Happy for Abby!!

I haven't yet commented on my sisters impending move so I thought I would take this opportunity to do so.
I am so happy that her man has found a job that he can (hopefully) love and enjoy so much more than his present one. I think a lot of us have prayed for a long time that he would find a good job where his talents could be used and appreciated.
I am really excited that they are moving to Jonesboro. Stephen and I spent the first 5 years of our married life in that area (the first 2 months in Jonesboro) and I grew to love it much more than I thought possible. I hope and pray that they find good friends, an exciting church and a beautiful home where they can entertain many friends and family members.
I know Abby is getting a little antsy about not having a job there, but we all know that God's will is prefect and we also know that if anyone can bloom where she is planted, it is Abby Jo.
I am also envious for a number of reasons, 1-she is closer to some of my dearest friends than I am. 2- she is going to be in the same town as an Ima's(there is no better store and no better sale!) 3- It is what I consider my 2nd hometown, and who wouldn't want to live in their hometown (well their 2nd one anyway!) 4- she'll get to go to ASU games, I used to love going to ASU basketball games. 5- she is going to get the chance to move in to a clean house. I've only lived here for a little over a year and my place is already dirty!!
Well that is all I have to offer at this time. I am excited for her!!!
Congrats Mandy!!! I'm happy for you, and sad for the others!!!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
