Merry Christmas

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. We have been busy this Christmas break. We started off the break in Gatlinburg for Andy and Rachel's wedding. We are thrilled to have Rachel and Reese join our family. We enjoyed a fun weekend with our family.
We got back to town and headed to a dr's appointment for baby Lee. He is doing great and growing daily. We are now in the 3rd trimester and headed to the docter every 2 weeks. March will be here before we know it. Baby Lee is a VERY ACTIVE baby already. He loves to kick me and play games with Charlie. It's crazy that this time next year we will have a new little one at Christmas. He is already spoiled with a closet full of clothes and toys.
WE hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas and enjoys spending time with their families. Please remember the real reason for the season.

Happy Birthday Jesus!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are enjoying our week off for Thanksgiving Break. We have so many things to be thankful for this year. God has been good. We are thankful for our family, friends, a healthy baby Lee, our health, our home, our church family, our jobs and much more. We are thrilled to be 3 months away from meeting our little boy, Lee. Each day we are in awe that we are going to have a little boy and it only makes it more real every appointment and everytime we feel him moving and kicking. The other night Lee was busy kicking so I called Charlie over. The next time he kicked was the hardest so far and Charlie swears Lee was giving his daddy a high five. We are loving every minute with this little guy and can't wait to meet him March 15.
During this Thanksgiving break we have gotten so much done and it's only Wednesday. We have purchased Lee's crib and already have it up and ready for him to arrive. We have 2 trees up and ready for Christmas. We have purchased and wrapped several Christmas gifts for our families. Most of all we have enjoyed being off together and resting from a work.
We wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving with their families. Remember count your blessings. God is good and we all have so much to be thankful for.

It's a BOY!!!

Charlie and I will be having a little boy in March. We had a great time on Friday at the ultrasound. We were busy planning our family revealment party. We had so much fun. We had a house full of family and close friends. Pepaw Bobby, the only great grandparent living, cut the cake. Once he cut it, he revealed that the inside of the cake was BLUE!! Baby Lee Ligon will be here before we know it.

March 15, 2011

Well the news is out, Charlie and I will be expecting our 1st child in March. We are so excited and feel very blessed. We will graduate with our Masters in December then have a sweet bundle of joy in March. Please keep us in your prayers as we count down the days for baby Ligon. More updates to come.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

It's hard to believe that we only have one month of summer vacation left. Where has the time gone? We have had a great summer break so far. We've had weddings, a 2 week beach vacation, done somethings in the house, Thirty One parties, softball, river, cheered Will Allen on in All Stars and had plenty of time to hang out with our friends. We will be doing about the same in the month of July. Charlie and I are truly blessed to have the summers off together and enjoy spending time together, most of the time :)
Our garden is growing well. This year we are having corn, purple whole peas, okra, cucumbers galore, squash, bell peppers, banana peppers, and of course Charlie's favorite, tomatoes. We love having fresh veggies.
We start our last class before graduating in December with our Masters. We are thrilled to be almost done.
Off to enjoy the rest of our summer vacation.

Beach Time

We love the beach! This year the beach trip has been a bit interesting with the oil spill thanks to BP and Obama. We are enjoying our last week at the beach with Charlie's family. My family was here the 1st week and we enjoyed laying out, swimming, eating, playing cards, eating, shopping and hanging out. Dad's favorite friend was Milfred during the trip. Charlie and I decided we could get use to living at the beach. We love it here. We have got to eat some great seafood and send time with old friends and family. It's always fun running into people you went to school with years ago.
We have a summer of being lazy and enjoying time off. Remainder of our summer will be spent doing:
** We will be taking one class this summer, that will meet 6 times, to graduate from Bethel in December with our Masters. We are getting to take the class at UU with a good teacher.
**Charlie will attend his summer work sessions for his school.
**Yay we found out tonight that Will Allen made All-Stars so we will definately be making road trips to Jackson for his games. He is so excited!!!
**Keep Emma, Will Allen and the Sammons clan some
** Cut yard and tend to garden
**ENJOY BEING OUT FOR SUMMER!!

Schools ALMOST Out for Summer!!!

