These are a few of my favorite things....

As we were packing for our move I came across several items that brought back such sweet and special memories throughout my life. I just wanted to share a few of them.





This was mine and Alan's cake topper at our wedding. It reminds me how blessed I am to be married to the man of my dreams.




This was my great grandmother's. Thankful for my family's heritage and knowing where I came from.

I carried these down the ailse at one of my bestest friends wedding a few years ago. They are so beautiful (just like she is.)

I'm not sure who gave this to me, but it's been in my room since I was a little girl. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of my childhood.

I painted this fish when I was pregnant with John David with one of my best friends in the whole world, Marina. It makes me think of her every time I look it.



I painted this when I was 13 on a family vacation to Arizona. One of my favorite memories with my family.

Welcome back, Kotter.

Wow, I created this blog almost a year ago in hopes to share some of my crazy, busy life as a wife, a mom of three, a student and part time waitress. I guess it all consumed me more than I thought, so I'm going to try this again. I'm not going to recap the past 10 months though.

We've had a pretty exciting summer so far. We took a trip to the beach for Mother's day weekend. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful time. The last week of May we went to visit my Pop and Diane in Maggie Valley, N.C. for a couple days before heading over to Hickory, N.C. for Alan's younger brothers wedding. And then this past weekend we went to Alan's dads house in Hahira, Ga. to spend Father's Day with him. We spent all day Saturday at Wild Adventures in Valdosta. The water park was so nice in this miserable heat.

We have some pretty exciting things coming up too. We sold our house in Montgomery a couple months ago and have been on the house hunt ever since. We found several houses that we liked, but kept running into problems. Finally, we found a house that we love and hope to close on it in a couple weeks. Also, John David starts kindergarten in the fall. This mama has anxiety about it almost every day! I cannot believe my baby is starting school.
