The Cutest Kids

I was going through my phone this morning and realized something. I have the CUTEST kids in my life. My first love little Rolly Lolly Polly, then there comes little Joshiepoo whom I fell in love with sometime in October, then my little Isabelle Claire my Godbaby!! The picture quality is not great considering they are from my phone but still I love these pictures.







PS I met a new guy.... there might be more on this later! We shall see but im feeling really good about this. Finally a southern gentelman :) Dad, Good guys do still exist.

Having fun

This weekend isn't over yet but so far it has been a lot of fun!

Friday I had to deliver mail at work and I had the best day! The weather was AMAZING and I drove all day with the windows down and the music blaring. I know how bad that seems driving a government vehicle but still its not as bad as it sounds. Nobody has ever told me to turn the music down. :/ haha After work I hung out with my new friend Norrissia she actually works at SPAWAR. We met while she has done tons of copying in my office. I have a HUGe color copier which everyone likes to come use. Anywho after work we met up for happy hour at Chili's that was fun. Once we were done I just didn't want to go home. I have been cooped up in my apartment what feels like everynight this week since I was sick and all. SO we went over to her house which is SO cute and watched Sex and the City the movie. Never before this had I ever seen ANYTHING S&TC so I was sketch about it. LOVED the movie! SO cute!! Didn't get home until almost 1 am my poor Kodie was def neglected Friday.

Today I slept in and met up with my sister and her girls to go shopping. We went up to Kohls where I found my dress for our family pictures. Then we went to the mall didnt get anything there except free panties from VS. Heres the dress:



Im thinking with some flats or just really cute black sandals this dress is PERFECT for our pictures. I think we are having them done in April.

Kodie stayed with my mom all day and played with the boys they had a LOT of fun im sure.

Tonight I went out with Angel to get Mexican which was yummy and then putt putt. It was the perfect night for putt putting as the weather was just AMAZING. Today was gorgeous and im SO glad Spring is FINALLY here. Took long enough!

Tomorrow im going over to Norrissias house to watch NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I am a Twilight addict and im so excited to watch New Moon again!

Well im off to bed. Have a wonderful weekend!

Prayer Needed

Hey everyone,

I came across this blog over twitter today. Please keep this girl and her family in your prayers. She just lost her husband to the war in Afghanistan this past Monday. She is going through so much I feel horrible for her. She just had a baby girl I think over a month ago... the baby will never meet her heroic father. Check out her blog and keep her in your prayers.

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... I could win the lottery REAL soon, and I would still work but travel A LOT!

If I won the lottery I think I would still work just to not get bored. I don't think I would do the job I currently have but maybe something fun like work at a cute store or something. Maybe even try to become crafty and start an Etsy store. I do know one thing though I would travel A LOT!!! So maybe I could become a travel agent that way I could give good advice from experience, right? haha But my very first trip would have to be to FIJI




OR we could just go to Bora Bora you know whichever is better.

Drayton Hall

Yesterday my Aunt and I took our dogs out to Drayton Hall. The weather started out really nice BUT then it turned dark/cloudy... THEN windy... then the cold rain started. It was rather depressing to be honest. The dogs had a great time as did we. Here are some pics!









Last night I had the bright idea to let Lola sleep over. Well we did have a great time minus the whole sleep deal. She is a wiggle worm!! And I am very particular when it comes to how things are when I sleep. Needless to say Aunt Sara is VERY tired right now. lol but all in all still fun.

Since I had Lola I decided to go to her church this morning since my parents weren't going to ours. I am not a fan of sitting alone. It was really good a bunch of people stood up and shared their stories. This one little girl had the entire church in tears just because she was like 5 and so sweet. Hopefully the rest of the day is fun!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Wishful Wednesday

Kelsey over at The Seattle Smith's is doing another fun wishful Wednesday. This weeks topic is:

'I wish' .... I could wear/could have worn _____ dress on my wedding day!

So since I have not been married yet (hopefully one day) I decided to google some dresses that I would love. I didn't see prices but who cares if im just daydreaming :)

So here are my choices:



This dress I thought was elegant yet simple. Seems more my style not too "showy"



Now this dress is closer to what I have always dreamed about. I always see myself in a "princess gown" but then reality chimes in and I think I would just die from being so hot in this one. But I still love the look.



I thought this one was a little best of both worlds. Its in between puffy princess dress and the first non puffy one up top. Details but not TOO much details. I thought it was very pretty to say the least.


Who knows since im still single I have awhile to decide :)

Silly

After work yesterday the weather was TOO gorgeous to go to the gym. At least thats what my friend Matt told me. haha SO the only person who was available to go to the beach to walk was Lola. Well by the time we were out there it had gotten too cold to really walk. SO she stole my jacket haha so I was freezing. How funny does she look in my hoodie!?! She thought it was too funny! I have to agree with her on that one. Evidence below! :)




I am hoping today goes by quickly. I have middle school life group tonight at church. I made brownies last night but I don't think I made enough so I have to go after work and get another box. Plus what middle schooler will only eat ONE brownie. lol or is that just how I work? =) I am pretty excited about going tonight still nervous but thats just because im totally lame! BUT I found a way to bake and not have to eat it which is exciting and I think Kelly completely agreed with that one. See I absolutely LOVE to bake!!! I bake at least once a week but then we have to eat it.... thats the problem otherwise we just waste it. SO heres my solution! :)


Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Tuesday!!

