New Site

Hello all! I was trying to upload some pictures of the cruise for everyone to see, and the easiest thing to do was to make a "Share Site" with Shutterfly. Since I use them for uploading all my pics anyway, I am just going to move everything over there. Enjoy the new site :)

Amazing...

my life - it's amazing. Nathan and I have had a great few weeks! It's been awhile (again, I know) since I've been on here, but we've been amazingly busy :) We spent Columbus Day weekend on Weiss Lake with some friends from church and had a great time. We were able to ride around out on the lake and go to SandRock, which was so fun. Last weekend we went to the Yellow Daisy festival at Stone Mountain. It was so neat to go again. I grew up - from age 5 to college - going to the Yellow Daisy festival every year to dance, and I haven't been since my last year before college! We - Nathan, me, and his mom and dad - had a great time, and we stayed for the laser show, which I also haven't seen in forever, and it was great. It's so cool to see all the amazing, and sometimes crazy, talents people have. I love it.

I had a great birthday, including the Stone Mountain trip, and a surprise visit from my mom and dad at work. I was on nights this week, so they totally surprised me and brought goodies too. Needless to say all the staff up there on CSU love them now since we all had great goodies to eat all night :)

My fam came down last night to "officially" go have dinner for my birthday with Nathan's fam and Margalena came too! Great fam and great food. Tonight we had dinner at our house, and Edie helped me with everything for SaraBeth's shower tomorrow! It took us all night with two so I'm glad she was there to help. The shower tomorrow will be lots of fun, and I get my bridesmaid dress tomorrow too! Hope it still fits... oy :)

Well, off to another great weekend full of people I love

A Photogenic Puppy and A Beautiful Room!

Last week was a crazy and busy week! Somewhere in the middle I found out that we have a very photogenic puppy. For whatever reason he loves the little orange light on my camera that lights up right before I take his picture. I don't know why he hasn't noticed it before, but he notices it now. Every time I went to take his picture and the orange light came on he looked straight up at the camera and froze! So I took probably way too many pictures of him because it was cracking me up, but here are a few.

Look at that big boy!

This is one of his favorite "sleep spots".

You can't separate a man and his remote... haha :)

In other news, I have been wanting to "finish" the sunroom for forever! I wanted some roman shades to go on the windows, but those aren't cheap, and I have 7 windows back there! I found out that a lot of shades don't come in the length I needed for the sunroom windows, and I certainly wasn't going to pay for 7 custom made shades... so pricey! So I finally found some for 1/2 off, and after two JCPenney's I had all 7. I was able to hang one, and that's it... haha.

And thanks to this amazing man up here, I came home to all the rest up! I just love them! All the furniture's all in the middle for some curtain time!

Then, this amazing woman came and spent two whole days with me in Newnan, and I loved every minute of it! She helped me finish this room as well as another!

Now the sunroom is totally finished... except for a few minor accents... which are there now don't worry :) I absolutely love it! The picture doesn't do it justice, and I just love sitting back there even more now.
