Serious Contender for Best Year Ever.

In my short 26 years alive that is...

Seriously, 2009 has probably been one of the best years of my life so far. I sat for the South Carolina BAR and passed, and then even got a big girl job! My very first one...although being a real life attorney isn't quite what I thought it would be, I am still extremely proud of myself for accomplishing this goal of mine.

I got married!! (to my best friend, the love of my life...yadda yadda yadda, insert sarcasm here, sorry not one of those cheesy lovey dovey types!)


I stood beside two of my best friends when they got married.





We bought a house!! Since, I have thoroughly enjoyed renovating it, re-doing parts, decorating, etc. It's still a work in progress, but I love what we have done so far!
I experienced some amazing times with all of my best friends in the entire world....every single one of these girls means the absolute world to me, throughout the year I was able to enjoy friendships with these ladies...they each bring something different into my life. I wouldn't be who I am without ALL of them in my life. Some I have known since I was born, others were met during that awkward middle school period (and we still love each other), and others from college; but no matter what EACH of these girls helped to make 2009 incredible for me! (*yes, this is all 22 of us at my bachelorette party!!)
WE GOT A DOG. (let me repeat this). I GOT A DOG. WTH!?! WHOA. Yeah, I would have never imagined I would have/love/let her live inside/etc. a dog already. I was NOT a dog person before...but I do love my little Milly to pieces. *she still doesn't lick me though=)
I continue to have an AMAZING family that I cherish more and more the older I get.


I can only hope and pray that 2010 will be as good to me. I'm gonna go ahead and throw out some of my New Year's Resolutions so that maybe (maybe) I will actually stick to them for once.

1. Get the 8 pounds I have gained since I got married OFF.
2. Always try to put others first.
3. Join Shandon Methodist Church.
4. Get serious about working out (this relates to number 1) but I would like for working out to become something that I don't dread/something that just becomes a natural everyday occurrence for me.
5. Save money instead of spending it all.
6. Go further in my career, maybe taking that next step.

Loves!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
