The Friday five : random tidbits

1.     So it’s monsooning (is that a word?) here.  Supposed to rain ALL day long.  Everyone’s freakin’ out a tad b/c of what happened last year with the flood…hopefully it’s not going to be nearly that bad.  We are supposed to be leaving for Beaufort for the holiday weekend after work…let’s just pray this mess clears out tonight.  But, it did remind me I need to get the kids some new rain jackets. 

 

 

2.     My Gamecocks pulled off a WIN last night, it wasn’t pretty and good gracious it’s still gonna be a long season….but I’m proud of them for not giving up!  Hopefully, it’ll be a good confidence booster and help out team morale!  

 

 

3.     We’ve decided to wait it out a couple more months with Mikey’s dad before moving in the apartment…we’ve kinda got our eye on a house….but it’s complicated.  So, we are waiting it out a bit.  It’s really been fine living with the in laws…thankfully they don’t mind our chaos! 

 

 

4.     I’ve got two more beach weekends coming up and I am SO excited.  As I said…we celebrate summer until the bitter end.  Beaufort with family this weekend and then my ZTA girls beach weekend in Charleston next weekend.  One of my favorite weekends of the year.  So freakin’ pumped.  I saw this and laughed so hard…this is EXACTLY how I feel!




 

 5.     I mentioned working out the other day…I went ahead and joined Barre 3’s newest Columbia location: Barre 3 Lake Murray under their “founding client” special.  I still think these types of gyms (Pure Barre, Barre 3….) are wayEXPENSIVE…but I have LOVED the workouts.  I still think you have to do a couple days of cardio of some form (running/biking/etc.) if you are really wanting to LOSE weight, but I like Barre 3 much better than Pure Barre. It’s much more fast paced and I sweat a lot more.  My plan is to go M,W,F mornings at 6.  ( I didn’t go this morning because we had a LOT to get done….packing up for the weekend, etc.)   Mikey’s been going to F3 (and he’s now obsessed) on T,Th but also likes to do the running group on Wednesdays…so we figured we will just have to switch off Wednesdays…I’m trying to get a friend to join me so I have some accountability, goodness knows I need it.  Send me good vibes that I can keep it up!

 

Happy LONG, labor day weekend!

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...
