Didn't Forget

Just wanted to drop in to say that I haven't forgotten about the blog! I know that it has been a month since I last updated. I have had all the intentions of blogging, but every time I sit down something else catches my attention! Plus there hasn't been much motivation! To catch up from the last blog, the pictures that I had developed weren't that great! Kinda bummed that I had to pay $7 to get them back, but so goes the life! My original idea from the last time was going to be about Bridesmaid dress and what is the after life for them....all mine are in the guess closet! What have y'all done with your old dresses? Should I shorten the ones that would look good for another occasion?(Sense the sarcasm) I had just bought the movie 27 dresses and it was just an idea, but as y'all can tell it never turned into an actual blog!

May has been a good month so far. May is my birthday month! YAY!!!! It was a great birthday all around! Turning twenty-six wasn't that bad! I don't feel older, however I am closer to the big 3-0 and that I am not pumped for! I have had a few friends who have struggled with getting older, but it just hasn't hit me yet! I feel like it should have hit me like a mack truck by now, but I think it's by God's grace that he has kept me grounded! I think we all know that I can over analyze a situation and we don't want it to come to that point! I am happy with my life! I have a great support system! My family is Ahhhhmazing and my friends are such a blessing to me! I hope that this year is as fun as last year was!

I got to celebrate this year on a few occasions that were really neat! First of all, my mom arranged for some family and friends to have dinner up on the roof top of McCray's in downtown L'ville! It was so cool being outside to see the sunset! It was a great time! Then the following day Amanda, McCall and myself packed up the car and headed down to Dad and Marcy's for a long weekend! The weather report said RAIN ALL weekend, but not a drop feel from the sky! It was so relaxing to just get away! We chilled out on the beach and by the pool during the day while at night we hit the town...SIKE! Amelia Island doesn't have much night life, but we made due with nice dinners and lots of laughs! Thanks again Daddy and Marcy! Your hospitality is beyond words! Here are a few pics from our night out at the Ritz:


Last weekend, my brother-in-law Larry, graduated with his masters degree from Southeastern Seminary! It was great to see him walk across the stage! These past few years he has worked so hard and we are all proud of him! To bad he isn't all the way done, he now has 4 more years of Doctoral work to do! YOU CAN DO IT LARRY!! It was a full weekend of great family time! I can never get enough of that. Anna Kate and Abby are too CUTE for words! I just can't get enough of them! AK is just so smart that every time she saw my iPhone she knew how to turn it on, slide to unlock the keys and could figure out all the applications! It blew my mind and I never showed her how to do any of it! Abby Claire is so FUNNY! She is talking now and it cracks me up! I love to hear her say certain words and her laugh is precious! We have become great buds! The whole family @ graduation and a few pics of sisters:


This week is 'my kids' last week of school so things are kinda crazy, but winding down at the same time! Tomorrow night the gang is going to see Kenny Chesney in concert....cross your fingers that the rain holds out! Just wanted to leave y'all with a cool side recipe that I made tonight. Its weight watches for all those who want to watch there points as well as for those who just love new ideas!

2 Baskets- Cheery Tomatoes
1 tsp EVOO
2 cloves of Garlic
1/4 tsp of Sugar
1/4 tsp of Oregano
1/4 tsp of Thyme
1/8 tsp of crushed Rosemary
3/4 tsp of fresh Basil
eye it-Salt and Pepper

Mix it all in a bowl. Spray a small pan with Pam and bake it at 400 degrees for 8- 10 mins! It's delicious!

Hope everyone is doing good! Not sure who still reads this random site, since I never update, but if you still do please leave me a comment and let me know so that I feel somewhat motivated to write for someone!
