Thankfullness.

This year I have so much to be thankful for.

I am truly blessed.

For a husband who knows there are times to laugh and times to just be quiet.

For a Son who thinks he's a Pirate Super Hero.

For a Daughter who walks around gibbering Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

and giggles when I paint her piggies.

For family who go beyond expectations and love you more everyday.

And for friends who are just as close as family.

Without them, your life just wouldn't be the same.

To the girls in the Land of Blog.

I am thankful for the endless laughter you ladies bring me throughout the day

and the comments you give me.

Ya'll are truly the best.

Steph and Jess will be here bright and early tomorrow morning!

I am thankful they are spending this Turkey Day with us.

It wouldn't be the same if the Fab Four wasn't all together for T' Day.

I hope your Turkey Day is full of thanksgiving and plenty of laughter.

And if you don't celebrate, I hope you enjoy the rest of your week relaxing.

Hubbs is flying to Seattle on Sunday.

This makes me jump out of my bones very nervous.

So, put a little prayer in he makes it to and from in one big HUBBY LUB peice.

I will be going to Birmingham while he is gone.

I'll be spending time with our families.

So, Im not quite sure when I will have time to post.

But I will try and read.

Happy Early Birthday's

to my beautiful sister, Amanda

-and-

to my BESTEST gal frand, Mergz.

I love you both.

I am definitely thankful I have both of you in my life.

Now, Im outta here.

Happy Early Turkey Day Ya'll,

I promised.

It's Monday, its late, and of course I'm still whining about saying good bye to the weekend. I had a long relaxing weekend with the 3 loves of my life.

We walked everywhere this weekend...have I ever mentioned just how beautiful Historic Mobile is? It's breathtaking. We have decided that afternoon walks are going to be a new family affair for us. My camera didn't have enough battery to go on these merry little walk with us, thus is why I do not have pictures of the beautiful little downtown town we live in.

I know I promised you pictures and I did take a few, although it has taken me 10 years a few weeks to get them to you... We're not completely finished with decorating, so it doesn't look all put together yet...but Christmas is just around the corner and we'll be buying lots and lots of new things to put the perfect touch on our little place.

I didn't go crazy wild with pics, but I did pick out my favorite parts of the house. I have a lot to do to this little place. When I'm done perfecting every little thing, you will get the whole shabang. For now, go 'head, take a look.

It's a beautiful sight, while sipping on my coffee and beinganosyneighbor watching those little birdies sit in that tree. This is probably my most fav part of the house.

Your probably wondering why I posted this picture and how it goes together..

Well, these little flowers are a reminder of my biological Mother. I bought her the same ones and sat them on her grave...the cross reminds me of heaven... it's a promise, that I won't have to sit flowers on her grave one day.

That chandiler is over 200 years old. Vintage? I think so.

You see that little 1st little object with some writing on it...I got that on my wedding day.."I kiss better than I cook." Which was very true the first few years of our marriage.

That anchor is more than 60 years old and it was passed down to me from my Great Grandfather...I don't remember him, but pictures are worth a million words.

That little candle holder is the silliest looking thing I own. My nephew gave me the candle and the holder for my wedding shower, I've had it for 4 years and it's little home has always been in my kitchen.My Mommy gave me this to me as my house warming present, along with the goodies inside.

She is so amazing. It's perfect sitting in the little corner in my dining room.

There you go. You've seen a few of my favorite things. There will be more later on down the road. Right now, it's way too late and I need to get to bed. Stephanie and Jesse will be here Wednesday and I have so much to do. I made Hubb's Grandmother's Cornbread dressing tonight...my first time ever attempting this...wish me luck I don't make their faces turn green.

Night Night Ya'll,

Santa, I've been real good this year.

I'm just a little spoiled Loved around my parts.

I'm told a lot that I don't do enough for myself.

Which could be a smidgin of the truth.

So, this year for a early Christmas present my AUHMAZING Mommy has decided she is going to fill my closet with some of the goodies I have been swooning over since they hit the rack!

