About Me



Cute Hot Layouts From WHATEVERLIFE.COM!
Howdy y'all... I'm Melissa-- wife to Aaron, mama to Ainsley. I've lived in Mobile most of my life-- except for a couple of years in Huntsville. Myspace is a chance for me to keep up with gymnasts I've coached and friends from high school/college/out of town. So, I forget to update a lot. Oh well!I used to own a gymnastics facility out near Theodore, but when I had my daughter, I decided to sell out. I tried the whole Stay At Home Mom thing-- and mostly I still am (I can't handle not being with my baby girl during the day!), but I do coach out at Nasser's a couple'a days a week, just to stay involved in the sport.

My Interests

My baby girl, silly! And gymnastics, of course. :) Plus, I read an awful lot (see below), I love to knit, and I sing and dance around (the singing all the time, the dancing when no one's looking!). I go to Dayspring Baptist Church and love my friends there. What else, what else? Love music, photography, gardening, playing around... I'm also into cloth diapering, breast feeding, and all... (Crunchy Mama alert!)

I'd like to meet:

*shrugs* I've met most people I used to want to meet... Can't think of anyone off hand, here.

Music:

Wow. Lots of kinds. I'm kinda schitzo when it comes to music. I do like Kid Rock, Phillips Craig and Dean, FM Static, Rascal Flatts, Bond, Eminem, Pink, Avril Lavigne, LeAnn Rimes, Rachel Lampa, Stacy Orrico, Breaking Benjamin, Jump5, Jodee Messina, etc, etc, etc

Movies:

Sweet Home Alabama, Two Weeks Notice, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Hide and Seek, Miracle, Just Like Heaven, LOTR, Harry Potter, X-Men, Lilo and Stitch, Chronicles of Narnia...

Television:

I used to never watch TV... Now, let's see... I watch Bones and House RELIGIOUSLY. Aaron and I also watch Smallville and 24 on DVD (too impatient to wait a week between episodes for 24). Also, when we catch em on we watch MythBusters, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Iron Chef America, Ninja Warrior, and Hannah Montana. LOL

Books:

Anything by Dean Koontz, Dr. Robin Cook, Mary Higgins-Clark, and all Red Dress Ink books.

Heroes:

Bela Karolyi! Hmmm. Also, of course, Jesus. Without Him... Yeah. Life wouldn't be worth living.

My Blog

*fumes* STUPID SEARS PORTRAIT STUDIO! *fumes*

So, we went to Sears today for Ainsley's 6 month/Halloween portraits. They did an AWESOME job on her 3 month pics so I was more than happy to go back. I'd scheduled an appointment with the same girl w...

Miss Independence- my "mommy" friends will laugh

Ainsley is SO independent. I know that sounds silly for me to say about a 4 day old, but it's true!  She has decided that me helping her latch on to breastfeed is not cool and that she must ...

Last update before we have her... I think. LOL

Well, I had another appointment today, compliments of the bronchitis that has been killing me for a couple of days, now. I know that I'M not getting enough air, so I assumed Ainsley wasn't either sinc...

Yet another rant (Hey, I'm good at it!)

Ok. So, I saw my OB Monday. And...... NOTHING IS HAPPENING! To the people who said that I wasn't good at being pregnant (because of the anemia, the morning sickness, the general malaise)... HA! I'm GR...

Gym Baby Shower! (With pics!)

We're getting down to the wire! Only 50 days left until Ainsley's due date-- but my doctor doesn't think we'll make it that long. He's predicting the beginning of April/end of March because she alread...
