Last weekend we got to go down to College Station to celebrate Mellie's 21st birthday with her...we had a WONDERFUL time! I still can not believe that my little sister is 21!! I am so proud of the woman that she has become and am so thankful to not only have a beautiful and wonderful little sister, but a BEST friend! I love you honey!
So I walk out of the room for just a minute and walk back in to see Bo carrying around our remote in his mouth. Oh what is it with boy's and their remotes?!
I can not believe that my little sister is turning TWENTY-ONE today! It seems like just yesterday we were playing dress up and barbie dolls (what wonderful memories we will always have together!). I am so so very proud of the beautiful woman that you have become! I hope that on this very special birthday, you feel extra special, and are reminded of how much you mean to me! I love you best friend...more than you could ever possibly know. Thank you for always being there for me and for being someone that I truly look up to. Happy birthday!!! (and cheers to the celebrations that will take place this weekend!) I love you!
Happy birthday to the woman that I look up to, admire, respect, and strive to be like...to the woman that I have the privilege to call mom and am blessed to have as one of my very best friends. I love you more than you could possibly know momma and I hope that this year on your birthday, you have an extra wonderful day filled with love because you deserve nothing but the best. Thank you for all that do you for us! We love you!
I know that some (including my husband) think that One Tree Hill might be silly, drama filled, and unrealistic...but I must admit, I L-O-V-E the show. The season started this week and I can't wait to find out what will happen next! The show is addicting I tell ya, and it's got me!
I was thinking this morning of everyone going back to school...and after having been in Aggieland last weekend, I must admit, Drew and I were missing the college "not a care in the world" lifestyle! We would not trade our life now for anything and we LOVE our life, but the memories that you are overwhelmed with when you go back to College Station makes you miss it. This week during the first week of school was always so fun, because really you didn't have much to do other than play! I do not miss the class/tests/papers part of school though, that, I never want to experience again! So here's to you all of my "first day of school" kiddos, enjoy every moment!
I love granola now. It's strange, I always was afraid to try it (maybe it was the raisins staring me in the face), but I took the plunge, in my attempt to eat a little healthier, and love it (minus the raisins :)). On a side note, I tried yogurt again and I still hate it. Wish I liked it, but it's just not happening!
I got my hair cut...yup got THREE inches cut off, and I love it! I loved my long hair, but was wanting something a little different. It's still to my collar bone, so its not really short, but its sassy and I love it! Speaking of hair, our hairdryer and my straightener are on there last leg (why do things always go out at the same time?!). I think I am going to go by new ones because it would be just my luck to have them go out while I was getting ready in the morning! Any suggestions on a good blow dryer or straightener? I don't think I will take the Chi plunge yet...Chi's make my hair toooo straight, I definitely still like some body and need some body in this hair of mine!
On Saturday night my hubby took me out on a date night! It was LONG overdue and we had SO much fun! We hit up Chuy's for some yummy texmex and margs and then went to the movies. With life going 100 miles a minute lately and with the newest addition to our family, we needed some alone time...it was glorious! AND Saturday was our 14 month anniversary! I love you so much Drew!
Speaking of the newest addition to our family...he is such a little rascal and we love him with all of our heart!!! We have a play pin set up in our kitchen area for him that we can put him in, for instance, when I am getting ready in the morning and Drew is not up yet, that way his is not in his crate and he is able to run around and eat breakfast and what not (I'm pretty sure that sentence is far to long to be "correct"). Wellll, he has figured out how to fit through the bars of the gate and has become quite the little escape artist! On Saturday morning, I got up at 6am to take him outside to potty, then wanted to get back in bed for at least thirty more minutes, so I put him in his play pin. About 15 minutes later I hear a scratch on our bedroom door, it was our little guy wanting to come in and say good morning! I must admit that when he breaks out he always runs right to find us and has not yet gotten into anything (knock on wood!) He is so adorable! I have some pictures of him that I took this weekend that I will post later once I get a chance to upload them.
I have added a new section to my blog that is a mixture of some of my favorite things! "Crafty, Cooking, Design, Fashionista, Suzie Homemaker Blogs I Love"...check it out when you are bored to get some great ideas from other blogs! Speaking of, lately I have had the itch to shop in a bad way...it's a good thing my birthday is not to far away! :)
Right now, I have two favorite songs...that I'm sure will only be favs for a short time because in no time at all I'm sure that 106.1 will wear them out! Jessie McCartney's "Leavin'" and Kidd Rock's "All Summer Long"...when either one of them come on I simply can not resist crankin the radio up! They are both great songs...you can't help but enjoy them by singing at the top of your lungs and dancing it out while they are on! :)
To wrap up my randomness, this weekend was just wonderful! Drew and I were so very productive...it always makes for a better Monday and a better week for that matter, when you can leave the house on Monday morning with a full fridge, clean clothes, and a clean house.
Cheers to a great week everyone!
To all of my sweet teacher friends and all of my girlfriends going back to school today (and especially to my sweet sissy)...have a GREAT first day!