My Mom= the. coolest. momma. ever.

I love her to the moon and back.

Truth be told.

I'm a bargain shopper ladies.
Delia's is my place, always has been, always will be...

Ugh, Im in love with you.

I can't wait to snuggle up in you.

PS: I love your little Anchor buttons.

Find it here.These are definitely my favortie of the Season. Find here.

PS: I can't wait to wear you with my little black dress, my cozy gray cardi, and those sweet gray tights.

Find it here, along with some more scarfness.

Whew. I love me some Delia's.

I think if I ever met her, I would have to confess my undying love for her.

Alright, I'm done swooning ladies. Have an amazing weekend. I promise by Monday you will have pics of Little Yellow House.

I PROMISE.

XOXO,

Lets talk some bizzznasss.

Hi my Darlings!

Alright, first things first.

I am NO whiner.

I have to apologize to ya'll.

It completely sounded as if I was throwing myself a pity party over here.

I promise, I wasn't.

I'm a open book here, so whatever I'm feeling falls right on these imaginary lines.

Ya'll are always the best!

Thank Ya'll for all the sweet comments and words of encouragement.

Ya'll Rock mystinkinsocks.

Now to the bizz we were suppose to be talking.

My last post got me thinking not only about being atotalcrybaby whiny,

but about being insecure...

No matter the weight I've gained,

I am beautiful, I am strong, and just as intelligent as I was 20lbs lighter.

I mean really?

What the shimmy was I thinking being so rough on myself?

I come here and all my insecurities seem to disapear when Im talking to you, the world, and everyone in between, but the minute I am face to face with the them, I fold with fear. Fear being the thought of not know what they are thinking of me when I walk by.

When I am here you read me inside out.

I let the world inside my life and I do not fear what they have to say.

When I am face to face with the world they see me outside in.

Judgement.

Even if its good or bad.

It scares the heck out of me.

The hardest judge we will ever face is ourselves.

Here I am.

Completely happy.

Undeniably confident.

Here's to new tomorrows and being completely happy with just who I am... inside and out.

Much Much Love,

Just a little break.

I know 7 days ago I promised you I would post pics of this little place we now call home, but girls...I needed a break. Things have been crazy around these parts lately. Unpacking, IDA coming through and doctors appointments. Yeah, there's too much going on for my little head to keep up with. Seriously, its been quite draining. Last Tuesday I started on new medication, actually 2 different types of meds. I have HypoThyroid, which means I am a fatty patty these days. Gaining this much weight (Momma always said Ladies never ever reveal thier true weight) in the amount of time I have gained it has seriously drained me, emotionally and physically. So, with that being said, Dr. Makemymouthwater (my doc is quite the hotty pants) up'd my thyroid meds and said I needed a metabolism boost so gave me some Adipex to help me jumpstart my weight loss journey. Girls, if you don't know about Adipex, it makes you feel like you could run a TRILLION miles. So, now that I'm this journey to fit into some skinnies I will be updating you along the way, wish me luck! Lets move onto this weekend.



This weekend was one of the best weekends a girl could have. It all started Thursday when Mergz came down. We really got the chance to sit down and look at her wedding plan book and go over colors, dresses and decor! Loved every stinkin minute of it. Rewind a little bit. Tuesday I entered Hubbs into a Military appreciation giveaway. I had to write why I thought he deserved to win. Because well, he's just an amazing kind of guy and he totally deserves it... well, Thursday night around 7, Dana from Cat Country, called me!!! How crazy is that?? I was completely shocked, I was certain some one else had already been picked. Justin won Lynard Skinner tickets, 2 free 1 hour massages, and $1oo gift certificate to Melting Pot. WOO HOO! So, Justin decided not to go to the concert, but he had OH so much fun playing Rumy with me and Mergz... I mean come one, who wouldn't love playing cards with two AUHMAZING gals like us?? I kid, I kid. Saturday, was filled with all of Mergz favorite things to do! Christmas Jubilee is heaven for ladies who LOVE Christmas. There are vendors out the WAHZOO there. Ahh...shopaholic LOVE. After we spent almost 4 hours there we decided to head off to get our complimentary massages...Girls, I have to be honest, I've never ever had a massage, woah woah woah, ladies it was heaven and now something I have to give into everysinglemonth. Also, it was an awesome way to spend the day with your bestie. Oh, to top the day off, we got sushi, YUM. So, you see my weekend was full of relaxation. Just what I needed after these last few weeks. I have been popping in and out catching up slowly but surely on your post. I will be back with pics tomorrow of the house, but I make no promises. Like said its just been too dang busy around here. I've sure missed you girls and your comments!!

