A shower and a salad.

I love working with so many women. LOVE IT! I also love when we take time to do things outside of work. My wing, Wing A, loves mexican food and we always celebrate everything by going to La Fogata. We had a kitchen shower for Whitney on Thursday. So fun! Her kitchen is going to have lots of red in it.

I'm so thankful for my friend, Michele. :) We worked together 5 years ago and were super close, and now we are teaching together everyday. She is my amazing inclusion teacher. We begin and end the day laughing...and somehow, have made it through almost 9 weeks already! I'm blessed!

We had another little celebration at work on Friday and everybody brought salads. A few ladies on my hall requested that I make a layered overnight salad. It looked pretty I thought! I used my friend Laura Ann's recipe. Lettuce, peas, mayo, cheese, bacon, tomatoes, bell peppers. It was so easy.

I'm ready to celebrate again soon!

Mexican, Quail Trail, Valdosta, and Changes...

I have been looking forward to the weekend all week. I knew that our weekend plans were full and that the Seasons were coming to visit!

Friday night we had girls night at Coyoacan in Quitman, GA. We love that place!

We were up bright and early Saturday morning and headed out to Pebble Hill Plantation to walk in the Quail Trail. It was beautiful and we had a blast!

After the walk, we ate breakfast at Hendersons. We had some car issues after breakfast and had to drive to Spence with my Tahoe back side doors open. Hilarious!

We went downtown to shop a little bit, then had ate Leo and Lucy cupcakes family style for lunch. :)

We ate dinner at Roadhouse, then just ended up cheering on our Blazers in spirit. We also visited our favorites, TJ and Target. We ended our night with Starbucks. Of course.

This morning was Sunday School promotion day for adults. We stayed in our same class, but have a new teacher. He is great and I happen to love his wife. We had four new couples in addition to our regular group, so we're excited about these changes!! It has been a gloomy day and we have hung out on our porch a bit and squeezed in a pretty long nap.

Two of our favorite shows start back tonight...Once Upon a Time and Revenge...we're pretty excited! And I have 5 days standing between me and Fall Break. I CAN do it! :)

Happy Tuesday!

I enjoyed the coolest, most beatiful Autumn weather this morning!

The season premiere of Private Practice comes on tonight!!!!

And there is a new episode of Parenthood!

Plus, Mumford & Sons new album came out today! We like them a lot!

Happy Tuesday, y'all!

New neighbors!

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but we have new neighbors. Three new families to be exact! Not only are we thankful that our phase is now filled up....we couldn't have gotten any better neighbors. We knew two of the three families before they moved in, and have since gotten to know the third family. We are all pretty close in age and seem to have a good bit in common. We are all connected either through Junior League, church, or our hometowns! I think it is pretty amazing!

Both Katie, Kyle, Leslie, and Jim are all big Georgia fans, so I knew I wanted to do something in red/black as their housewarming gifts. I found this idea on Pinterest and then added my own spin to it. You know I had to add a chalkboard.

We are thrilled! We have big plans for a block party soon! :)

BLAZERS and Church.

Two of my favorite things!

We cheered on our VSU Blazers last night! We loved it until the end, because we lost. We weren't too happy! However, I was thankful to be back, we love the Blazer Nation. :)

I was so tired the entire drive home. Then when we got home around midnight, I was wide awake. Go figure!

This morning we sang two of my most favorite songs at church during Squad Day!!




The weather was beautiful this afternoon. I wish we could've spent more time outside! Fall is in the air and it is truly like a breath of fresh air for me!

It's Fall Y'all...and a downtown day date!

I'm going to put out the rest of my decorations today!!!

We had blueberry muffins on our back porch to celebrate the new season!

Yesterday afternoon, we squeezed in one last late summer hurrah. We strolled the streets of downtown Thomasville for a little while. I popped in a few of my favorite shops and also picked up the invitations for Billy and Miranda's rehearsal dinner!!

I ended up with one fall treat. A pumpkin chalkboard. It also has a yard stand! Cute, huh?

I think I am going to attempt a burlap banner this morning.

I am starting this today as well.

Reading Psalm 90 this morning and these verses stuck out at me.

12 So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.

14 O satisfy us in the morning with Your lovingkindness, That we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

17 And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and establish the work of our hands—yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful that Fall is officially here (almost)! And pumpkins, mums, dark nail polish, flats, and football too.

I'm thankful for the Shaw Center. And I'm beyond blessed by my Doctor.

I'm thankful for my nights with my little family.

I'm thankful for the internet. I might be too old to go to Passion and live far away from Atlanta, but I can still "participate". I am greatly encouraged by the entire sixsteps records team.

I'm thankful that we are getting things checked off the list for B and M's October wedding!

I'm thankful for movie night! This has to be one of my favorite movies ever.

I'm thankful for Bible Study and His word (I own a lot of Bible's in all different versions...this is my second one to fall apart). And I am very thankful for how He changes me.

I'm thankful for amazing lyrics. Like the lyrics from the hymn The Solid Rock that are in the song Cornerstone. Beautiful!
