RSTLN and E

Russ and I have recently gotten into watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I know we are dorks, but it is so fun. Usually, we DVR the shows so we can watch while we are having dinner. Now, when I was little I used to watch Wheel (as i like to call it!) with my grandparents. Back in the day when the contestants were spinning the wheel they would shout out "C'Mon big money." Now though they don't. Every once in awhile you will hear something but not very often. Well, the other night Russ said "do you remember when they didn't give RSTLNE at the final puzzle?" I did not remember! Does anyone remember this?? I think it would be very difficult to solve the puzzle. BTW- i signed up to be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. I doubt i will be selected, but who knows! Cross your fingers!! Hopefully, I can win big money!!

Goodbye 2008

I know I am really late on this post, but things have been crazy at work and I have not had a chance! So, here I am in the middle of January doing the New Year's post. Nothing like being late than never! 2008 seemed like it flew by for me. So many things happened, good, bad, but all in all it was a good year. I actually rang in 2008 in Columbus Ohio with my now husband, sister, and cousins. That seems like such a long time ago. It is so funny how things have changed! In 2008 my life changed in so many ways that I never would have guessed it would. I married my husband in April, we bought our first home together in July and in early December found out we were having a baby! WOW!! That is a big year.
2009 should be just as much fun! We have our friends weddings, babies being born, hopefully Clemson playing well this year and many things to celebrate!
With the new year comes resolutions! This year my main goal is to do my best to be healthy. I have been going to water aerobics at the gym a couple times a week. I had been doing Taebo at the gym, but the doctor recommended the water aerobics. Everything you have heard about water aerobics is probably true. I go with my mom and let me just tell you i am the youngest person there. It is such a good workout though. There are so many different levels that you can work out at that I get a good workout. It is not the most glamorous though. Like I said I am the youngest person there. It is actually quite humorous! Did i mention you also have to wear water shoes! Yes, i am dork and have a pair of water shoes that i wear with pride to my water aerobics class.
I also had a resolution to be more positive at work. I think i really only made it a day on this one. I am a total failure, but that is ok. Sometimes i work with idiots.
Russ had the resolution to quite smoking. I think like me he forgot that it was the middle of January because he is still at it. I would like him to quite, but can't force him. He has to decide to do it on his own.
I think that is all I have!! Hope you have a wonderful 2009!

UPDATE

I only have one update:

I am pregnant!!! Yes, you read that correctly! I found out the week after Thanksgiving. We have had two dr's appointments and an ultrasound. Baby Compton will be here July 31st. The baby is doing well and moving very fast. He or she is the size of a peanut. The past couple of weeks I have been sick. My back has hurt so bad that my wonderful husband bought us a new mattress. All I have to say is that it is heavenly. The bed got delivered on New Years Eve afternoon. Let's just say we went to bed at 5pm that night!
We had a wonderful New Year's. We went to Surfside Beach for the weekend and got to hang out with our friends and have a large time.
Yesterday, I went to my friend Tara's bridal shower in RH. It was nice to visit with old college friends.
Today I am back at work! That is not so fun! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
