Birth Announcement

She is finally here! Macie Noel Butler was born on 12/24/07. I had the privilege to watch the birth of my niece along side of my mother and Jeremy(Macie's father).
The only word that comes to mind about watching her birth is AMAZING!
I am still in awe of the miracle of life after witnessing such act.
I feel such a strong bond with her and an even stronger with Sarah then before by being a part of this wonderful event in my baby sister's life.

I cannot wait until Sarah will be able to share this experience with me when I give birth to my own child, I will certainly invite her to partake in this wonderful witnessing of life being birthed.

Please take joy in the slide show that I have prepared.. I love Macie so much, that I can only imagine what a love for my own will be like.

Please keep me and Dewey in your prayers as we are going start where we left off with fertility treatments to aide us is conceiving our very own miracle.

I'm Back, finally after more than a month from blogging. It seems I can't find the time to blog lately, or maybe my life is just boring.

Since my last post about joining a Women's Pro Football team I am seriously thinking of dropping out. I did not realize what an amount of money it was going to cost to purchase the equipment that I need. Not to mention that during conditioning practice I puke each time. Maybe my daddy was right, "You're too old to play football!"

Although there are other women that play in their early to late forties.

I am not a quitter, but I must use common sense about this matter and I just can't constitute going into debt to play football!
The DREAM was good while it lasted.....so for now, I will just enjoy the game as a fan. Speaking of, TENN lost against LSU in the SEC Championship game today-BUMMER:(


Well, I guess now that I am no longer M.I.A. I will try to blog more often and regularly.


On a more THANKFUL note: My husband is so supportive, He encouraged me not to give my dream to play football. He knows hoe much I want to play, but we cam to an agreement that it is not worth us going into a deeper debt or me getting injured
(I am not as young as I used to be - Did I say that out LOUD)

Sunday Suprise

I haven't been around much lately (on blogworld), because things have been very busy.
I have been doing the ususal working and bowling and hanging out with family. I also have started a new sport that I am just dying to tell you about........


Well, before anyone has a stroke about the news I am about to share....let me tell you as I have stated many times I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!
I had an opportunity to signup for our local Women's Full-Contact Football team, the Chattanooga Locomotion. They are one of 32 teams in the NWFA(National Womens Football Association). I tried out on Saturday October 13 and yesterday(Oct 20) I was told that I was officially on the team. I can't tell you how excited I am, I am looking so forward to playing I just can't stand myself. It is going to be a process of conditioning myself from now until January when we start practicing together, so I may be blogging much from being tired. I just wanted to share with my family and friends my news.

This team is the best in the region their 2007 Season they were 8-0 although they lost the first round in playoffs to the Columbus Comets with the final score 27-8

Wordless Wednesday

Deidre and Mom had this on their last post. I just thought I would share and tag.


You Belong in Fall

Intelligent, introspective, and quite expressive at times...
You appreciate the changes in color, climate, and mood that fall brings
Whether you're carving wacky pumpkins or taking long drives, autumn is a favorite time of year for you
