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??

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...

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...

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...
