Manic Monday

Why must weekends FLY by?? I had a wonderful weekend, I just hate to see it go. Friday night we ended up having a little get together, bunches of friends came over to cook out...we had a large time. Somehow I managed to only take ONE picture (gasp!) the whole night...


But, I do LOVE this picture. This is me with three of my very best friends from high school...four of the famous "fab five." ha! (the fifth lives in ohio, and we rarely get to see her=(, hopefully she will move closer one day!) Seriously though, always have a great time when we all get together and Friday didn't let down. This was all of us outside beside the fire pit. So fun, can't wait to do it again.

Saturday, I drugggg myself out of bed at 8:30...I headed up to Montreat, NC for a ladies night! My mom's best friend who is like my second mother was celebrating her 60th Birthday and we had quite a little mother/daughter PARTY! It rained for much of the trip...but we did enjoy a nice lunch in Black Mountain and lots of nice cocktails all night long!


I got home Sunday afternoon and was a lazy BUM for the remainder of the day, it was great! Watched my tv shows that I missed last week...and a little football! I'm happy the Saints won, but I was really rooting for the Vikings because two of Carolina's former football players play for them (Sidney Rice and Jasper Brinkley)... yeah Sidney is pretty amazing!

Not much else going on over here...this time of year is generally pretty slow/boring in my opinion. I enjoy it though, typically from March - December we are ALWAYS on the go! I like to use these months to "regroup."

About to finish "The Associate" by John Grisham...pretty good, it makes me laugh to think how different my legal career is from those first years. The money would be nice, but you couldn't catch me dead working that much. My social life is way too important to me.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
