. I would rather not have one. It is stupid and has nothing to do with Ole Miss. So, when people mock us for choosing a BLACK bear as a mascot, I agree. It doesn't offend me or make me mad. I just wish Ole Miss would take away the stupid bear and let us be the Ole Miss Rebels withOUT an on field mascot. Who cares about an on field mascot anyways?!?! Colonel Reb will always be my mascot, and the bear will be ignored (I guess until Anne Cambria screams for an ole miss teddy bear in the Rebel Shop ha). Anywho, I just needed to post one more rant on how awful of a decision the administration made.

Ole Miss "Mascot"

Everyone knows the situation with Colonel Reb being taken away, and now Ole Miss fans are being forced to stomach one of the nauseating new mascot options. The original 10-11 options were all embarrassing, and "they" have now narrowed it down to 3 finalists:
1. A Bear
2. Landshark
3. Hotty Toddy

All three of which are awful. They are stupid and have absolutely NOTHING to do with Ole Miss tradition or the school (except possibly Hotty Toddy but "hotty toddy" is a saying...not a person). I just wonder what the mascot committee members are really thinking?? Do they actually like these options themselves, or are they just crumbling to the pressure from all the idiots that wanted to get rid of Colonel Reb so Ole Miss fans can "unite"??? Well, getting rid of Colonel Reb definitely did NOT unite Ole Miss fans. I think it drove an even bigger divide among us. And on top of that, we now get to be embarrassed by pathetic mascot options. Here are the depictions of what each possible mascot might look like:

All three options make me cringe. I just felt like venting. I'm sure everyone in the SEC and the country can get a good laugh out of Ole Miss's mascot options.
