Day 17: Somthing you are looking forward to, well now....the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP

and about a million other things this time of year!

Seriously though, we JUST got word that my mom and I are going to get my Grandfather's faculty tickets for the BIG game for the LOW price of $80/piece. Considering they are going on e-bay for $400/piece...this seems like a steal! I am sooooo excited and so thankful for my Grandfather!

So...

30 Day blog Challenge: Day 17: Something you are looking forward to:

1. Going to ATL for the SEC Championship game. This is our FIRST time going to the SEC championship and I couldn't be more excited. I love ATL, and being there with a ton of other die hard Gamecock fans is truly the best!

2. RIVALRY WEEK: We play CLEMSON, our most hated rival this Saturday. Admittedly, Clemson had beaten us more than we have them...but regardless...it is still an intense rivalry. We won last year and I really hope we bring home the Palmetto State Champion trophy once again! There are about 17 of us heading to Lake Wateree to watch the game at a friends lake cabin, it will be so much fun. I do NOT like going to Clemson....so therefore we just take the party elsewhere. We have a full day/night planned of eating, drinking and cheering!
3. THREE, that's right THREE Thanksgiving dinners in a row this week. And what was that I said about needing to lose weight? Geeeesh...seems impossible? Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, even though I do love Christmas more...I think Thanksgiving doesn't get enough credit. There isn't the stress and pressure that Christmas brings...but you still get to enjoy being with your family with some time off from work! I think it is a very important time to reflect and realize what all we do have to be thankful for this year. Tuesday night we are celebrating our 2nd annual "Friends" Thanksgiving dinner....one of my favorite things our friends do together. Wednesday night, Mikey's family will be coming to our house for dinner. THEN, on Thursday...we will be heading to my parents house to spend the day with my family. And yes, by Friday...I will be rolling around. It's totally worth it though, right!?!
4. SHOPPING on Friday. I have NEVER been one of these (see below) crazy people, but my mom and I actually love to be out in the hustle and bustle the day after Thanksgiving. During law school, I was kinda a "no go" on Black Friday because of exams. I could maybe squeeze in a few hours, but that was it. So, now I take full advantage=) There are a few big ticket items Mikey and I are scoping out this year...we need a new washer/dryer...how freaking BORING right? But, Sears is selling them for dirt cheap...is it worth the 3am wake up call??

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...
