Um...what was that?!?!?

A couple of weeks ago on my lunch I needed to run by the bank, so I jumped on one of the “know” main roads and headed out. I travel this road quite often, so when I turned on to it I turned the radio up and was just cruising down the road. The street is completely straight, and have exit ramps to leave the road. As I mosey on down the road I notice this big sign that normally isn’t there…..and thought “did I just see that?” I continue down a little more and see another sign about the same size on the opposite side of the road so once I passed it I turned around to see what it said. Puzzled once again. The first thought that came to my mind was, a church or group must be having a scavenger hunt. My theory was quickly shot, when about 3 miles later I saw another huge sign…..this one said…….”Welcome To Georgia…The Peach State.” Duh…I knew where I was!

If you ever travel from state to state once you arrive to the next state line you are always welcome by one of the signs. However….I was nowhere near another state. Especially “North Carolina,” “Virginia” or “Maryland” the first signs I saw. I then saw that two lanes were closed, and there was a HUGE film crew, camera’s and people everywhere……they were shooting a movie!! How cool!! Come to find out it was a new Jennifer Anniston movie shooting, “Wonderlust” and she was in town about 15 minutes from where I was at a little café shooting a few scenes. Recently, our current Governor passed a law letting movie companies to have a huge tax break if they came and shoot movies here. Well we have been seeing a lot of this lately and it’s kind of cool, to pass one as they were filming…..maybe you’ll see my big-ole car in the scene shot on that road!

Kind of neat to watch a movie and know exactly where there are!

Happy Halloween!!!

The boys where so excited for Halloween! My mom had taken Christian and Jadon out a few weeks before to Party City and them pick out there own costume. Christian decided on a Knight from The Chronicles of Narnia movie, I think mostly so he could carry a sword. Since Jadon loves Toy Story 3, it was only fitting he choose Buzz Lightyear! I decided that since Colin loves Elmo, and we had a costume handed down to us from my sister it would work just fine!

A couple of weeks prior to Halloween I pick up a few metal buckets from Home Depot and sprayed painted them neon green. Then Christian, Colin and Jadon got to decorate there own Trick or Treat buckets. They turned out great and the boys enjoyed having something of their own.

 

 

 

On Halloween night we headed over to my parents house for dinner, and then the kids got all dressed up and ready to go. For the most part they did great, there was the occasional "it's my turn to ring the doorbell" but overall we had a great time.

From a Knight, Elmo, Buzz Lightyear and a Bumble Bee Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Birthday Jennifer!

Happy Birthday to the best friend anyone could ever had. Jennifer and I met way back in high school, ninth grade if I'm correct in English class. I was wearing, apparently a cheap pair of sandals and they broke. From then we have been best friends....actually more like sisters. High school was a blast, and I have so many memory's of our many night's out. She was there when I met Michael, and I was honored to have her in my wedding. She was a shoulder to cry or lean on when I lost my brother. When I gave birth to Christian and Colin. I was honored to be in her wedding and happy I was able to be part of her and Nathan's special day. Birthday, Holidays, good days and bad not matter what I know the she will be there for me. I am so happy to have such a great friend who accepts me for who I am, even though sometimes I think she would like to smack me upside the head, but that's what friends are for.

Happy Birthday....to one of the very best friends anyone could ever ask for! I love you and wish you many more great birthday's!!

It's A Jungle Out There.....

A few weeks ago Christian had his first little play of the year. All the first graders preformed “It’s a Jungle out there!” Christian’s class where all monkey’s such fitting for him since sometimes he thinks he’s a monkey jumping from furniture to furniture! It was so cute! He had been singing songs weeks before so I knew a little of what was going to be going on. Mom and Dad made the show, and we recorded it for Michael to see. It was such a cute performance, with a cute little lesson about life! I love being able to see him up there singing and having fun!!

 

Happy Birthday Adelyn!!!

Happy First Birthday Adelyn!! A couple of weeks ago Adelyn turned 1!! We were all very excited to celebrate a little girls birthday, since up until now the past 13 years have been all about boys! Everything was PINK, and princess!! At one point it looked like someone poured a bottle of Pepto Bismol all over the kitchen. I must say I enjoyed buying a gift for a little girl, pink, ruffles, and baby dolls….such a change! I LOVE my boys, but it’s nice to see something other than cars, trucks and trains! Happy First Birthday Adelyn!!!

 

 

 

 

Happy Anniversary!!!

Nine years ago today I married my best friend. I can't believe it's already been nine years, but I guess time goes by when your having fun! We have two of the most adorable and loving boys anyone could ever ask for. I love him more and more each day.

Happy Anniversary hunny, I love you and can't wait to see what the next 50 years has in store for us!

 

Busy...Busy...Busy...

Wow, things have been really crazy! I never thought it would be so exhausting with Michael out of town working! But guess what…I’m exhausted!! I guess you really don’t know how much the other person helps out and does until they are not around to help you. Not that I never appreciated him to begin with, but I guess it’s the little things he did that I’m now doing. Like taking the trash out….forgotten about 3 times, and a couple of times running to the end of the street in my pajamas while the truck is driving down the road. I must say I don’t think I would have made it to this point without my parents help. They have keep the kids, picked them up from daycare while I worked. Keep one or the other while we hang with friends, and the occasional overnight guests! Thanks mom and dad, I love you!

Let’s see…..between work and school we have been hanging with friends, bowling, football games, spending time with family, celebrating birthdays and a few things in between. Michael has been home two weekends since he’s been gone and we have enjoyed the time together. He will be in training for about three weeks, but at least he’ll be close to home and not another state. We are still alive….just really busy!!
