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.

Cheers to Kenny and Lynn=)

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...

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...

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 n...
