Farm to Formal

If you know My Rand, you know that the only time I have seen him in a suit is the day we married (and he was most handsome). Well, because my new job will have us attending many, many functions in town, he is now the proud owner of a gorgeous black suit and possibly the owner of a new tuxedo. When I told Mama of this grand purchase she laughed so hard. I think it was the fact he went from khaki chinos straight to formal wear, without stopping off at the sport coats. That is what makes it most comical. Plus, if you REALLY know him, you have to laugh at this new reality.
God love him!
Now, I have to find some LBD's. All the cute ones are sleeveless and strapless. Yikes!

Spanx girl-Go get you some, and all the LBD's will look gorgeous on you. Can you wear a SBD?

Is LBD not long black dress? SBD is short black dress.

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 p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
