Soul Sisters

Julie is in my town this week...whoo hoo! She invited me to hang out with the pastor's wives on Monday and we were able to get a hug and a fun picture with our blog friend, Judy. She is the mother of the infamous, Kelly of Kelly's Korner. She was as genuine and sweet and she appears on her blog. We loved meeting you in person, Judy!

Julie invited me to a luncheon with all these ladies. It was fun to be apart of Julie's world for a bit. I know nothing about being a preachers wife other than watching my Meemaw and now my sister. I enjoyed getting to meet other women like my sister and understand her world a bit more. I love that she reads the Bible on her Kindle...only Julie!

Julie has such a heart for ministry. I loved listening to her share bits and pieces of her testimony to these women. She was so real, funny and loving. It made me so proud to call her mine!


Julie's Friend Lisa came from another state to speak to the ladies in this fine group. I loved meeting her in person. She was a lot of fun and such a delight to visit with. She came to my house to meet Henry before we took her back to the airport in Memphis. Henry is rather famous from this blog and my Facebook page. Bless it. I thought it was so cute when he went right to her, but cried when Juju tried to take him. So funny!

Having a few days to love on my sweet sister has been a blessing this week. I hate the Fab Four is not here with us, but I am getting over it...slowly! ha. Henry loves having his aunt and uncle all to himself and they are loving having their only nephew to themselves. It is fun times!

Ha! I wrote the post on my blog in a hurry this afternoon and just edited a few little details I realized I had left out. One was how excited I was that Henry came to me and now I'm reading you saying the same thing..lolol Definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

I loved hanging out with you girls so much. Just wish the time had been longer. Love you Sisters!

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
