Sometimes, you just have to get away with the GIRLS

It's coming!!!! SOON!!!!!

These are my ladies. We go see just about every girly movie out together. They will kill me for posting a few of these pictures. But we always forget to take ones when we're out and all dressed up. I don't even think we have one of the four of us.


Lynn, Becky, and LeAnn at LeAnn's shower last fall.

Becky, me, and Lynn at church one Wednesday night.

Becky and I at the Rose Show..eating supper and watching the parade.

LeAnn and I teaching VBS together a few summers ago.

Lynn and I at a luau!

2 summers ago, we sat in the theater all pretty and dressed up after shared appetizers and drinks at Ruby Tuesday's (It is across the street from our movie theater in our little town) and wathced Sex and the City (the movie) and laughed so hard that we cried. And cried. Then went back to RT afterwards and laughed and talked about the movie and the true meaning of friendship some more! Anyway, we haven't been going to as many movies lately. But we will see this one....talking and planning has already begun. Excitment doesn't even begin to explain how how I feel about this!!!






Here is a picture of Matt and I after I got home from seeing Sex and the City. I wore metallic silver sandals that matched those earrings!!! What a fun memory!

Hanging on

I heard this song for the first time today and it definitely spoke to me and gave me hope and encouragement.

Ecclesiastes 3:1,4
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.

Home Sweet...

Hollywood!!! On Oxygen...starts back up tonight. They are having a marathon of past episodes and I may or may not have watched them on and off all day on my first day of Spring Break! :)Matt made the comment that he has never met anyone that cries at so many things as I do(happy and sad) and worries as much as I do other than Tori Spelling. Hmmm...is that a compliment? I'll admit it, it's true.


I washed my Honda Accord, Hannah the Inferno, today. :) Did you know I got her when I was 16? I don't think I've washed this car since I've lived in Thomasville (about 4 years), b/c we didn't have a driveway at our old house and I'm not really one to pay someone else to wash it. The Honda is our beach and ball game car. Matt drives his company car everywhere around town and to work and I drive my tahoe, so we have to use the Honda every other chance we get.


I read a little bit outside in a rocker.


An electrician came to fix a light that had fallen out of the ceiling and he lowered my chandelier finally!!


I have had about 6 tervis tumblers full of ice water! Refreshing and probably because it is so HOT inside.


I found a few things in the garage that I completely forgot we owned.

My cool float that we got last year in Aplachicola.


Our racquet ball racquets. I forgot that we owned our own. See them stacked on top of the Prince tennis racket?


And I found my Karen Kingsbury autograph! Haha!!



Two just because pics:
Blakely as the Easter Bunny :) She actually carried her baseball around with her all day today...she must've known that today was opening day at Turner Field! GO BRAVES!


And I had to share my kids Easter plates at school. They had fruit roll-ups, chips, and more cookies and candy that I am saving for snacks next week.


We are going for a stroll around the block, before I settle in to watch me some Tori and Dean and Dancing with the Stars!! Yahoo!!

Happy Easter!!

But God is so rich in mercy and He loved us so much that even though we were dead because of our sins He gave us life when He raised Jesus from the dead. Ephesians 2:4-5

We started off our Easter weekend with my parents coming into town! Our Saturday basically revolved around food (and shopping)! I wanted to make a big Easter lunch on Sunday, but my parents were leaving for Florida, so we had a traditional "Thomasville" lunch on Sat. when they arrived instead. I made fruit salad, "Savannah" Salad (sort of like Savannah Moon's), ordered in The Scoop's chicken salad (best ever), and artichoke dip. We also had Cape Cod chips, and tea. We drink Crystal light tea in our house.











Daddy and Matt did yard work Saturday afternoon, while mama and I visited a few of our favorite stores. I didn't spend ANY money though. She spent enough for both of us :).






My brother came over from Valdosta for supper. We made Logan County Hamburgers, brocolli casserole, and cut up potatoes. Then my brother requested corn casserole at the last minute. After supper, we were sitting around watching the Blind Side when it started seeming too hot in the house. Sure enough, our air is blowing tons of cold air into the attic (we have a leak) and not into the house. Soooo, that would definitely explain our way high bills the last few months (like $400). I just knew it didn't sound right, but Matt assured me that it was because it was so cold and that we didn't know how our new house heated. It was just strange to me because even in the coldest month (Dec.) our bill was not nearly that high, and we never even bumped the heat up. I digress....the ac guy is coming tomorrow! We are however sweltering!! I was planning on making carrot cake for dessert, but we were all way too stuffed.



This morning was kind of hectic, because my parents were leaving at 8:00 to drive to Valdosta to go to church with my brother at Crosspointe, and we were trying to leave for our 8:30 service at church. Thankfully, we all made it. It was a great service. And we had a nice Sunday nap. We wanted a good picture of us in our Easter clothes, but of course never got one. Here are our outtakes. :)




This last picture cracks me up! Matt was tired of taking pictures and said that he was going to make a Jake the bachelor face! HA!

Happy Easter Y'all!!!

Thankful

But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. -Isaiah 53:5

If we were moving...

which we are not....anytime soon I hope. I would would want to buy this house.



Why, you wonder? Well, it is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to my parents. The back of its fence is basically right by mama and daddy's garage. Sometimes my parents even cut their side yard grass. My brother and I played catch in their side yard growing up. The awesome inground pool and sweet screened in porch are cool too. I asked my parents to buy it for me as a gift, and told them that I'd pay them back as soon as I was rich enough to handle two house payments. It could be my Dublin home. HA!

Seriously though, my dream is to live next door to my parents. I would really love it if they would just move to my town (3 hours away), now that would be PERFECT. But I would miss the awesome neighborhood that I grew up in, and we would miss going back home to visit. Oh well, a girl can dream!! :)

Back to reality...I am on SPRING BREAK!!! I just got a refreshing 12 hours of sleep. I went to bed last night at 8:00 (by accident) and missed Matt's softball game, and my tv-shows. I woke up right as Matt was leaving for work this morning! I guess all the egg dyeing (this is the first time that I have been brave enough to dye eggs with my kids, and I found that my kids are monogram happy!), Easter egg hunting, and Easter partying....wore me out! I also brought our video camera to school and got the cutest footage of my babies hunting eggs, singing, and acting silly and crazy. I mean think about it, a field trip, Easter festivities, a 4 day week, full moon, and Spring Break. I was definitely in survival mode. :)






I am very excited to have 10 days off!! Now, what to do with a full day off and no plans?? First up, I'm going to walk Blakely around the block!
