Such Excitement...

A Big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Kristine and Davis on the arrival of their beautiful baby girl Kailey!

I have never been more excited to get a phone call from my sister then then I was on Saturday afternoon when she called to tell me the baby had arrived and it was a GIRL!!! woohoo I could finally buy something gender specific...which I did when I arrived at work. Sunday evening Julia and I headed down to the hospital to meet little miss podeszwa and she is a beauty. I think we were both super excited to get to hold her...definitely hard to pass her on because she is such a cutie pie! Kristine and Davis were like old pros when it came to the baby...I was quite impressed for only being parents for a day, they were super stars! Kailey is such a lucky little girl to have such great parents! I think what was especially exciting for me was that Kristine was my first old school church friend to have a baby, that I've actually gotten to go see in the hospital. We've had many friends from our youth days have babies, but unfortunately, they all live far away, so this was really special for me. I think Kristine and I go back to ohhh nursery together, so this was really awesome to see her now with her own little girl. So congratulations guys, we love you so so much and are so excited for your newly expanded family!!!!

My next excitement has to do with the upcoming school year... so we've applied to school and were playing the waiting game about interviews which was the next step in this process. We both had interviews at the mount, which went well...and then today Brandon and I had a fun 2 hours and a bit drive to St.FX for another interview for me. So I think that one also went really well...it was a group interview and I actually had a lot of fun at it. When I got home though I had the biggest surprise...Brandon was checking the message and he said that the mount had called for me...so I called Lynn back and she said that they would like to offer me a place in their Education program for this upcoming September!!!! It still doesn't quite feel real, but it's super exciting to know that we now have the potential to stay in the city. I really want to stay here and go to the mount...but we'll have to wait and see and weigh the options for our little family...but fingers crossed we get to stay here...I love my family O'Hearon and Bing side, and would miss them so much...I'll move if I have to but this offer to the program at the mount is definitely weighing the scales towards staying here. So wish us luck!!

Coronation Street is the next level of excitement for me, even though i missed it today. Sonja got me hooked on the show way way back in the day and now I hate to miss it. I know many of you are just thinking it's another soap opera...but its so much better...it's way more real...with people in every social class...real life problems...not everyone is rich and beautiful with perfect teeth...and they hangout in the local pub...not fancy restaurants...I just love the show. So anyway I get out of my interview today and Jeff had text messaged me to tell me that Ashley Peacock ( he is a character from the show who was in town for this meet and greet thing) was IN THE STORE TODAY...I'm sooooo jealous. He got an autograph for me and he got his picture taken with Ashley...so I told him I want a copy for my roots scrapbook and to post on my blog...so send it along Jeff. I was hoping he'd come in tomorrow when I was in but no such luck. So now Jeff and I have both gotten to meet a Corrie person...I met Sunita and had my picture taken and Jeffs met Ashely...I wonder who will be next!!!

The final thing I wanted to mention was that I've recently been reading the books by Stephanie Meyer....Twilight and New Moon and I'm HOOKED...Ashely I hope you don't mind I borrowed the second book from my mom...I borrowed it on Sunday night and finished this afternoon...I couldn't put it down...so she has the book to return to you...I hope it's okay...and I'm hoping you won't mind if I borrow the third book sometime...I think kathy has it right now...let me know. I'm not going to lie at first when everyone was posting about these books, I was like...hmmm Vampires...I don't know about that...but I LOVED THESE BOOKS SO FAR... I can't wait to see the movie. Kathy asked me tonight if I like Edward or Jacob more...and I think I'd have to say I'm an Edward Fan...he just loves Bella sooooo much and doesn't he sound super dreamy....I know it's just a book, but you have to use your imagination when you read. If you have not read these books get them or borrow them because you'll be hooked...thanks to everyone whose read them and passed on the suggestion, because they are sooooo good!!! Okay so after posting this the first time...I went on the web site that Stephanie Meyers has and there was some info about the movie and the cast...so this is a picture of the Cullen family...I was quite excited to see this. I believe Edward is being played by the actor who played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter...and Carlisle is being played by Jennie Garth (kelly 90210) husband Peter Facinelli...the one thing I don't love about this picture is the woman playing Esme she's the woman who played Jane Doe on Greys anatomy...I didn't really love her...but maybe this will change my opinion on her. I'm super excited for this movie to come out....too bad it's not until December 12th...anyway read the books and for those who have hope you enjoy the picture!!!The Cullen Family... so excited!!
