Throw Back and a scolding.

So, funny story. I always check my e-mail on my BB on the way to work. I DO NOT tweet, facebook, etc. when driving anymore (unless a rare occasion calls for it). I really do think it is dangerous...there have been too many times where I have looked up and had to slam on brakes, etc. You know you all have done that too. The best thing to do is get a book on tape, it's the only way I find that I don't feel the need to check twitter/FB while in the car constantly. Anyways, I digress....so when I say I check my e-mail I really just clear our the "envelopes" that stay at the top when you have unopened messages. I don't ever like to have envelopes, they annoy me. I generally have 8 -12 e-mails/FB notifications to clear every morning...I don't even read them ( I wait till I get to work to do that) I just "clear" them. Well, I *promise Mikey* that I only do this at stop lights...I sit thru tons on my commute. Well this morning...this OLD lady started honking at me like crazy holding her hand up to her ear like a phone...so I politely rolled down my window (thinking maybe it was an emergency and she needed my phone) and what does she do...she starts yelling at me telling me not to drive and text! HOW FUNNY! I started laughing, I couldn't help it, I said not to worry I'm not! She was just so concerned...and NO, I don't buy into the notion that she should mind her own business because if I were driving and texting and not paying attention I could wind up hurting her. Regardless, I got a hoot out of this concerned citizen this morning...maybe we should all speak up a little more!

Now on to my throwback. Last year, this weekend...WAS OUR FIRST HOME GAME!!! Wahooo for that. However, in all the chaos and excitement of the week leading up to it, Mikey came down with the flu! Poor thing. We had friends in town staying with us (his best friend) and he couldn't even go to the game and hang out. He was pathetic. Well, we still went and had a marvelous time cheering on our COCKS. We were playing Florida Atlantic, nothing too exciting, but it's always good times when it is the first tailgate of the year.

It's so funny, starting junior year of college (this is when all of my girlfriends and I got our own tailgate spot, freshman and sophomore years we were too busy running from one fraternity tent to another...so by the time we were big juniors we felt "grown up" and "over" the whole fraternity tent thing, so we got our own spot surrounded by tons of our friends!) all of my girlfriends and I always take a million pictures at tailgate and they all look the same! Besides the clothes, we literally have the same picture starting in 2003! Crazy! This was our first one circa 2009 tailgate season!
A little later in the evening...


GO COCKS!!!

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
