2 Pumpkin Shoot

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! Lu Lu and I just got back from a walk to burn off some of that turkey we ate yesterday :) This afternoon is the Auburn/Alabama game and we are going over to my parents house to watch it. My dad is a HUGE Alabama fan so I'm sure it is going to get a little rowdy around the house! I was raised as an Alabama supporter but when I started to look for which college I was going to attend it was hands-down Auburn. Now my heart bleeds orange...

0 Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello my blogging family!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I just wanted to say a quick hello before we head over to Raleigh's Nan Nan's house to eat our turkey and dressing. Today is going to be a glorious day! The sun is shining, the air is cool, and my tummy is about to be full!This morning I actually woke up early because I went to bed early so I got to watch the beginning of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. I saw Spider Man and a clip from the West Side Story. My sister-in-law actually marched in the parade when she was a junior in high school with her dance squad. Pretty cool!After lunch, we are going to the Price's land to do a pumpkin shoot. We did it in his parents backyard two years ago...

1 Unknown Caller

One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am." And he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." But Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." So he went and lay down. Again the Lord called, "Samuel!" And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, "Here I am; you called me." "My son," Eli said, "I did not call; go back and lie down." Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD; The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. The LORD called Samuel...

0 Music & Lyrics

Right now, I am sitting at home in my comfy clothes with endless options of what to do today. I could go to the grocery store this afternoon, take the pups to our new favorite park, or I could simply sit on my couch sipping hot cider and reading a good book. You guessed it...I am on vacation! Please don't be jealous :) I have worked hard for this time off and I am going to enjoy it to the fullest. I really am so excited to have some QT around the house before we head to...

2 Stepping Stones

Y'all, my puppy dogs can't get enough of me this morning. I swear, they are too cute when they wake up. When Obi starts to wake up, he lifts one leg into the air to stretch it out. It is really funny looking. Little Miss Lu Lu rolls on her back and she uses her front two paws to rub at her face as if she is rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Both love a good belly rub as well to get the day going.This morning, Lu Lu was ready for me to get up. I know this because after the alarm went off, she started to lick my face. I know some of you out there will think that is gross and but I really don't mind it because she is so little. After she gets up and I am still laying in bed because I'm not ready...

3 Homecoming

This past weekend was Homecoming on the rolling plains of Dixie 'neath the sun-kissed sky. Homecoming is such a fun weekend because as an alumnae you have the opportunity to re-unite with old friends and as a student you participate in all of the Homecoming festivities such as campaigning for Miss Homecoming, walking in the Homecoming parade that ends with a huge pep rally at Toomer's Corner and so much more. When I was in college, my sophomore year, I was spirit chair for my sorority along with my roommate. Part of being spirit chair was making the homecoming float and boy was that a task! We worked our little fingers so hard around all of that chicken wire!!!! It was worth it in the end when...

0 Our lifesaver

If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.-John 14: 15-17Today, I want to talk about love. We all love different things in life. We love our mates, we love our parents, and we love our new pair of shoes. I have been reading a lot about love lately in the Love Dare book. Love is patient, love is kind, love is a choice that people make to stay together forever. On the human scale of loving someone, I can't imagine ever loving anyone more than I love Raleigh....
