Halloween

Every year for Halloween we go out to Grants grandparents house. There neighborhood is always so much fun on Halloween the whole town come there. They shut down the neighborhood at 5 until about 9. We always have a blast when were there with everyone. His whole family comes and we love to sit out on the driveway and give out candy. I love seeing all the little kids and all the creative costumes. I hope everyone had a fabulous HALLOWEEN and got lots of candy!!

Pretty Lady Turns 90!!

My beautiful grandmother turned 90 this month on October 18th. We decided to throw her a big party to celebrate all of her wonderful years and to show her how much she is loved by so many. We invited all our family both close and those who lived far away. We also invited many of Nannie's friends that knew and loved her for the same reasons we did. We had it at the Montgomery Country Club and had a wonderful lunch planned. After everyone got settled and started enjoying there food we began to hear wonderful stories told about my grandmother. My mother and her siblings all told what an amazing mother and friend she is, and the stories they told brought tears to my eyes because it brought tears to my Nannie's eyes. Any body who knows my Nannie will tell you she is the sweetest most kind, loving, genius person you will ever meet. I am truly truly one blessed girl to have her as my grandmother. I can't wait to celebrate many many more years and  make many more memories with this lady.

HAPPY 90th Birthday NANNIE C.!! I love you!!

Lia Sophia!!

I am taking on a new adventure to add to my already crazy and busy life. I am now selling Lia Sophia Jewelry and currently am the only advisor in the city of Birmingham. I was introduced to Lia Sophia at one of my friends shows and fell in love with the great pieces. Lia Sophia is one of the largest jewelry companies for over 30 years now. I love this job because I get paid to party. So far it has been great and I have made great extra money. If you are interested in hosting you own show and getting a lot of free jewelry please let me know. 

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping!

One weekend since my BFF and sister were available we decided to do a little bridesmaid dress shopping not expecting to find anything just begin the looking process. We went to one store before going to Bella Bridesmaid which is the best place to find your dress. The girls tried on several dress that were so cute and my style. But then suddenly one dress stood out among all the rest. Now the picture below shows some of my favorite but not the winner. Do you honestly think I would spoil the moment and show the actual bridesmaid dress?

THANKS SB AND BRITT!! 

Crafts!!

Everyone know I love to do crafts so when I have the opportunity to do something for someone else or myself I definitely will do it! One of my friends at work knows I love to make burlap signs for front doors. She asked me if I could do a cupcake for her daughters 1st birthday! Of course I said yes, it would be my first one and so I wanted to see how it would turn it out. I would say it is absolutely perfect!!

Next is the Pumpkin wreath I made for our front door. It took forever and was sometime frustrating. But I was determined to finish it. And I did and I am so happy with the final result!!                                                                                                                    

 

DAMAGE CONTROL!

Let me tell y'all all a great story about our first major issue in our new house. One morning before school I was taking Dixie (my dog) outside like I usually do and I noticed that there were wet paw prints all over the porch. I came back inside to find all this water on there floor (How I missed this when I walked out still confuses me). I then looked up and saw that we had three leaks and the ceiling looked wet but it was still all sealed. I immediately called Grant, Mom, and told them what happened. I found someone that was going to come by that afternoon to check it out and help solve the problem. That afternoon Grant had gotten home before me and called me while I was still at work, this is what he said "Was the ceiling still on the ceiling or on the floor when you left this morning." I said " UM...on the ceiling. Well as you can tell it had fallen throughout the day. And when I got home I found Grant standing there shaking his head and he had put the doggie gates up blocking the den. It was so funny!! 

Now on to the what caused this little/big leak. Our toilet in the master bedroom had been leaking for several weeks and it had settled and mold had began to grow and finally it just started coming through the sheet rock. Now we have a much bigger whole than the picture below. Grant and I have gotten used to it. We plan on fixing it but are waiting until things settle down because it will be a lot of work. They have to remove half or the ceiling in the room just to make it look normal. So we are not looking forward to that but we know thats the price you pay owning a house.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!
