It's Been a While

Sorry it's been so long. We've had a lot go on.

I quit my job... then we moved some stuff up to Tupelo... got Jo into a daycare here... started working again... and now we're kind of stable!

Today we went to Creative Cakes on E. Main and ordered Jo's birthday cake (her birthday is April 1st... party will be April 2nd at 2:00... I will get the invites out soon...). On our way back in to town (East Tupelo is technically part of Tupelo, but it's a VERY different part of Tupelo...) we stopped at Elvis Presley's Birthplace. I haven't been there in a while - last time I went to actually take in a visit, it was not very busy, there was just his house and the memorial chapel and small museum. The city has done a great job expanding the area. They have added an "Elvis Walk" with dates from his life and what he was doing at that time, there's a statue of him from about the time when he moved from Tupelo to Memphis, and the city has moved Elvis's boyhood church from WHEREVER it was to the site near his home. It's very nice and the weather today was pretty perfect for being outside. We let Jo run around - she had a blast. I took some pictures from my phone, but right now I don't have our laptop up in Tupelo and there's not a bluetooth connection here... I'll have to tranfer those later.

After the Elvis side trip, we went to Vincent Boot and Shoe and bought some on-sale shoes (12 bucks for mine!!!), then to PartyWorks, then we had to stop for some lunch - we went to Newks. I don't know what sandwich I got, but it was AWESOME. I think it was called the "Q"?? I'm not sure, but it's got chicken, cheese, bacon, and white vinegar sauce. The white vinegar sauce was SO good. I totally recommend that sandwich.

We went then to Hobby Lobby where we got invitations and monkey stickers. Jo LOVES her "monkey paper" and "monkey tickters". She also got to go to TJ Maxx where we bought her a Curious George story book - yay!

Right now, she's at Ballard Park with her three cousins (Lilly, Annie, and Emily), her Nana, and her Aunt Leigh. She will have a great time.

I will TRY to update with some pictures soon, but don't hold your breath!!!! :)
