It's a beautiful day!Don't let is slip away....You've got to get yourself together,You got stuck in the moment and you can't get out of it...one love...one life...If you haven't figured it out by now, all of these songs are by one of our all-time favorite bands....U2!Next week, Raleigh and I are going to see these crazy lads in Hotlanta. We got to catch their concert once before and it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E (I am totally pulling a cheer right now) AND, to make the week even...

Hey friends,I just want to go ahead and prepare you...this is not a light read for a Friday! But, I think it is something that we all have gone through so please take a moment when you have time to digest what I am about to say.I truly believe that God puts certain people in our lives for specific reasons. I also believe that He puts us in lives of others as an opportunity to share His love. I don't believe in coincidences, I fully believe that God speaks to us through our circumstances. The main message that I am going to be speaking about today is DO NOT LOSE HOPE IN OTHERS.Let's face it: growing up is hard to do. I know these words sound so cliche but we are constantly dealing with peer pressure...

0 Puppy Love

The other day I realized that two of my family members have yet to be mentioned on this blog....our pups Obi and Lu Lu! I love these two dogs like they are my children. Lu Lu is going to be four (thank goodness she will be out of the teenager age) and Obi will be two this October. For any of you that know me, you know I can't have what everybody else has. That goes for dogs just as much as clothes. Lu Lu is a five pound Schnoodle - a Schnauzer and poodle mix - and Obi is...

I am one of those people that needs to eat and sleep. If I don't, I get very cranky and irritable. It is a horrible trait, yes I know, but it is who I am and those around me have learned to deal with it over the years. A perfect example of my meltdown mode happened this summer when my family went to Disney World. On our last full day before we went home, the Ridley's went to the classic Magic Kingdom. This was mine and Raleigh's first time to go to Disney together so we...

2 Thirteen

Hey friends,Hope everyone is staying dry on this rainy day! I don't know about you, but I am sure glad today was hump day. Only two more days until the weekend! We are heading back to Auburn this weekend to tailgate with some of Raleigh's architecture friends. They are a fun crowd and we are looking forward to hanging out with everyone in a big group again! Raleigh and I have always been the type of people that have multiple groups of friends. This group is our crazy group. The very first time I hung out with them in college was at their studio party that was 80's prom theme. Everyone was dressed up in neon colors and we were totally throwing a dance party with moves that would make...

1 Change of Season

In Alabama, it is hard to truly define seasons changing. I usually get the feeling of a change in season when different activities begin. For this season, football has taken over so I am sure fall will soon follow. This past weekend, we were in attendance to not one but two football games. On Friday night, we went to a local high school football game to watch one of our friends coach his team. I was very surprised that the evening actually felt cool and not humid for a change! It was refreshing to think that soon the leaves will start to change colors and I can wear jeans without sweating during the day :) Auburn football took center stage on Saturday as we drove to the loveliest village...

0 While I'm Waiting

Hi friends,I just had to write a follow-up to the blog I posted on Sunday titled, Anxious Expectation. God has a way of making me practice what I preach. I'm not going to go into details, but please pray for me that I will continue to wait patiently for Him to reveal His promises to me and also for me to wait in wonderful expectation.Below, are the lyrics and a music video from the movie Fireproof of a song that has been in my head, John Waller's, "While I'm Waiting." It...
