Mixed Emotions.


No worries, this isn’t some emotional, life changing post.  What I’m really here to talk about is the beginning of GAMECOCK FOOTBALL!!!  I LOVE football.  ALWAYS have, always will.  I LOVE my GAMECOCKS.  ALWAYS have, always will.  HOWEVER, I also LOVE summer.  So for me, as much as I love football it also signifies the ending of the summer which makes me sad.  Although I am a full time working woman (so it really doesn’t matter the season, it’s not like I have a summer break!) I still            L-O-V-E summer time.  And there’s really no way around it, once football starts; our Saturdays are devoted to the pigskin.  Which I do love…it just means no more lake days, beach days, pool days, etc.  Which I don’t love.  So…there you see?  This is why I have MIXED EMOTIONS. 

This year Carolina kicks off on a THURSDAY night against VANDY, so in a way I like this because I still get to enjoy a LONG labor day weekend at the beach…gotta soak up EVERY last bit of summer that I can.  I guess it’s kinda the best for me because football is starting (YAY) but as a GAMECOCK fan I still have one more weekend to enjoy before I have to worry about my Saturdays being ALL day tailgate affairs.  *Of course this year may be a tad different with a baby:-) 

So I’ll be a little sad to put away the beach bags, bathing suits and sunscreen (along with the ending of longer days, warm nights, and the general “laziness” of summer) but as long as my GAMECOCKS are making me happy I’ll be okay!

Good bye to days that end like this....sweet Colls napping on the beach during our family vacay last week...

 .......and HELLO to days like this!!  Mikey took Collins to her first GAMECOCK football scrimmage the other night when I was hosting girl's night.  Look at that happy baby decked out in Gamecock garnet ;-)
 xoxo.  CHEERS TO MY COCKS HAVING A FABULOUS SEASON!!!!

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...
