Yes, The Tag Is For Real...


...Here is the story:

Rand and I went to get our Drivers licences yesterday afternoon and the only thing left to tag in our new home state was his truck. I had tagged the car, boat and trailer earlier in the month. He always gets a DU (Ducks Unlimited) tag regardless, so I knew that was what he was going to pick out. In Arkansas the tags start with AB...and continue on with other letters and numbers.
We all know how rude the DMV ladies are, and our lady was no exception. As she was processing all his papers, I looked at her and said,
"Can you go check and see if you have a DU tag that has 1ABBY on it?" She looked at me as though I was crazy and you could almost see the smoke coming out of her ears. She got up. She went to the DU cabinet. She rejoices in cheer, "Oh, Girl..You ain't gonna believe this!" Then she holds it up...and there it was, in all its glory! She was my new found friend and she had the tag. Score!

Do you believe that the first DU tag in the stack was 1ABBY?? Even if we had not asked for it, he would have gotten it!!!!! Unreal. I am still laughing about it. He....well, not so much. He said he might as well put "Harass me" on his bumper! I love that man!

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