Canoe Trip

Saturday was another BEAUTIFUL day! The previous weekend I told my Aunt Susan I wanted to go Canoe the Santee Canal. We thought we wouldn't be able to but come Saturday morning the weather was great so we went out there. Talk about a PERFECT day! When we were canoeing down the canal it was just SO peaceful. All you could hear was us and some animals otherwise it was just peace and quiet. I was happy the water was still cold because we didn't see any snakes or alligators. Although we did see an Owl, 5 egrets (sp?), an osprey and some other birds which I can't identify. Oh and my Aunts boyfriend caught a turtle IN the water. He swooped his hand in and came up with a turtle. Boys are so weird! Here are some pics from our adventure. They took me to the commissary afterwards and that was awesome because their groceries are so much cheaper! I got a LOT just for a little bit of money. Normally I go grocery shopping spend alot and come out wondering what I bought because I hardly have anything. Maybe I should jump on the coupon bandwagon... nah too much work! haha

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend! Im praying today goes well at work doing something new and hoping I don't mess it up. *crossing fingers*

Beach Day

Friday afternoon was absolutely a gorgeous day in Charleston. While at work I decided I could not just go to the gym/Angels/My Apartment, I HAD to be outside. So I called my Aunt Susan to see if she wanted to take the dogs out to the beach. My cousin ended up calling me so she came with us and brought her dog too. May I repeat that it was GORGEOUS out there! It's finally feeling like Spring is coming although this morning it was rather cold outside. I took some pictures but I never think my pictures do it justice. The dogs had a BLAST! Kodie had the greatest time mainly because of the 2 other dogs though. He loves to play in fact he played with my Aunts boyfriends new puppy yesterday. Finally a dog his size that was willing to play with him. They will defintely have to play again sometime soon. I added some pictures below! I love the Kodie pic thats just because he's my little man.

Etsy

I just wanted to share with you some information for some cute Etsy items I bought. I got them HERE!


The ID reel I LOVE! I have to wear a badge at work everyday. So instead of the UGLY badge reel I was given. I now have this super cute monogrammed one. I got this exact one except with an S of course.



I got the green magnets for my board. They are really cute and have little swirls on the inside.



Now this is my absolute FAVORITE. I thought it would be bigger so I intially was going to put it in my bedroom BUT since it was a little smaller I decided to use it in my office. I got it with a green ribbon which I like more than the pink.

In case you didn't notice my favorite pattern lately is the black and white damask. I just think its so pretty and classy. I think its quite the trend lately because I see it everywhere. I have to stop myself from buying stuff because im scared my bedroom will look like damask threw up all over it. haha

Anyways I just wanted to share this etsy shop with you guys. The lady was really nice and easy to work with.


Have a GREAT Thursday!!!!

Beautiful

I love this song! You can listen to it HERE


LITTLE GIRL FOURTEEN FLIPPING THROUGH A MAGAZINE
SAYS SHE WANTS TO LOOK THAT WAY
BUT HER HAIR ISN’T STRAIGHT HER BODY ISN’T FAKE
AND SHE’S ALWAYS FELT OVERWEIGHT

WELL LITTLE GIRL FOURTEEN I WISH THAT YOU COULD SEE
THAT BEAUTY IS WITHIN YOUR HEART
AND YOU WERE MADE WITH SUCH CARE YOUR SKIN YOUR BODY AND YOUR HAIR
ARE PERFECT JUST THE WAY THEY ARE

THERE COULD NEVER BE A MORE BEAUTIFUL YOU
DON’T BUY THE LIES DISGUISES AND HOOPS THEY MAKE YOU JUMP THROUGH
YOU WERE MADE TO FILL A PURPOSE THAT ONLY YOU COULD DO
SO THERE COULD NEVER BE A MORE BEAUTIFUL YOU

LITTLE GIRL TWENTY-ONE THE THINGS THAT YOU’VE ALREADY DONE
ANYTHING TO GET AHEAD
AND YOU SAY YOU’VE GOT A MAN BUT HE’S GOT ANOTHER PLAN
ONLY WANTS WHAT YOU WILL DO INSTEAD

WELL LITTLE GIRL TWENTY-ONE YOU NEVER THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD COME
YOU STARVE YOURSELF TO PLAY THE PART
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THERE’S A MAN WHOSE LOVE IS TRUE
AND HE’LL TREAT YOU LIKE THE JEWEL YOU ARE

SO TURN AROUND YOU’RE NOT TOO FAR
TO BACK AWAY BE WHO YOU ARE
TO CHANGE YOUR PATH GO ANOTHER WAY
IT’S NOT TOO LATE YOU CAN BE SAVED
IF YOU FEEL DEPRESSED WITH PAST REGRETS
THE SHAMEFUL NIGHTS HOPE TO FORGETS
CAN DISAPPEAR THEY CAN ALL BE WASHED AWAY
BY THE ONE WHO’S STRONG CAN RIGHT YOUR WRONGS
CAN RID YOUR FEARS DRY ALL YOUR TEARS
AND CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT THIS BIG WORLD
HE WILL TAKE YOUR DARK DISTORTED VIEW
AND WITH HIS LIGHT HE WILL SHOW YOU TRUTH
AND AGAIN YOU’LL SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF A LITTLE GIRL
