Monday

Where did my house go?

It has been over taken by boxes of diapers, high chairs, contraptions to keep baby entertained when you are not holding her/she is crawling, johnny jumpers for the doorways and lots and lots of puffs.

I was a little worried during my pregnancy that I would not be able to handle the mess that comes with a little person. Thankfully, I have been surprised at how easy it is! I don't mind picking up her bunny stuffed animal or little plastic cups she likes to drink out of or half chewed puffs or pieces of papers she rips up. Its a JOY. Now why can't that transfer to picking up after yourself or your husband?

Baby got back

whoa.

where did THAT come from?

hahahaha

no special effects i promise.

molly mae, you are awesome

even when your not doing anything you put a smile on my face.

you are my dream come true sweet girl.

Last night.

Last night I ate leftovers.

I re-organized my bedroom and my hall closet.

I did several loads of laundry.

I watched one episdoe of Fraiser.

Then

Jenna arrived.

We got into our pjamas

We had lots of girl talk.

We tried to watch Parenthood but we just kept thinking of things to tell one another

It was SO good for my soul.

Then

Allen came home from work.

He got Jenna to try a "who nu?" cookie

we laughed a lot

we watched Parenthood

Then

we went to bed.

It was a great AWESOME night.

Randomness

1. I like Special K Vanilla Almond
2. Shopping at Target is always more fun with Allen
3. My husband can make a mean pasta sauce.
4. Yesterday I wore fall boots for the first time. They were a hit with my students!
5. I miss my home in St. Simons Island
6. My dad is awesome.
7. I appreciate it so much whenever someone reads my blog and leaves a comment.
8. Why is it so hard to find a good Chinese food place?
9. Some friends of mine recently adopted a beautiful baby girl and my heart overflows for them.
10. I wish the weekends were longer.

Why?

Does Chick-fil-A have to be so good?

Our life recently in photos....

 Molly and Jack finally meet

 Lunch date with Mama

First time on the swing!

A letter for Friday

Dear Husband,

Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your early morning hugs. Thank you for getting up at 2 am and soothing our daughter back to sleep. Thank you for my new digital camera because you know how much documenting our life means to me. Thank you for always wanting to know about my day. Thank you for asking me to marry you 2 years ago under the moon that was smiling on us.

I love you dearly. I am so glad we get to share in our life together.

Seperation Anxiety

Is taking over my life. Seriously.


I might as well put up a tent in Molly's room because I figure that is the only way I can get a good solid nights sleep.

location location location

Guest blogger: Molly

hey ya'll! just wanted to stop by and say thanks for taking time to read my mamas blog. she likes to write and share her thoughts with you so it always means so much to her when you write something back or take a minute to read it. don't ya like my shorts? they are super comfortable. i like them because they have hearts on them and they dont get in my way when i try to crawl like silly dresses do. i wish mama and daddy would let me sleep in their bed, look how soft this blanket is! and no bars? wow, i wanna be grown up too.

i hope your gonna have a fun weekend, i get to spend so much time with mama and daddy it makes me so happy. i love it when they crawl on the floor like me or when mama makes up silly songs to the tune of itsy bitsy spider when i am mad and stuck in my car seat. weekends are the best.

An old letter from husband...

So cleaning out inbox of old email accounts I found some treasures. Letters between me and Allen written long ago when were just friends to newly dating to saying "i love you" and more. It did my heart some good to read and remember our past life where we planned surprise dates for one another and talked about the small details of our days.

Emails now consist of one liners and questions like  can you go to Publix for me" and " how is your headache?" I think we need to put the spark back in our everyday letters to one another even if its just a quick email.

Anyways, found this old picture of my man and an old email to go along with it. Did you know that one time Allen climbed up my balcony to leave porch furniture on the deck because a day earlier I had said that I wished I had a table and chairs? And did you know that on said table he had written a letter along with scripture to go along wit it. He stole my heart early on...

Hello my beautiful and wonderful girlfriend.  I am having a moment of really really missing you right now.  I don't know why it hit me just now, but it did.  I almost want to tear up a little bit thinking about you.  All I really want to do, short of being with you right now, is read your wonderful note you gave me yesterday.  it made me so happy and so thankful that I have someone who thinks so much of me. I am so thankful God has given me you - for that reason specifically.  i love you! - allen.

my love language

is fall.

fall weather
fall fashion
fall activities
fall holidays.

On the way to work this morning the temp read 60 degrees! How amazing is that!! I know that since Georgia's weather is moody that Saturday might be back up in the 90s but I am going to celebrate this amazing weather with hot tea, walks around the neighborhoods and wearing a scarf!

Have a happy day!

A walk around the neighborhood

the other night we went on a little walk.

i am sure the neighbors thought we were theives.

we're not.

somehow a house a few streets over a home got our recycle bin and we went to get it back.

mr. neighbor knew.

we exchanged emails.

we still got some funny looks as we made our way back home.

Dear Diet Soda,

It is time for us to part ways. I know that we have been together for a long long time. Thank you for all the tasty refreshment you have served me over the past decade. I love you with a slice of pizza and a I love you with salsa and chips. Its 2011. I have to choose health over taste.

Sincerly,
Addicted to diet coke
