Sweet Caroline

It really sucks sometimes. Some of our dear friends (also my BEST friends sister and her husband) lost their little boy Monday. He was ONLY 20 months old. HOW is that possible? He was playing in the yard with his caretakers and was hit by a falling tree branch and was killed. He suffered brain damage, and after being on life support it was determined that there was zero brain activity. It's times like these that I KNOW I need to have FAITH in God's plan, but it is REALLY hard. I KNOW that God has a special reason for taking that precious boy from us SO SO young. But, WHY? I can't comprehend it right now. I will be attending a visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow for a baby. How do you do that? How do these parents go on? How do the caretakers go on? The only positive that I can come up with right now is the parents chose to do organ donation, so several other children will have longer, better lives because of Ashley's death. I know I just need to tru

Mikey and I are leaving for our summer vacation Friday night...know what that means??? NINE whole days of sleeping in relaxing reading laying my butt on the beach all day not putting on makeup if i don't want to hammock laying porch rocking dock sitting did i mention sleeping in? FOR NINE DAYS straight?? Be jealous. I CANNOT WAIT. We leave Friday night and will be spending the long weekend in Hilton Head. I love the beach at Hilton Head, and hopefully now that school has started back, it won't be so crazy down there. And a big bonus, in the *cross my fingers hope it doesn't happen* event that the weather is bad, there is LOTS of shopping to be done! We will drive over to Beaufort Monday morning and spend the week there. I don't think Mikey and I have ever had the WHOLE Beaufort house to ourselves, it may be kinda weird. It's a "family" house and usually full of people when we are down there. I am so looking forward to just being

My beautiful friend Jennifer got married June 25 in Rock Hill, SC. Gahhh...can't believe it's already been almost two months, and I am just now getting around to doing a recap. Oops. Anyways, the weekend was SUPA fun and beautiful...everything that Jenn had envisioned I would imagine. Sadly, we are getting older and we only have a handful of weddings left...I supppose in the next five years that will turn into baby showers, birthday parties, etc. But, for now...I'm trying to soak up all the wedding fun while it's still there!! The weekend started out with a pretty bridesmaid brunch at a local restaurant. The mimosas, food, and locale were perfect. The rehearsal dinner was at the country club, everything was very nice and the slideshow and toasts made the night! Unfortunately, I don't whip out my camera nearly as much as I used to, *sad*, so my pictures are few. But, the night was wonderful, we had a great time and the bride and groom seemed to enjoy

I used to always think that couples who were at a restaurant together and hardly talked must have the WORST relationship. So funny how things change. Mikey and I just went to lunch together today, and we talked NON stop. We both had lots going on, new things to share, etc. But, just last week we met for lunch one day, kinda last minute...and we both just read the paper most of the time and barely spoke. I mean we talked, but you know...more of a comfortable silence conversation. It makes me laugh to think I used to feel sorry for couples like that...there is something so wonderful knowing that I can go to lunch with my husband and feel 100% okay just being there with him. Sometimes there is nothing to be said, we just enjoy each others company. I DO NOT GET the saying "little boys love their mommas." Duh. So do little girls. I think a lot of people just say this because it's a phrase so many people say without thinking about it. I don't know why it bothe

One of my bestests Jennifer got married June 25 in Rock Hill, SC. And I am JUST now getting around to re-capping one of her MOST important events...the BACHELORETTE!!! Shame on me, right?!? Of course, my pictures are out of order, and no... I don't feel like taking the time to rearrange them. Our bachelorette party days are slowly becoming less and less....we only have a few more single girls in our group, so we MUST live it up while we can, right? Even though we all live in SC, and most of us in Columbia...and most of us have even lived in Charleston at some point...our "college girls" group had never done a bachelorette in Charleston. I've been to several in Charleston, but never with these girls. So, it was HIGH time. We found a fabulous house on the Isle of Palms to stay in for the weekend, any house that sleeps almost 20 girls is fabulous. Friday night we did our usual, appetizers, drinks, lingerie shower turned SUPER dance party. Sometimes I think we h

It's freaking absolutely INSANE how fast time goes by...and before I know it, it's been WEEKS since I've updated the ole' blog. I can't keep up with it anymore like I used to...work is about a thousand times busier than it used to be, so there just isn't time. And I'm not one of these people who likes to be on a computer at night...night time is for social outings, reading, tv, walking the dog, cuddling with the hubs, the LAST thing I want to do after a full day of work is come home and get on the computer. So...little bloggy blog will suffer, I'm okay with it. But, I still like to use it as my personal "online" scrapbook and keep up with fun events/big news/etc. We have been BUSY bees lately. Weddings (including one of my BESTIES...several re-caps to come), high school reunions, lake days, beach days, re-doing the master bedroom, WORKING. Lots of exciting things going on around the Glenn household. I just received my new fabric for some
