last night, my favorite place on earth and THANK YOU.

WHEW. A lot going on in that title huh!?!

First things first...I LOVE MY FRIENDS. But, goodness gracious...the next time they make me stay up till 2 am on a work night....wow. My group of girl friends is pretty incredible...all very smart, hard working, nice, southern women. We have PR/marketing/creative geniuses, speech pathologists, doctors, lawyers, bankers, accountants, engineers, you name it....and we all got opinions. And lots of them=) We stayed up last night (after a fabulous cook out) till 2:00 debating politics, school choice, etc. I FREAKIN LOVE IT. I love listening to everyone's opinions, I always learn something when we do this, I mean I got some smart friends! Anyways, needless to say...I am a weeeee bit tired this morning, why did I think I needed that last Mic Ultra lime at 1:30???

We are leaving for my favorite place on earth when I get off work, I CANNOT WAIT. Our house in Beaufort was built after my grandparents died; my dad, his brother and sister all own it together. (My dad and his brother built it, the sister decorated...how fun!) We usually split the weeks up between the three families, but about five times a year we have "family" weeks where EVERYONE can go. When I say everyone....we have 14 adults and 8 little ones in ONE house! It makes my heart happy, I know my grandparents would be so proud of us. This weekend, we won't have a full house, but still quite the party! I am looking forward to lounging on the beach, playing in the pool, watching sunsets in a rocker, and cruising the waters of the inter-coastal. My favorite kind of weekend.

My version of heaven.

I'd also like to take a minute and say THANK YOU to everyone who has given their life for this wonderful country of ours. I can't imagine the sacrifice, and am so thankful to those who fought for my freedoms. AMERICA ROCKS because of our heroes, God Bless you.

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...
