My iPhone is Old!

By on June 7, 2011

You know how you know you’ve had a phone for a LONG time?

The baby in this picture that I took with my phone…

Well…she came over to our house the other day. And she was up, walking around and talking. I can’t believe it – she’s a kid…not a baby anymore! 🙂

She was one of my husband’s parent’s foster children. I loved her so much – she was such a sweet baby! I honestly asked Josh if we could adopt her. But of course, we didn’t. But she got adopted by a great family who also adopted her older brother. (God is so great!)

And now she’s not a baby anymore – she’s a sweet little girl!

 Weekend pics!

Chocolate Bar!
Laser Show!

Headed to the Braves game!

 

Lacey and Jack are Braves fans too!

Sorry my blog has been mostly pics lately. Apparently, I only have a lot to write about when my job’s not going well. 🙂 But honestly, work’s actually been pretty good. I’ve been super busy (which makes the days go by super fast!) and I just spent the last few weeks on-boarding a new employee in our department (which means I get to use some of my Human Resources skills that are going to waste!). So I’ve actually been happy with my work-life.

As for my personal life, things couldn’t be better! We’ve been doing tons of fun stuff (as you can tell by all the weekend pics) and we’ve almost finished the kitchen renovation. I’d say we’re about 99.5% done! 🙂

On a completely separate subject, I need to renew my teaching certificate. Yes, I’d rather die than teach, but I don’t want to let it expire – it’s a good back up career. But MAN – the Georgia Professional Standards Commission website is SO confusing! Hopefully I’ll figure out what the heck I’m supposed to do before the end of the month!

Steeplechase!

By on April 19, 2011

Last weekend, Josh, my mom and I went to the Steeplechase in Kingston, Ga. It’s like the poor man’s Kentucky Derby. 🙂 We had a blast!

Potato salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, sausage balls and a raspberry lemonade cocktail-

My mom-


On the race track-

The hounds-


Southern tradition-


The winner of the hat contest-
And they’re off!
