Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. - Mae Wes

 Hello all! 

  Only two months have gone by & I am actually updating! Maybe, I will update in a month next time! =)  Things just seem to be on the up-and-up for the Waldrep/Bradshaw residence! 2010 has been a great year for us & we seem to be blessed left and right. We have a beautiful apartment, love in our home, wonderful fur-babies, whom we can't seem to get enough of! We have great friends, family and an awesome support system. But most of all, we have each other. I can't believe the strides we make together. I would fantasize about the success & future of myself and partner, & to sit back & realize those fantasies are becoming realities just blows me away. I have never had someone show me the love he does, to challenge me, accept me & my flaws, to EMBRACE those "flaws" & see them as character. Mr. Waldrep, you are my best friend & I love you more and more everyday! You are my BEST friend & the only soul who knows ALL of my secrets. I never have to hold back and you love it.

Well, enough mushy! My sister, Sabrina came into town for a 4 day weekend and it was some much needed time together! We hadn't spent anytime together for nearly 3 years & I can't begin to express how wonderful it was to see her, laugh with her, girl talk and catch up with her. I missed her so much and am so grateful she is back in my life!

 SO, I am going to be an Auntie again! Austen hates when I say that, his response, you're already an Auntie, you can't be one again. LOL Ms. Erica is pregnant & is about 7 weeks along. She & Jeremy were very surprised & are pretty nervous, but are getting excited. Julian can't stop talking about the baby in mommies tummy & keeps telling Erica, "there are two in there!" So far, only one lil goober is being seen! We looked up images of what the baby looks like this far along & goober already has arms, legs, feet, & is developing so quickly! It amazes me something soooooo tiny can be developed so much already! This is going to be a fun pregnancy for her, I think. The family is ready for another little one, and we seem to make some cuties! =) Erica has already had a couple of scares. She went to the hospital for sever cramping and all they could see was that she may have a UTI. Well, a couple of days later she started spotting pretty heavily & rushed to the ER. Come to find out, she does not have a UTI but a sever vaginal infection & was caught just in the nick of time. She is now on med.'s, the babies heart beat is strong and so far, the ultrasounds are showing a healthy baby. She is feeling a little less anxious and is starting to feel the weight in her tummy. Not showing yet, but her tummy is definitely getting hard!
This is an image of a fetus that is 7 weeks along. Keep on growing strong and big baby!




  OH MOVING! Our friends Jarrid & Julie moved across the country, back home to, Michigan. I have known them for 3 years & have made friends for life. Austen, Erica, Jeremy, & I rented a U-haul and drove to Queen Creek & helped them load their Penske truck and finish packing and cleaning. It was a LONG but fun night & a great way to say our, "See Ya Later's!" We stayed up till early in the morning and woke up a few hours later to drive 45 minutes home. I am so excited for the two of them, this move is bringing a great blessing to them & they get to be close to their families again. I am selfish though and want them here, suffering in the heat with me! LOL


I can't believe how much I miss these two already! =(


  My dad just celebrated the big 50 in August! We had 2 different parties for him & had a blast at both. My dad is not perfect, far from, but he has always busted his ass for Erica & I. He messed up big, owned to it & made a life for himself & always was there for Erica & I. He has always taught me to learn from my past, accept when I am wrong & to be humble. He is a hard worker and my friend. I am glad to have him in my life & will forever be changed by him.


Happy Birthday, Daddy, I love you!

  The Halloween Decorating is on the countdown! I CAN'T WAIT!! I am forcing myself to NOT open the decoration boxes until Friday, Sept. 30th, and it is killin' me! The weather is starting to change, the morning's and evening's are cooling down, not the if the rest of the day could catch up, that would b e great! I love Arizona, but man, I am ready to leave this state and start an adventure with Austen somewhere else. Who know's what the future holds! All I can say, I a lucky lady and am excited for the way things are turning out. TILL THEN! xoxo
