Fun night and a throw back.

Pretty pumped about tonight's plans. As soon as we get off work, Mikey and I are meeting my parents at Pawley's Front Porch for happy hour and dinner. This little restaurant serves some of the best burgers around, and as you could have guess has a wonderful big ole porch for dining. They were even featured recently on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, so cool...a wonderful shout out for Columbia. After dinner, we are off to see the GAMECOCKS take on the FLORIDA GATORS in baseball. This series is HUGE for both teams and will essentially decide who is number ONE in the SEC...gahhhh I hope my team wins! Florida wins everything, can't they let someone else have a turn, ha! We have great seat and it will be a perfect night for baseball.
Now on to my throw back Thursday....kinda makes me sad. MY FREAKIN BACHELORETTE PARTY WAS A YEAR AGO. What? How did this happen. Sometimes it feels like my wedding events were yesterday and other times it feels like they were three years ago, weird huh? At any rate, this was simply one of the BEST weekends of my life. (I mean, obviously, when everyone is there to celebrate "you" and you have all of your AMAZING best friends in one house for the weekend.) We went down to Litchfield Beach, SC and stayed at my wonderful MOH's parents house for the weekend. It. was. perfect. The weather was gorgeous, the libations lively, and the dancing hysterical! I had a large wedding party, which leads to a large bachelorette, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. There were 22 of us, and EACH and every one of these girls is special in my life for one way or another. Whether they are family, life long friends, high school friends, or college I simply love each and every one of them to death. Two of my girls had to fly to get there....from OH and FL, talkin about making me feel special!

22 bathing beauties, enough said.

Laughing at me opening my lingerie or answering questions bout the future hubs!
Friday night dance party, of course I was on a chair. I always feel like I have to have the attention on me...hmmm, not the best character trait huh? At least, I typically only do this at people's houses and not out in public! *notice, typically...oh, my younger days!*
Wonderful friends.
My FABULOUS Matron of Honor and hostess with the mostess.
My bridesmaids
ZTA girls
My Chapin (home town) girls
The whole group about to go out on the town. We had to get a stretch hummer because there were so many of us and we didn't want to get cabs! We left Litchfield Beach and headed to Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach. We ate dinner at a very nice restaurant and then hit the clubs!
Yes, I was "that girl." This was all a surprise for me, but hey I made 125 bucks! And, no, nothing ever got too hoochy mama.
It really makes me so sad to think that was a year ago. I would go back to this weekend a million times over. Of course, I have lots of best friends getting married now and all of their bachelorettes are just as fun. Fun fun times....

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...