Much Love,

The Beauty of Moving.

Friends!! I have so much to share with ya'll! I am so behind and I can't wait to catch up on your lovely post! This past weekend I had a blast moving into Little Yellow House! I know MOVING...BLAST in the same sentence???!! Yes, that right. I had so much fun. Justin's Mother spent all last week with us helping us get ready for the move because of my BUM ankle. ANKLE UPDATE: It still hurts, but whose got time to wobble around when you have two kids and a new house that needs tending to!?! Justin's grandparents drove down on Thursday and they are heading out in the morning. Ida kept them here an extra day, which is fine by me, they are such a joy to have around.

Oh and IDA was my first Tropical Storm, which is kind of exciting, becuase I totally freaked out. Haha. We moved all weekend and spent lots of family time together! Which was much needed. The boys watched the game and us girls went to the Greek Festival around the corner on Saturday. FYI the GREEK ORTHODOX Church is simply breath taking inside. So, after all that fun stuff we went to grab a bite to eat for Justin's Moms birthday!! Like said this weekend/move was a blast! Everything is out of the apartment and we are all moved in, but still unpacking like little rats.

Oh and I made some yummy guac Saturday before we left for Greek Fest, who knew guac went so well with some crisp white wine.

Nicholas made my day on Sunday. While he fed the squirels out in the back yard with his Paw Paw he decided to pick me something pretty. His heart is so big. Those big brown eyes make my heart melt EVERY TIME he gives me a hug or smiles at me. I love the innocence of a child.

Well ladies and Gents, thats all for now. Just thought I would let you in on how the move is going. I promise to take some pics of our new little house all glammed up and post them throughout the week. I know I have said it a million times before but, I'm officially in love with this house, it just makes a girl feel classy in her robe, morning breath, bed hed and hot pink flip flop slippers.

Ya'll have a lovely Wednesday,

I missed Y O U!

Oh my goodness Dolls, it has been too long. I hope you all had an amazing weekend!! I absolutely had a GUH-REAT weekend....MINUS wet grass + my clumsy feet = MY SPRAINED FOOT. Oh yes, you read exactly right... SPRAINED ladies, t-minus 4 hours before we went trick or treating. I forgot how much I HATE crutches. How bad a sprained ankle sucks. So, I had to sit in the car while my little Vampy and Ballerina trick or treated up and down the hills in the subdivision...it sadden my heart, but they totally put a smile on my face with their little cute selves. Look at my munchins, they are just too cute, they make their Momma P R O U D.

Excuse the quality of these pics, my darling Hubbs took pics while I was standing on one foot on those LOVING crutches. So, here you have my little baybay's. Aren't they just precious. Said they make their Momma PROUD!

On to some more great news we move into Little Yellow house this weekend, I KNOW I KNOW!!! WOO HOO!!! EXCITEMENT RIGHT? DUUUURRRHH!!!!

Well, I'm off to totally catch up on all of ya'lls stuff. I have missed ya'll UBER much!!! Glad to be back for tonight...tomorrow we will be moving boxes to the house and through next week we will be getting unpacked...I won't be around here for a a few days but I will be back with pics of OUR little house. Hope ya'll are having a wonderful week.

Love ya'll bunches,
