{our weekend}

I left work around 3 Friday to head to ATLANTA for the night.  It was our TENTH annual ZTA girls CHRISTMAS party and I was PUMPED.  8 out of 11 of the girls in attendance still live in Columbia and see each other pretty regularly, but it is rare for ALL of us to be together and for that I am forever thankful.  We took a road trip this year to go to my best friend Brannon’s home in Atlanta.  It was SUPER quick, but SUPER fun.  We used to all get ridiculously wild and go out after we exchanged presents, but this year we decided to do things differently.  We all got coordinating PJ’s and our best friend Becca monogrammed them for us.  We were ready for a GIRL’S NIGHT IN.  The very best kind.  We do a white elephant style gift exchange and it is so much fun.  We get dinner catered and enjoy the evening catching up and making memories.  It is one of my favorite nights of the year.  I was SICK this year, so that didn’t help, but I still made the best of it and enjoyed myself. 

We left ATL by 9:30 Saturday morning and I spent the REST of the day on the couch, it helped that it POURED down rain all day long Saturday.  I was almost in tears Saturday night I felt so bad.  I could NOT get my congestion to break up for the life of me and it was DREADFUL.  I fell asleep at 9 that night and it was heaven. 

I felt a little better Sunday, so we ventured out to church before spending another lazy day at home.   After church, C and I both took naps and then we headed over to my mom’s house to help her finish decorating.  Little C bug LOVES her Granddaddy and Lolly so it was a nice visit with my parents.  Mikey came over later and my dad cooked homemade chicken noodle soup.  A seriously laid back Sunday, that I very much needed. 

Forgot about this... We went out to dinner last Thursday for our Decemeber supper club and had such a good time. Most of our "going out" time now means going to someone's house and hanging out so it's nice to actually go to dinner with a group. Love these peeps.

Can't believe we are LESS than a week away til' Christmas!!

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...
