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!

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