8 1/2 day in counting!!! We are ready for school to be out for summer! This year has been a long year. Charlie and I are about to graduate with our Masters in Adminstration. YAY for us. We are ready for our 2 week beach vacation. We are hoping the oil spill will hold off for us to enjoy our much needed vacation. We will be laying low this summer and enjoying some time off.
Charlie has just today completed our last renovation in our house, the kitchen floor. He did a wonderful job this weekend tiling our kitchen floor to match my new backsplash that he did. What a handy man that I married.
This summer we will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary. Hard to believe it's been 3 years. We are looking forward to many more together.

Have a great week and we are on the count down!!!

Love This Weather!!!

Spring break is finally here and we are loving it. We our enjoying the beautiful weather and being outside. This week we have planted our garden, planted flowers, sold a lawnmower and gotten a new one. We have gotten to hangout with friends, see Will Allen play ball and visit family. We are enjoying a much needed break. The count down is now on - 6 more weeks until school's out for summer!!!!
Since the last post I have started a new hobby/business. I am now a consultant for Thirty -One and loving every minute of it. Check it out: www.mythirtyone.com/julieligon. I have had several parties already and look forward to having more. Let me know if you are interested in a catalog or house party.
This Tuesday is our last night class of the semester. WE will graduate in December and can't wait. We have observation hours to complete in the fall and we are DONE!!!
Softball starts back next week for Charlie so we will be staying busy until August now. We enjoy it and look forward to another successful season!!


HAPPY SPRING!!

Just His Luck!

Well we thought we would make it through this basketball season with no broken bones. No such luck. Last year Charlie blew out both ankles. This year we have moved to the hands. After 6 hours at the docters appointment, he has a broken knuckle. Next week we are headed to the Campbell Clinic with his xrays. Hopefully, we will not have the hear the words surgery or pin in the same sentence. He insist that he will be playing on Saturday with a lot of tape, we will see how that goes. He has to be back to normal he says for softball season which is quickly approaching. I love my husband for still being a child at heart and I'm still his cheerleader.
This weekend I will be judging pageants in Jackson with mom and some friends. It should be fun. Sunday we have a baby shower and I am so excited for my neighbor Grant off the square and his wife Lisa.
We will keep everyone posted on the broken knuckle and our life!!

Count Down Is On!

We can't believe that Monday is March 1st. We are counting down the days until spring break but most importantly summer break. We can't wait to go to the beach, pool, the river and hangout with our family and friends!! We are busy with school, masters classes and Charlie's ball games. Before we know it softball will be started back up and will keep us busy until next Christmas.
As far as church, we are joining our church this Sunday. We met with the preacher yesterday and feel blessed that the Lord has lead us to our church. We are excited to finally have a home church in Munford.

We Love Snow!!!

We have had a wonderful break from school thanks to the snow!!! We got out of school last Thursday at 3:15 and still have not gone back. Charlie and I have enjoyed spending time together and being off work. Friday, Saturday and Sunday until about 11 am. we were snowed in our house. We enjoyed sleeping in, watching movies, eating, cleaning, eating, taking naps, hanging out with Moe and doing laundry. Around lunch on Sunday, Charlie's dad ventured out to get us and take us sledding for a couple hours. We had a great time sledding on the Bibb's land with Joe and his family. We went sledding, snow skiing, and rode four wheelers. This time was much needed out of our house. We were being to get cabin fever. Sunday night Charlie and I had dinner and movie date night. We headed out to eat Mexican and see When in Rome. Today we enjoyed running errands and getting our taxes filed and complete!!! We are out of school again tomorrow and who knows what the day will hold!!

Thank you snow for a much needed break!! We still have not had a five day work week, but we are not complaining. We are enjoying the perks of being teachers!!

Back to the Swing of Things

2010 has begun and it's going to be a great year!! We are coming up on being in our house for a year and wow we have been blessed and amazed!! We can't believe a year ago we were looking for houses and happened upon ours. As far as my friends, Erica has had her sweet baby boy, Wyatt and he is a doll. We can't wait to watch him grow.
We are now back into the routine of our everyday busy lives. We are back to teaching everyday and ready for May to arrive. We have started back our one night a week night classes for our Masters in Adminstration and Supervision. We have this semester of classes left and 100 hours of observation with our principals in the fall and we will be done, FINALLY!! Charlie is back to playing ball every Saturday now. He is playing basketball on our church team again this year and we have recruited some of our friends to play as well. We are excited that DA, Johnny, and Matt are all playing this year. Hopefully we will have a great season.
We are looking forward to a great 2010 year filled with many blessings!!
