I seriously have like 50+ songs i've saved up! I love me some country guys! :)

How cute are these two??

This weekend was so pretty! Booger got lots of play time!!

Hope y'all had a fabulous weekend!

LEAP YEAR & WILW

I have so much to catch y'all up on! We are just swamped at work! I couldn't miss the opportunity to post on a day that doesn't come every year and to remind myself of all the blessings in my life!

I'm linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'M LOVING... It's my BiRtHdAy MoNtH tomorrow!!!

I'M LOVING... this cutie pie will be here in 9 days!!!

I'M LOVING... this beautimous Hobo! Did I mention it's almost my birthday month?!?!







I'M LOVING... my heavenly Father & two precious men!



This may be too much...

I hope I don't seem like just a ranting, raveing, whiny, complainer to ya! ha. It's only 10:36 here and I feel overwhelmed, anxious, and not really sure of myself, already!

I wake up on time this morning. I even had time to fix a bowl of cereal and semi-watch an episode of Fresh Prince. I have always been a thinker. Brandt knows if I am sitting anywhere with nothing to do or nothing that interests me, I'll think up the most absurd things. So, this morning, it must have been a commercial break that got me thinking. I looked over to my left and smiled at this amazing man I get to wake up next to every morning. However, as I smiled my mind got to racing at the changes that have been occuring in our lives. I look on facebook daily and I see these pictures of these couples who are so lovey, dovey, and head-over-heels for each other. It just makes me wonder, seriously are they that affectionate and perfect or are they showing off these pictures because there's more than we know going on behind their closed doors?

I have never been in a perfect relationship. I will never be. I can accept that. I can't help but remember the days where Brandt and I couldn't go an hour without hearing one another's voices, would race to jump on each other the moment we were together, always holding hands, taking steps in sync, and just being that couple that makes you wanna barf! ha.

This morning, staring at the most beautiful man I know, it got me thinking, I want to go back to that.

I want to be in a relationship that makes others barf, again!

Why does a relationship have to leave that honeymoon phase? Because you get comfortable and gain a little weight? That's a lame excuse if you ask me! Brandt brings new joy and beauty both physical and emotional to my life everyday. So how did we ever get stuck in this comfy rut?

I know a lot of people are discussing Lent here recently. I'm a Christian but not an every weekend church-goer. We would love to find a church in our area, however, I am ashamed to say this but, it's out of my comfort zone. I am getting there though. This morning, after all my thoughts, I tried to think of a resolution to my excessive pondering. How does a relationship stay in that so-called "honeymoon phase". I do not mean this post in a nieve way either. I am fully aware it is inevitable that relationships have to grow and with growing comes pain, suffering, and struggle. However, I feel like with a little effort from both sides, a relationship could have an everlasting "honeymoon" with small bumps in the road. So, with that said, for my "lent" I am going to strive for a relationship that still has that "spark" and "butterflies" more of the time. I am going to give up my comfortable ways for at least 40 days, hopefully forever. I am going to call just to say "hey, I love you", I'm going to reach over and hold his hand while were watching tv, I'm gonna give big hugs again like we haven't seen each other in days, and I'm just gonna try to be the best supporter and listener, etc.

This post was not meant to be so overly emotional. I want people to know I don't just write on my blog for entertainment purposes only. I'm real! I have real everyday issues with family, friends, Brandt, and even strangers. I want to feel like I can blog in a joking manner on days but also find strength to pour my heart out when needed.

Thanks for listening. I'm off the the Pulmonoligist here soon to see if my pneumonia is all gone. At least my mind is on my relationship and not this awful weather were supposed to get later today! ha

Happy Thursday.

What's on my fridge???

I'm linking up with Miranda over at Aimless Translation for "What's on your fridge?". Such a cute idea!

(courtesy of iphone)

On the front we have our calendar. Remember my OCD??? I have to keep up with appointments. I sound important, huh? HA! I also keep a list of groceries/stuff we need. At the bottom there's my sister's cheerleading pic, a pic of Brandt and Bandit, a reminder for me to order this tornado video from the April 27th tornado here, and a coursage (?) from one of my good friends wedding.

(Starting from top left and going down right to left.)

We have a small blue post-it that my sister made boo and I, my insurance magnet, yummo margarita magnet, picture of Brandt's darling Nanny and Bandit, a football bottle opener magnet, a "save the date" picture of my best friend and her now hubby, picture of boo with his Nanny and his sweet sweet mama, a bible verse I live by, picture of UGA (the doggy) from a football game, pic of sweet boo when he played highschool football, a penguin magnet from one of my siblings field trips, pic of siblings when they were younger, a love magnet, some rando magnet off the phonebook, a support Tuscaloosa magnet from the tornado, a note from my sister, a barely visible pic of a huge turkey I saw driving down the road (so serious!!), and a ruby falls magnet.

Oh yea, and on the door there's pics of my siblings.

Other than that, I'm so excited about my day! Yesterday Boo got a call from an unknown number and didn't really think anything of it. He called it back this morning and it was the number to an opportunity we have been wishing for for over a year now! I want to shout to the world in excitement, however, I am going to limit my expectations because they have been known to let me down! All I can say for now is, I was/am/will always be a believer in prayer and now I am a witness of an answered prayer! I can't wait to see where this journey take my small family. And, I can't wait to share it with YOU! Happy Wednesday pretties!!!

I think I'll take a walk in the sunshine

Of course, I'm a day late... Ooops!

Anywhoo... I'm linking up with Savanah for Phone Photo Fun Mondays!

1.) I love the Hobo's. But... one with my initials is so much better!! Not sure where this came from. I think a page on my facebook.

2.) Or even better... a cross-over with initials :) I love to picture shop!

3.) A scrumptious salad I had from Publix one day for lunch!

4.) Funny picture I got one day.

5.) My boo's dream truck!

6.) Noone ever spells his name right! Can you believe it, toothpaste does!

7.)A Lauren Hobo that was SUCH a good deal! But, sadly, I'm broke! Boo!

8.) A home-made picture frame! I loves it! Now, i just gotta find a pic to go in it!!

AND well... since it's Tuesday, I might as well link up with Savanah again.

I love bling on shoes!! Even though I'm super short, I prefer flats because, I am the clumsiest person ever!!!

I want a cushion-y, lounge-y, cuddle-y couch so bad!! Our couches are super nice, but they're so not lay around on a Sunday couch!

Believe it or not, both of these dresses are bathing suit cover-ups! My big secret! I am a cover-up hog! You can find them super cheap! Pair them with a matching cardigan and some leggings! The most comfy outfit eva!

I gotta remember to take a pic of my fridge so I can link up with the fridgey post! Happy Mondee y'all!
