A Week Recap

So, it's been a while since I've checked in with you. Last week I had to go to the beach for vacation. I'll blog with pictures later this week.
We got back from vacay last Saturday night and hit the ground running. We had a non-stop week. Besides school, basketball practice and church we had See You At The Pole pre rally Tuesday night. It was a great time for the kids to get together prior to meeting at the pole Wednesday morning.
The above picture is at a birthday lunch for my friend Stephanie (not pictured). This is my friend Nomi. The lady that seated us wanted to know if we were sisters. What??? We decided that it had to be because we were both on the chubby side, other than that we look nothing alike. Nomi is such a sweet friend, God has truly blessed me with Nomi and Stephanie. I couldn't have asked for better friends for this season (and hopefully all the rest of the seasons) of my life.

Thursday was Senior adult and student day at the fair. Some of our homeschool friends met us there. They gave out free hotdogs and sad, watery Cokes. We wanted to extend our fun, so we drove across the street to Sonic and enjoyed some happy, delicious Cokes! Yay Sonic! Stephanie is the second one on the right(the youngest looking one of the group.) It was a beautiful day and we had a great time together.
I treasure these ladies and the friendship we have and the friendships our children have. God has answered so many prayers.
It's been a busy week with appointments, emotions, and everything else but it has been full of fun. I hope your week was too.

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
