The Friday five.


The Friday Five.

1.        My GAMECOCKS got a W last night to start out the season!!!!!!!!!  And in other news, it may have possibly been the HOTTEST day of summer so far, go figure.  As I stated last year, the beginning of football season brings mixed emotions for me.  I am about as BIG and DEDICATED Gamecock fan as they come, especially football, just because of my love of the sport, but as EXCITED as I am about football season, I also get the end of summer BLUES.  I do NOT like summer ending.  Regardless, we had fun tailgating yesterday.  We didn’t get tickets, so we ended up leaving and going to a friend’s house to watch the game, but wanted to tailgate to celebrate my besties birthday.  Maybe by the time our next home game rolls around it won’t be blazing outside….



2.       In “summer coming to an end” news, we are headed to Beaufort this afternoon for the holiday weekend and what is normally to me the “end of the summer.”  I know in SC it is still SUMMER for a WHILE and hell, It’s really even officially summer until September 22…but Labor Day is the non-official end and normally after that, football gets so busy I just don’t find as much time to be in a bathing suit/enjoying summer activities.  We are having family pictures made down there, which will also be C’s “18 month” photo session.  Can’t believe my little girl is so old. 

3.       Supper club ideas.  We are in a supper club that meets once a month and we LOVE it.  However, our turn to host again is coming up and I’m clueless as to what to fix!  We are hosting next Saturday, during the Carolina/Georgia game, so maybe do a football themed/tailgate?    Okay, that’s definitely what I am going to do….now on to Pinterest to find more fun ideas!

4.       Although….I am a SUMMER girl, I CANNOT wait for FALL TV to start back up.  Seriously.  TV is horrible in the summer…I guess the good thing about that is we spend so much more time outside and later in the evening…I don’ t miss it that much, but SCANDAL and NASHVILLE are calling my name!! We’ve just been using Redbox for movies, but I think I am going to have to renew our membership to Netflix so I can see what all the rave is about with Orange is the New Black and House of Cards. 

5.       Y’all know I am crazy, right?? I’ve already admitted how I am constantly dreaming of the next step…it’s legit crazy.  But, it’s who I am.  I’m currently trying to contemplate whether I would live in a much smaller, much less nice house (I know that grammar makes no sense, just go with me here) to live ON the lake.  No worries, friends…we aren’t moving anytime soon.  Mikey rolls his eyes at my ideas.  But, it’s something I ponder.  I am so into decorating and have SO many ideas about houses, what I want to do, etc. I wonder if I could give it all up to live on the lake for a few years.  We obviously can’t afford a house on the lake right now that is as nice as ours, or nicer…and even the houses that are pretty nice/big but old still aren’t in our price range…so I wonder if I would live in a teeny house that’s old for a bit , but ON the lake and SAVE to build a bigger house on the lake.  Hmmm….  Again, I know…I am nuts.  Just ignore it.

Anyways, happy FRIDAY friends!!!

xoxo

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...
