30 Day Challenge: Day 4

My parents are the bomb.com....simply put. I couldn't have ever in my life wished for better role models/supportive/loving/fun parents! Seriously. Not only are they amazing in the love and support they have provided me over the years, I actually like to hang out (i.e. party, not just be with them) with my parents!! My parents and their friends are FUN. Mikey and I always say we want to be just like them when we grow up!

I think I am a good combination of both. I am a lot like my dad in many ways: we are both very impatient, opinionated, and passionate. Even though I am probably a "momma's" girl.... I'm the only one in the family (sorry brother!) who can sweetly talk my daddy into things, or calm him down over other things. Of course that's normal...that's what little girls are to their daddies. My dad is amazing. He would give the shirt off of his back as long as I was happy and had something I needed. That's just how he is. The most selfless, loving daddy in the world. My dad and my relationship is seen perfectly in what we chose to dance to in our first dance at my wedding. We are very close, but my dad nor I are the real emotional/"sweet" types. We shagged instead of "slow dancing." It fit me and my dad's personalities and relationship to a tee. And...if you don't know what the "shag" is...look it up. The state dance of South Cackalack, yo. Anyways, we had a blast shagging together....we even took lessons, my dad thinks he can shag already...but he was definitely nervous the first minute. My daddy is hands down the BEST in the world, and I feel so blessed for that.

Mom and I are best friends. Simple as that. We talk on the phone at least twice a day. We tend to look alike, we have a lot of the same mannerisms, but my mom is much sweeter and much more laid back than I am=) She doesn't like to be the center of attention (where as I totally dig it just like my daddy), she doesn't like to argue (again, I love a good debate...another one of my dad's traits), and she is very patient. Again, I'm not. But, we seem to balance each other well. Mom has always always been there for me and would have given me the world if she could. I know my mom probably sacrificed a lot when I was younger so that I could have everything a little girl could dream of. She always went above and beyond to make me happy, provide for me, love me, etc. I hope that I can be half the mother to my children as she was to me. All will be right in the world if I can do that. She is one of the most loving and giving mothers I have ever seen. Again, another contender for BEST momma in the world.

My wonderfully, amazing parents and me at my wedding.

My senior year of college: Parents Cocktail.

Cheers to Kenny and Lynn=)

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

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

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou
