Sometimes I don't like myself!

Are you like that too?

Please say yes!

Today was the Harmony Association's( the group of Southern Baptist Churches in Jefferson and Lincoln counties) first ladies conference. I was asked along with 3 other preachers wives (Rachel, Melissa, and Stephanie) to coordinate this event. We thought the most that we would have this year would be 150. But 220 signed up and came!

It was great! Lots of women, lots of hairspray, lots of cute shoes, and lots of laughter. Lots of music, lots of fellowship, and lots of Jesus!

Lisa McKay was our speaker. She flew in on Friday and flew out this afternoon. It was my job to get her to the airport. And I did.

And then I left.

And she didn't.

Apparently they wouldn't let her board because it was less than 30 minutes until takeoff. It was 27 minutes until takeoff!

We missed it by 3 minutes!

3 MINUTES!!!

And I LEFT her!!!

Seriously, I was given charge by my fellow preachers wives to get this darn cute preachers wife back home, and I didn't do it.

I'm hoping she got some good airport food and a starbucks to make her smile.

Its almost midnight and I'm still awake, I just found out about this whole fiasco and I may not be able to sleep the rest of the night.

I'll try not to sleep during church tomorrow!

HA!!!

LOL Jules!! I'm HOME!

Please do not fret over the flight..I should have shut my mouth earlier..lol

Seriously, I was out only 15 minutes later and only back home about 45 minutes later than originally planned so no big AT ALL.

What was insane is the flight I was rebooked on was only 15 minutes from my check in time after waiting a sweet forever for the woman to reschedule me. I seriously could have made the first flight easily if they'd have just let me go. Either way, I got to go to Atlanta..didn't even have to change concourses. I got me a fabulous Quizno sandwich, ppl watched and played on the computer.

Girl, can't say enough how much I loved the weekend and becoming real live friends with you all. :) THANK YOU THANK YOU for allowing me to be a part of it..!!

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
