The Cordle Fam

Most everyone that reads about The Cordle Fam already knows that I have started Cosmetology school. If not, now you do. I have just completed my first month of school and I never thought I would say this but I LOVE SCHOOL! I love it! I have had such a fun month. I have never felt as certain as I do right now that the Lord is in control and I am where I am suppose to be. I have such a peace about school. I love going. So, for those who I don’t talk to everyday… Right now we practice everyday on mannequins. It is rather Hilarious to walk around and everyone playing with Heads. My friend Mary Ragan one day looked at me and said “Anna Catherine, we are adults playing with adult Barbies!”  WOW… It is so true! Our desks are Hair Chair/ Hair Stations, my “school supplies” are Blow Dryer, Brushes, Curling Iron, Clips, Combs, Bobby Pins, etc… I have learned Shampooing, Blow Drying, Thermal Curls, Roller Sets, Manicure, Pedicure, Paraffin Wax, 0 Degree Haircut, and Perm Sets.  Wonder what I am going to learn tomorrow…

This is Hilarious

This morning I had to get something out of my car so I walked outside. When I passed the big blue garbage can I noticed fur… I peeked in to see what it was thinking that some neighborhood cat has gotten in the garbage can and can’t get out. NOPE NOT A NEIGHBORHOOD CAT! IT WAS A POSSUM! THERE IS A POSSUM ASLEEP IN OUR GARBAGE CAN! I don’t know what to do. I guess that possums are nocturnal so he won’t leave until the night when he wakes. Is he going to be able to get out? I am scared that if I tip the garbage can over he will be disturbed in his sleep and get mad. He is sleeping so peacefully. I have recently seen Elf. You know the part in the movie where he meets up with a Possum (maybe it is a Raccoon) and he says “I think someone needs a hug” and Buddy the Elf bends down to give the rodent a hug and the rodent attacks him. I don’t want to be attacked! I have done a little research and I hear that they hiss at you! O Gosh! I guess I will just call one of my trusty guy friends over here and let him deal with this! Ok… back to studying… Here are some pictures that I have taken so all of yall can see this disgusting creature:

So by now, it’s pretty much old news that the Cordle Fam is moving their base of operation to Jackson, MS. We’re all completely on board with this as a family, but that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy. Moving out of our home is going to take a while…both logistically & emotionally. As much as we’ve talked about the move, it just really didn’t become real until the girls & I came home today to find a “For Sale” sign in the yard.

After having a bit of a “moment”, we decided that it just didn’t feel right to have the sign out front while we were home for Thanksgiving. So, somewhat immaturely, we took matters into our own hands.

After taking care of that, we went and ate some lunch, then hung out with Joy & her 3 munchkins. We’ll try and work up a slideshow of that later. The realtor called and wanted to show the house at 5:30, so we left Joy’s in enough time to catch a skunk & hide it under mom & dad’s bed.

While the impostors were wandering our house, we went to up to the new Publix to find the fixins for dinner. It just so happened that it was sample day, so we ended up hanging out at the grocery for dang near an hour. We swung by the high school to reminisce a little, then by Eckerd Rite-Aid to grab a few things we forgot at Publix.

We divided up dinner prep, and had a really good fish+corn+green bean+bread meal. Anna also made some killer cupcakes, and I plan on eating as many as I can until I get too sick to continue. So…on that note, I’ll let you go so I can frost up another. Love y’all.

We got the call on Tuesday evening that Joy was headed to the hospital in Newnan to have Molly Beth. I was debating about whether or not to go visit them, and had almost decided to wait– Mom didn’t seem to think that she’d have the baby until sometime Wednesday morning.

So, I finished up some work & gave Anna a call. Cassie, Jen & her were packing up to head over from Jacksonville…they were under the impression that Molly Beth was going to be there in a few hours. By the time I called mom to get the story straight, the kid had already popped out!

I got to the hospital about 10 minutes after the girls (which coincidentally is about the same amount of time it took the Alabama State Trooper to write me a ticket on the way…). Once there, had a really great visit with Jeff, Joy, Joy’s sister, her mom, & Mitz. We weren’t able to hold Molly Beth that night, but she was pretty dang cute through that glass window.

We hung out at the hospital for a while, then left so they could have some family time. But not before they gave us our party favors!

We stopped by the Waffle House for some late night grub before returning to our respective residences.

Praying that Molly Beth will get here very soon!

Hey Bloggers… We have not been very good about keeping up with the Blog but Bo and I have made a deal that we will try to Blog once a week from now on. Last week was my roommate Jen’s Birthday. For her Birthday she wanted to go to this new place on the square in Jacksonville called Art on the Rocks. Art on the Rocks is similar to a Sips and Strokes. You bring your own beverage of choice and sit there and paint. An art student is up at the front teaching you step by step how to paint. It was so much fun. There was a group of 8 of us that went and everyone of our paintings were similar but they are looked just a little bit different. This particular night we were to paint some flowers coming out of a vase. The top picture is of me and Abby painting our pictures and the Bottom is of me, Jen, and Molly holding our finished products.

This is me and my Roommates after we carved our pumpkins!

So, I got done with my test and I just couldn’t resist! I had to yearbook Mom and Dad!! Ha Ha Ha! Enjoy!

Hey Everyone! It has been a while since I last posted. I have been crazy busy with school. Yesterday, Mom was traveling from Jackson to Newnan and she decided to stop through Jacksonville and hang out with me. She ended up spending the night with me. I really enjoy it when Mom comes and hangs out. We have alot of fun. We were just playing on the internet and came across yearbookyourself.com. O my goodness! It was hilarious. I luckily had pictures of Caroline and Bo on my computer so we were able to yearbook them as well. I hope you enjoy these. Comment and tell which are your favorite of each of us! Go try it yourself!
