No pictures this time

I am back from my quick trip to Abby's.

I saw her office and it is cute and spacious. I met her co-workers and was on my best behavior so as to not make her look bad. I would hate for them to think that her sister was a country bumpkin or something like that!

I spent most of my time at her house, which is really pretty (and doesn't smell!). I have pictures and even a video that I will post tomorrow so I will tell more about the house then.

Abby and I had such a fun time together. We unpacked most of the kitchen boxes last night and then went to spend the night at the apartment. Randall was sick-SICK- and he stayed at the house. I don't think he even knew or cared when we left. I felt so bad for him.

Anyway-enough about Randall. Abby and I stayed up late unpacking and then stayed up even later gabbing like sisters do and should! It was such a fun time!

We got up early this morning. Abby had to work for a few hours at something the hospital was putting on for the kids in town. I got up, caught up on some Augusta news and then headed to the house. Randall was up and looking better. I started unpacking and then some sweet friends stopped by to see me. I haven't seen Ron, Sue, and Kelly in years-YEARS! It was so good to see familiar faces that I love and love me! They have taken Abby right into their family and I'm so glad she has someone in town that can be like family to her. Thanks for stopping by and for the doughnuts. There is nothing better than a chocolate doughnut. Truly.

So, I made it home safely. Abby and Randall have emptied all the boxes. All they have to do now is clean bathrooms, take down wallpaper, paint a bathroom, paint a bathroom, decorate, and do the floors. Doesn't sound like much does it? HA! Randall is probably saying ugly things to me right about now! They have work to do, but it is going to be a great house. The rooms are big and roomy, the house is pretty, oh yeah, I said I would talk about the house later. I will.

I'm going to go pray with the kiddos and tuck them in bed. I missed doing that last night.

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
