I didn't want to forget this small memory... so I decided to blog it! Its Friday Night Date Night... since those will be far and few between soon, so we went to dinner then in and out of some of our go to stores. Well I wanted to stop at Old Navy to see what stuff they had on sale. As soon as we walked in the doors I got a huge kick on my right side that made me stop walking and gasp, then the rest of our time in there maybe 20-30 minutes or so she just kept moving and rolling around, not kicking but just moving. So I told James her big kick was so that she could get in a good position to shake her booty, I guess she liked what was playing at Old Navy because it just felt like she was dancing the whole time. She is pretty active throughout the day now, which is kinda of fun sometimes not. Before she was calm and still most of the day and it was at night she really got active. Now when we wake up at 6am!! I know right!! She is already moving for the day and then slumbers off for a while then gets going again around lunch then she moves off and on and then starts back up around 6pm until we go to bed! Silly girl... but so fun! I can't wait to enjoy her sweet little personality NOT inside my already stretched to the max belly. I keep telling James I can't imagine getting bigger, YES I know it will happen but I just can't imagine it. The only way I can describe how it feels to James is when you try to blow out your belly to see how far you can stick it out and it kinda aches and you can feel your skin pulling/stretching and usually thats about the time you suck it back in well I can't suck it back in so I just feel stretched out all the time. I have alot of people say your small for 7 months but I think they are being nice!
We also went to Hobby Lobby, yes he comes in with me to Hobby Lobby only because I walk around Best Buy about 20 times with him! Well when we were in HL I had to go pee, I know go figure! Well when I went to wash my hands another lady was in there cleaning something off her shirt and she started chatting with me then asked when I was due... REALLY!? I walked out and found James and told him I have finally reached the Pregnancy milestone where I look pregnant and strangers ask! HA! Well it was bound to happen one day, I guess I should be happy I made it all the way to the 3rd trimester before it happened.

Fightin' Texas Aggie!
Well we are a very excited and proud family, who has finally closed the book on this long awaited envelope to reveal that our Juween is going to be an Aggie! She has been looking forward to this moment since my oldest sister, Jen, first went to Texas A&M...
She applied earlier this year and received notice that the university had mailed out a letter to her on Wednesday... well Friday came and went and there was still no letter... She has always had a back up plan to attend Blinn, the junior college down the road from TAMU, but we knew that was her great positive outlook in case what she really wanted didn't go as planned. Which this plan has been in the works since she was 4 years old!!!!
Well we had our family dinner that Sunday evening and still no later but still words that it will be okay that she will just go to Blinn for a litte bit. I applaud her for being so calm and positive about... but in the back of all our heads everytime she said that it would make us sad because that has not been the dream 14 years in the making! Well Julianne had a friend over Monday afternoon and also had to take a midterm that would take about 2 hours. Mom checked the mail around 3 or 330pm and when she did out came a BIG envelope from the Texas A&M University. She immediately got on the phone with my sister, Jen and tried to explain to her what this envelope was: BIG and had some kind of pamplet...Jen told her right away that that was GOOD news... well I got a phone call shortly after that saying we are going to have a celebratory dinner for Julianne that evening, that mom has not given Julianne the envelope because her friend was over and that she still had to take her midterm... Julianne adds in later that she felt something was up because mom was being super nice! Well mom made a few fake phone calls about going to dinner that night. Which at that time the whole gang was at Chilis waiting for the arrival of our AGGIE! Mom still hadn't told Julianne about the mail and Joel informed her to have Julianne open it up at the restaraunt.
Well when she arrived and saw all of us she knew what was going on, and she is our more emotional sister and well... so we try to get her to open this envelope with cameras rolling but she was being stubborn and saying she wasn't going to do it... so I turned to our trusty 2.5 year old nephew who will get into anything to open the envelope well he got the envelope and tried his best but mom didnt want him to rip it so she unsealed it, the hard part was over right... Well Julianne took out the papers and preceded to read all of them EXCEPT the formal letter. So she finally got to that and read it to herself, while she started to get emotional again... we love her!!! Jen took it from her and read the words we have all been anticipating for so long CONGRATULATIONS!!!! She is in!!! We couldnt be more excited for her and the dream she has had of being an AGGIE come true... she has been bleeding Maroon for a while this just made things official!
There is no other place I can imagine sending my baby sister off to except for this fun and memorable place. She has worked so hard for this, every assignment, test, and even putting herself in clubs and extracurricular to show that she is a hard working, involved individual... even if she is the President of the chess club and doesnt even know how to play!! WE LOVE YOU JULIANNE... AND ARE SO PROUD WE GET TO CALL YOU AN AGGIE! I hope you make tons of memories and GOOD grades, and of course a DIPLOMA! Now off to purchase some Maroon and white for the family, and a few cute bows... we have to be decked out when we go see Juween!
